Oh - and here's the one I had in mind when I started my last post:

from Wat Stories...
Mal: That ain't so. There's plenty of orders of mine she didn't obey!
Wash: Name one!!!!
Mal: SHE MARRIED YOU!

Bequeathed: Left to you by someone who died

Betrothed: Pledged to marriage

To cleave: Hold tightly, as if joined in a single object (this is an old english interpretation; modern usage is pretty much exclusively "to separate")

I distinctly recall her saying, "I'm to cleave to you." I thought it was wonderful poetry, particularly because it conjured the older interpretation of the verb.

Bequeathed just makes no sense. *laughs*

Decide on a fave quote....how about no? hehe.

A lot of my favorite's have been mentioned here. THere's the 'When you can't run...' quote, pretty much everything Zoe says to Mal, and Wash. A lot of Wash.

"Big damn heroes, sir."

"He makes everybody cry...he's like a monster."

"Bwaa."

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.

I'm trying to be original, but that leaves me with little to quote. Most everyone loves the same stuff. ^_^ Firefly is brilliant....every episode makes me laugh. Probably even more so than Buffy, and it usually leaves me fighting for air between giggles.

Oh, I can't believe no one has posted these...

Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction.
Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.

WASH: Yes, Mal. It would boost the signal, but even if some passerby did happen to receive, all it'd do is muck up their navigation.

MAL: Could be that's true.

WASH: Damn right, it's true! They'd be forced to stop and dig out our signal before they could even go anyplace!
*beat*
WASH: Well, maybe I should do that, then!
MAL: Maybe you should!
WASH: Okay!
MAL: Good!

Stegosaurus: We will rule over all this land, and
we will call it... "This Land."
T-Rex: I think we should call it "your
grave!"
Stegosaurus: Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable
betrayal!
T-Rex: Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now
die!
Stegosaurus: Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"Holy mother of God and all her wacky nephews." (Didn't feel like finding out the chinese...)

Wash: The legs. Oh yeah, definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down. Her legs, and where her legs meet her back. Actually, that whole area. That, and above it.

Firefly is just too good.

"Bwaa...it's kind of a warrior...strikes fear into the hearts of..."

Oh!
My!
God(dess)!

Cleavers!

In an aside to the thread in which someone was arguing that River and Reavers are related by Academy manipulation (Reavers are just earlier versions of River that the Academy cast off), we now have a third group! Cleavers.

Cleavers are a renegade splinter group, broken away from the Companion's Guild. They no longer use their powers for good (sex), but for evil (cleavin'). They wander the 'verse cleaving to unsuspecting men and womenfolk, in both the OE and modern definitions given above. First they cleave to a guy ('hold tightly'), then they cleave ('separate') their thighs and cleave ('hold tightly') unto him. Finally, they cleave ('separate') the victims' money and other worldy possessions from them. Think 'sports wife'. For example, just wait 'til you see what Kobe's little Cleaver does to him over the next few years; he'd be luckier meeting Reavers. Very scary...

We've only met Saffron so far. I can hardly wait 'til we meet Ward, June, Wally and of course, *shivers* the Beaver.

Although, I think we already know who the beaver cleaver on the show is, right? Or do we need to run a pole, er, poll through that topic as well?

Thorazinely,

zoid

Strangely, one of my favourites isn't even from a major character. The gentleman in "Shindig" that rescues Kaylee says to the evil wench: (not certain about exactly how it starts but the gist is) "That's a mighty fine dress. It must have taken a dozen slaves a dozen hours to get you into it. Of course your daddy tells me it takes the space of a schoolboy's wink to get you out of it again. *wench leaves in a huff* I can not abide useless people."

That is a gorram fine piece a quotin' and no mistake

Oh. How could any of us forget this one? Well, those of us who are lucky enough to be able to afford the DVD's (or those of us who can't but bought it anyways). It's in the deleated scenes where River wants Book to marry her and Simon. Simon looks at book, and not knowing what to say, finally says it as bluntly as Jayne: "She's REALLY crazy." Or river saying later in the scene, "You gotta marry me now. I'm in the family way." Screw plot. They should've kept that in.

"No power in the 'verse can stop me."

It's true, June Cleaver had a little Beaver. She also wore a pearl necklace all of the time. She said that it symbolized her love and devotion for her husband Wash, er.. Ward.

Which reminds me, why do you think Zoe wants to have children? Does she want a little beaver?
