• [Sheriff Bourne has caught Mal returning stolen medicine to a plague-stricken town] 

  Sheriff Bourne : You were truthful back in town. These are tough times. A man can get a job. He might not look too close at what that job is. But a man learns all the details of a situation like ours... well... then he has a choice.

  Mal : I don't believe he does.

• Sheriff Bourne : We had some, uh, unrelated trouble. His story had kind of an odor to it.

  Inara Serra : Yes, it's not the only thing about him that does.

• Sheriff Bourne : You mind telling me, uh, when it was you last spoke to Joey Bloggs?

  Mal : Never did, myself.

  Sheriff Bourne : Right. Your uncle. And it was indicated to you that, uh, Joey had an opening?

  Mal : Any job would do.

  Sheriff Bourne : It's funny your Uncle never went to mentioning the Bowden's problem. Or that Joey Bloggs ate his own gun 'bout eight months back.

  Mal : Did he?

  Sheriff Bourne : Yep. Blew the back of his head right off.

  [long pause] 

  Mal : So... would his job be open?
