S'not as if I can't make it on my own. I have afore. Well, not much, to be honest. Usually had a group. With a leader. Don’t matter none, gorram it! I can make it athout a Cap'n. No Cap'n, no baggage neither. People ain't got much use. Men are for killin' and avoidin' and women are for lovin'. That's their only fucktion. Er, function. Anyway, people, get em done quick an' painless. Yeh. That's my world. No one in it but me. Damn shame it can't never work out proper. I know it don't. I ain't that stupid. Sometimes a body needs others to get anywhere in this 'verse. Right now I need em. Mosta em anyhow. I guess. Mal cos he usually does know what he's about. And Zoe is mighty good with a gun. That comes in handy. The gorram pilot is right good too, even if I can't stand him for long. I don't really need that damn doctor though. Little pussy. Him and his sister are the start of all this trouble here. That girl is crazy, fine to look at, but don’t let her get near ya. She speaks all creepy and can kill a body. Anybody. She nigh offed me, though it shames me to say. Oh, and I don’t much have use for little Kaylee, she fixes Serenity up nice, and she's fun to tease, but I can do athout her. And also athout a whore I can't even be with. Oh, then there's the Shepherd. He's alright as a lifting partner, but otherwise he's jist too gorram thoughtful and religious. So I really can do athout em. Reavers and Alliance don't scare me none. I can take em. Any day. Well, I can steer clear of the Feds, about the rim… right into Reaver territory. Fight Reavers alone? Hell no. I guess it's best to stick with this crew for now. Serenity is reasonable safe. We can help each other. You know they'd be adrift athout me anyhow.
