Zoe and Wash enter as Kaylee leaves. Wash declares, "Oh my God! It's grotesque! Oh, and there's something in a jar." I rolled my eyes, and then I realized that's exactly the kind of comment I would make. Zoe asks Simon if he scared Kaylee away again. Simon says, "This may come as a shock, but I'm actually not very good at talking to girls." Snerk. Hee. Really? Zoe asks, "Why? Is there somebody out there you're actually good at talking to?" Well, he seemed to get through to Jayne in "Trash," didn't he? You just have to have the right tools -- in Jayne's case, a touch of bondage. Wash lies to the aborted mutant calf that humans are a peaceful race and they must all "live together."
