A Joke That Not Everybody Understands.

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds : 

But it ain't all buttons and charts, Little Albatross. 

You know what The First Rule of Flying is? 

Well, I suppose you do, since you already know what I'm about to say. 

River Tam : 

I do. But I like to hear you say it. 

Moses and Jesus are playing golf. 

Moses steps up to The Tee and hits a beautiful shot 250 yards straight down The Middle of The Fairway. 

Jesus steps up to The Tee and hooks The Ball into The Trees. 

Jesus looks up into The Heavens, raises His arms, and suddenly The Sky darkens. 

A thunder clap rings out, rain pours down, and a stream rises among The Trees. 

The golf ball, floating on top finds its way into the mouth of a Fish!

Then a Bird flies down and takes The Fish and The Ball out, over The Green, drops it in The Cup for a hole-in-one. 

Jesus turns to Moses with a satisfied grin, and Moses says, 

'Look. You wanna play golf or do you wanna fuck around?' 


I'm sorry, I know you mean well. 

You just didn't think it through. 

You want to Protect The World, but you don't want it to change.... 

How is Humanity Saved if it's not allowed to... evolve? 

[picks up one of the dismembered Keyboard Warriors] 

With these? 

These puppets? 

There's only one Path to Peace: 

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds : 

Love. 

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in The Air that you don't love, She'll shake you off just as sure as The Turning of The Worlds. 

Love keeps Her in The Air when She oughta fall down, tells you She's hurtin' 'fore She keens.

Makes her a Home. 


River Tam : Storm's getting worse. 


Capt. Malcolm Reynolds : 

We'll pass through it soon enough.
