Odd enough Subject line to get your attention? I've been so loving the "Things they'll likely never say....." thread, buut I'd like to roll the ball in a slightly different, if not squiggly, direction. An amusing little thought jumped into my head and refused to leave, so my only recourse is to inflict it on you folks:
Wash (a la Scotty): "She won't hold together, Captain! We just don't have the power!"

Then I started thinking of other tv and movie lines that would be appropo coming from Serenity's crew. The problem is, the only other one I could think of is:
Mal (a la Jules from Pulp Fiction): There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who..."

Gimme more! Share your wickedly creative thoughts with the rest of the class

I can totaly see Mal or possibly Jayne (a la Indiana Jones): "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go."

I need time to think up more, but i'll be back.

oh oh! Niska (a la The Terminator) "I'll be back."

Mal to Inara (a la Wesley): as you wish

This one is purely as a joke but would be so hilarious:

Book to the congregation at Simon and Kaylee's wedding: Mawwage, Mawwage is wut bwings us togeva today.....Wuv, twue wuv etc.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MAL: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

RELFEXIVE

This one came to me in a flash...

Book to Mal: "I find your lack of faith disturbing..."

Then...

Saffron to Inara (end of 'Trash'): "I thought they smelt bad on the outside!"

...and...

Wash to Mal: "Wars not make one great!"

...and now I can't crowbar any more in. Unless I think of some more later.

Mal: "We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so... very... pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die."

aah speaking of Wash, I'd love to see him try Spike Spiegel's motto on for size one particularly gruelling turn of the controls,

"Whatever happens, happens." Just under his breath like.

Except he'd then think it through for a moment, gritting his teeth, dodging enemy flak and add,

"that's not right! whatever happens is we're all gonna die."

It's just more his style.

Last Crusade. I think USA is running the trilogy this weekend. Regrettably, I'm hawking my wares a two-day festival far far away.

Ah, a Cowboy Bebop fan

. You've got good taste.... Why, only yesterday I was watching my Cowboy Bebop: Perfect Sessions DVD....

Oh yeah:
Me (a la Mal/Wash) "Good show."

How about Book as Yoda? "There is no try. Do, or do not."

And I'd love to see River recite the Litany of Fear (Dune) at some point ... perhaps at the annual running of the blue hands?

Oh! And there was an excellent line in one of the Cary Grant movies ... I can't for the life of me remember the title (and IMDB isn't jogging my memory, boo hoo!) ... it was the one where Grant was a former French Resistance member and the authorities are looking for him for some reason ... he keeps running off with the help of his best friend's daughter. There's a lovely scene where the daughter and Grant's new love interest both end up in the water swimming/treading water by the beach with Grant and are making catty comments to one another. The line is something like "Would you like to repeat that in shallower water?" ... I don't know where, I don't know why, but I could see Inara tossing off a line like that beautifully.

Cheers,
Annik

ok, imagine this at the beginning of Trash (a la Gone With the Wind)

Saffron: Mal, wherever shall i go? whatever shall i do?
Mal: frankly, my dear, i don't give a damn.

either that or at the showdown scene in Serenity where Mal and Zoe are walking to the meeting point (a la Pulp Fiction)

Mal: We should have gorram shotguns
Zoe: how many guys we got there?
Mal: three, possibly four
Zoe: that include Patience?
Mal: not Sure
Zoe: so you're saying we could have as many as five people waiting for us
Mal: possibly
Zoe: we should have gorram shotguns

heh. i silly

CYBERSNARK

Mal: I've got better things to do tonight than die! (Springer, Transformers the Movie.)

Wash: We have Reaver sign! (MST3K reference.)

*Jayne turns up in a suit*
Mal: He is well-dressed. (Angel, obviously.)

Mal: *beginning of an episode, telling off Inara about something* Don't kid yourself.
Inara: *end of an episode, directly at Mal* Don't kid yourself. (Kagome throwing InuYasha's own "self-deception" catchphrase back in his face.)

Wash: I won't run away. I won't run away. I won't run away. I won't run away. . . (Shinji, during his first Eva battle in Evangelion.)

Jayne: So once again. . . the day. . . is saved. . . (A Powerpuff Girls quote --it has to come from Jayne, for maximum humour.)

Jayne: *testing comlinks, as in Serenity* Can you hear me now? . . . Good. (The Sprint commersial, obviously.)

Wash: Big frikkin' hole. (A very obscure Andromeda line. As in "posted to a seldom-visited part of the official site" obscure.)

River: Pretty whack. (One of Joshua's many catchphrases on Dark Angel.)

Badger: Bip bip bip. (Same show, Normal's phrase.)

Zoe: *absently, to Simon, as the ship is doing a maneouvre in the atmosphere (about to break atmo* Doc, you might want to cover *deafening B-O-O-M* your ears. (A line on Navy NCIS a couple of weeks ago.)

Mal: {running onto the Bridge}
Punch it Chewie!
Or
Mal: "I stick my neck out for nobody"
And then of course he does, I just had a thought for an episode, at the end of Casablanca, the well-known resistance leader and his beautiful wife get on the plane. Well what if they got on Serenity instead?
The Cary Grant movie was "To catch a thief"
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

When faced with a moral question I ask myself; "What would The Lone Ranger do?"

Yes! MST3K! I was not expecting that, or InuYasha. Now, who would get to say "Sit, boy!" to whom?

That was spot-on perfet, exactly what I was hoping for. I wonder why it is that Pulp Fiction is coming up so much...

here's another couple that popped in my head at work. Imagine Mal and Jayne tossing the dead fed out of the door at the end of Serenity. Mal looks at Simon's shocked face and says...

Mal: No ticket

it's another Indiana Jones ref, i know. here's the last one. Mal is talking to Inara after the counselor leaves.

Mal: So what did you do?
Inara: We had sex.
Mal: Yeah, but not real sex.
Inara: I move to have that remark stricken from the record. On account of it makes you come off as completely naive and infantile.
Mal: Well where’s the penetration in lesbian sex?
(Inara holds up her hand.)
Mal: (beat; then he gets it) You’re kidding?!?!

yeah! the first Kevin Smith reference on this thread! no power in the verse can stop me!
