Serenity: Simon Quotes

Zoe spots a security guard looking restless during their raid:

Zoe: [sliding gun barrel alongside security guard's face] You know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed. You can look it up later.

The raid ends in the discovery that the bank safe is almost completely empty:

Zoe: [sarcastic] At last. We can retire and give up this life of crime.

Zoe: Sir, I don’t disagree on any particular point. It’s just…in a time of war, we would’ve never left a man stranded.

Mal: Maybe that’s why we lost.

Mal: Zoe, ship is yours. Remember: if anything happens to me, if you don’t hear from me within the hour, you take the ship — and you come and you rescue me.

Zoe: What? Risk my ship?
