I tried a Googly but couldn't find it, so forgive me if it's already been hashed.

What does River say in Chinese as part of her "Make me a stone" speech? That scene always brings me to tears, but I'd love to understand all of what she says.

Renci de Shangdi, qing dai wo zou

Merciful God please take me away

Wo xiang mei er, mei xin, bian shitou

I will close my eyes and and my heart and become a stone

It made me cry too!

I had no clue as to what the chinese meant while watching it in the theatre, but it conveyed enough, through her performance to make me tear up.....and I'm a guy....

Blakjack,
If you are new, I owe you a Browncoat... let me know if you want one, ok?

Some of the new folks (and some of the old folks) may be getting tired of me dropping in on threads and giving people browncoats and saying howdy.

So I don't want to guess that you are new here, when maybe you've been around for a long time.

Anyway, if you haven't been here before, welcome, this place is awesome and we're glad you are here.

Yes....I am new to the site and always enjoy being made to feel welcome. Actually, I'm new to most posting sites, so few things capture my attention on the internet, enough for me to take time to browse them, so I am still learning to navigate the site. And yes I would like a BrownCoat...

*FollowMal grins and hands BlakJack a Browncoat that she hopes fits perfectly from stores*

Glad to have you with us holdin' til we get a sequel or a series or somethin'!

Firefly caught my attention when not much else has for years now. Addicted is what I am, and happily so.

Someone will notice and probably come along and offer you food and drink... it's a shiny place here and I hope you come to love it as much as me.

Happens often enough w/ this group, whether by River or another BDH... and don't worry. Your guy card won't be revoked for showin some tears. I know,I've gotten misty eyed myself.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I've been with this 'verse since "The Train Job" first aired in '02, I joined this site a few years after looking for a ringtone I could use, 'cause once I found Serenity I didn't want to leave. Anyway, this sounds dumb but when I joined I never bothered askin' for a Browncoat. So, now I'm askin' more then I have before.
think you could pass me one of them fine brown coats of yours?
