Mount Moriah

“I’ll buy you a Delicatessen..!
In Stainless Steel..!!
Please..!!!”


You remember what you said? 
That 007 actually died 
in the assault on Piz Gloria. 
I've been thinking, maybe 
you were right about that. 

Died... and then reborn in 
The World to Come. 

[Davros' laboratory]

(The Doctor enters.) 

Mister Six : 
I see you've been busy. 

DAVROS: 
Whereas you have 
been stupid, Doctor. 

Mister Six : 
Prerogative of a Time Lord. 
Where's Peri? 

DAVROS: 
Safe, for the time being. 

Mister Six : 
I must say, 
I'm surprised to see YOU. 

The last time we met, 
Your Ship blew up — 
I thought, with you on board. 

DAVROS: 
Not when there is 
An ESCAPE-POD 
to be had.






OHMSS is the first one 
which doesn’t end 
with The Escape Pod.
and he STAYS Angry 
about that —FOREVER.

THAT’S His Story.










“007. Glad you came back. 
I wanted to take up that discussion we were having.”

“I can't right now.”

“About Abraham and Isaac. 
You remember what you said? 
That Isaac actually died 
on Mount Moriah. 
I've been thinking, maybe 
you were right about that.

That Isaac actually died 
on Mount Moriah.

The World to Come.

007, •STOP•. 
WHERE Do You THINK 
You're GOING? 

Don't You Know?  
There's Nothing UP There.

Hold Him over The Volcano’s Edge


At the beginning of the Ian Fleming novel,
You Only Live Twice 
James Bond’s wife Tracy has been murdered. 
The Book follows his “rebirth”, 
when he is given a reputedly 
“impossible” mission.

This haikai no renga poem appears in Chapter 11 :

You only live Twice:
Once when you are Born
And once when you 
look Death in The Face.



Niska: 
[sing-songie] 
Mr. Reynolds...

[moans] 

Niska: 
You died, Mr. Reynolds.

Mal: 
Seemed like the thing to do.

Niska: 
When you die, 
I can't hurt you any more. 
And I want two days at least, minimum.




Book: 
Did you ever read the works of Shan Yu?

Simon: 
Shan Yu the psychotic dictator?

Sadistic crap legitimized by florid prose. 
Tell me you're not a fan.

Book: 
Yep. Fancied himself quite The Warrior Poet. 
Wrote volumes on War, Torture, 
The Limits of Human Endurance.

Simon: 
That's nice.



Jayne Cobb: 
I'm smellin' a lotta 'if' comin' off this plan.

Zoë Washburne: 
You could'a stayed in your bunk.

Jayne Cobb: 
Could'a, should'a, would'a.

[cocks rifle] 


Simon: 
Did you do anything today?

River Tam: 
Played with Kaylee. 
The Sun came out, and I walked on my feet 
and heard with my ears. 

I hate the bits, the bits that stay down and I work, 
I f-function like I'm A Girl. 
I hate it because I know it'll go away! 

The Sun grows Dark 
and Chaos has come again. 

It's... fluids. 

What am I?

Simon: 
You are My Beautiful Sister.

River Tam: 
I-I threw up on Your Bed.

Simon: 
Yep. Definitely My Sister.
