Does any one know of any sites (like this one: http://fireflychinese.home.att.net/episode.html) with translations of chinese phrases in serenity? Thanks ahead of time

I believe that's because the site in question focuses on the Chinese and phrase Simon used to put River asleep is Russian. Old Russian IIRC.

I can't remember the exact quote but it was something about laughter and chickens.

Don't mention it. Oh, and I found this in Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_(film) ):

Quote:

The safeword phrase that Simon uses to shut River down, "Eta kuram na smekh", is a Russian expression ("Это курам на смех"). Literally, it means, "That's for chickens to laugh at"; colloquially, it means, "That's ridiculous."
