Inara Serra

Lovely place. I'll tell my friends.

Inara Serra: — I'd have to say this is the first time we've had a preacher on board.
Derrial Book: — Well, I wasn't expecting to see a state official either. I'm missing something funny?
Kaylee: — Not so funny.
Inara Serra: — Ambassador is Mal's way of saying.
Mal: — She's a whore, Shepherd.
Kaylee: — The term is "Companion."
Mal: — I always get those mixed up.

— So explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress.
— Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. Besides, those soft, cotton dresses feel nice. There's a whole airflow.
— And you'd know that because...?
— You can't open the book of my life in the middle. Like women, I'm a mystery.
— Best keep it that way. I withdraw the question.
