Firefly
[Mal has Jayne locked in the cargo bay airlock, with the door open to the dwindling atmosphere.]
Mal:
You know, I hear tell they used to keelhaul traitors back in the day. I don't have a keel to haul you on, so...
. . .
Jayne:
What're you takin' it so personal for? It ain't like I ratted you out to the feds!
Mal:
Oh, but you did! You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me! But since that's a concept you can't seem to wrap your head around, then you got no place here. [Pause.] You did it to me, Jayne. And that's a fact.
. . .
[Resigned to his fate, Jayne calls Mal on the comm-link one last time.]
Jayne:
What're you gonna tell the others?
Mal:
About what?
Jayne:
'Bout why I'm dead.
Mal:
I hadn't thought about it.
Jayne:
Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.
[Mal relents and closes the door.]
Mal:
The next time you decide to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face.
[Mal walks away.]
Jayne:
Can I come in?
