"Seems River doesn't want me making up a bed for our young guest." "Or she's starting a pillow collection, I'm still collating data." " I'm sorry." "I'll take care of the room." " It's not important!" "Tell him." "Tell him what?" "We want you to marry us." "What?" "Wait!" "No!" " What?" " Two by two." "Everyone a match, a mate, a doppel." "I love you." "River, I mean, of course, I love you too." "But we can't be married." "She's really crazy." "Oh!" "No!" "I don't mean crazy." "That's just..." "You know, that's not something brothers and sisters do." "I mean, on some planets, but only pretty bad ones." "The captain took a wife." "Well, that's also complicated." "I don't know where this is coming from." "We'll take care of each other." "I'll knit." " You don't love me." " What's going on?" "I really couldn't say." "I was going to show Saffron to her quarters." "It squared away?" "Once upon a time..." "I really don't need anything." "I'm just fine." " You're a thief." " Whoa, ho." "Let's play nice here." "Your sister's got some funny notions." "That's not untrue." "I'm sorry." "I didn't know when I was to be fed, and I was afraid." "You made that fine meal, didn't eat yourself?" "That was for you, weren't but pot-lickings left." "I took this for later." "I didn't know she saw me." "I didn't see you." " There's certainly no harm done." " And I say there is." "A good deal of harm." "It's starting to tick me off." "I got no use for people sneaking around, taking what ain't theirs." "Yes, we frown on that here." "But what I got even less use for is a woman who won't stand up for herself." "Five days hence we're putting you in the world, and you won't last a day by bowing and sniffing for handouts." "You want something, you take it or you ask for it." "Don't wait to be told when to breathe, don't take orders from anyone except me." "That's just because I'm the captain." "People take orders from captains, even in the world." "But for the rest be like a woman is, not some petrified child." "Over 70 Earths spinning about the galaxy and the meek have inherited not a one." "You understand what I'm saying to you?" "I do." "Shepherd would you show Saffron her room, please?" "Yes." "Now we have to be married." "I'm in the family way."
