to see him do that

and show that he cared

a little bit about her.

My first day of working...

one of my first days of

working, I was in my costume.

And Joss came on set.

And I was wearing a Hawaiian shirt,

and my hair was red and spiky.

And Joss was standing

there wearing the exact...

[Laughter]

Exactly the same as me.

I was like, "oh, that's

my character right there."

Joss handpicked every single person

from crew to cast.

It was my first TV show.

I remember thinking,

"wow, I wonder if this is

what every show is like."

I wasn't expecting to see

a state official, either.

Ambassador. [Laughs]

I'm missing something funny.

Not so funny.

Ambassador is Mal's way of...

She's a whore, Shepherd.

The term is "companion."

I always get those mixed up.

- How's business?

- None of yours.

The sort of travesty of it was

Joss made this great two-hour movie

for the network,

and they didn't think

it was exciting enough.

Fox is a network that really

likes to court a younger audience.

And I don't think it

was snapping and moving

as quickly as they had hoped.

The thing that I remember

worrying about the most

was that the network deemed

the pilot to be too dark.

I don't understand.

You never heard of Reavers?

What happens if they board us?

If they take the ship,

they'll rape us to death,

eat our flesh,

and sew our skins into their clothing.

And if we're very, very lucky,

they'll do it in that order.

They wanted it to be lighter,

more humorous, I think.

They wanted more action, more adventure.

It was just the worst to know

that people upstairs weren't

really feeling the same way that we were.

They didn't know if they

were gonna pick up the show,

and then, literally, they called and said,

"we need a script on Monday."

We're like, "we can't

write one over the weekend!

That's crazy!"

[Laughter]

I'll do it!

And then we did.

Ladies and men folk,

we have ourselves a job.

It's a train heist.

See, we fly over the train car,

the Captain and Zoe sneak in,

we lower Jayne onto the car,

and they bundle up the Booty,

and we haul 'em all back up.

Easy as lyin'.

Torres:
Tim minear and

Joss really put together

a fantastic second episode,

which had all the elements

that Fox was looking for.

I mean, the truth is when they said

they didn't want to air the pilot,

you just knew that this was

probably not going to go well.

You know, we were on pins and needles,

waiting to see what was gonna happen.

Means you're looking to put us

on the defensive right up front.

Which means something's gone wrong.

It didn't go wrong on our end,

so why don't we start again

with you telling us what's up?
