Episode Quotes

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: When Mal and Saffron are running from the authorities, they leave the Bellerophon Estates through a door which is using a Von Duprin style crash bar to exit. However, when the guards arrive to that door, it has changed color and the door hardware has transformed to a door handle/doorknob type device.
SYNC: When Saffron and Mal collect the Lassiter artifact, she pulls a gun on the Alliance Fed. Mal reaches into the bouquet of flowers on the floor and pulls out his gun and aims at Saffron. In the English subtitle it says 'speaks Chinese'. If you listen carefully, Mal actually says,"Yo-Saf-Bridge." Which as you learn in this episode, she's Yolanda to the alliance Fed Saffron to Mal, and Bridget to Monty ( Mal's war buddy in the intro). Yo-Saf-Bridge
CONT: In a shot of the garbage container showing Jayne working with the guidance system, the display screen is visible several times. In the first appearance, the screen shows a Microsoft Windows desktop with a "Wizard" screen on it and several folders open, a clear inconsistency with other computer interfaces shown in the show. Subsequent shots show a logo on the screen instead.
FAKE: As Mal and Saffron leave the house, the security panel on the wall wobbles as Saffron puts the locking device on it.
CONT: The port side shuttle is visible in Serenity's port (left) docking bay when both shuttles have left the ship.

TRIVIA

In the scene where Mal and Saffron first arrive at her husband's estate a SR-71 Blackbird can be seen flying in the background.
When Kaylee installs a new component into the trash disposal computer, the display shows a Windows 98 desktop, with a hardware installer dialogue box.
SPOILER: When Saffron looks out the window of her husband's estate , Jubal Early's ship can be seen flying past. (He had been following Serenity since Ariel.)
For Malcolm's line "Yo-Saff-Bridge-", in reference to the character's several names (Yolanda, Saffron, Bridget), the caption falsely claims it is Chinese.
The prized item is a Lasseter laser pistol, which shares its name with John Lasseter, Joss Whedon's co-writer on Toy Story (1995).
