Hey, canttakesky:
I think you misunderstood what painisscary said (you sniped the initial sentence too quickly).

painisscary said:
"Though it'd probably be easier to come up with a list of least favorite lines (since there aren't any), here's some great ones"

In other words, you two agree...

On a side note, when I started this thread way back in November (a hundred and eleven posts ago), I apparently didn't realize just how amazingly quotable just about every line of Firefly is. This is a testament and a huge compliment to Joss and his band-o-writers.

The whole set of exchanges between Book and River in Jaynestown is pretty hilarious. While I like River's explanation of how the Bible is "broken" best, this line (about Book's hair) is also brilliant:

They say the snow on the roof was too heavy.
They say the ceiling will cave in. His brains
are in terrible danger.

ZOE
Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the
hair away now.

RIVER
It'll still be there....waiting.

OK, here's another great River quote, from Shindig:

(spoken with Badger's accent)

Sure, I got a secret. More than one. Don't seem likely I'd tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Dyton Colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talking loud enough for the both of us though, ain'tcha? I've known a dozen like you. Skipped off home early, running graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lock down, but less than you claim. And you're what? Petty thief with delusions of standing? Sad, little king of a sad, little hill.

"Forgive my rudeness. I cannot abide useless people. "

Duh. Thanks for your correction. So I have a problem with my brain being missing. Sorry, painisscary!

You forgot, "Let me know if anyone interesting shows up."

lol, your signature reminded me of another funny line in the show: (sorry if its not exact)

It must have taken a dozen slaves and a dozen days to get you into that get up, of coarse your daddy tells me it takes the wink of a school boy to get you out of it again.

When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you.

The two times Simon uses the phrase "This must be what going mad feels like."

Jayne:"Are YOU about to jump onto a moving train?"

River:"I can kill you with my brain."

Book:"You can't kill this man."
Jayne:"Not right away."

and the vote for the serious line:
Jayne:"Don't tell 'em what I done."

Keep on walkin', Preacher-man.

I love reading favourite lines -- and luckily (or not, depending on how carried away I get) I just finished watching my shiny new DVD set today!
I'll try not to repeat, and sorry if I don't get something precisely word-for-word.
BTW, I also am a big fan of stuff that sounds great taken completely out of context. But I'll go ahead n credit em.

"Haven't you killed me enough?" (Mal)

"You're using wiles on me!" (Mal)

"Lady, you're my kind of stupid." (er..Mal again)

"Jayne? Jayne Cobb?" (Inara, on finding out who the hero of Canton is)

"Jayne is a girl's name." (River)

"I'll stay out of your whorin' and you stay out of my thievin'." (Mal..seems to be a trend)

I think I have too many screaming around my brain right now. I'll narrow em down and come back later.
