I've got to say ".. No, but I'm thinking of growing a black mustache. I'm a traditionalist" is my favourite.

That's followed by "I told him to sit down" etc.

Ah, thanks for all the responses. I'd forgotten how many humorous lines this guy had.

I like the dinner party, or the one about dying standing..."Light it" is also good, with some photos to show the context. Probably just gonna use one quote for this, so I'll go with emotional over funny. And these three quotes all show how much he cares about River, which, so far in the show, is a very large part of his charactor.

I said "so far". You saw that, right? 'Cause this show'll come back. Beleive you me.

I don't have a fave quote by Simon. However, I do like the way he stood up to Mal in the pilot ep. Also impressed how well he dealt with Early in OIS.

From "Objects in Space," Simon telling River about Early:

SIMON: (to River) He's really very gentle and fuzzy, we're becoming fast friends.

Heya,

A lot of my favorites are already posted, but here are a few more...

"I swear when it's appropriate. "

"Mmm, yes, seems like a lovely little
community of kidnappers."

"I'm very sorry if she tipped off
anyone about your cunningly concealed
herd of cows."

"If I didn't know better I'd say you
were ready to save some lives."

"I have to go check on my assassin. "

"Well, my sister's a ship. We had a
complicated childhood. "

To Jayne: "I'm trying to think of a way for you
to be cruder. It's just not coming. "

"You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe
hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her
whole leg. She named her hamster after me.
I got a hamster. He drops a box of money,
he gets a town."

"So finally a decent wound on this ship,
and I miss out. I'm sorry."

"Great. Another exciting adventure in
sitting."

"The bounty on us just keeps getting
more exciting. "

"Hamsters is nice"
