That’s Sick

I don’t agree with that interpretation of The Facts.

Q. : We were talking about Work Ethic —

Because Everyone in comparison 

to YOUR output, Joss, and your Work Ethic, 

would appear to be slack and lazy —

Because, y’know, people work very hard, 

in Life, and they get their pay —

But YOU seem to be working, like, 

a hundred times harder than •anybody• else —

J.W. : Well, part of that is Smoke and Mirrors, 

I think, but part of it is that I DO Love The Work,

and also, I DO Have A Problem,

A Serious •Mental• Problem :

It’s Workaholism, and it’s •not• fun, 

I Don’t DO Anything Else —

Other People Have Lives,

and, They’re Nice to Their Friends,

and They do all sorts of things that 

I •forget• to do in The Morning

(and that also includes Basic Hygiene, 

but let’s not talk about that....) “

I mean, none of my schoolteachers could’ve told you, that this was going to happen

and that was really 

The ONLY Reason —

Zoë: 

We got time for gravediggin’?

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: 

Zoë, get something to rope them together, 

five or six of them. I want them laid out 

on the nose of Our Ship.

Dr. Simon Tam: 

Are you INSANE?

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: 

Put Book front and center - 

He was Our Friend, 

We should honour him. 

Kaylee! 

Find that kid who’s takin’ 

a dirt nap with baby Jesus — 

We need a hood ornament.

Jayne! 

Try not to steal 

too much of their shit!
