The 'Verse is full of snazzy quotes that can be used in your everyday life to make you sound a little more quippier than you really are.

But what are the quotes that have absolutely NO relevance to real life that you wish you could use but can't?

I've always loved the quote;

"Seventy earths spinnin' about the galaxy, and the meek have inherited not a one."

"That only matters to the people on the rim"

Used the phrase "evil lecherous hump" during a conversation once. Used it in proper context but with non-Browncoats. Took too long to explain to puzzled & offended people -- won't do that again.

Using "hump" in any of the Firefly ways will probably get you a few stares. I'd love to be able to go "I'm humped" or "We're humped" but it probably wouldn't be wise.

Ummmm, how about "Look! They have boy whores!"

I once used 'humped' at a convention, in a Firefly game, and in context. Strangely enough it was received with a kind of stern silence that I had not expected.


Very odd.

I might be able to use "I'll be in my bunk" but maybe nobody would get it.

I do think "well, that has an effect on the landscape" could be used, but have not yet found the proper opportunity.

Two master freemasons meet, do their secret handshake and acknowledge one another.


Two browncoats meet, shake hands and verbalize,

B1 “So ruttin glad to meet you.”

B2 “Gorram shiny.”

It would be good to have everyone you meet understand the language of the verse. But in a way it’s also SHINY to know when you find another Firefly fan.I've used SHINY a couple of times but no one knew what the hell I was talkin about.

PS, I would never say gorram in front of my mother. I may be an old guy but I ain’t to old for a beating.

"Don't pay anybody in advance. And don't ride in anything with a Capissen 38 engine, they fall right out of the sky."
"Mal. Guy killed me, Mal. He killed me with a sword. How weird is that?"
"If I ever kill you, you'll be awake. You'll be facing me, and you'll be armed."

I also like "You're going to come with me!"

"I really don't..."

"... Malcolm, I've been waiting for you to kiss me since I showed you my guns!"

"what about me, am I getting any prettier?"
"by the minute!"

"... as long as it's you, and not my fine rice wine, talkin'!"

"Ain't like anyone else is linin' up to... examine me"

"he looks better in red"

Well, sure - monkeys (and their excrement) are timeless!

I've learned that when it comes to, "Find that kid that's takin' a dirt nap with Baby Jesus - we need a hood ornament!", I really need to make my moment. I find myself spending a lot of my free time hanging out at pull-a-part yards...

I tried "terrifyin' space monkeys" one time...BLANK stares, as if you'd turned their brains off. Completely off.

Maybe it's a safeword. Hmmm...

Also, I would love to be able to say any of the "fertile land" 'dialogue'.

On the other hand:

"she crashes, you crashed her!"
"I'll be in my bunk"
"I can't KNOW that!"
"Might have been the losing side..."
"That seems to be the popular theory."
"She understands, she doesn't comprehend."
"too much hair!"

have worked quite nicely, and even sparked browncoat-type exchanges. Not the point of the thread, but still...


"Yeah, tell us where the stuff's at, so I can shoot ya."
That whole scene is awe-inspiring for writing.

I worked at a day care part time. That quote came up daily. So the three year olds didn't get it, it made them giggle anyways.

I also happen to like " I don't know what I'm saying I never know what I'm saying,"

Or a variation with "I don't know what YOUR saying I never know what YOUR saying."

I am ANOTHER "semi-muscular-man" wannabe!

Mostly my lines come out in times of good humor:

Watching some moron trying to out-speed the cops...
"where's that get fun?"

Passing comment to a roommate studying anatomy, stair landing, two in the morning: "The human body can be drained of blood in *.* seconds given adequate vacuuming systems."

All the time, nonplusses people: "Does that seem right to you?"

But, running for the bus, on an empty stomach and late for my unfinished final project, having not slept for almost 48 hours, there was a strange refrain that wouldn't leave my mind:

"Dear Buddha...please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket...and a plastic rocket bring me a pony and a plastic rocket...dear Buddha..."

I guess it was my brain's attempt at irony. (Given the tenants of Buddhism and my likelyhood of catching that bus).
Normally I don't engage it in conversation.

I got to use a Jayne quote I never thought I would be able to. Was sitting at an airport in Thailand waiting for my flight with this kid sitting opposite me just staring at me.. this kid didnt even blink, just kept staring. In the end I got jack of it and said "Shake your head boy, your eyes are stuck!" and it worked!

Loved it!

My apologies, for one.

Here's one I have been dying to use (but probably never shall)spoken as it was; slowly and with impeccable pronunciation:

"Every-man-there, go back inside--or I will blow, a new crater in this ti-ny moon."

If that's not Wash pwnage, Serenity should get some guns.

I actually DO say that. More often than I should, in fact. It's usually when I'm trying to brute-force something, or as a substitution for the "I need the bigger hammer" kind of comment while working on a car...

Not a problem, no need to apologize, but it was very nice. I was enjoying the ones we can't use because there have been several threads about quotes we have used and this was new.

For quite some time, I thought I would not have occasion to use "We applied the cortical electrodes but failed to get a response from either patient." Alas, lately one of my supervisors (about the only good one) has been getting through my loaner DVD set, and now when we find some unplanned occurance, or a lack of coordination amongst the worker bees, or other unforseen happenings, I can use that, where he then sniggers and agrees.

'No.'
'Yes.'
'No!'
'Yes!'

Alas, no such luck.

A quote I love but can't use:

"Now we have a boatful of citizens right on top of our... stolen cargo." Zoe's just fabulous.

Of course, the end of that exchange -

ZOE: Oh yeah, this is gonna go great.

MAL If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em.

ZOE: Shoot 'em?

MAL: Politely.


is very usable, but it hasn't come up for me yet.
