From reading all the great quotes it's clear that the entire series and the movie were filled with enough great lines that a thousand other shows and films wish they had in them.

But there's one line no one's mentioned and I "discovered" it after watching the Train Job for the umpteenth time a few months back. When Mal backs up to the edge of the canyon, then looks back at the gathering crowd of baddies and says:

"There's just an acre of you fellas isn't there?"

I just howled, it was so Mal-ish and offbeat. I use this line all the time now whenever there's a grip of folks before me for one reason or another.

so many good ones:

River: "Also. I can kill you with my brain."

Zoë: "Captain'll come up with a plan. "
Kaylee: "Well, that's good... right? "
Zoë: "Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans. "

(also: the quotes section on IMDB is nearly GONE!!!! So many valuable lines....)

River: "I swallowed a bug"

Mal: "Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint. "

Mal: "If you're still standing there when that engine starts, you never will figure it out. "

Oh and:

"Fruity Oaty Bars! Make a man out of a mouse! Fruity Oaty Bars! Make you bust out of your blouse! Eat them all the time! Let them blow your mind... ohh! Fruity Oaty Bars! "

MWHAHAHAH!!!!!!

Jayne: Aw hell Lawrence, they don't know a damn thing. I was hoping to get an ear too.

Mal: I'm not going to start any swordfights, I am over that phase

Simon: Could you not do that when we're . . . ever!?

Mal: So . . . would his job be open?

Mal: This is the captain, we're experiencing some minor difficulties with ou entry sequence, so we may experience some turbulence and then . . . explode.

Jayne: What you plan and what take place ain't ever exactly been similar.

Niska: You died Mr. Reynolds.
Mal: Seemed the appropriate thing to do.

Wash: Didn't she shoot you?
Mal: Everybody's makin' a fuss.

Mal: Bwah.

Two quotes from Mal, different episodes but same idea:

(I don't remember which episode)
"They say never hit a man with a closed fist, but sometimes it's hilarious."

(In Shindig, after he's poked the guy with his sword and been told that he "didn't have to wound that man")
"I know, it's just really funny."

here's some more:

Jayne: Only if his attention's elsewhere.
We need a diversion. I say Zoe gets
nekkid.

Wash: Nope.

Jayne: I could get nekkid.

Wash: NO!

and from the bloopers:

start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 year old... man, with man boobs, aw man.

I loved Wash's line in War Stories:

Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired… from a… fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I also liked from the gag reel on the BGM:

Mal: Did you see us fight?

Kaylee: No

I'm surprised no one's said one of my favorites from "Our Mrs. Reynolds."

Book: Wash was beaten and Inara found you
here.
Inara: And then I fell. My head got hurt
like Wash.
Mal: I don't get any of this.
Inara: I only fell is all.

I'm sure if anyone's said this but from "Serenity"-
(Simon to River)
It's okay to leave them to die.

And one more for the road--though I can't remember when it was said or the exact line, this is the basic meaning.
(Wash to Jayne)
Serioulsy, how did your brain even manage to learn human speech?

One of my favorites is from "Bushwhacked" when Jayne suprises and shoots injuring the only survivor of the Reavers' attack and the crew catches up with him. When Simon remarks that the frightened victim is a real beast to which Jayne replies:
"Looked bigger when I couldn't see him".
If you think about it it makes no sense (if you couldn't see them how would they look.....) but it does in Jayne's hyper-trigger sensibility.
I have other favorites, but most have been listed here.....

Doesnt seem very impressive but let me put it in context 4 ya.

With a slashed jugular spraying blood at a rate similar to a thumb over the end of a hose, it takes 2 mins to loose enough blood to kill you. Thats just to kill you, not to loose all your blood. Quick aint it



Actually, if you used a transverse cut across both carotid arteries, you'd bleed to death in approx 12 seconds, and be unconscious in 4.

Favorite lines from the movie

Mal - Defin dificult?

Wash - Oh God oh God we're all going to die.

Mal - This is your captain speaking. We are experiencing some technical difficulties and will experience some turbulence... and then explode.


Then later when Simon and river got off the boat:

Kaylee - I ain't got nothin' twixin' between my nethers that don't run on batteries.

Mal - I don't need to be hear that!

Jayne - I could stand to hear some more.

