Everyone's heard of this: the thing were people changed lines of dialogue from the Star Wars movies to use or include the word pants for maximum comedic effect.

So I had the idea of doing the same for Firefly dialogue, and Serenity dialogue too, for that matter. Non-spoiler Serenity dialogue, obviously, limited to the trailers to begin with, I'd say.

Anyways, I stuck a few in the taglog here, and others added their own ideas. Wackiness ensued.



So now, here's the thread for it. To record the funniest 'pants' quotes we can muster for posterity.

Here's a few from the taglog right now:


SAFFRON "Have you heard the myth of Earth That Was? At first she had no pants..."

MAL "Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches pants, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you."

Or... "I swear by my pretty floral pants I will end you."

SAFFRON "If you're done with supper... would you like me to wash your pants?"

INARA "What did I say to you about barging into my pants?"
MAL "That it was manly and impulsive?"
INARA "Yes, precisely. Only the exact phrase I used was 'don't'."

JAYNE "They are my very favourite pants."

BOOK "Oh, I've got pants aplenty, right here."

KAYLEE "I like to meet new people. They've all got pants..."

WASH "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable pants!"


And the classic:

RIVER "Two by two... pants of blue..."


Feel free to add your own!



"My God - you're like a trained ape. Without the training."
"Come a day there won't be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all..."
I know the secret.

Well, two more River classics...

"No pants in the verse can stop me"

And

"Also, I can kill you with my pants."



PsychicRiver

"Two by two, hands of blue."
"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"
"I swallowed a bug."

Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."

Me -

Wash: "Mmm...wife pants..."

[Bad paraphrase due to faulty memory]:
Crull: "It doesn't matter where you hide or how far you fly; I will hunt you down. And the last thing you will see will be my pants."
