"My mathematical abilities came in handy in this environment and I could accurately predict where and how to hit the balls. But Ellen I failed at the dissembling necessary for such things. Without my older and wilier partners I would have lost money, not gained it. Isn’t that strange?"
I loved that River gets the geometry and math of pool, but not how to "play" the people. The idea of Mal and Jayne teaching her to hustle pool just amuses the hell out of me for some reason. Good one!
