Oh, it wasn't an accident. I forget the exact quote, but Alan Tudyk speaks about this on the "Done The Impossible" DVD, where he says Joss Whedon discussed Wash's death with him and said it was necessary for the audience to realize that none of the characters were safe; that any one of them could die in the 'verse at any time.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this one, but it always makes me smile: it's a silly little moment between Wash and Kaylee in "Heart of Gold," but it always cracks me up (and I may not have it exactly right):
Kaylee: Everybody's got somebody...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.
Alan's delivery of that last line is just perfect.

No, I'm sure you've realized by now that I was just kidding. I just loved his character is all. I loved him with Zoe, and I loved him with Kaylee, and I loved him with Mal, and I loved him with Jayne... I could go on. But the fact remains that whatever Joss did, he had his own reasons for doing it. And as the person who created this shiny 'Verse, then I just let him do what he's going to do, and trust that the fanboy in him will allow me the slightest tinge of happiness.

I believe Wash's true genius requires context..so I'm putting in other people's lines too.
Wash: (Off an alarm sounding from the console) "Closing in."
Zoe: "Planet's coming up a mite fast."
Wash: "That's just cause I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
Mal: "I would appreciate it if one person on this boat would not assume I'm an evil, lecherous hump."
Zoe: "No one's saying that, sir."
Wash: "Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing
incessantly.
Wash: "I mean, I'm the one she swore to love, honor and obey."
Mal: "Listen..." (beat) "She swore to obey?"
Wash: "Well, no, not... But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!"
Wash: "Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next?"
Zoe: "Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up."
Wash: "I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it."
Wash: (sarcastically) "Yes, Jayne. She's a witch. She has had congress with the beast."
Jayne: "She's in Congress?"
Wash: (amazed) "How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.
Wash: "Start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a ninety-pound girl, 'cause I don't think that's ever gettin' old."
I could go on and on
I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

Terri,
I got what you meant. I get your humor!
Quote:
Seriously, Joss Whedon hates me, in particular. I think as he was writing the BDM, he was like, what would Terri Day, of Charlotte North Carolina, least like to see happen at the end of this spectacular movie.
I was one of the few that saw Firefly when it first aired. Whenever I hear Joss talking about it, he refers to the amount of people that saw the show. I'd swear that he says, "Only VerseExplorer and a few people watched it."
Has anyone else heard that? "Only (insert your name) and a few people watched it." Joss does have a way of making us feel he is writing just for us. That's why we love him.Back to Wash:
Not a quote, but I usually giggle in OiS when River is talking as the ship, and Zoe and Wash wake up. He rises slowly, but it always cracks me up because it reminds me of the bloopers when he wakes up quickly, and he makes Gina break character and start to giggle. Too funny!

From Bushwacked:
"The legs. Oh yeah. I would definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down. Her legs and right where her legs meet her back. Actually that whole area. That and above it. "
"Have you seen what she wears. Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?"
Thats one of the best to me.
Another Favorite:
"And sometimes you juggle geese!"
"Six men came to kill me one time. The best of 'em carried this. Its a Killhan Full-Bore Auto Lock, customized trigger, double-cartridge thorough-gage. It is my very favorite gun."
