There is a special Hell waiting for them.

I read it was a female Fox executive who had no faith in sci--fi ratings.

Every line on this show is a potential great quote/reference. As well as a fav.

I wanted to like your comment but then I saw the like count.

Truth

And do you love him? - Alliance I don't see how that's relevant. - Zoe Well, he is your husband. -Alliance

Jayne: Well, as a rule, I say girlfolk ain't to be trusted. River: Jayne is a girl's name.River is the only one that can instantly shut Jayne down hard. Zoe can a bit but there's still conflict. Enter River and he collapses.

jrs689 i can't believe the missed that one!

@mike sixx TOO MUCH HAIR

Zoë : Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killin'? Book : Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

close but he says "I was there son...."

I loved the episode with Book's other worldly hair!

My favorite!!!

You can come out river. No, too. much. hair.

Snot at the party: Last year was better. Kaylee: Why? What did they have last year? Snot: Standards.

Fine, don't make yourself sick.

I want to find a woman who looks at me the way Kaylee was looking at that buffet table.

@@txgunguy2766 You just want someone wot'll call yer "Cap'n Tightpants"

@@hellacoorinna9995 I don't care what she calls me as long as she looks at me like Kaylee's looking at the buffet table.

"Were I un-wed I would take you in a manly fashion."

Everyone deserves a friend like Wash. RIP.

They got boy whores! Ain't that thoughtful?

LOL... I got to use this line in real life to cheer up a friend... she giggled like a school girl

Simon: "Now you're quoting the captain."

Very well said, Shepherd Book. Just look at our circumstances today. RIP Ron Glass

Reminds me of how much fun Terry Pratchett, somewhere on Discworld, got out of the fact that we'd believe a bunch of ppl who fix their own rules, claiming to have our best interest in mind.

And Crusade...

Mykl Langridge well you’re not wrong.

Abby Shepherd I was waiting for this one!

Funny my grandfather you say that exept he would end it with "it's only fair."

Have said this to people myself, many times.

The one thing I dislike about Serenity, no, there are two: I really missed the song. But that must ve had legal reasons, I guess... but how could they kill Wash!?! Why?!?

@@Weirdkauz Whedon had to kill more than one main character from the show since he never got around to doing it on the second season of the series. He's like that.

This came out when I was getting in the truck in '05 . I used this line as my power statement.

IDK, Book's Special Hell speech still strikes cords....

@@Weirdkauz The actors had other commitments. Fair play, the series ended and they looked for other work, but did come back for the movie. Just couldn't commit to more than that, so Whedon used it to up the stakes narratively, shaking people up with a few main character deaths that you're not sure if they'll actually make it or it all goes "Rogue One" on us. But, yeah, I read that it was to do with the actors and contracts and long-term commitments. If there'd have been a Serenity 2, Wash wouldn't have been back - the actor had other work - so might as well put a proper ending on it, and use that fact narratively.

I totally get what Mal means there

@@arissantorisonmars9271 Everyone does. It was written that way, to make people feel clever when it really isn't. Neat trick.

@@VeritasEtAequitas I know what you mean, but compared to dialogue in... well, basically every other tv show out there, it is pretty clever. Very few writers in the tv world have the chops to write something like this, which is a sad reality in itself, but hey, what are you gonna do.

@@VeritasEtAequitas Easy for you to say. But I doubt you'd be capable of writing something like that.

@@larrysmith2638 He probably wouldn't be, but he's right about people wisely musing on dialogue as if they're among the rarefied few to understand it, when in reality this stuff is written by professionals trying very hard to make everyone understand it. KZfaq comments are full of people with the "IS NO-ONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT" or "AM I THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE" and I just think... no, you're not the only one, we all watched the same fucking clip you're talking about

Then she does it again a little later with even less effort.

I was gonna post that one. It's been my favorite line since I first heard it... followed by the one where he kicks that guy into the engine. 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. Point is, we’re not taking what’s his. Now we’ll stay out of his way best we can from here on in. You explain that’s best for everyone, okay?" Crow: "Keep the money. Use it to by 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." {he kicks him into the intake engine} Mal: "Now this is all the money Niska gave us in advance-" Niska thug: "Oh yeah, I’m good. Best thing for everyone. I’m right there with you."

"Start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90-year old... man."

@@Assassinus2 "... with man boobs. Oh man."

@@Assassinus2 what man

My ex named one of my mountain bikes Vera. I washed it up nicely before a race.

Jayne and Vera is still a better love story than Twilight.

That one is definitely a favourite. 😂

No, that was from "Objects in space"

"I cannot abide useless people."

@@RaistliniltsiaR I really hope that guy got some tail. Twinky-eyed silver fox, Kaylee should have taken him behind the hover-bike sheds

Everyone always remembers the pretty floral bonnet line, bit the lead-up to it is easily just as good.

