"They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that.
In the 19th century, the great populist William Jennings Bryan, also arguing against central authority, stated "The people have the right to their own mistakes".

DIfferent words, same sentiment. I like this because it focused on the problem of freedom - does error have rights? I don't know Whedon's opinion on this point, and it is important not to confuse a novelist with his creations. But, for me, this is the whole point of the movie, and why I still enjoy watching it.

Glad "Nothin' into nothin.." made it in, my favorite Jayne line. It sums up his entire m.o.

---
"There could be torture. Whatever. So you get the location..."

---
Simon (kodak compassionate):You are my beautiful sister.
River(only slightly apologetic):I threw up on your bed.
Simon(as he frequently is): Yup, definitely my sister.
---
...and in the purely silly category:

"...man-ape-gone-wrong-thing!..."

---

Going for a ride.
Dear Buddha, please bring me a plastic rocket and a pony...

Forgot, favorites. Know no one cares about that part but they're good for some more giggles:

---

Wash (epic, with impeccable pronunciation):

"Everyone there go back inside or I will blow another crater in this little moon..."

---

You know when you've written good sci-fi ?

When your 75 yr old father, who had less than zero interest in anything sci-fi, what so ever, actually smiles at this line.

Then you know, you're watching something very special.

For my own personal reasons.....thanks Joss.

My girlfriend hates anything were the main plot revolve around space(star wars, star trek, ect)I got her hooked on firefly and shes told me that when ever im done reading Float Out that i better give it to her right away. Joss Whedon truly is my master now.

Didn't see my favorite Book quote: " If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."

Yes, people who talk in the theater or, worse still, yell out to the characters or action on the screen! A special level in Hell is an instance of God's mercy. They could instead be sentenced to an eternity of Doris Day movies.
