It seems that alot of people here liked Firefly as much as I did. Despite it having less than a season what is your favorite quote from that show?

Mine is:
Wash- "If I dont get anything more from kaylee in the engine room, this landing is gonna get real interesting."
Mal- "Define Interesting."
Wash- "Oh god, oh god we're all gonna die?"

Jayne: "Do you know what the chain of command around here is? It's the chain I go and beat you with until you realize who's ruttin' in command!"

Something like that.

Also, I'd swear that this has been done before.

Zoe: "Take me sir. Take me hard."

Jayne: "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eatin' steak,"

Wash: "That sounds like science fiction."
Zoe: "We're on a spaceship, dear."
Wash: "So?"

Mal: "You wanna run this ship?"
Jayne: "Yes!"
Mal: "Well... you can't."

<Jayne is impaled through his leg and pulled off the Mule but hangs on for dear life>
Jayne (to Mal) "YOU SHOOT ME IF THEY TAKE ME!"
<Mal points a gun in Jayne's direction>
Jayne "Wa.. don't shoot me first!"

There's a lot of good quotes from the series and the movie but then it's always been that kind of show.

One of the best things was Nathan Fillion introducing the out-takes with a hand-held camera: "There is no humour. We're very professional and dedicated to our work [slight pause as he fiddles with something] How do you turn this fucking thing off?"

I haven't seen much Firefly but what I have seen has been pretty good.

This part made me lol the most though

*Wash, playing with plastic dinosaurs.*
Wash's Stegosaurus: Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "This Land."
Wash's Allosaurus: I think we should call it "your grave!"
Stegosaurus: Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Allosaurus: Har har har! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!
Stegosaurus: Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

From the episode with the tinfoil covered brothel. I forget the name.

Simon; "River doesnt mean to hurt anyone" (might be exactly what was said coz i havent watched firefly in a while)

Jayne; "Anyone remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife?"

Zoe; "River wouldn't hurt anyone"

Jayne; "Butcher's knife!"

I think one of the best is when there playing that weird basketball game in the hold and the alarm goes off.

Zoe: "Proximity alert, we must be coming up on something."
Wash: "Oh my god!! What can it be? We're all doomed!!! Who's FLYING this thing?!!!!" *drops the mock hysteria* "Oh right, that would be me. Uh, back to work."

Oh goodness yes, Wash does have some of the absolute best quotes from the entire series.

Book: "If you touch that girl, you'll go to the special hell. The one reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theatre,"
*Mal walks away.*
Book: "The special hell!"

I'm not sure if that's exactly what Book said, but it was something to that general effect.

Pretty much anything Jayne says is comic gold - like the one when Mal got knocked out after kissing Saffron and they're talking about how her lipstick must be drugged. Jayne goes "Well, that's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth." Everybody just pauses for a second and then they keep on talking. LMAO

The episode with Saffron are my favurites. Anyone else notice that the actress that plays Saffron has the body of a girl from an anime porn movie? I mean like short, cute face, and a pair of knockers you could lose your watch down.

You both win the internet.

The Assassin: Are you willing to die for that belief?
Mal: I am.
*shoots the assassin*
Mal: Of course, that ain't exactly plan A.

OR... OR... Yes, I have more.

The Assassin: Do you know what your sin is Mal?
Mal: Personally, I'm a fan of all seven.

*Mal opens the vault*
Zoe: At last, we can finally retire and give up this life of crime.

Show should not have been cancelled.

Her body isn't that unbelievable. I'm a huge fan of Christina Hendricks because she doesn't have the typical Hollywood body. She gives me hope for being an actress, because I'm of the same body type. It's nice to see someone else who's not a size 2.

Crim1; "I think ya'll gonna give me a little one-on-one time with the mrs"
Jayne; "Oh, i think you might wanna reconsider that last part. see i married me a POWERFUL ugly creature"
Mal looks up, wearing a dress; "How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?"
Jayne; "If i could make you prettier I would"
Mal; "You are not the man i met a year ago!"

You forgot the best part of that:
Mal: "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you,"

River: "The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given the right vacuum,"
Mal: "See, morbid and creepifying I can deal with, long as she's quiet about it,"

After the townspeople tie River to the post to light her on fire:
River: "Postholer. Digging holes for posts,"

Wash: "Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next?"

Zoe: "Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up."

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