Quote of the Day


Bandit: Pardon me for intruding, but I believe y’all carrying something of mine.

Jayne: T’ain’t your’n!

Bandit: Did you think we wouldn’t find out you changed your route? You gonna give us what due us, and every damn thing else on that boat. And I think maybe you’re gonna give me a little one-on-one time with the missus.

Jayne: Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature.

Mal: How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?

Jayne: If I could make you purtier, I would.

Mal: You are not the man I met a year ago.

(Mal and Jayne draw their guns)

Mal: Now think real hard. You been bird-dogging this township a while now. They wouldn’t mind a corpse of you. Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Simon: Captain… why did you come back for us?

Mal: You’re on my crew.

Simon: Yeah, but you don’t even like me. Why’d you come back?

Mal: You’re on my crew. Why we still talking about this? (walks off) Chow’s in ten. No need to dress.

Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?

Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Mal: Ain’t we just. Sorry to interrupt, folks. Y’all got something that belongs to us and we’d like it back.

Patron: This is a holy cleansing. You cannot think to thwart God’s will.

Mal: Y’all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I’m not saying you weren’t easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn’t want to come in the first place. Man’s lookin’ to kill some folk. So really it’s his will y’all should worry about thwarting. (to Simon) Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin’ folk is near miraculous.

Simon: Yes, I’m very proud.

Mal: Cut her down.

Patron: That girl is a witch.

Mal: Yeah, but she’s our witch. So cut her the hell down.

Quote of the Day


Simon: Hodgeberries… Do you remember when we found those giant hodgeberry bushes on the Cambersons’ estate? And we thought they’d grown wild, but…Long while ago.

River: I took you away from there.

Simon: No.

River: I know I did. You don’t think I do, but… I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and… some of it’s made up, and… some of it can’t be quantified, and… there’s secrets.

Simon: It’s okay.

River: But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It’s hard for you. You gave up everything you had…

Simon: Mei mei… Everything I have is right here.

River: You need to eat. Keep up your strength. We won’t be here long. Daddy will come and take us home. And I’ll get better… I’ll get better.

(Simon eats another berry)

Simon: These are better than the Cambersons’ berries.

River: They are. Except they’re poison.

(Simon spits out the berries)

River: (laughing) He believed her. Made a face.

Simon: You are such a brat!

Zoe: You sanguine about the kind of reception we’re up to receive on an Alliance ship, Cap?

Mal: Absolutely…. What’s sanguine mean?

Zoe: Sanguine. Hopeful. Plus, point of interest, it also means bloody.

Mal: Well, that pretty much covers all the options, don’t it?

Kaylee: We’re headed for help… right?

Zoe: Captain’ll come up with a plan.

Kaylee: That’s good. Right?

Zoe: Possibly you’re not recalling some of his previous plans.

Quote of the Day

(Jayne is going through Simon’s things, and stops to “read” from his diary.)

Jayne: “Dear Diary, Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy.” (flips page) “Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever.”

Quote of the Day


Mal: Hey. Stay with me, Shepherd.

Book: That’s… that’s quite a lot of blood, isn’t it?

Mal: Just means you ain’t dead.

Book: Afraid I might be needing a preacher.

Mal: That’s good. You lie there and be ironical.

Quote of the Day


Mal: This is the last time. Last time with cows. Hear there was an idea regarding beagles? They have smallish droppings?

Zoe: I believe so, sir. Also, your disreputable men are here.

Mal: Better go take their money.

Kaylee: Morning, you two.

Inara: Don’t usually see you two out and about planet-side.

Simon: Yeah, we’re… we’re trying something different today. River, be careful with that… that’s, um… What is that?

Kaylee: It’s a post-holer. You dig holes. For posts.

Simon: It’s, uh, it’s dirty. And sharp. Let’s come over here.
