Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. All of the trouble in this episode is caused because a part on Serenity blew. What is the part called?

Answer: catalyzer

Captain of Walden: "Compression coil, you say?"
Mal: "It was the catalyzer."
Captain of Walden: "Catalyzer's a nothin' part."
Mal: "It's nothin' till you don't got one. Then it appears to be everything."

2. At one point, Mal stumbles into the infirmary to give himself a shot. What's in the needle he jabs into his chest?

Answer: adrenaline

Earlier in the episode, Simon uses one of these same needles to pump Zoe full of adrenaline, so later when we see Mal use the same kind of needle, we know what it is. Ivoprovalyn, propoxin, and hydrozapam are three of the drugs they steal from a hospital in another episode, called "Ariel."

3. The fire on Serenity happens on the same day as a specific event. What is the event?

Answer: Simon's birthday

Simon: "Suffocation's not exactly the most dignified way to go. The human body will--"
Inara: "Please, I don't really require a clinical description right now."
Simon: "I'm sorry. I just...it's my birthday."

4. As the crew is sitting down to dinner, Wash tells Mal that their course is set. Where are they headed?

Answer: Greenleaf

Mal: "So, we got a course set?"
Wash: "We do. Took a little creative navigating, but we should make it all the way to Greenleaf without running afoul of any Alliance patrols. Or a single living soul, for that matter."
Mal: "Good. Way it should be."

5. In a flashback, we meet the original mechanic of Serenity. What is the name of this mechanic?

Answer: Bester

Tanaka and Renshaw are two people Mal mentions in the Wash flashback that are really anxious to get Wash on their own crews. Marco is one of the bandits Jayne is with in his flashback.

6. Jayne is with another group of bandits when he first meets up with the crew of Serenity. What's the name of this group's leader?

Answer: Marco

Mal: "Looks can be deceiving."
Jayne: "Not as deceiving as a low-down dirty deceiver."
Mal: "Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe?"
Zoe: "Had a kinda poetry to it, sir."
Jayne: "You want I should shoot 'em now, Marco?"
Marco: "Wait until they tell us where they put the stuff."

7. When Mal is showing Inara the shuttle in her flashback, he mentions someone else who is interested in renting it. Who is it?

Answer: a surveyor

Mal: "I got a surveyor and his wife interested in renting it. They're just waitin' to hear back."

8. Inara tells Mal he's going to rent the shuttle to her, and at quite a discount. When he asks why she thinks she deserves this, she says what?

Answer: You want me.

Inara: "You want me. You want me on your ship."
Mal: "Do I?"
Inara: "Yes. Because I can bring something that your surveyor or any other fish you may have on line can't--a certain respectability."

Answer: Billy

Captain: "Billy, get this plugged in. Jesse, call Stern over here. You and him'll pilot this pile of go se outta here."
Mal: "Jesse, don't call Stern. Billy, leave the catalyzer."

10. After being shot, Mal pulls a gun on the other captain. Where does he get the gun from?

Answer: it's strapped under the mule

As Mal is lying there bleeding, he looks over at the mule. From Mal's point of view, the camera shows us a small gun strapped to the bottom of the vehicle.
