EXT. SPACE

Serenity approaches Haven, the brightest star in the distance.

INT. SERENITY – PASSENGER DORMS – MORNING

Isaac, Derek, Micah and Joshua stand in the hall in a circle, hands clasped.

ISAAC

Serenity will deliver us into the hands of God and to the promised land, my children. I have foreseen it.

DEREK

The captain won’t submit to God’s will, Isaac.

MICAH

—gold! Hi, honey!

(back to Mal)

The man is a regular leprechaun. With a pituitary disorder, nonetheless…

ZOE

Please. I know Jayne’s coffee is better.

(takes Wash’s cup and drinks)

MAL

ZOE

That’s a shame. Bernabe and Millie’
