I've been obsessed with Objects in Space since I got my DVDs so I've grown fair attached to these.


Jubal Early: You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport, yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

RIVER
It's okay, Early. I'm going with you. Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets. I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

A couple Simon reaction lines cut out but they aren't necessary to the appreciation of the speech.





"I was gonna get me an ear, too." - Jayne

i liked "don't look in the closet, it's greedy!", also, "i do a job and then i get paid!", "still walkin' and talkin'!", "you turn on a member of my crew and you turn on me!". can't seem to get "two by two, hands of blue" out of my head and "he looks better in red!"

y'all have a merry x-mas!

If I ever do decide to kill you, you will be awake, you will be facing me, and you will be armed.

So many to choose from, or to even remember! But, since I just got done watching "War Stories", there is one that definitely stands out in my mind as one of the funniest lines in the show.

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.

Now that's my kind of preacher!

(I'm at work, people! So they're paraprashed)

10. Wash: Goslings...They were juggled

9. Cap: Was it monkeys? Space monkeys?

8. Cap: They're Whores. Jayne: I'm in.

7. Wash: When can we go to the crappy planet where I'm a hero?

6. Book: The SPECIAL hell (GREAT delivery)

5. Cap: Jayne I'm not feeling particularily girly or dirty

4. Jayne: I'd make you prettier if I could

3. Wash: It's grotesque. Oh, there's a jar, too!

2. Cap: How drunk was I last night?

1. Zoe: Take me sir, take me hard. Jayne: That's all kinds of disturbing (Sorry, don't know exact)

Hey, my first post, can't keep quiet about writing this good.
Good enough that 13 episodes establish someone as a mythic archetype in my mind.

The epitome of a leader -Mal Reynolds

"Everybody dies alone"

and

"You woulda done the same"
"Well you can already see I haven't, now get the hell off my ship"

Both from Out of Gas

"None of it means a damned thing"

From Objects in Space, although it's not actually spoken, I suppose.



"So you're a bounty hunter?"
"That ain't it at all"
"Then what are you?"
"I'm a bounty hunter"

Ok, these are all good and all, but what about:

"The Train Job" - Well, they tell ya, never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is on occasion hilarious. - Mal

"Our Mrs. Reynolds" - You can't just open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I am a mystery. - Mal

"Objects in Space" - She understands. She doesn't comprehend. - River




"Jaynestown" - To Jayne! The box dropping man ape gone wrong thing. - Simon

Back on the topic of the post, I see: one-liners.

"Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing."

"Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose in the engine room?"

"Anybody ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back."

"Morbid and creepifyin' I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like."

"You paid money for this, Sir? On purpose?"

"I figure every man ever got a statue built of him was one kind of sombitch or another."

"You rely on luck you end up beggin' for Alliance make work, on the drift, towed out to the scrap belt. That's not us. Not ever."

"When you can't run no more you crawl. When you can't do that, you find someone to carry you."

I'm being too serious, aren't I? Sorry.

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

"Your mouth's talkin'. Might want to look to that."

"Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity?"

so many quotes, so little time...

Inara: What did I tell you about barging into my shuttle?
Mal: That it was manly and impulsive?
Inara: Yes only the exact phrase I used was "don't".

Mal: What the hell's going on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Did some terrifying space monkeys get loose?

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 theater.

Mal: Appears we got here just in the nick of time! What does that make us?
Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir!
Mal: Ain't we just?

Patron: That girl is a witch!
Mal: Yeah, but she's our witch. *cocks gun* So cut her the hell down.

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

Wash's dinos: 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."/
I think we should call it "your grave!"/
Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!/
Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh!

Jayne: What y'all order a dead guy for?

These are my personal favs!
^-^
