You're done, Firefly.
Cooked.

Huh? Aah!

Last chance, Firefly.

You're empty.

Just you and me.

Grraaah!

Unh!

Well, based on recent facts
that have come to light,
212
00:19:10,616 --> 00:19:13,586
I suggest that the council
recast their vote
213
00:19:13,686 --> 00:19:15,621
in the matter of
the children's hospital,
214

Bruce, your father would be
proud of you if he were here today.

Thank you, Mayor Grange.

I like to think there's more
to me than a good-looking tie.
