[Kaylee hears something and crawls out from under engine.]

Kaylee:
River? ...River? [startled by Early] Wah!

Early:
I like this ship... Serenity... she's good looking.

Kaylee:
[stuttering] Ha-how how did you... g-get on—

Early:
Strains the mind a bit don'it? You think you're all alone... maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee, bring presents to the good girls and boys. Maybe not, though. Maybe I've always been here.

Kaylee:
What do you want?

Early:
[looks at engine] That's a beating heart isn't it? Pull off any one of a thousand parts she'll just die. Such a slender thread... [coldly] You ever been raped?

Kaylee:
[almost in tears] Th-the captain is right down the hall-hallway- He... c-can... hear you—

Early:
The captain is locked in his quarters. They all are. There's nobody can help you... Say it.

Kaylee:
[breathlessly, a tear starting down her right cheek] There's... there's nobody can help me.

Early:
I'm gonna tie you up now—

Kaylee:
[whimpers]

Early:
And you know what I'm gonna do then? I'm gonna give you a present. Get rid of a problem you've got. And I won't touch you in any wrong fashion, nor hurt you at all, unless you make some kind of ruckus. You throw a monkey wrench into my dealings in any way, your body is forfeit. Ain't nothing but a body to me and I can find all unseemly manner of use for it. Do you understand?

Kaylee:
[holding back tears] Yes.

Early:
Turn around and put your hands behind yer back.

Kaylee:
Oh ughhhh... [moans, but does as she's told.]

Early:
[From behind her as he ties her up] Now tell me Kaylee, where does River sleep?
