River Loses It or a Firefly money moment

River overhears the crew talking about money, the lack of it, the debts they owe, and how they need to find a job quick. River begins walking around slowly, while muttering quietly to herself. “They’re in my head”

River darts by and grabs a pair of scissors. “Shiny” Everyone shouts. “River, put the scissors down!”
Jane keeps sharpening his knife. Spitting on it and passing the blad over the knife sharpener. It was hard to take him seriously while he was wearing the hat that his mother gave him.

Zooey-“The girl has a point Sir. How many times have we been double crossed or sold out to the Alliance by people in debt. They were easily bought by the other side.”

While everyone’s head was turned River begins working on her masterpiece. She begins cutting each card into pieces. “It’s not real, none of it’s real. Currency, created by placing value on a piece of paper or plastic.”

Everyone looks in River’s direction, she’s holding a cut up currency and cards while smiling. Jane: “Dammit Mal, that girl’s not right in the brainpan. She just cut up my gorram cards. I was planning on buying another gun. How am I supposed to get a replacement card out here in the black?”

Kaylee Kaylee ” I think River did the right thing. I only spend cash on account of it’s just easier. She meant no harm by it.”  Walsh Walsh “Can’t we all just get along?” Shepherd Sherpherd Book “The bible has a number of passages focused on the issue of money, debt, and  money’s affect on the spirituality of the ones who hold it” Mal sighs in exasperation “Now Simon, your sister might be right but she can’t go around destroying other people’s property.” Simon Simon leads RIver away. “Come on …” Inara and Kaylee quietly pick up and throw away the pieces of cards. Zoey looks on as Walsh gets sup and pours a cup of tea. The Shepherd continues to sit while looking reflective. Jane finishes sharpening his knife and begins to clean one of his many guns still looking ridiculous in the hat that his mother gave him.
