Firefly has the funniest script so I decided to write some of it up. Feel free to contribute

"I swear by my pretty flower bonnet I will end you" (Mal)

Kaylee: "Is that him?"
Mal: "That's the buffe table"
Kaylee: "But how can we be sure unless we question it?" (Kaylee and Mal in 'Shindig')


"Dear Diary, Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy... Today we were kidnapped by hillfolk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever!" (Jayne reading Simon's diary)

The Jayne Song
Jayne, the man they call Jayne
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
He stood up to the man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now
May be hard to explain
For the hero of Cayneton
The man they call Jayne

I have so many. (I think a lot of people here probably do) Off the top of my head, I love it when Wash says "We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!" in Jaynestown. Cracks me up every time.

Tell me! I am a large, semi-muscular man; I can take it.

Wash is always so funny I like it when he says to Kaylee

Wash: "Were I unwed I would take you in a manly fashion"
Kaylee: "'Cause I'm pretty?"
Wash: "Cause your pretty"

Just about every line in the series is quotable.
Some of my favorite are:

"Every well bred petty criminal knows that the small concealable weapon goes to the left of the place setting." Innara Heart of Gold.

"Something about him bothers me." Zoe Out of Gas

"Don't tell them what I did" Jayne Ariel.

This stick in my head because they are the most recent episodes that I have rewatched.

Mal: "This is over, you and me are gonna have a personal chat."
Simon: "Won't that be fun. Dope her."

Mal: "Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folks is near miraculous."
Simon: "Yes, I'm very proud."

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

Simon: "This may come as a shock, but I'm actually not very good at talking to girls."
Zoe: "Why, is there someone you are good at talking to?"

I could go, but I won't, there's just too gorram many!

"I love my captain."

Anything that comes out of Wash's mouth is a favorite of mine. There are so many others, but to quote a few:

"My sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood." - Simon, Objects in Space

"But she was naked and all...articulate!" Mal, Our Mrs. Reynolds

Oh, and Simon's speech from Serenity where he first tells the crew about River and the Academy. I don't know why, I just love that part



"We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."

ZOE: "Preacher, don’t the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?"
BOOK: "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps..."
