Joss/Tim mentioned this cut scene in the commentary to 'The Train Job'. I sure wish it had been included in the deleted scenes!!!


RIVER
Midbulk transport, standard radion-accelerator core, classcode 03-K64, "Firefly".

Mal enters at that moment, saying:

MAL
Well, that's something. I can't even remember all that.

SIMON
I'm always amazed at what she knows. River, this is Captain Reynolds.

MAL
(to River)
Mal.

She curtsies with exaggerated elegance. A beat, as Mal doesn't know what to do. Then he curtsies back, somewhat awkwardly.

SIMON
(slightly amused)
You bow.

MAL
What?

SIMON
From the waist.
(he demonstrates)
The lady curtsies, the gentleman bows.

MAL
Well, I'm not overly gentle.

He makes his way to the sink, starts rinsing his bloody knuckles.


RIVER
Purple elephants are flying.
MAL
Good. Thanks for the update.

Yeah, shame they left that out. They probably could have added a fifth disc if they'd tried. The full gag reel, more deleted scenes and all the auditions.

Actually, they probably didnt include that becouse they reused that gag in the episode where Mal and Kailee go to the party. When Mal asks Inara to dance, she curtsies, and he curtsies back, the first time I saw that I fell over laughing.
I had to rewind it to see what I missed... multiple times.

People only beleive somehting if it's in a movie

LOL! I never noticed that! In fact, he starts to curtsy and then catches himself and bows. I still think it would be funnier if the original cut scene above had been shown in the earlier episode.

RIVER
Purple elephants are flying.
MAL
Good. Thanks for the update.
