(Chinese - "Holy mother of god and all her wacky Nephews") Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Based on a dictionary search of the impressionistic spelling of HawkMoth/Dangermoth posted elsewhere, I think Wash said:

Wo3 de5 ma1 he2 ta1 de5 feng1kuang2-de5 wai4sheng1 dou1.

My [I POSSESSIVE] mother and her [he/she/it POSSESSIVE] wacky nephew[s] all.

In "Firefly"-speak, this would probably be:
Wo duh mah huh tah duh fung kwahng duh wai shung do.

The "wo duh ma" for "Mother of God" or "My God" is, of course, the same as what's been used in several episodes.
