Mark Sheppard: Badger

Quotes 

• River Tam : [mimicking Badger's Cockney accent]  Sure, I got a secret; more 'n one. Don't seem likely I tell 'em to you, now, do it? Anyone off Titan colony knows better 'n to talk to strangers. You're talkin' loud enough for the both of us, though, ain't ya? I've met a dozen like you. Skipped off-home early. Minor graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lockdown, but less than you claim. And you're, what, a petty thief with delusions standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.

  Badger : Nice to see someone from the old homestead.

  River Tam : Not really. Call me if anyone interesting shows up.

  Badger : I like her.

  Jayne : [Whispering to the crew after River leaves]  That there - exactly the kind of diversion we could have used.

• Mal : How would you even set up a meet, man won't deal with you?

  Badger : Know a place he'll be. Safe place. Using some new tech gun scans. High class, too. Won't let me in there. You might slip in. Of course, you couldn't buy an invite with a diamond the size of a testicle. I got my hands on a couple.

  [Mal and Jayne struggle to not laugh] 

  Badger : Of invites.

• Badger : Captain Reynolds. Heard you was in town. Thought we might have a bit of a sit-down.

  Mal : Prefer a bit of a "piss off".

  Badger : I'm very sorry. Did I give you the impression I was askin'?

• Mal : You backed out of a deal last time. Left us hangin'?

  Jayne : Hurt our feelings.

  Mal : You recall why that took place?

  Badger : Had a problem with your attitude, is why. Felt you was - what's the word?

  Jayne : Pretentious?

• Jayne : [drinking tea]  This ain't bad.

  Badger : There's a trick to it. Wood alcohol.

  Mal : Now, we're favored guests, treated to the finest in beverages that make you blind.

• Badger : Won't deal with me direct. He's takin' an irrational dislike.

  Jayne : What happened? He see your face?
