I don't endorse thievery, but there's something impressive about a non-violent bank robbery of that magnitude. Maybe that's why there have been so many movies with just that plot.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Quester! Sgt. Gabriel herding kittens with pillows was so cute!
I was wondering if they were just going to drop the whole kitten thing -- I'm glad that they didn't.

What is even happening?
Is it wrong to admire these guys:
I think you can probably admire their industry and ingenuity, if not their goals and accomplishments.
That's a lot of hard work. I'd rather get a job.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From Wired:
Smackfest Slapped Down
A New York City radio station has agreed to stop its Smackfest promotion -- women slapping each other for prizes. WQHT Hot 97, a hip-hop station owned by Emmis Communications, held 24 Smackfest contests and then posted images on its website of the young women fighting. It was hit with a $240,000 fine for violating a state law prohibiting the promotion of a combative sport. New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said the fine should be a wake-up call for businesses that think "outrageousness is a clever marketing strategy."

I'm getting the pig!
Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?
Not that I'm pro-Smackfest. I'm too fragile for Smackfest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?
Maybe they thought slapfights were too silly. I certainly do.
Happy birthday, Aimée!

Is boxing allowed in New York state?

If you think round's funny
Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?
My understanding was that the event required a license, which they did not have. Less clear is whether event involving might fists of quit it need a license.
