"Well, sure, my mother's ranch is somethin' I want to see again," Mal says, more than a bit disgruntled. "It's ironic that of all things, they'd choose to give me that, and not my ship." He hasn't been to see his mother's ranch yet, and if he's going to be honest, he's not certain he wants to. The way he remembers it from the last time he saw it, it was not a pretty sight.

But he's not the type to run from things that can't be avoided, like this thing can't, so he knows he'll be visiting it soon enough.
