What is your favorite catch phrase from Firefly or any other movie. No need to keep within the genre or media. Films, TV Series and book are all fair game. Oh, and it doesn't matter if the whole film/series/book blew baboon offal - just as long as you really enjoyed the catch phrase and any actions it inspired.

I'll give an example to get ya started, not really my fave, but here ya go.

Terminator : "I'll be back" ... then 'it' drives the car thu the front doors of the Police Station and crashing further into the front desk.

There ya go - have at!

From Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress: TANSTAAFL

Hopefully you've already read the book and will know what it means. If not, READ THE BOOK!

Coincidentally it is the book that several of us over on the new Big Damn Board have chosen for a book discussion group. You can find the thread here - http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com/serenity/index.html?fuseaction=for

"Don't kid yourself." --InuYasha (For someone who lies to himself [about himself] as much as he does, it's poetically just that he's so hard on others about it. Loved it when Kagome finally throws the line back in his face.)

"You. . . are a fool." --Megatron (Transformers Armada) (The dub and the animation both sucked, but the "I have to pace the lipsynch" delivery of this line is just hilarious.)

"I've got a bad feeling about this." --Everyone in Star Wars (Especially funny when someone said it in a theatre just before AotC started )

"Frell me dead." --Aeryn Sun (Farscape) (Just a good all-purposes "holy sh*t" expression.)

"Eat and grow strong." --Barbarossa Anasazi, as relayed by Tyr (Andromeda) (Apparently the Nietzschean equivalent of "bon apetit.")

"No good will come of this." --The Brain, from Pinky & (It's just so apropos for, like, every situation I ever find myself in. )

"Curses." --Mojo Jojo (The Powerpuff Girls) (Anytime, regardless of situation. For full effect, stretch it out ["Cuuuuurrrrrrsssseeeeeesssss."])

"Duh." --Bubbles Powerpuff (Said in a cheerful and upbeat manner.)

"Cheese! Cheese! CHEESE!" --from the "Moviehead" commercial that used to play on TVGuide channel. Just 'cause of the histrionics.

Also some multipurpose "insert word" ones:

"We have ___ Sign!" --from MST3K's version ("We have Movie Sign!"), reflecting an irreverent approach to life. For a true MSTer, anything is a potential MST target.

"I'm a doctor, not a ___." --If you don't get this one, I won't explain it.

"It's a real burden being right so often" from Firely

"No matter where you, there you are" from Buckeroo Banzai

Good to see 'No good will come of this', it's one of my faves, it was the tagline to my last radio show!

James Ellroy uses the phrase 'ding' in one of his books to describe a person of below average intelligence, I use that one a lot, but with a much more refined definition which is a huge in joke and surely of no interest to anyone here.

I use shiny a lot, as you can see from the username, also 'doubleshiny'!

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

From the tv miniseries The 10th Kingdom: "Suck an elf!" It's just so lovely:) Also, "bored now" from Buffy.

From MST3K: Can we agree that from now on films have to be made by FILM-MAKERS?

Also from MST3K but more of a quote: Wow, eggs are complicated, they should cost like a hundred dollars each.

From Planescape: Torment: Pike off!

From Hellboy: Aw, nuts...

From 'The Dark Tower': Ka.

From Star Wars: I've got a bad feeling about this...

From Dreamcatcher: Shit in your hat and wear it backwards, Bruce! (interesting since there is nobody called Bruce in the book. Its just like King decided to make Bruce a profanity.)

From anything by Terry Pratchet: I's all wossname.

From "If Chins Could Kill" by Bruce Campbell (Used amonst my friends who hate my car and conspire to destry it): You will never kill The Classic! NEVER!

10k? 10K?!

*Bows down to lissa* For those who know the wonders of The 10th Kingdom are hard to find. ^_^

I also use 'Bored now', and I've picked up on Buffy lingo. Lots of 'uber' before words and 'ly' and 'ish' added to the ends of them.

'Huff puff.' from The 10th Kingdom. Yay for Wolf.

I use Shiny and Gorram(it) a lot.

Most of mine have been mentioned...I've screamed 'We've got homework sign!' in class before. And 'Damnit, Lisha, I'm a writer not a doctor!' is my side of the phrase my best friend and I have messed up and then tossed around. Oh, yes, and who can forget...

MST3k (movie): Oh my god, my waffles! OH, THE HUMANITY! (More of a quote...meh.)

I'm a scary 12-year-old.

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

TANSTAAFL! I love that book. I hope the rumors that Tim Minear will make it into a movie are true. Heinlein Rules.
