Firefly
[After closing the bridge door, Saffron grabs Wash's hand and pulls him close. They stare at the stars.]
Saffron:
Do you know the myth of Earth-That-Was?
Wash:
Not so much.
Saffron:
That when she was born, she had no sky, and was open, inviting. And the stars would rush into her, through the skin of her…
Wash:
Huh.
Saffron:
...making the oceans boil with sensation. And when she could endure no more ecstasy, she puffed up her cheeks and blew out the sky.
Wash:
Whoa. Good myth.
. . .
Saffron:
Make this night what it should be. Please? Show me the stars.
Wash:
Wuh duh ma huh ta duh fung-kwong duh wai-shung doh... I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not… married, not... madly in love with a beautiful woman who... can... kill me with her pinkie!
