Favorite Firefly words and phrases...

[MEG Hal]

This show has so much personality, let's go over some of your favorite phrases and words they use...

Shiny
That would truly be a horrific sight.

 

[Crothian]

River from the episode Trash "Also, I can kill you with my brain."

 

[VorpalBunny]

I like the way they mixed Mandarin Chinese with everyday language.

IMO, Jayne had the best quotes:

"You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I beat you with until you realize who's in 'ruttin command here."

and my favorite: "I'll be in my bunk."

The way they explain it on the dvd is great about the languages....


"I'll be in my bunk" was great.

Also Jayne "What's in it for me?"
Mal "Nothing, they are whores"
Jayne "Whores?, Im in...

or something like that

 

[Heretic Apostate]

From the pilot, when they capture the Fed:

Mal: "Just scare him."
Jayne: "Pain is scary."

 

[Tsyr]

I rather like:

Mal: Now this is all the money Niska gave us in advance. You bring it back to him, tell him the job didn't work out. We're not thieves... well, we are thieves. But the point is we're not takin' what's his. Now we'll stay out of his way the best we can from here on in. You explain that that's best for everyone, okay?

Captured thug 1: Keep the money. Use it to buy a funeral. It doesn't matter where you go, or how far you fly. I will hunt you down, and the last thing you see will be my blade.

Mal: Darn. (kicks thug 1 into the engine intake)

Mal (To thug 2): Now, this is all the money Niska gave us in advance...

I also like: Wuh duh ma huh ta duh fung-kwong duh wai-shung doh... But some of the chinese is priceless in that show, if you can figure out what it means (I'm told the actors mangled it really badly, but there is a site that has pieced it out: http://fireflychinese.home.att.net/)

 

[Richards]

Wash, on a rare expedition to the field with Mal, only to be captured by an overwhelming number of armed enemies: “Oh look, and now I’m learning about ‘scary.’”

Later that same episode, Mal is weakened after being tortured for hours, and is now fighting the guy who tortured him.

Zoe, to others in the rescue party: “Leave them be. This is something the Captain needs to do for himself.”

Mal: “No it isn’t! No it isn’t!”

Johnathan

 

[Welverin]

Mal: Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back.

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?

 

[Crothian]

I'm listening to the commentary for Shindig, and it seems that the card game Jayne, Simon, and Book are playing has actual rules that were posted on the website. I can't seem to find them anywhere, anyone know where they might be?

 

[storyguide3]

Mal: "Jayne, my days of not taking you seriously have definitely reached a middle."

And who could forget "Crime. We're doin' crime."
