What was that quote from Heart of Gold?

off the top of my head i would have to say from serenity in the commentary.

Nathan Fillion says "...And that was the first time I split my pants"

The "it's enough" line is another one

Kaylee after she gets shot "Everybody's so mad"

Another is the grunt from mal when he first sees river

I can't believe no one mentioned this one:

"Every planet has its own weird customs... I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese... Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled." --Wash, 'Our Mrs. Reynolds'

And I can't help but laugh at Kaylee's indignance:

"Six gerstlers crammed right under every cooling drive so that you strain your primary artery function and you end up having to recycle secondary exhaust through a bypass system just so's you don't end up pumping it through the main atmofeed and asphyxiating the entire crew. Now that's junk." --Kaylee, 'Bushwacked'

And though it turns out in the end of the episode that this quote doesn't refer to what you'd think, I still like it:

"Real beauty, ain't she? Yes sir, a right smart purchase, this vessel. I'll tell you what. You buy this ship, treat her proper... she'll be with you for the rest of your life." --Salesman, 'Out of Gas'

"..and here's to all the dreamers, may our open hearts find rest." -- Nanci Griffith

Stuff that hasn't been mentioned:

Trash-
Mal: "I hate to bring up our iminent arrest in the middle of your CRAZY TIME, but we have to leave, now."

OMR -
Mal: "Are you offering me a trade?"
Jayne: "A trade? Hell, it's practically theft. This here's the finest gun made by man, it's lots better than what you got."
Mal: "What I got? She has a name."
Jayne: "So does this! I call her Veera."

Saffron: "You would lie with me?"
Alarm goes off
Inara: "I think we've lied enough."
Saffron: "You're good."
Inara: "You're incredible, who are you?"

Serenity -
Simon: "What do you pay him for?"
Mal: "Eh?"
Simon: "I was just wondering what his job was, on the ship."
Mal: "Public relations."

Dobson: "Alright, I can see you're not an idiot."
Jayne: "Well I wish I could say the same for you Lawrence, but... this is just dissapointing as hell."

Shindig -
Simon: "The captian's a good fighter, I'm sure he knows how to use a sword..."
Zoey: "I think he knows which end to hold."

The Message -
Simon: "This may come as a surprise, but I'm not very good at talking to girls."
Zoey: "Why, is there someone you are good at talking to?"

Heart of Gold -
Mal: "I'll introduce the rest of the crew later. They're good people."
Jayne: "Can I start gettin' sexed already?"
Mal: "Well, that one's a bit horrific."

The Train Job-
Simon: "What're we doing?"
Kaylee: "Oh. Crime."

War Stories -
Niska: "You died, Mr. Reynolds."
Mal: "Seemed like the thing to do."

Mal: "Listen, if you've got guests, I can come back later."

Wash: "I can handle myself. I've been in a fire fight. Well, I was in a fire. Actually I was fired... from a fry cook opertunity."

Oh, one more from Heart of Gold:

Kaylee: "Wash, tell me I'm pretty."
Wash: "Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion."
Kaylee: "'Cause I'm pretty?"
Wash: "'Cause you're pretty."

Okay. Limit one, I have two I'll post.

"Not so much." This is classic Firefly understatment and gets tossed around by lots of people in different episodes.

Mal in Out of Gas: "Everyone dies alone." I just love this line in context!




There is no such thing as a weed.