And there is too much from the series that I want to quote but one of my favorites.

in OIS:

River as Serenity to the captain - Don't make faces!

Space... It's so wonderful!

There's so many good ones. Today I watched Shindig and the quote that stood out was Mal saying, "While this... the lie of it... that man parading you on his arm as if he actually won you, as if he loves you, and everyone going along with it. How can that not bother you?" Just the way Mal says, "as if he loves you" really got to me.

Yeah, okay most of the best ones, imho, have been said already, baby Jesus, fry cook opportunity, 'this is something the captain has to do for himself', jinkies I love this show. Anyway, I love Jubal Early, and as I reckon he's got to come back some day, I'll keep hope alive and answer with this quote from him, which I'm almost positive is wrong:

Simon: "Are you Alliance?"
Early: "Am I a Lion? I don't know if you'd call me a lion, although I do have a mighty roar."

That's just so random and awesome, I don't know what to do. I know Joss wouldn't have killed off an awesome character like that in only his first apperance. He's bound to make a triumphant comeback. Maybe the HyperProbability Drive zapped in and saved him just in the nick of time.

Oh, quotes are legion - and since I gave back the DVDs from whence I borrowed them, I dont have them exactly -

"Also, I can kill you with my brain"
"Ten percent of nothing, is...wait, lemme do the math"
"They're whores.
I'm in."
"He was my nephew, I will hear about it at the dinner table tonight"
"Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose? "
"You killed yourself. I just carried the bullet a while."


but my two favorites - Both Wash quotes:

"Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it..."This Land". "

"Psychic,though? It sounds like something out of science fiction.
Honey, we live in a spaceship.
So?"

My favorite quote(s)? Well gee. All of them. Anything that is easy to quote. That is mostly everything. My specific favorites include anything that Wash says. And River, and Mal... ok ok.

Here's some:

Book: You don't fix faith. Faith fixes you.

Dude at ball: I cannot abide useless people.

Mal: They say never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is, on occasion, hilarious.

Mal: We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

Jayne (Book): If you can't do something smart, do something right.

Mal: There could be tears.

Wash: Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die.

Wash: Here's something you can't do.

Wash (Stego): Curse your sudden, but inevitable betrayal!
Wash (T-Rex): Ahaha! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!

Mal: I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.

Jayne: Time for some thrilling heroics.

Wash: Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?

Wash: Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

Kaylee: Yessir, Cap'n tightpants.

River: Just keep walkin' preacher-man.

River: Too much snow and the roof will collapse. His brains are in terrible danger.

Simon: Yeah, a real beast. It's a wonder you're still alive.
Jayne: Looked bigger when I couldn't see 'im.

Anyhow, as you can see, I'm serious when I say 'all of them.' This is just from the top of my head at this moment.

My favorite quote is my signature quote. I love when Mal says this in the BDM.

He's talkin' to Zoe, just after they've pushed the crates to block the door to keep the Reavers out. They exchange words, he wants to know if she's there.. right there with him....then he hands her the rifle and then he says....

"You hold. Hold 'til I get back."

I took that quote to heart after the BDM. That's what I'm doin'. Holdin' til Mal gets back.



"You hold. Hold 'til I get back." Mal

There are a lot of quotes that are great. Here is a couple that come to mind.

"Yeah, but she's our witch, so cut her the hell down."-SAFE

Something like this...
Zoe "This is something the Captain has to do on his own."
Mal "No I don't" WAR STORIES

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one." BUSHWHACKED

There are just so many good ones. How does one pick?

I can't begin to pick just ONE favorite, since Firefly is so very quotable, but see my tag line for one of my all-time faves.

Also, you can always rely on Jayne for a good one:

"Smells like crotch"..."Well, it does."

"What didya all go and order a dead guy for?"

The pilot episode, just after a particularly ugly exchange between Mal and Jayne

SIMON: I was just wondering what his job is. On the ship.

A beat.

MAL: Public relations.


Never fails to crack me up.

Awww. Geez. My favorite quote? Hmm... So many...

Quite possible: "Were there monkeys? Some terrifyin' space monkeys maybe got loose?"

I want a terrifying space monkeeeeey.

When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't do that you sit still and watch episodes of Firefly.

