If your captain is a decent sort, but he leaves you behind, he probably had a pretty compelling reason. He'll be back. Try not to get yourself set on fire while you're waiting.

If you can't fix it, bypass it. If you can't bypass it, you'd better have a spare.

Hitting someone with a closed fist can hurt, but it is, on occasion, hilarious.

Sometimes kissing can lead to unpleasantness.

Always have a plan B.

Don't get greedy. You could end up getting smacked upside the head with a wrench and maybe thrown out of an airlock.

Never underestimate the destructive powers of a stressed-out teenage girl.

If you're a married man, never praise another woman's cooking, unless you never want to have sex again.

No matter how carefully you plan, things almost never go smooth.

Never say 'no' to a man whose got you trussed up near an engine intake.

Ha ha!

Okay, lets see.

Cows are very neat and tidy creatures.

If Jayne can have a crappy town where he’s a hero, then so can I.

Alliance is no longer just a word for a fictional government, but a derogatory word for anyone not on my side.

Okay, here goes:

1. If someone tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back.

2. A Catalyzer is a nothing part until you don't got one.

3. Sniff the air; don't kiss the dirt.

4. When cows see sky they remember what they are.

5. Wheel never stops turning. That only matters to people on the rim.

6. What going mad feels like.

7. Live with a man forty years, share his house, his meals, speak on every subject, then tie him up and hold him over the volcano's edge and on that day you will finally meet the man.

8. A man learns all the details of a situation... Well, then he has a choice.

9. Never kiss 'em on the mouth.

And

10. Little Kaylee is always a man short.

STRINGSLINGER

If you need to know about crime and violence, just ask a preacher.

The payoff is NOT repeat NOT always the point.

If your ship doesn't have a keel, then improvise.

You can make a decent six string guitar body out of mud, but a hat, not so much.

You can live on prepackaged food indefinitely with a sufficient supply of dried rosemary.

You don't play a player.

When the doctor tells you that you should sit down, listen.

No matter how far from home you end up, you never outgrow playing with toy dinosaurs, ever.

Nothing gets between a woman and her strawberry. Nothing.

and finally...

Just because you are on the losing side doesn't mean that you're on the wrong one.

Keep flying.

Always cut your apples before biting them

Don't get drunk unless you're sure no one is planning a marriage

Remember what the doctors do because someday they'll be gone

Be quick to answer

If the captain doesn't want you along on the mission, it's probably best to stay behind

Never underestimate the ability of the mentally unstable

No matter what - stick with your crew - they're all you've got

Why don't you just take him to the volcano on Day 1? It'd save a lot of time.

Serenity is NOT le se.

Jayne looks better in red.

If you're still flyin', it's enough.

Zoe can kill with her pinky.

Never, ever, let Zoe sneak up behind you.

You probably don't want to meet "the real Mal". He's pretty pissed off.

God doesn't care how pretty you are, or if you have a chiseled chin.

Every man who ever had a statue made of him was some kind of sumbitch or another.

Hospital clerks really don't care what methods you used to try to bring 'em back.

Watch out for that chain of command.

Not having the proper registry number on the bow can get you a citation.

Offering to trade weapons for women results in your not being taken seriously.

When the heat is on, keep things in Captain Dummy-talk.

Sometimes you understand how a thing works, but not why it's there.

It's fine to be morbid and creepifying as long as you don't scare the cattle.

There's no sound in space. Okay, I already knew that one, but there hasn't been a TV show or movie that I can recall where the spaceships didn't go 'whoosh'. Except for 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Thrilling heroics apparently includes some kind of theft.

Fighting uses up air.

Beagles have smallish droppings.

Robbing a train is as easy as lying.

Shipboard romances tend to complicate things.

When a man engages in clandestine dealings, he likes things to go smooth.

The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vacuuming systems.

Wash and Zoe are very private people. Except for Wash.

It's good to have cargo.

Any job worth doing, is worth doing for free if it makes an adversary look all manner of stupid.

Dead horses make cover; Live horses make a heap of confusion.

Never hold someone hostage when the person you are
trying to coerce is a sure shot.

Never abondon your crew. Never.

Don't trust big government, no matter how innocuous it seems.

When someone is trying to make a rational deal with you, don't get proud and blustery. He may end up kicking your a** into a turbine.

Ten things I've learned from Firefly

1) You can always pray. You don't have to tell, I never do.

