Rob: I can see now I never really committed to Laura. I always had one foot out the door, and that prevented me from doing a lot of things, like thinking about my future and... I guess it made more sense to commit to nothing, keep my options open. An...

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: So I'm noticing. Is there a problem we don't know of? [pause] Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: You got a sweet take kissing your foot. How about you take your 25% and we can talk about the next job? Fanty: Well our end is forty, precio...