I could have sworn I saw a comment about the quotes disappearing from IMDb, but I can't find it right now. Anyway, they didn't disappear--they're just broken out into the different episodes they are from. IMDb changed format a while ago and now has the shows broken out into seasons, and under the seasons, the eps from the season. Not as convenient as far as the quotes go, but at least they are still there.

Favorite quote? Hmmm...as many have said, hard to pick just one. I'll go with Book's "special hell" quote, for now.

Hey, I just found another favorite. You hardcore Browncoats will recognize it...


"...and we never, ever make mistakes....How do you turn this fu@#ing thing off?"

"Damn it, Mal... I forgot my line."

There are so many, it's really difficult to choose. So I'll just pick a few at random:

Mal: If your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.

Mal: My days of taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

River: Your bible's broken. It doesn't make sense.

River: It's just an object. It isn't what you think.

River: It tells you not to be afraid. But you are afraid. You're afraid that we're going to run out of air. That we'll die gasping. But we won't. We'll freeze to death first

Kaylee: How can we be sure unless we question it?

Wash: I've been in a firefight. I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity.

Badger (looking up at Mal): I'm above you!

Aaaarg, too many too many good quotes - and I keep doing them in public!

This isn't my fave, but I do like it an awful lot. In Serenity, when Mr Universe says,looking at River on the security feed (and I'm sure i'm getting this slightly wrong):
"You always bring me the very best violence."

One of my faves, and SO easy to use on a daily basis:

Jayne: "You are seriously damaging my calm!"

I know there's more to that line, but that's the gist of it.

And yeah, the dialogue in Firefly and Serenity is remarkable. To all the writers who made Firefly and Serenity a reality, I hope you don't mind if I use it as a textbook of sorts.

Just thought of this one when I was rambling in another thread.

First episode.

Jayne smiling away. "Let's moon em."

And you see Serenity's engine fire up for the first time.

Yeah, that's one of my favorite scenes...even though it was deleted... But my favorite part in that one is Rivers line:
"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"

I just watched Shindig again and while the episode itself is just ok, there are sooooooo many good quotables in it. My fave has got to be:

Guy: You know, you didn't have to wound that man.
Mal: Yeah I know, it was just funny.

Lost dog- yup that would be one of my favorites too... I think that scene so perfectly encapsulates both Mal and Zoe as well as the love between Simon and River.
It's one I'm having set on a tee shirt
Oh I should actually reference the quote
" yeah, but she's our witch so cut her the hell down."

Okay a couple of my favorite qoutes, but forgive me if I don't get them exact and I am not sure of the titles of the shows:

Mal: Zoe, you lack imagination.
Zoe: I imagine I do sir.

From Serenity:
"I'm a leaf in the wind." (That is for those of us that will mourn Wash!)

River- 'My food is problematic'

Wash- 'When people see a man walking down a street with a hat like that, they know he's not afraid of anything'

Simon- 'Everyone on our ship is either married, professional or related to me, so you're the only choice'

River- 'You are such a boob'

Mal- 'Kaylee's dead.' )Flash to the Mal, Jayne, Zoe and Wash up on deck) Mal- 'I am a bad man'

Mal- 'I don't think there's anything in the verse that could stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just want to tape up her mouth and put her in the hold for a month'

Kaylee- 'I love my captain'

And in Serenity, I like the pre-recorded message that they get out, and how you can see River mirroring it.

Mal gives control of the ship to Zoe...
Mal: If I'm not back in an hour, you come, and you rescue me.
Zoe: What? And risk my ship?

Has to be this one:
SIMON

MAL
I had a good day.

SIMON
You had the law on you, criminals and
savages... half the people on the
ship have been shot or wounded
including yourself, and you're
harboring known fugitives.

MAL
We're still flying.

SIMON
That's not much.

MAL
It's enough.

It just sums up everything.

aaaaw,tears are all but aflowing with the memories awoken here,thats what this is,not the quotes as such,we instantly remember the next scene and it links us as a whole to our memory of firefly/serenity, were all a little like river in that this page is just full of triggers,that set us off on our journey once more back home onboard the boat,and lets not forget that a fair few of us have quotes in our sig.boxes.. but personally id like to quote the 'Grrrr,Aaaargh' zombie cutout at the end cause no-ones mentioned him yet and he was in every episode...

oh,and Zoe after Mal and Wash's rescue....take me sir,take me hard..............