2) If I talk at the theater I will go to a special level of hell

3) I'll be in my bunk

4) There is some sort of hot cheese over there!

5) You don't need to be snappy. Even if you are about to jump on to a moving train

6) Shiny is a cooler word than cool

7)If you get dressed up Jayne will take you out

8)You can't change that by gettin' all bendy

9) I need to learn how to swear in Manderin Chinesse

10) Mal is bad... in the latin. But only in the latin

Ten things I learned from watching Firefly.

1) A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned.

2) The first rule of battle is "Don't let the enemy know where you are."

3) Of course, there are other schools of thought.

4) Kaylee is pretty... pretty

5) This is somethin the captain's gotta do for himself.

6) No, no it's not!

7) That there; exactly the kinda diversion we coulda used

8) If we're Alliance, we shoot first. Brass can sort it out later.

9) A ship will bring you work, a gun will help you keep it.

10) Oh, my god! What could it BE! We're all doomed! WHO'S FLYING THIS THING! Oh, right, that would be me. Back to work...

By changing the words a bit, you can sing a song about yourself in the 1st person. "The man they call ME!"

It takes less than a pound of pressure to break the skin.

Even if you only want a quiet drink, folk are always a might tetchy in Alliance-friendly bars on U-day.

It just ain't civilized to let a bunch of vultures profit from stolen cargo, even if they did just save your gorram life.

Marital problems = free soup for passersby.

HIGHIRON02

This is my first posting to this site so here goes.

1. Being captain is tough. People are always trying to punch, kick, stab, shoot, and torture you. What a cool job!
2. If I knew that I was going to that special hell, and my choice was to a). talk in the theatre; or b). take advantage of a young woman... well...
3. When the music gets low and the drums start beating, it's the Reavers, unless it ain't.
4. When the engines are making weird noises and the lights blink... duck!
5. Wash is always flying this thing.
6. The Blue Hand Group ARE the bad guys.
7. a). Cows do not have smallish droppings.
b). When in the vacinity of cows, wear different shoes.
c). Cows are not cows inside of spaceships.
8. If you are afraid of hanging around with hooligans and not breathing, make up for it with a gunfight.
9. If you read people's minds and tell them what they are thinking, they will set you on fire.
10. Niska doesn't like being held over the volcano.

1) Always close the hatch when there's a fire on board.

2) When you investigate an odd sound in a dark stairwell, don't lead with your chin.

3) Homilies could be very important.

4) Trying to evade the authorities by flying through twisty and dangerous only works if the ship you're trying to evade follows you.

5) You don't wanna go there with me, boy.

6) Stabbing a fallen enemy can be funny.

1) It takes a badass man to look tough wearing a cotton dress.

2) Better folk kill people, lesser folk just stab em a couple times and humilate em.

3) When your engineer tells you "we need a new one" for weeks, might be a good idea to listen to her.

4) Mentally unstable people, who are on YOUR side, should be armed.

5) A fancy hat will get you pretty far.

6) Fresh fruit makes a GREAT bribe when it comes to down and out spaceship crews.

7) Talking smack to someone with a gun in your face is terminally stupid.

8) A spaceship is NOT a democracy.

9) A firefly's engine makes a right handy still, if you know how.

10) Fox executives ARE the blue hand guys.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

If someone offers to give you your money back and asks you to forget the whole thing, make sure you're not kneeling near a huge engine before you boldly state that you'll hunt him down and kill him.

Long cotton dresses have good air flow.

There are some really good bibles out there.

And some pretty good myths.

Some girls get really turned on by big engines.

Sometimes a man does something, realizes it wasn't right and has no choice but to fix it.

Put the call back switch closer to the part that has to be repaired.

Don't offer your wife to the Captain, he might feel obliged to take her into his bunk.

If it works out it was all part of the plan.

Firefly is a good design.

OK here's my "shiny" donations

It’s good to have cargo

Eating an ice-planet is problematic for a mind-reading genius.

If your sister is a ship, you probably had a complicated childhood.

Contemplating the wonders of your rock garden is just sitting.

The companion dating policy is complicated.

The day the money is good enough will be an interesting day.

If you hold prisoners for the Blue Hand guys and like your blood in your body don’t talk to them.

Getting pinched is what happens when you call the feds.

If the planet is coming up a might bit fast, your probably going down to quick.

