So, you think that's your kind of party, do you? Well, have fun. You don't fool me one bit, Inara, even if you manage to fool yourself most of the time.

Now that things are settled down a bit, you're awfully quick to pass judgment on petty thieving and bar fighting, but I saw your eyes light up when I waved that slaver's cash in your face, and you sure as hell tucked it where the sun only occasionally shines faster than a rabbit on drops.

Hate to break it to ya, but you ain't all sugar and spice, sweetheart.