Simon: You're like a trained ape, only without the training.

explode? i dont wanna explode!

Do you really need all those grenades?

We're robbing the place, not occupying it.

"Are we going to crash again?" Hope I got the quote right - it's been a while...

"Just get her on the ground." "That's going to happen pretty definitely!"

Bonnie Lambeth I kind of like the leadup a bit more. Robber: Then maybe a little alone time with the missus there. Jayne: Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you. See, I married myself a powerful ugly creature. Mal: Now how can you say that? In front of new people! Jayne: If I could make you purdier, I would. Mal: You are not the man I met a year ago.

Agreed!

Big damn heroes

She's in congress?..

It's cold out there. I don't want to get left.

The best

+GameCentral UK One of my favs

+GameCentral UK I was wondering how that didn't make the list, that's my favorite line along with "Am I the only one that remembers when she tried to kill me with a butcher knife?"

+GameCentral UK In my opinion, that line is just one of Whedon's many homages to Blake's 7.

lol was referenced on castle too XD I loled so hard at that

@@Calriec Blake?

I laughed a lot more than I should've at that scene! LOL

Jaynestown E7 Actor Kevin Gage brings Stitch Hessian best line ever while beating the Doctor, " 'Sir' !?! Look at me, you pantywaist idjit! I just spent the last four years steamin' in a hotbox, and you're 'sirrin' ME ?!? ".

Especially delivered in Zoe's awesome deadpan face and voice!

+Douglas Mitchell, I don't know. I think it was when she asked Wash, "Remember that sex we were planning to have ever again?"

+Douglas Mitchell well something about that's just downright unsettlin'

+Malcolm Reynolds Can you not do that while --- ever!

"Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing."

The lines are characteristic of Whedon et al. It only lasted one season because it was betrayed by an evil alliance called Fox which was run by untalented, unintelligent, and incompetent managers (who probably wore blue gloves).

Joss Whedon

Because Fox’s writers and show runners are smart. Their executives? Not so much.

because it was the best...and they never should have cancelled it...

cause its the best of all time

I'm the same, but sadly those opportunities are infrequent unless you have a group of highly unstrustworthy friends. But hey, my sister got me a T-shirt with that qoute for Christmas, so that's nearly as good as getting to say it :P

Playing Munchkin with my friends gives an over abundance of opportunities to use the phrase.

And "Risk"

@@jlysaght3679 And "Illuminati". They have special rules that cover cheating.

How did "every man go back inside or we will blow a new crater in this little moon", a grand entrance delivered by one Mr. Alan Tudyk, not make this list

Fuckin EH!

mike sixx I aim to misbehave is Serenity as well

"When do we go to the crappy town where I'm a hero?"

"Jayne, why is there a statue of you lookin' at me like I owe it money?"

Wash: "I think they captured him though. You know. Captured his essence." Kaylee: "Looks sorta angry, don’t he?" Wash: "That's kinda what I meant."

Now I know what going mad feels like.

@@RaibDarkin *The Hero of Canton starts* No, this is what going mad feels like.

*at last

I aim to misbehave. Plus Book's whole death scene

But, that girl's a witch! Yeah, but she's our witch. So, cut her the hell down!

it'll still be there... HIDING

@mike sixx Zoe's reaction is even better.

@@maaaaaay Doesn't she say "It'll still be there ... waiting..."?

@@Frankie2012channel crap, probably haha

@@Frankie2012channel ...that she does! :) "Scary hair!"

+Major Role thanks, for mentioning. I laughed really hard on this))

I love the way she says "oh".

What really sells that moment for me is the mix of genuine surprise and deadpan matter-of-fact-ness when Gina Torres delivers that second line.

One of the best quotes in anything for me

i forgot the exact quote but its when mal was all but dead. and he" s like "you wanna see the real me now"?

Which I suppose means that Bester was as lousy a lover as he was a mechanic, if Kaylee had the ability to notice anything about the engine.

And from Serenity: Mal: He offered to pay you, didn't he? Why didn't you take it? Jayne: He didn't offer enough. Mal: What happens when someone does? Jayne: Well... That'll be an interesting day.

@@NemoConsequentae I have definitely watched Firefly a lot of times because I think I know that exchange nearly word for word. "Why didn't you turn on me, Jayne?" "Money wasn't good enough." "What happens when it is?" "Weeellll... that'll be an interesting day." "(I) imagine it will."

Hilarious that in the movie, the guy chasing them says “Let’s talk. I’m unarmed…” Mal: “Good!” and shoots him.

@@szahmad2416 I think Mal is my favorite, but I do like River and Zoe.

