You need the plugin's Javascript file(s) and either one of the development or production main jQuery files.

The difference between the development and production version is really just size - the production one has been through a Javascript minifier to make it a lot smaller, but it makes it unreadable by eye. If you don't need to look through the source of the jQuery library (and if you're just using a plugin you probably don't) then use the production version.
