Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
(I can't claim credit for writing these.)
Mal: Because the other side of the road was the only place it could live life on its own terms, without being meddled with.
Zoë: Because that's where the job was, Sir.
Wash: It followed a really hot girl chicken that could kill it with its pinky. Do chickens have pinkies? No? Well, I don’t know then.
Jayne: The money was better over there. (mutters) Lousy seven percent...
Kaylee: To meet shiny new chickens and see the sights.
Simon: That's where the Alliance was hiding its sister.
River: To get to the other side.
Inara: It just suddenly, for no apparent reason, decided to pick up and abandon the luxurious life it had on this side of the road. That's not odd, is it?
Book: It was a pilgrimage. Wracked with guilt over the atrocities it had committed, the chicken decided to devote the remainder of its life to God in a desperate search for redemption. Just a guess.
Jubal: That ain't no chicken.
YoSafBrige: Because you were over there, sweetie.
The Operative: The chicken's motivations are not my concern. Getting it across the road is.
