Mei mei. Everything I have is right here.

Simon

I took you away from there. I know I did. You don't think I do, but...I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and some of it's made up, and some of it can't be quantified, and there's secrets. But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. You found me broken. It's hard for you. You gave up everything you had.

Inara: It takes less than a pound of pressure to cut skin.
Mal: You know that? They teach you that in whore academy?
