    Favorite Serenity / Firefly one-liners

    Love those Firefly one-liners! My favorite is, "I can kill you with my brain."

    What's yours?

    Heh, I've always liked "GRRRR! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" Along with that whole bit..

    Sheppard: "Y’know, we’ve been having these conversations for a couple of weeks now, and I don’t even know your name. You guys do have names, right? Let me guess...Steve?"
    Wraith: "I am your death. That is all you need to know."
    Sheppard: "I prefer Steve."

      A rather obscure line from 'The Message', in which the Fed is talking to a mail clerk about the whereabouts of a dead body...

      Fed - "Malcom Reynolds... hmmm, where do you suppose he's off to?"
      Clerk - "He... uh... he captains a Firefly, you should be able to catch him if you leave now..."
      Fed - "...Are you telling me to leave?"
      Clerk - "Wha- ...no, no I didn't do tha-..."
      Fed - *Laughs* Relax! You've been great! And I was just bluffing about that stuff about 'arresting' you, I mean who needs that kind of paper work, Skunk light him on fire."

      ...Well, that and my personal favorite Kaylee line:

      Kaylee - "ain't nothin' touched my nethers for a year that weren't battery run"

      Jayne - Ain't logical. Cuttin' on his own face, rapin' and murdering - Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman, or if I'm gettin' paid - mostly only when I'm gettin' paid. But these Reavers... last ten years they show up like the bogeyman from stories. Eating people alive? Where's that get fun?
      Kaylee - Shepherd Book said they was men who just reached the edge of space, saw a vasty nothingness, and went bibbledy over it.
      Jayne - Oh, hell, i've been to the edge. Just looked like... more space.

        Along with that I like the line, "We will call this land....this land." LOL! I love Wash...

              Well, you called my favourite line, but the second and third are Jayne's:
              • "I'll be in my bunk."

              • "Dear diary: Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy... Today we were kidnapped
                by hill folk, never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."


              And then by Early:
              • "No, that's not it at all... I'm a bounty hunter."

                  Too difficult to pick just one when practically everything is quotable.

                  Mal: “Someone tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back.” (Our Mrs. Reynolds)

                  Serenity
                  Spoiler:
                  “Dear Buddha, I would like a pony and a plastic rocket.”



                  Practically everything Jayne says…. though "What ya'll order a dead guy for?" is classic.

                  I didn’t catch this one until I saw Serenity the second time
                  Spoiler:
                  My muscular buttocks it's forty! (when they’re arguing with Fanty and Mingo about their cut)



                  Book: “If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell, a level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theatre.” (Our Mrs. Reynolds)

                  Simon: (to Jayne) “My God, you're like a trained ape! Without the training.” (Jaynestown)

                  “This must be what going mad feels like.” (Jaynestown when he can’t get over the fact that Jayne has a statue….and then later a song. I love his facial expression when he sees the statue.)

                  IMO always implied.

                    I just remembered these!

                    Mal - "Mercy is the mark of a great man"
                    *stab*
                    Mal - "Ok, maybe I'm just a good man"
                    *stab*
                    Mal - "Well, I'm alright"

                    and

                    Warrick - "You didn't have to wound that man"
                    Mal - "I know, it was just, funny"

                    Sheppard: "Y’know, we’ve been having these conversations for a couple of weeks now, and I don’t even know your name. You guys do have names, right? Let me guess...Steve?"
                    Wraith: "I am your death. That is all you need to know."
                    Sheppard: "I prefer Steve."

                      It's so hard to pick, because the series and movie were both so well written. one of my favourites though would have to be from River: "I swallowed a bug".
                      The look on her face! Classic!

                        This is like trying to pick something from The Princess Bride...

                        "Lady, you are my kind of stupid." (Heart of Gold)

                        "I am semi-muscular man. I can handle it." (War Stories)

                        "This is something that the Captain has to handle on his own."
                        "No, it isn't." (War Stories)

                        "Any friend of Inara's is a business-like acquaintance of mine" (Heart of Gold)

                        "I think they captured his essence"
                        "He looks kinda angry"
                        "That's what I mean" (Jaynestown)

                        "I'd forgotten - you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now."
                        "Yes; I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist."
                        (War Stories)

                        "My food is problematic" (The Message)
                        sigpic
                        "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"

                          Ahhhh so many great lines...

                          Jayne: Do you know what the chain of command is here? It's the chain I go get and beat you with to show you who's in command.

                          Mal: The wheel never stops turning, Badger.
                          Badger: Only matters to the people on the rim.

                          Mal: I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse that'll stop Kaylee from being so cheerful. Sometimes you just want to duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

                          Wash: Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower. Somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross.

                          JANICE: Dr. Bob, you've given this hospital a bad name.
                          DR BOB: You're right. Fred is a terrible name for a hospital. I'll give it a better name. How 'bout Eunice?

                            Cute! I swear, River gets all the best lines! She's good -- not my favourite character, but I don't think I can pick a favourite Firefly character! They're all too well written and well acted!

                              Theres just show many, I liked the bit in the trailer for Serenity.

                              Mal "You wanna run this ship?"
                              Jayne "Yes."
                              Mal "well...you can't." The cinema burst out laughing at that.

                              I also liked "I swallowed a bug" from the film. Jayne has some of the best lines, the "I'm be in my bunk," lines are funny and so is "What ya'll order a dead guy for...."

                              Think I'll go watch some FF actually.
