    Oh gosh that is sooo funny, I had to scroll down and type with the line out of view so I could actually type and not be in a total fit of hysterics! I'm wiping tears here! lol

      Probably been said but:

      Wash: I dont recall pulling over!
      Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

        Don't read this if you havn't seen the movie but I love the entire first part where you see serenity for the first time.
        Spoiler:
        *Big dramatic view of serenity, dramatic music then the hull plating suddenly flies off*
        Mal: What was that?
        Wash: Did you see that?
        Mal: Was that the primary buffer panal?
        Wash: it did seem to resemble.....
        Mal did the primary buffer panal just fall of my goram ship for good apparent reason?
        *Ship shudders*
        Wash: Looks like.
        Mal:I thought Kaylee just checked the entry couplings, i have a very clear memory.
        Wash: Yeah well if Kaylee doesn't give us extra power to offset the burn through, this landing's gonna be pretty interesting.
        Mal: Define interesting?
        Wash: Oh God oh God we're all gonna die.
        *Mal walks over to the intercom*
        Mal: This is the captain. We're experienceing some problems with our landing sequence so we may experience some slight turbulence and then....explode.


        Classic. But I really love the outtakes from serenity especially.....

        Spoiler:

        Mal: Get these bodies together. 5 or six of them but them up accross the hull of the ship. Put Sheppard Book front and centre, he's our friend we should honour him. Try and find that kid who plays in the dirt with baby Jesus we need a hood ornament. JAYNE! TRY NOT TO STEAL TOO MUCH OF THEIR S...!
        Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

              Ah Wash, a whole heap of the great lines came from him... "We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm a hero!"

                Gotta love all the Chinese lines...I've been trying to learn a few myself. I've already taken to telling my cat to "be zhway"when she's yowling at me to feed her.

                And I have have actually used some of the best stuff in conversations - like "I can kill you with my brain," and "Where there monkeys?"

                  Too many, too many. And they've all been listed.

                  So here it goes anyway:

                  I loved this whole exchange from Serenity

                  Kaylee: Goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' 'twix my nethers that t'wernt run on batteries.
                  Mal: Oh God! I can't know that!
                  Jayne: I could stand to hear a little more.

                  Or

                  Jayne: Are you sayin' she's a witch?
                  Wash: Yes, she's a witch, Jayne. She has had congress with the beast.
                  Jayne: She's in Congress?

                  And from the same episode:

                  Simon: I gotta go check on my assassin.

                  My favorite second River line:

                  Mal: Am I dreaming?
                  River: We all are.
                  Mal: (Rolls his eyes.)
                  River: Don't make faces.

                  My favorite River line:

                  River: My food is problematic.

                  And of course, the ultimate:

                  Jayne: I'll be in my bunk.

                    Mine is one of the famous Jayne phrases:

                    "Ten percent of nuthin' is...let me do the math here...nuthin' into nuthin'...carry the nuthin'..."

                    One of my fafourites.

                    But another of my favourites, while not one-liner... i used it quite a few times on forum signatures... funny one:

                    Mal: "If anyone gets nosy, just...you know... shoot 'em. "

                    Zoe: "Shoot 'em?"

                    Mal: "Politely."
                    Carson Beckett M. D.: How come I never make friends like that?
                    Dr. Rodney McKay: You need to get out more.
                    ...We're in another galaxy. How much more out can you get?

                        Wow! YAY! FF quote thread. Here's a few I enjoyed immensly... ETA: And I shall put them in a cut cos ZOMG!That's a LOT!!! Zoiks... I love this show too much methinkst.

                        Spoiler:
                        Mal: Use of a sw- what?

                        Jayne: I like smackin’ em.

                        Simon: It’s fun being forced to live on the ass-side of the galaxy.

                        Wash: You sure this is where you wanna be?
                        Mal: Oh, I’m fairly certain it isn’t.

                        Mal: I would do this for free.
                        Zoe: Then can I have your share?
                        Mal: No.
                        Zoe: If you die can I have your share?
                        Mal: Sure.

                        Mal: That’s a dumb planet.

                        Wash: I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinky.

                        Mal: But she was naked and all articulate.

                        Jayne: What do you two think you’re doing. Fightin’ at a time like this. You’re gonna use up all the air.

                        Mal: There could be torture. Whatever.

                        Kaylee: It figures. First time on the core and what do I get to do? Look through trash. He couldn’t send me shopping at Triplex... Ooh, synchronizers!

                        Mal: Pupils were fixed and dilapidated.

                        Mal: And despite our best efforts, they kicked.

                        Mal: I don’t have a keel to haul you on so...

                        Wash: Now I’m learning about scaring.

                        Wash: Screw you!
                        Mal: Get in line!

                        Niska's croonie: Yep. He’s dead.

                        Zoe: If it moves, shoot it.
                        Kaylee: Unless it's the Captain.
                        Zoe: Unless it's the Captain.

                        Wash: Oh my God, it’s grotesque! Oh, and there’s something in a jar.

                        Kaylee: Look, they got boy whores. Isn’t that thoughtful.

                        Jayne: She killed ‘em with mathematics.

                        And my all time fave: When you can’t run, you crawl. And when you can’t crawl... You find someone to carry you.

                            River: Noah's Ark is a problem.

                            River: They say the snow on the roof is too heavy. . . they say the ceiling will cave in. . . his brains are in terrible danger.
                            Book: River? Please, why don't you come on out?
                            River: No. Can't. Too much hair.
                            Book: Is that it?
                            Zoe: Hell yes, preacher.

                            Inara: . . .He thinks he's this hard-hearted criminal and he can be unrelenting. . . but there's this side to him that's so. . .

                            River: He looks better in red.
