The Message - S1-E15
Other mistake: The characters in this show often use the made-up curse words 'gorramn' and 'gorrammit.' Toward the end of this episode, just as Tracey grabs Kaylee as a hostage, he shouts, "Gorrammit, Mal." The subtitles read: "You're a rabbit, Mal." (00:35:50)

Question: In some scenes, why do the Serenity crew members speak Chinese?