​@@szahmad2416 I think that Mal knowing he's an assassin makes that an even playing field in Mal's mind.

htwingnut you misspelled "impotence"

Joss really needs to find a network to carry the show, seriously.

If you watched the 10th Anniversary special, the show was gonna get DARK. Even with Inara dying....

You gotta wonder is Wash and Book would have lived if the series was still playing and the movie hadn't happened...

Piss take.. the thing is the actors are just that litte too old for the roles now, like Orlando for Legolas it looks like a joke. It's a piss take that they didn't get to finish it, Firefly was so unique!

A shamefur dispray!!! Unfortunately this. just look at Nathan Fillion, he's a chubby now.

"The girl is a witch!" -"Yeah, but she's OUR witch"...*Mal cocks shotgun, aiming it at the crowd of crazies*..."So cut her the hell down."

i m not an idiot though, i wear body armor !

Actually used that one once in a real situation too. Love me some firefly.

Love the grenades one: not one single simple character on this show. Three cheers for Jayne.

Gulf 1?

When I was in the 'Stan in 2010 the Aid station had a placard of that statement hung in the waiting area.

Julia Linne he might be harbering some resentment for putting his man through our engine

YES 😂

There's a comic book dedicated to that subject ;)

So does everyone who watched this show :(

darkmarc0689 :O source/name? :)

rauke The Shepherd's Tale by Zack Whedon from Dark horse comics. There are quite a few firefly comics if ur interested en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_comics

NorthForkFisherman Insert arrow/bullet to the knee joke here.

Love em

It looked like Miranda...

Jus ''nother gorram buffer panel.

And in the same scene, after Mal picked the guy’s pocket, explaining to Inara: “They made the money off of the backs of hard-working sleeps, but don’t worry, he won’t notice until after he’s had his second drink.” Gets tapped on the shoulder by the same guy. Without looking, says “Good drinker, that one!” And turns to fight him, starting a brawl.

Yup.

FOX has always been controversial, however Firefly being taken of the air is the single biggest reason I'll be annoyed with them forever!

I dream of a new series with all the original cast, set in the time between the end of the series and the movie Serenity. So many unanswered questions, so many new possibilities!

Jim Cid Probably will never happen, not with Joss Weadon anyways. He's too busy making billion dollar movies right now.

Dimitri Sainis Sadly true. However, we might someday see a movie or series placed in the Firefly universe; remember the original Star Trek was cancelled after a few seasons and now look at the franchise!

We love you and miss you Ron, see you again when it's our turn... can't stop the signal.

Totally agree; all those moments we could have had, and how we would have come to know those characters. We can only remember what we have, and imagine the rest.

Well, we have a more or less-large series of Firefly-Comics wich dive deeper into the Universe and tell us of the fate of the crew.

And right after he makes that pretty speech, something falls off the ship and he's like, "What was that?"

Best.

@@sunsetarts Pretty sure it was that primary buffer panel again...

Actually, I'm guessing that at least 98% of the people watching this were reciting all these lines from memory.

THIS is how the SHIP in a series becomes a character in and of itself!

The funny thing is that "Vera" on Serbian language means faith.

And then Mal: "Well, my days o' not takin' you seriously are certainly comin' to a middle."

...you can look it up later...

justme man Stop it, Ron!

This is one of my favorites and I mutter it to myself a lot

Whedon said he never wanted to kill him off, he was one of the characters he said he never would kill off, but ue did it because the show got cancelled.

He did it because doing a movie has "certain requirements", his words.

larmoth401 He did it because he could just like when he killed Fred. I hate you, Whedon! Well, "hate" may be too strong - but I dislike you really a lot. Sometimes.

larmoth401 I remember him saying that if he knew that Firefly definitely wasn't coming back after Serenity, then he wouldn't have killed Wash off. I think he said it at the 10th anniversary Firefly Comic-Con panel.

Everyone complains about Wash getting killed off (R.I.P. Wash) but what about Sheperd Derrial Book?

+Moxica of course I meant " hear" not here

You got it right the first time.

Ain't they just?

I agree, Jack

***** That one's probably my second favourite. Top has to be "You wanna run this ship?!" "Yes..." Well... ... You can't..."

Grigeral Haha yes! That's one of my favorite ones as well! Jayne is awesome!! :D

Jayne: We're gonna explode? I don't want to explode..

picking a favorite is hard but one of mine is definitely: "If you take sexual advantage of her, you will go to a very special Hell. one reserved for child molesters, and people who talk in the theater."

"Big Damn Heroes!"

Last one is a blooper.

my favorite quote right there. It's right up there with Zoe asking the captain to make Kaylee stop being cheerful, and he says, "Ain't a power in the verse can make her stop."

Ha ha...Yup!!!