If you select someone’s proposal than the honor you do them flatters their honor.

When you start drinking, and a girl gives you a pretty hat made out of a tree and starts to dance with you, you are signing up to have & to hold.

and when that same girl who has nice qualities tries to seduce you, your pilot & your companion, then sabotages your ship, and leaves you & your crew at the hands of those who would kill them even though she didn’t and she made you dinner, remember marriage is hard work & you shouldn’t give up.

Here we go:

1) Drop some money to save your ass, you get a town. Save someone's live, you get a hamster.

2) Hamsters is nice.

3) Mercy is the mark of a great man.

4) They don't like it when you shoot at them. Figured that one out myself.

5) Somewhere out there, there's a bullet with your name one it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

6) Exercise, Prayer, sleeping on coffins: Everyone copes with death in different ways.

7) When you're in space, measuring time by the orbit of a planet that no longer exists doesn't make sense. It's also a good excuse not to get someone a birthday present.

8) If at first you don't succeed, kick the first guy into a jet engine, go on the the next guy, and try again.

9) "Don't" is just a short way of saying, "Manly and implusive."

10) Smuggling stuff in corpses is a time-honored, repulsive custom.

5) Learn the steps, learn the beat, then make up your own. (Safe; when River is dancing.)

6) Serenity, and her crew, are NOT go-se.

7) When you can't walk, you crawl, and when you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you.

JAYNE'SJOJO

I'm going to modify and say "Top 10 Things I learned watching unaired episodes of Firefly":

10.Sure, some boys may not always say the right things but they sure beat boys that hold a gun to your head. (And gets blood all over your nice white shirt).

9.On that note, If a boy's "Date" includes taking you to see proof of alien life and, while enclosed in a dark room alone with you, he actually concentrates on that "alien" life...odds are he's going to screw up the whole compliment thing. These are the kind of boys worth keeping...patience will be required.

8.All I have to do to get straddled by a good looking captain-tight-pants while naked is fake my own death and ship myself to him in a coffin.

7.NEVER, and I mean NEVER shoot at a woman's husband...especially if that woman can kill a man with her pinky.
(For that matter, NEVER EVER try to take a woman's baby, either.)

6.Being open minded about participating in crime can often lead to standing next to a naked captain-tight-pants. This is a good thing.

5.Jayne, despite earlier annoucements to the contrary, DOES kiss em' on the mouth. This is also a good thing.

4.Captains with tight-pants rarely feel girly or dirty. Especially when they are about to make a possible last stand.

3.Hover craft, schmuther craft...nothing is faster than a good piece of horse flesh. For that matter, sure, a lasers shiny, but the battery has to run out eventually.

2.Always lock the door to your spaceship.

1.Rice wine and guns are the perfect tools for seducing a captain-tight-pants.

AND FINALLY:

The main thing I learned from watching the unaired episodes of Firefly is that I want more Firefly. :(

Never whine about how crappy the souvenirs are if you want to get anywhere with that cute mechanic.

When redeeming a torture victim from your hated enemy, make sure you aren't paying too much.

If you pay your laborers next to nothing, you can pass the savings on to the customer.

Doctors can't shoot worth anything.

If the word "testicle" comes up in a conversation, always be very careful about what is said immediately thereafter.

"Yo-Saff-Bridge" is Chinese.

Companions are NOT whores. Those who flunk out of the Guild of Companions ARE. (Corollary: The Guild of Companions must NOT be referred to as "Whore Academy")

Mary Mother of God had numerous wacky nephews.

Whose colors is God flying?

Don't move the conversation in a "Jayne's fault" direction...

...or a "let's dump River and Simon on some border planet" direction, for that matter.

If you're picking up a weird heat bounce off your wake, it's not an engine flux: it's a bounty hunter who's not a bounty hunter.

Preachers have smutty minds (probably because they're not really preachers).

Elephants have explosive diarrhea.

No matter what your profession, you most assuredly have funnier stories to tell than Simon.

Firefly is set in the same universe as Starship Troopers.

Here's a few from me:

10. Never mess with a man in a pretty floral bonnet.

9. Dont pick up strange survivors. You never know where they've been.

8. If someone tears up your symbol, they arent bad, they just dont understand.

7. It helps to be a good man....well, an alright one.

6. Take the slaver's money, then hit him with the space pool cue. The getaway is faster that way.

5. Watch out for monkeys. Dangerous space ones can wreck an engine room.

4. If you're going to try to screw people for money, dont be surprised if you wind up locked in a trash bin while the cops bear down on you.

