Wow, that was quick...

"The pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots." (Mal)

"Captain'll come up with a plan."
"Well, that's good... right?"
"Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans." (Zoe & Kaylee)

"Ship like this, be with you til the day you die."
"That's because it's a deathtrap." (Mal & Zoe)

"..and I've made myself ready for you."
"Let's ride right past the part where you explain exactly what that means." (Saffron & Mal)

River: "Just keep walkin' preacher man"

"It's pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambytoes."

Quote:
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.

You almost got it. It's "....the space of a school boy's wink..."

Not tryin' to be mean, just tryin' to help a out.

Its getting late, and so I scanned the posts, so apologies if I missed these -

The moment for me that manages to define the Simon/River relationship perfectly -

"I threw up...."
"I threw up on your bed"
"That's my sister"

Okay, its a great deal to do with the acting, but the layers it works on amaze me.

On that level, Objects in Space - pretty much all of it as a fantastically constructed script - River's "surrender" - "I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early". Add to that Early's terrifying speech to Kaylee, the "lion" exchange and "we're becoming fast friends". Wasn't this the "wacky fun" episode as well?

"I threw up on your bed"

^_^ That was it... thank you

I just thought of some more lines I love:

River: Purple elephants are flying.
Mal: Good. Thanks for the update.

Petaline: Rance, this is Jonah. Jonah, say hello to your daddy.
Rance: *smiles*
Petaline: *pulls out gun* Say goodbye to your daddy Jonah. *fires*
Rance: *dies*

I've always liked:

Zoe: Doesn't the bible have some pretty spicific things to say about killing?
Book: Yes, but it's fuzzy on the area of knee caps.
(war stories)

Zoe: Jayne!?
Jayne: I didn't fight in no war. Best of luck though
(train job)

Mal: We've got some local color hapening...a grand entrance would not go amis.
(train job)

Wash: Aww, we always hoped you two'd get together, who is she?
(our mrs. reynolds)

Mal: she's not my wife!
safferon starts crying
Kaylee goes to her: Oh, there there, he's a monster
(our mrs. reynolds, not sure if i got that one quite right)

Simon (to jayne): your like a trained ape...without the training.
(serenity)

Wash: ok, everybody not talking about sex, in here. everybody else, out there!

I could go on with this for days...

"Oh my god it's grotesqe! and here's a thing in a jar."

All-time fav Firefly quotes? Hard to choose just 1, so I'm gonna do 5 that I love:

#1 - "Too much hair" - River
#2 - "Kaylee? What the hell's going on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?" - Mal
#3 - "You like ships. Don't seem to be
looking at the destinations. What
you care about is ships and mine
is the nicest." - Kaylee
#4 - "Every man there go back inside or
we will blow a new crater in this
little moon." - Wash
#5 - "He took this right off 'em. They
earned that with the sweat of their
slave-tradin' brows." - Mal

I love that last quote, mainly because of the way Nathan Fillion delivers it. It's also very reminiscent of a couple of his lines in "The Train Job".

***
Badger: If you'd gotten here sooner, you might've beaten the bulletin that came up saying a rogue vessel, classification 'Firefly', was spotted pulling illegal salvage on a derelict
transport.

I love how Mal refers to the sky as his, like in these two quotes:

Mal: Its getting crowed under my sky.
Mal: Wash, I would like my sky to be a little less empty.

It fits well with the theme song and Mal's cowboyish personality. You know what I mean, when some cowboys refer to a town as their town, their territory. Thats what Mal is doing; the sky is his territory. I love Mal.
