A lot of times, when I'm out on the train and my engineer is trying to second-guess every move I aim to make, my line usually is: Why are you still arguing what's been decided? If he really starts to get smart with me, it goes up to: This is how it is. You don't wanna fly with me anymore, this is your port o' harbour. 
When we're out on the road, I've also taken to asking the dispatcher: Addressing the itch of curiousness, is Amtrak on time? Also it's extremely rare for somebody to say 'interesting' without me asking them to define interesting. (At a recent geek night there was a concern about food shortage and the answer was, 'Oh, God, oh, God, we're all gonna starve?')
And now that Panera is being inundated with noisy kids....
Well, that's my cue to skedaddle! 
(I used the same quote recently at a friend's wedding when it came time to toss the bouquet and the garter. 
)
Killed some bandits
Partied, tarried
Next thing he knows
Mal is married
FIREFLY
Captain of the New England Browncoats

I was having difficulty the other day searching for a file at work, and was about to utter "where are you hiding little girl?", but then realised in time that it sounds rather suspect out of context.

"creepifyin'"
"poetical"
"curiousness"
"per-maybe-haps" (all the time)
"shiny"
"gorammit" slips out every now and then when I least expect it.
"monkey-shit"
"...be on our/your merry"
"One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!" (to my brother when he does something exceptionally stupid at a great height with his friends, which happens alarmingly often, now that I think about it...)
Also, I've been known to refer to pompous or uptight people as "Lord Fauntleroy" quite often
"Some people juggle geese!"
"whimsical in the brain-pan"
"I think you have a problem with your brain bein' missing."
"son of a whore"
"where's that get fun?"
"I'm gonna have to brillo that outa my brainpan." (Mal's thoughts from the BDM novelization aftter Kaylee's "twixt my nethers" tirade)
"Well, my days of not takin' you seriously are certainly comin' to a middle."
There are a few more I can't remember offhand, but that's the gist of it.

"I refuse to submit,
To the god you say is kind.
I know what's right, and it is time,
It's time to fight, and free our minds!
Our spirits were forged in snow and ice,
To bend like steel forged over fire.
We were not made to bend like reed,
Or to turn the other cheek!"
- from the song "Thousand Years of Opression" by Amon Amarth

Besides the most commonly used ones... "Gorram" "How's that get fun?" "Gee... wouldn't it be nice if we had some GRANADES about now?" "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eatin' steak" "Shiney"... "Huh..." few choice mandarin curse words, "I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar" right before I get on the road (just before leaving my driveway, 'cause I useually drive like a bat outta hell) "Oh, I'm goin' to the special hell..." "Some people juggle geese!" "Have good sex" (that one gets a LOT of strange looks ) many many others, I can't think of 'em all off the top of my head right now... OOOoo, almost forgot "Bwaha!!" "I think you/I have a problem with my brain bein' missing" "creepifying" "per-maybe-haps" "poetical" "...be on our/your merry" "One of you is gunna fall, and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!" (quite too often... just 'cause most of my friends do stupid stuff...) *ponders* yeah... I'll be in my bunk... night 'coats

I don't use that much, except maybe 'Shiny'. Although I have used the wishes/horses quote, and one that's not been mentioned before - "And I want to be king of Londinium and wear a shiny hat"

"Gorramit" i get strange looks after that one.
"I think you have a problem with your brain being missing" i've used a couple of times.
"go se" i get strange looks after that one too.
"This must be what going mad feels like" and of course "No, this must be what going mad feels like"
>I also will quote whole segments of separate episodes at the apartment, and my boyfriend will look at me weird, then say "oh, you're quoting again" just cuz there are so many parts of firefly and serenity that are worth quoting.
I can't wait for the opportunity to use "You're like a trained ape, WITHOUT the training" in a conversation. so choice.
"Your mouth is talking, you might want to look to that."
there was one quote in particular I used recently but I can't remember what it was. :-P

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a falling sky?

(with a fellow Browncoat coming into work) Well, well, well -- coming in at the nick of time... what does that make us?
(friend) Big Damn Heroes, sir!
(me) Ain't we just...
"Shiny" has come into my regular vocabulary... as has "Special Hell..." and "My God, they're all psychopaths"... and my friend and I start laughing.
"We will rise again..."

I have a friend who hasn't even seen the series yet, but he's seen the movie ONCE, and he's already using the word "shiny" in regular conversation *teehees* that just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
OH!OH!OH! and, *sniggers* i used "morbid and creepifying" in a conversation yesterday without even having to think about it, and when i realzed what i said i started laughing, and my boyfriend rolled his eyes at me :-P love it!

Usual, I just end up slangin' my words more and takin' leave of grammatical rules. Which is not necessarily good since I teach English and my students need grammar (or at least, a teacher who is conscious of her grammar). But here are words I end up sayin' some:
"shiny"
"gorram"
"chi ni duh",
and "ain't we just."
and this I just found the perfect situation for earlier: "I'm trying to think of a way for you to be cruder... *pause* it's just not coming."
I got a real big mental high-five just then. hehe.
Ain't we just.
