You are living in Firefly. When I see you guys, I don’t think the show is off the air. I don’t think there’s a show; I think that’s what the world is like. … The story is our lives.
It's about women. It's about power and it's about women and you just hate those two words in the same sentence, don't you?
You give my regards to St. Peter, or whoever has his job, but in Hell.
