Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

The sudden but inevitable betrayal was appropriate.

My days of not taking you seriously are coming to a middle.
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.

Tallpine, it appears your thread got here just in the nick of time.

Know what that makes you?

A big damn hero.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."
--Lysander Spooner

I reject your authoritah!

I followed the link and watched. I was just observing a moment of respectful silence.

More. Please! I need more witty Firefly writing without having to actually rewatch the series (which I don't have time to do).
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.

Poor Zahc. Here you go. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/quotes

If you pull up Firefly the series from that page, then click the episode, then Plot Summary about half way down, then "Memorable Quotes" about half way down on left, there's a page of quotes pertaining to that episode. Serenity has the same. That's 15 pages of Firefly quotes dear. Enjoy.

Don't ask me why or how I know this.

Yeah we have converted her.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war!
