I think I love this show, since I spent the last three days watching my entire DVD set (including watching eps with and without the commentary tracks. I decided the best thing to do was sign up as a member and make this my first post.

Does this qualify me as a FFF?

Anyways, since the #1 favorite rule seems to have flown out the window around post number 5 or so, here are my votes for the ones already quoted and a new quote for consideration.

Wash: "What could it be, we're all doomed, who's flying this thing?!?! Oh, that would be me."
---
Wash: "Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction."
Zoe: "Dear, you live on a spaceship."
---
Wash: 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! Now die!/
Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!
---
Sherif: You were truthful back in town, these are tough times. A man can get a job, he might not look too close what that job is. But a man learns all the details of a situation like ours, well, then he has a choice
Mal: I don't believe he does.
---
Mal:"Mercy is the mark of a great man."
(pauses, then stabs Atherton)
"Guess I'm just a good man."
(again)
"Well, I'm alright."
---
Inara (regarding praying for Mal):Don't tell him. I never do.
---

And a new quote for the list:

From the very end of Safe:
Simon: "Captain, why did you come back for us?"
Mal: "You're on my crew."
Simon: "yeah, but you don't even like me. Why d'you come back?"
Mal: "You're on my crew. Why are we still talking about this?"

Cheers,

My favorite lines are always the ones that are still hilarious when taken completely out of context. If they need surrounding dialogue or descriptions, I never put them in my "favorites" bag.

"He looked bigger when I couldn't see him."

Okay, okay, I post too many times here.

However:

"I guess it was the Harvard of whore academies."
--Marena Baccarin, SHINGDIG commentary

"I guess they don't want anybody turning on the channel and seeing just black. Not when you can fill it with some reality based game show."
--Allen Tudyk, WAR STORIES commentary

I'm also a new fan of the show, but totally obsessed. I bought my mom the DVD set for Christmas, and watched all the eps over and over...
My favorite quotes, that havent been posted yet-

"We're not gonna die, you hear me? And you know why? Because we are so very PRETTY. We are just too pretty for God to let us die."
(Mal, *Serenity*)

"I love my captain."
(Kaylee, *Serenity*)

"I got a share in this buisness! Ten percent of nothin' is- lemme do the math- nothin', plus nothin', carry the-"
(Jayne, *Serenity*)

"But like all creative minds, they must be slapped down."
(Joss, *Serenity* commentary)

Also *Serenity* commentary:
Joss: "Here's the star of the show, here comes Chicken."
Nathan: "*Sweet!*"

The Train Job--

Mal: "Say that to my face."
Drunk Guy: "I said that you're a coward, and a piss pot. Now what are you gonna do about it?"
Mal: "Nothing. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind you."
Zoe punches the man.
Mal: "Drunks are so cute."

Mal: "I would pull this job for free."
Zoe: "Then can I have your share?"
Mal: "No."
Zoe: "If you die, can I have your share?"
Mal: "Yes."

I can't believe no one mentioned any of these from Shindig:

Mal: "And you're supposed to make me look respectable."
Kaylee: "Yessir, Captain Tight-Pants!"

Mal: "Just help me look for him."
Kaylee: "Is that him?"
Mal: "That's the buffet table."
Kaylee: "Well, how can we be sure...unless we question it?"

"He's an expert swordsman, Mal. You had trouble with the *pillar*."
(Inara, *Shindig*)

Nothing but Jayne cuteness, *Shindig*-

"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."

Our Mrs. Reynolds (another best for one-liners)-

Kaylee: "Oh, sweetie, dont feel bad, he makes everyone cry. He's like a monster."
Mal: "I am NOT a monster!"

Jaynestown--

"Everywhere I go, his eyes keep followin' me..."
(Kaylee)

"His brains are in terrible danger!!"

"Just keep walkin', Preacher-man."
(River)

"My food is problematic!"
(River, *The Message*)

Here endeth the rant, I'm just so in love...

One of my favorite Jayne's quotes is:

Jayne: "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."

You guys have got 'em all....nothing I need to add.

Although...this isn't a line, but I love the scene in "Safe" where River steals the bread off of Jayne's plate. Cracks me up everytime. (I'm pretty sure it's "Safe".)

Besides the quote I use below my name (see above) which was said by Wash upon reaching this zen-like state while trying to outfly the Reavers I like this one too...

Mal: "...She makes things go not smooth"

Simon: "Well I'm sorry if she's drawing attention to your carefuly concealed heard of cows."

From "Safe" I believe. Forgive me for paraphrasing I don't have the best of memories sometimes. Feel free to correct me please.

"We will rise again!"

I love when the group gets going...everyone's delivery and timing is flawless:

Wash: Wacky Fun!
Jayne: You wanna go little man?
Wash: Only if it's somewhere with candlelight

Zoe: I don't think she'd hurt anyone
Jayne: Butcher's knife???
Zoe: Anyone we can't spare

Jayne: I don't like the thought of her hearing what I'm thinking.
Inara: No one likes the thought of hearing what you're thinking.

Zoe:Take me Sir...take me hard
Jayne: Well something about that is just downright unsettlin'

I love when the whole group gets going, too. That dinner table scene where they talk about "the natty thing" just shines. I love that whole scene.

I also love the scene where Book takes a plate of food to Inara and she assumes he's come to deliver a lecture on her evil ways. He says (paraphrase, please excuse) "I brought you some dinner, but if you'd like a lecture I have a couple of good ones. Hellfire and brimstone. One even has a leper."

"Don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. If someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back."
