Kaylee : Come on, admit it. It's true.
Simon : No, I won't, because it's not. I use swear-words, like anybody else.
Kaylee : Oh really? See, I never heard you. So when is it that you do all this cussin'? After I go to bed, or...
Simon : I swear... when it's appropriate
Kaylee : Simon, the whole point of swearin' is that it ain't appropriate.

Dr. Simon Tam : My god. You're like a trained ape. *Without* the training.

Simon : [drunk] You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I - I re-attatched a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.
Kaylee : [also drunk] Hamsters is nice.
Simon : To Jayne! The box dropping, man-ape-gone-wrong-thing.

Jayne : Mmm. They call it Mudder's Milk. All the protein, vitamins and carbs of your grandma's best turkey dinner, plus fifteen percent alcohol.
Wash : It's horrific!
Simon : Worked for the Egyptians.
Jayne : What's that?
Simon : The ancient Egyptians, back on Earth-That-Was. It's not so different from the ancestral form of beer they fed to the slaves who built their pyramids. Liquid bread. Kept them from starving, and knocked them out at night, so they wouldn't be inclined to insurrection.
Kaylee : Wow, Simon. That's so... so historical.
Jayne : [to Simon] Tell me, Lil' Miss Big Words. You see a pyramid sittin' out there?
Simon : ...No.
Jayne : Neither do I. So here, let me pour you a big frosty mug of "shut-the-hell-up".
