Bury it. Nothing good can come from it. [Why hello, little Miss Bossy.]

[aint_comin_back]

Malcolm Reynolds. Since when has anything that just appeared here ever brought anything good around?

[video]

[aint_comin_back]

So are you going to do it?

Someone actually wants it. I'm willin' to leave 'em to it.

[aint_comin_back]

Hell if I know, but if he wants it, I ain't gonna keep it.
