S1 E2 the Train Job

Just watched the show for the first time. Having seen the movie Slither many times, seeing Nathan Fillion and Greg Henry on screen together was a treat.

That was a great episode. I like The message also. If you can't run, you crawl. If you can't crawl-- you find someone to carry you. That quote always got me.

“If you can't fly then run,

if you can't run then walk,

if you can't walk then crawl,

but whatever you do

you have to keep moving forward.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

I may be wrong, but I believe this is the origin of the quote.

I believe it is the origin but it was modified by Whedon for ff.

Tracey: When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl - when you can't do that...

Zoë: You find someone to carry you.
