Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 3: - Our Mrs. Reynolds

Saffron: We've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh?
Mal: Well, no. Uh, we're still two fleshes here.

Season 1 / Episode 3: - Our Mrs. Reynolds

Inara Serra: Well, yes. So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress?
Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.
Inara Serra: And you'd know that because...?
Mal: You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.
Inara Serra: Let's keep it that way. I withdraw the question.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: Jayne says that his gun (which we know as "Vera" from earlier in the episode) needs oxygen around it to fire. The gun is shown with standard projectile rounds which produce all the oxygen they need. The producers were not sure if "Vera" would need oxygen to fire. So they asked a gun expert, who gave them the wrong information, according to commentary on the DVDs.
FAKE: Saffron's "Bible" quote is actually not found in any part of the Bible.
CONT: Wash's position in the doorway, after Saffron hits him changes.

TRIVIA

This is the only episode in which River does not speak. She had lines in the original shooting script, but they were cut before the episode made it to air.
All of Saffron's dialogue is written in Shakespeare's iambic pentameter. In fact there is a reference to "Romeo and Juliet", when Inara kisses Mal and she is poisoned from the kiss.
