Gotta love this'n (Although I'm pretty damn sure it's already been posted close to two dozen odd times); "One of you is gonna fall 'n die, and I ain't cleanin' it up!"
Classic.
And, "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet that I will end you."

-Danny

and every time I play with passion I start breaking strings,
and my voice cracks when I sing from my heart
guess that's the price I've got to pay to know that I'm alive
this melody is tearing me apart


THRICE RULES!!!!!!!!!
Gott weise ich will kein Engel sein.

The pilot episode after taking on Simon, Shepard Book, and the lawman chasing the Tam's as passengers. They are all having their first meal together when Jayne makes some pretty crude comments directed at Kaylee. Mal in anger orders him away from the table and Simon asks what Jayne's job on the ship is.


(Simon)"him (referring to Jayne), what is his job on this ship"

(Mal) "public relations"

"Promise not stop off on the way home to have beers with the fella's"

Not positive if these have been put up yet or not, but...
Serenity (episode):
KAYLEE
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new
people. They've all got stories...
JAYNE
Captain, can you please stop her from
being cheerful?
MAL
I don't believe there is a power in
the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from
being cheerful.
He smiles at her, never stopping working.
MAL (cont'd)
Sometimes you just wanna duct tape
her mouth and dump her in the hold
for a month.
She grins and kisses his cheek.
KAYLEE
I love my captain.



Bushwhacked:
Alliance Commander: "You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war?"
Zoe: "Fought with a lot of people in the war."
Alliance Commander: "And your husband?"
Zoe: "Fight with him sometimes, too."




Shindig:
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: "Well, that happens, let me know."


Kaylee: (pointing to a pink frilly dress) "Say, look at the fluffy one!"
Zoe: "Too much foofaraw. If I'm going to wear a dress, I'd want something with some slink."
Wash: "You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?"
Jayne: "I'll chip in."
Zoe: (to Jayne) "I can hurt you."


MAL
How would you even set up a meet, man
won't deal with you?
BADGER
I know a place he'll be. Safe place,
using some new-tech gun scans. High
class, too. They wouldn't let me in
there, but you might slip by.
'Course you couldn't buy an invite
with a diamond size of a testicle.
But I got my hands on a couple.
Mal raises his eyebrows for a pregnant beat.
BADGER (cont'd)
(clarifying)
...of invites. You want the meeting
or not?



WASH
Seems like out there it's all fancy
parties. I like our party better.
The dress code's easier and I know
all the steps.


WASH
You're acting Captain. You know what
happens, you fall asleep?
ZOE
Jayne slits my throat and takes over?
WASH
That's right
ZOE
And we can't stop it?
WASH
I wash my hands of it. Hopeless
case. I'll read a nice poem at the
funeral. Something with imagery.
ZOE
You could lock the door. Keep the
power-hungry maniac at bay.
WASH
Don't know. I'm starting to like
this poetry thing. "Here lies my
beloved Zoe, my autumn flower,
somewhat less attractive now that
she's all corpse-ified and gross...
ZOE HITS HIM WITH A PILLOW


MAL
Possible you were right before. This
ain't my kind of a party.
Inara can't help herself and she smiles. Atherton is suddenly there. He's seen enough. He takes her back roughly, hauling her by the arm.
MAL (cont'd)
Watch yourself there. No need for
any hands-on.
Guests, including Harrow, look at the public display.
ATHERTON
Excuse me. She's not here with you,
Captain. She's mine.
MAL
Yours? She don't belong to nobody.
ATHERTON
Money changed hands. Makes her mine
tonight. And no matter how you dress
her up, she's still--
Without warning, Mal hauls off and PUNCHES ATHERTON, lays him right down on the floor. Mal smiles and looks to Inara.
MAL
Turns out this is my kind of a party!


INARA
Actually, that's not how it works.
You see, you've earned yourself a
black mark in the client registry.
No Companion is going to contract
with you ever again.
HARROW
You'll have to rely on your winning
personality to get women. God help
you.





The Message:
MAL
SETTLE! That's enough
TRACEY
He was cuttin' on me, Sarge!
MAL
I know it! I told him to!
TRACEY
You told him to! What for?!
MAL
You were dead!
TRACEY
(coming back to him)
Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was.
(sees Zoe)
Hey there, Zoe.
ZOE
Private.
MAL
You feeling a mite calmer now?
TRACEY
Yes, Sarge.
(then)
Sarge?
MAL
What?
TRACEY
I think I'm nekked.
A beat. Mal's straddling a naked man.


TRACEY (cont'd)
(sad little laugh)
'When you can't run anymore, you
crawl... and when you can't do that--'
Coughs again, this time a trickle of

Final scene of BDM; Mal in pilot's chair, River in co-pilot's chair, (expertly) flying the ship.

MAL (to River): ....You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

RIVER: (smiles)

That passage brings everything full-circle that was started so beautifully in OiS: River loved that ship, and considered it a home. Just wanted to be a part. Mal knew she was a liability from the start, but could never turn his back on her, no matter how great a liability she became.

River is finally home; she smiles. Then --

RIVER: Storm's getting worse.
MAL: We'll pass through it soon enough.

And that, more than anything sums up the theme of that ship, that crew, that home, and the relationship between Mal and River.

Kaylee: *meekly* What are they doing?
Jayne: Fixin' to get themselves killed.
Zoe: We're gonna go get the Captain.
Kaylee: *timid smile and a nod* Oh. *thumbs up* Great. *quietly, to Jayne* Can they do that?
Jayne: *indignant* No.

"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

"Yeah, but she's our witch. So cut her the hell down."

"Drunks are so cute."

"Your bible's broken. Contradictions...false logistics....It doesn't make sense."

~Jubal is talking about how River is doing the right thing coming with him~
"Really? Some of us feel differently."

"Well, you were right about this bein' a bad idea." "Thanks for sayin', sir."

"When you can't run, crawl. And when you can't do that, you find somebody to carry you."

"Now here's all the money Niska gave us-" "Oh, I got it, I'm good, best thing for everyone, I'm right there with you."

"Yep, it's a cow fetus."

"My food is problematic." "Girl's a mindreadin' genius can't eat an ice planet."

"Lomack, I think I broke your junk." (from Tracey, not crew)

"I'll be in my bunk."

"Wha'd y'all order a dead guy for?"

"Pretty spry for a dead fellow."

"What was that? Was that the primary buffer panel?"
"It did seem to resemble-"
"Did the primary buffer panel fall of my gorramn ship for no reason?"

I could go on and on.....

I've had congress with the beast.
