Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Zoe is the second in command on the ship, and Mal's right hand. Who plays the role of Zoe?

Answer: Gina Torres

Gina has been a guest star on a lot of shows, including the serene Jasmine on another Joss Whedon show, "Angel". She is arguably best known for her role as Zoe Washburne in "Firefly".

2. While the crew is on Persephone, Kaylee sees a dress that she loves in a store. Mal offends her by saying wearing the fluffy dress will make her look like a ____.

Answer: sheep on its hind legs

Kaylee is the ship's mechanic but secretly fantasises about being more of a girl,especially with the glamourous Inara on board. The fluffy cake-like creation in the shop window is her dream dress.

3. During their sitdown Jayne comments on the good liquor offered by Badger. What is the trick to this drink, according to Badger?

Answer: Wood alcohol

Badger is a shady character who does his business on Persephone, and from time to time gets the crew a job.

4. Which gentleman accompanies Inara to the ball?

Answer: Atherton Wing

Atherton makes Inara an offer to live on Persephone as his permanent companion. He doesn't count on Mal's protective nature when it comes to Inara.

5. Back on the ship, what does River do with the canned food?

Answer: Tears off the labels

River is still extremely unstable as a result of her experiences at the Academy. For some reason she loses it when she sees the tinned food.

6. Mal is very cocky when Atherton challenges him to a duel. He's shocked when he learns the weapon of choice is _______.

Answer: swords

Mal is proficient with most weapons, not least his fists. However, he barely knows which side of a sword to hold.

7. Who attempts to train Mal in the art of sword fighting?

Answer: Inara

Inara is a woman of the world schooled in a variety of subjects. Sword fighting is something you pick up as you go...

8. Mal kills Atherton in the duel.

Answer: False

Mal gets the better of Atherton when he is distracted by Inara. He feels it is worse to be humiliated like that, but still pokes Atherton with the sword. Bit of fun.

9. According to Mal, what is the mark of a great man?

Answer: Mercy

He mercifully lets Atherton live, but gives him a few friendly stabs. He's an OK man, if not completely great.

10. What system did Kaylee use to create the "wine" that Mal and Inara drink at the end of the episode?

Answer: Inter-engine fermentation system

Mal and Inara have a drink while discussing the events on Persephone, and while it is obvious to all that there is an attraction between them, neither will admit it.
