Ariel [The crew talks about their upcoming visit to core planet Ariel while they eat.] Wash: Big stop just to renew your license to Companion. Can I use "Companion" as a verb? . . . [Jayne hocks some spit to help sharpen his knife.] Simon: Could you not do that while we're… ever? [Jayne spits again] Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful! Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey! [Unobserved by anyone, River pulls a huge carving knife out of the kitchen rack.] Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excludin' people. [grins] That'd be rude. [Suddenly, River slashes Jayne in the chest.] . . . River: He looks better in red. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Coached by Simon, the crew prepares to impersonate emergency medical technicians.] Mal: Patients were cynical, and not responding, and we couldn't bring 'em back. Simon: They were cyanotic… Mal: They were cyanotic… Simon: … and not responsive… Mal: … not responded— responsive… Simon: … and we were unable to… Zoe: Res— Mal: Resuscitate them! . . . Simon: Which methods did you use? Zoe: We— we tried pulmonary stimulators, and— and cardiac… we… Simon: Infusers. Zoe: Infusers! . . . Simon: What about cortical electrodes? Jayne: Oh! [long pause] We forget 'em. Simon: Let's try that again. . . . Mal: Pupils were fixed and dilapitated— Simon: Dilated. Mal: Dilated. Dilated! Ching-wah TSAO duh liou mahng! Shiny. . . . Jayne: Unable to get a neural… Simon: Response. Jayne: Response! Hell, I don't know. If I wanted schooling, I'd-a gone to school. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [The newly-minted "ambulance" opens, and the three faux EMTs emerge.] Simon: If I didn't know better, I'd say you're ready to save some lives! Mal: Now all we need are a couple o' patients. Simon: Corpses, actually. For this to work, River and I will have to be dead. Jayne: Huh. I'm starting to like this plan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Mal worries about Jayne's commitment to the comatose Simon and River.] Mal: Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery. . . . Jayne: The doc did good, comin' up with that job. Don't mean I like 'im any better. Nothing buys bygones quicker than cash. Maybe I'll give him a tattoo while he's out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [The faux EMTs wheel in their body containers, ready to do their spiel to get them to the morgue.] Emergency Nurse: What do you got? Mal: Got a couple DOAs. By the time we got there— Emergency Nurse: Take them down to the morgue. [Mal looks at his stunned team. Zoe begins to wheel her container in, but Jayne just stands there.] Jayne: We applied the cortical electrodes, but we were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [A doctor is hassling "EMT" Mal for his insubordination.] Doctor: You must be new. Don't get comfortable. Your type doesn't last long here. When your supervisor hears about the rude and disresp— AGHHH! [He collapses. Behind him, Zoe lowers defibrillator paddles.] Zoe: Clear. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [On the diagnostic table, River screams.] River: No! No! No. They come out of the black. They come when you call. Simon: River, it's okay— it's, it's over. We're leaving. [River looks straight at Jayne.] River: Your toes are in the sand. Jayne: And your head's up your— Simon: Hey!
