A couple of the million reasons I love Firefly

[pdroz]

Mal: "Well look at this. 'Pears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? "
Zoe: "Big damn heroes, sir."

Mal: "Say there, doc - Now don't you think you're takin' this persecution complex of yours a mite far? Why don'tcha just... step down off the pyre. "
Simon: "It's a stake, sir. Not a pyre."
Mal: "Cut her down."
Patron: "The girl is a witch!"
Mal: (cocks bigass shotgun) "Yeah, but she's our witch. So cut her the hell down."

God I love this show. Great birthday present Rach!!
