Mal:
Lucrative as this stuff is, I'll be glad to see the last of it. [loading the stolen medical supplies] Kind of makes us a target for—

Zoe:
[checking controls and dials] Was River in here messing around? The ignition sequence is all turned about, I can't even—

Wash:
[entering] I can.

Mal:

Wash:

Mal:

Wash:
No, sir.

Zoe:
You changed the sequence?

Wash:

Mal:

Wash:
Well, it's a dangerous mission sir. [looking at Zoe] I can't stand the thought of something happening that might cause you two to come back with another thrilling tale of bonding and adventure. I just can't take that right now.

[Zoe leaves.]

Wash:
Bye, hon. [sarcastic] We promise not to stop for beers with the fellas! [Turning to Mal,] So... are we gonna sing army songs or something?

[The shuttle takes off.]
