[After closing the bridge door, Saffron grabs Wash's hand and pulls him close. They stare at the stars.]
Do you know the myth of Earth-That-Was?
Not so much.
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…
Huh.
...making the oceans boil with sensation. And when she could endure no more ecstasy, she puffed up her cheeks and blew out the sky.
Whoa. Good myth.
. . .
Make this night what it should be. Please? Show me the stars.
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!
