My obsession with quotes (Firefly/Serenity)
Okay, I am a big TV series/movie person. I'll be entertained by anything. I can go for drama, romance, musical, comedies, horror, mystery, thriller, animated, etc. You name it! I have recently discovered I have a thing for independent films (Hedwig and the angry inch, the eye, etc.) which is all good for me. What I love the most about a movie is the script. Give me a movie no one liked, with a good script, I'll love it. Although you can win me over with the soundtrack and maybe the plot since that does have strength to sway me over, but the script wins my heart and soul which is why I adore Sin City. I also thank every deity imaginable for Internet Movie Database for listing so many movies/tv series and their quotes. Allow me to get to the point, since this is my journal, I'd like to abuse of that power a little bit, if you don't mind :) I already entertain you with my erotic stories, I might bore you or worry you with the silly details of my life and now, I shall enlighten you, hopefully not bore you, and perhaps even make you laugh with the quotes of my favorite movies or T.V. shows just like I did with the Gilmore Girls entry. I love that show, whoever writes that script is a sarcastic comic genius. Now, I shall present quotes from a really good movie, "Serenity" that came from the series "Firefly" (which I unfortunately never watched until the movie. I am ashamed of the fact, but hey, at least I admit it) and it's only fair that I present quotes from both worlds. Ignore this entry if you wish, or laugh a little if you'd like. The world is a crazy screwed up place and you have to admit, we all need a little humor in our lives.So, only if you want, enjoy my picks of some of their funny quotes!
Firefly 'series' quotes:
Jayne Cobb: So like, never?
Book: Well, no.
Jayne Cobb: Not ever never?
Book: Some orders allow Shepherds to marry, but I follow a narrower path.
Jayne Cobb: But, I mean, you still got the urge. They don't... cut it off, or nothin'?
Book: Mm, no, I'm more or less intact. I just... direct my energy elsewhere.
Jayne Cobb: You mean like masturbating?
Book: I hope you're not thinking of taking orders yourself.
Jayne Cobb: Oh, yeah, that'll be the day.
Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next?
Zoe Washburne: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up.
Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.
Jayne Cobb: Wha - are you-are you sayin' she's a witch?
Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: Yes, Jayne. She's a witch. She has had congress with the beast.
Jayne Cobb: She's in Congress?
Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.
Jayne Cobb: [Mal is dressed as a woman] 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 Cobb: If I could make you purtier, I would.
Mal: You are not the man I met a year ago.
Inara Serra: Well, yes. So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress?
Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.
Inara Serra: And you'd know that because...?
Mal: You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.
Inara Serra: Let's keep it that way. I withdraw the question.
Jubal Early: You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?
Dr. Simon Tam: What'd he do?
Jubal Early: Who?
Dr. Simon Tam: The midget.
Jubal Early: Arson. The little man loved fire.
Jayne Cobb: Anybody remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife?
Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: Wacky fun.
Jayne Cobb: You wanna go, little man?
Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: Only if it's someplace with candlelight.
Mal: Well, I think I was pretty clear. What are you doing on my boat?
Saffron: But... you know I'm bequeathed to you...?
Mal: To-whubba-who?
Serenity 'movie' Quotes:
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Doctor, I'm takin' your sister under my protection here. If anything happens to her, anything at all, I swear to you, I will get very choked up. Honestly, there could be tears.
Dr. Simon Tam: [Reluctantly allowing River to go on a dangerous mission with the others] Remember, it is okay to leave them to die.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: It's of interest to me how much you seem to know about that world.
Shepherd Book: I wasn't born a shepherd, Mal.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: You have to tell me about that sometime.
Shepherd Book: [pause] No, I don't.
Kaylee Frye: Goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Oh, God! I can't *know* that!
Jayne Cobb: I could stand to hear a little more.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [about protective goggles] Fine, I'll wear 'em. But I'll look like an idiot.
Zoë: I should think you'd be used to that, sir.
Dr. Simon Tam: (facing a situation that might result in death) In all that time on the ship... I've always regretted... not being with you.
Kaylee Frye: With me? You mean to say... as in sex?
Dr. Simon Tam: I mean to say.
Kaylee Frye: To Hell with this. I'm gonna live! ((My favorite quote of them all!!))
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: I've staked my crew's life on the theory that you're a person, actual and whole, and if I'm wrong, you'd best shoot me now...
[River cocks the gun she is pointing at Mal]
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Or, we could talk some more.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: I know she meant to kill me 'fore the Doc put her to sleep, which how exactly does that work anyhow?
Dr. Simon Tam: Safeword. The people who helped me break River out - they had intel that River and the other subjects were being embedded with behavioral conditioning. They taught me a safeword, in case... something happened.
Kaylee Frye: Not sure I get it.
Dr. Simon Tam: A phrase that's encoded in her brain, that makes her fall asleep. If I speak the words, "Eta...
Jayne Cobb: Well don't say it!
Zoë: It only works on her, Jayne.
Jayne Cobb: Oh... Well, now I know that.
The Operative: That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [to Inara] Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Define "interesting".
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: [deadpan] Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die?
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [on the ship's intercom] This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode.
