Firefly

[macskeptic]

Here is a dialogue between River Tam and Shepard Book, from the episode "Jaynestown" of the Firefly series:

Book: What are we up to, sweetheart?
River: Fixing your Bible.
Book: I, um... What?
River: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense.
[she's marked up the bible, crossed out passages and torn out pages]
Book: No, no. You-you-you can't...
River: So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem.
Book: Really?
River: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat.

I am a big fan of the discontinued Firefly series, specially because of her, River Tam (played by Summer Glau).

Another one, from the episode "out of gas":

[River finds Book reading the Bible]
River: Don't be afraid. That's what it says. "Don't be afraid."
Book: Yes.
River: But you are afraid.
Book: Yes.
River: You're afraid we're going to run out of air. That we'll die gasping. But we won't. That's not going to happen.
[Book looks at her hopefully]
River: We'll freeze to death first.
