While the other thread highlights memorable quotes from River, here let's list favorite quotes about River. Includes retorts and lines made in the presence of her, or remotely.

I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot and we don't all die from it. - Wash.

How about we play you shut the hell up. Won't that be a fun game? - Jayne, The Train Job.

So many good ones to choose from. Here are my top 3.

Mal: "So, she's added cussing and hurling about of things to her repertoire. She really is a prodigy."

Villager: "The girl is a witch."
Mal: "Yeah, but she's our witch-" (cocks gun, points it at him) "-so cut her the hell down."

Early: "You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?"

Zoe: "Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?

Book: "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."

MAL: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

"One of you is gonna fall and die, and I ain't cleanin' it up!"- Mal
Love that line!

-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

You mean:

"Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein."

Right?

Yes, I do, but my computer isn't in German, and I'm too lazy to look on the net to find one. So, either s, or change it to SS, which would mean capitilizing the rest of the word, and then the rest of the sentence, and then it would just look stupid. I'll probably change it, though, since you've been so kind as to have one right here for me!

Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a spaceship.

Jayne: She is startin' to damage my calm.

Jayne: No trouble, little crazy person. We're going for a nice shuttle ride.

The Operative: That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [to Inara] Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.

I could go on and on and on...but I won't.

Operative: She is an albatross.

River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky, and they remember what they are.

To which Mal replies--

Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

Still a little whimsical in the brainpan.
Seems calm enough though.

XD that one too.

"They have gone through enormous trouble to find your little friend, and found her they have. Do you all know what it is you're carrying?"
gotta love his tone and expression when he says that, he looks so scared and anxious, like 'be careful, guys.'

My fav quotes are (and I'll probably repeat):

Mal- Is it bad that what she just said made perfect sense to me?

Mal- Ah, the pitter-patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots . . . SHADDAP!

Mal- Yeah, but she's our witch- so cut her the hell down!

Simon- I can't keep track of her when she's NOT incorporeally possessing a spaceship.

Simon- I'm very sorry if River tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows

Jayne- She's in Congress?

Swirligigs!

I tell you this so that when I say River makes me look like an idiot child, you take my full meaning. - Simon, Pilot.

I like the part where Jayne gets beat up by a 90 pound girl. That'll never get old. - Wash, BDM.
