Here's the one I was gonna post. Take your pick, I guess:
"Do not see, the disease and wriggles, I obtained the question to have, was similar to her its peaceful elephant for a long time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmm, I don't see it. Can you give us a hint? :)

I'm pretty sure that's River mumbo-jumbo, but darned if I can make it out.

Hmm, how to give a hint without giving it away? Try these: for "do not see" read "see". For "wriggles" read "willies". For "for a long time" read "as long as".
P.S. I'm really liking this game, but it doesn't seem to be attracting a lot of participation. Maybe we should do a little primer on how to use Babel Fish. That might encourage a few more folks to give it a try.
P.P.S. Asarian, I'm still not getting yours either. Maybe it's just too short a line. It sort of feels familiar, if you know what I mean, but nothing's clicking...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm pointin' right at it!

Got it! :)
"See, morbid and creepifying I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like."
Bablefish left creepifying; but when I changed it to "creepy", I got kinda what you wanted (sans the elephant, btw; but close enough, I reckon).
Mine? It's from "Trash".
P.S. Yes, I like this game. It's like firefly hangman, only a mite more challenging.

Quote:Maybe if you spell it 'quiet-like"? Or maybe it's trad vs. simp? I've been using the simplified option, my own self. (Yes, I had to change 'creepifying' to 'creepy'. Wouldn't have been much of a challenge if I left that unchanged, would it?)

LOL. No, the "quite" was just me making a typo here. I did use trad, though. So that may have been it.
As for my quote, Mal says it.

Is it... "I hate to bring up our imminent arrest during your crazy time, but we gotta move"?

Well, just in the case that I am right, you can have this to think over:
"I did not think I recently the motion betrayed me in this first poetry the sisters."

Nope, that ain't it at all. :)
Extra hint: Mal to Saffron, near end of episode.
