“Go to the devil, Captain Drake. (Serenity)That’s not very ladylike! (Morgan)Then try this one. Go to hell, and…and rot! (Serenity)”

“You are a very dangerous woman, Serenity. (Morgan)Me? (Serenity)Aye. And the worst part is, you don’t even know why. (Morgan)”

“What the devil are you doing here? (Morgan)I am sitting in a most uncomfortable chair. (Serenity)”

“Life at sea is hard. And often deadly. (Morgan)Then why do you do it? (Serenity)Because we love it. (Morgan)A glutton for punishment, aren’t you? (Serenity)”

“You’ve no idea what it’s like, Captain Drake, to be a woman. To be told all your life that everything you want is foolish and that you’re useless except as a broodmare. First it was simple. ‘Don’t climb that tree, Serenity. Ladies never do such.’ Then it was, ‘Don’t run, it’s not ladylike. Don’t raise your voice. Don’t speak your thoughts. Don’t laugh too loudly, don’t eat too much, don’t cut your hair, don’t wear those colors.’ My whole life is don’t. Now I’m too old to even be a broodmare. (Serenity)”

“To adventure the likes of which I think neither of us have ever seen. (Morgan)And to fate. To the very fate that has abandoned us to turmoil. (Serenity)”