3. Everytime the crazy psychic lady says there's trouble, it might be time to actually leave. Ariel, Bushwhacked, Out of Gas.....

2. Getting tortured by a madman? Not a really great way to bond. Effective way- yes, but not a good way.

1. Getting a stupid stick that makes a sound like it's raining can sometimes be better than getting married.

And the bonus- There's nothing more deceiving than a low-down dirty deceiver. Because pain is scary.

- There's no power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerfull.

- You cant be sure its a buffet table unless you question it.

- The Fox Execs IQ's add up to... let me do the math here...nothin' and a nothin', carry the nothin'...

- Big Government types like to wear hats.

- Mal's not a monster

- You cant fix faith, it fixes you.

- Serenity is NOT a piece of go-se.

- Jayne is heavy.

- During a hostage situation, dont negotiate, shoot them in the face.

- When you cant run, you crawl; and when you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you.

Never let a man devoted to saving lives back you up in a gunfight.

However, do give his psychotic little sister a pistol in said gunfight.

Never turn someone in unless you are absolutely ceratin beyond the shadow of a doubt, you will not reconsider.

Make friends with an academy trained prostitute. Sure, you will never bed her, but at least you can get your hair done.

Name your gun.

Never trust someone that's shot you before.

Avoid all old men in suits with accents. It just never works out.

If you are not good with talking to women, let her do all the talking. When you speak, even when you're trying to be nice, you say something wrong almost every time.

Shepherds get access to all the good med facilities. Don't ask me how, they just do.

Remember. The captain is right. Anything to contradict that usually leaves the ship, on the ground or in space. Then the captain is still right.

You don't have to pull your gun first. Just faster.

It's better to be a live weasel than a dead lion... better still to be a live lion, and usually easier.

Ok,I'm definitely not new to the show, but I'm new to the site. So here are a few things I've learned(insert normal 'hope these aren't repeats' disclaimer)-- hope ya like em!

Naked and articulate can be a lethal combination.

The captain is still the captain even if he's nekkid.

Engine grease makes some girls prettier.

Even a big, tough,somewhat amoral man who names his gun has a mommie who loves him and sends him mail.

When visiting an unfamiliar, rural planet, research the marriage customs.

Hair can be scary.

Someone who looks dead isn't always.

Even a skinny guy who wears Hawaiian shirts can marry a beautiful warrior woman, if he's decent and funny.

If you're bein' mouthy,the doctor may drug you to get you out of the way. And no-one else is going to complain.

Four years in box can make a man a mite tetchy.

Just cause your sister's crazy doesn't mean she's never a brat.

Part 2: Just cause your sister's crazy doesn't mean she doesn't know what she's talking about.

GUNRUNNER

1) The locals don't know that transport ships don't have no guns on it.

2) If you aim for his head while doped-up you will hit his leg.

3) Don't let a crazy girl play with a gun, it may have hull-piercing bullets.

4) The 8:00 PM Time Slot on Fridays kills a show.

5) The Premier episode is to be aired first.

I just thought of some more:

~people always look bigger when you cant see them

~there is a difference between understanding and comprehending

Two replies to things I learned from Saffron:

Wow...good bible.

Wow...good myth.

I have a true stiry. A friend's of mine's brother has hair bigger than Book's, and he never ties it back. It stays up, too. Now that, my friends, is scary hair.

If you come across the remains of a Reaver slaughter, look out for booby traps.

Always pay attention to what the crazy girl says.

Little men love fire.

Some teachers are very stupid.

Don't brand the cow, brand the buyer, he's the one who is likely to stray.

Sometimes girls who seem meek, really ain't.

Saying "gorram it!" is fun.

--------------------------------
It's sickening how comforting the privacy of the mind can be.

watch out for that chain of command

games don't always need rules to be fun

the fox excecs are "good dogs" in my mind (ahem)

people love those dolls with goo goo heads

perhaps it's best not to have you insides scooped out, and replaced with fake insides

it doesn't mater where your going, as long as you like the ship

when local color is shown, you might want to add to it by making eyes purple and blue.

"Oh my god it's grotesqe! and here's a thing in a jar."
