Quotes 

• Inara Serra : A companion chooses her own clients. That's guild law. But physical appearance doesn't matter so terribly. You look for a compatibility of spirit... There's an energy about a person that's difficult to hide. You try to feel that...

  Mal : [walks in]  And then you try to feel the energy of their credit account. It has a sort of aura...

  Inara Serra : What did I say to you about barging in to my shuttle?

  Mal : That it was manly and impulsive?

  Inara Serra : Yes, precisely. Only the exact phrase I used was "don't."

  Mal : Well you're holding my mechanic in thrall - and Kaylee, what the hell's going on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

• Book : I wish I could help.

  [Inara turns to face him & he realizes what he said] 

  Book : I mean... I don't wanna help- Not *help* help, but- Not with the thieving, but-

  [Inara smiles, tries not to laugh] 

  Book : I do feel awfully useless.

  Inara : You could always pray they make it back safely.

  Book : I don't think the captain would much like me praying for him.

  Inara : Don't tell him. I never do.

• Inara : Mal, if you're being a gentleman, I may die of shock.

  [with a smirk Mal half bows, turns and walks out; goes back in just to be annoying] 

  Mal : Have you got time to do *my* hair?

  Inara : Out!

• Inara : You have such lovely hair. I'm sure the doctor would agree.

  Kaylee : Who? Simon? No, he's much too- I mean I'm just- Do you think it looks better up?

  Inara : We can experiment. We might even get wild later and wash your face.

• 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.

• Book : So... how do you think it's going?

  Inara : The caper? Mal knows what he's doing.

  Book : How long have you known him?

  Inara : I've been on the ship eight months now. I'm not certain I'll ever actually know the captain.

• [after Inara has been doing Kaylee's hair and Mal has ordered her out] 

  Mal : You're servicing crew now.

  Inara Serra : [snickers]  In your lonely pathetic dreams.
