[edit] River Tam

  • [Sobbing] Put a bullet to me. Bullet in the brain pan. Squish!
  • People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

[edit] Hoban "Wash" Washburne

  • I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
  • Let's go back to the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90-pound girl, cuz I don't think that's ever gonna get old.

[edit] Jayne Cobb

  • Explode!? I don't wanna explode!
  • [The crew prepares for a payroll robbery] Shiny! Let's be bad guys.
  • Mal, she is starting to damage my calm!

[edit] Mr. Universe

  • It was a very beautiful ceremony. Lenore wrote her own vows. I cried. Like a baby. A hungry, angry baby.
  • [Watching the video of River taking down dozens of men in a bar.] You guys always bring me the very best violence.
  • Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on. From here to the eyes and the ears of the 'verse, that's my motto. Or at least it would be, if I start having a motto.
  • Can't stop the signal, Mal. Everything goes somewhere, and I go everywhere.

[edit] Dialogue

Mal: How about you, darling, ready to go?
River: There's no pattern to the pebbles here… It's all completely random. I tried to count them but you drove too fast. Hummingbird.
[brief silence]
Mal: Right, let's go.
[Preparing to leave the ship]
Mal: Understand your part in all this?
River: . . . Do you?
Mal: This is what I do, darlin'. This is what I do.
Mal: [Over intercom] This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode.
[Mal's Mule crashes into Serenity's bay. Simon, who stayed behind, rushes to River asking if she's all right.]
River: I swallowed a bug.
. . .
[Kaylee, who also stayed behind, rushes to Simon.]
Kaylee: [to Simon] Are you okay?
Mal: Is he okay?!
Zoe: Cap'n didn't make 'em fugitives.
Kaylee: But he coulda made 'em family! 'Steada keepin' Simon from seein' I was there. When I carried such a torch, and we coulda...goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!
Mal [not a little shocked]: Oh, God! I can't know that!
Jayne: I could stand to hear a little more.
[After the crew, eavesdropping on a 'wave between Mal and Inara, sees Inara invite the crew to join her at the companion training house]
Wash: Inara. Nice to see her again.
Zoe: So... trap?
Mal: Trap.
Zoe: Are we going in?
Mal: Oh, it ain't but a few hours out.
Wash: Yeah, but, remember the part where it's a trap?
. . .
Kaylee: But how can you be sure Inara don't just wanna see you? Sometimes people have feelings. And I'm referring here to people.
Mal: You all were watching, I take it?
Kaylee: Yes.
Mal: Did you see us fight?
Kaylee: No.
Mal: Trap.
Mal: She is a mite unpredictable. Mood swings, of a sort.
The Operative: It's worse than you know.
Mal: It usually is.
The Operative: That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain.
Mal: The way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it.
[He turns to Inara.]
Mal: Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.
[Mal and the crew watch a holographic report on the Mirandans' fate.]
Dr. Caron: There's 30 million people here, and they just let themselves die.
[Everyone jumps at the sound of a brutal attack in the distance.]
Dr. Caron: I have to be quick! About a tenth of a percent of the population had the opposite reaction to the Pax. Their aggressor response increased beyond madness. They have become…
[A crash is heard in the background, now closer]
Dr. Caron: [sobs] Well, they've killed most of us. And not just killed… they've done things…
Wash: [Realises] Reavers... They made them.
Dr. Caron: I won't live to report this, but people have to know. We meant it for the best… to make people safer.
Mal: This report is maybe twelve years old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried till River dug it up. This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear because there's a whole universe of folk who are gonna know it, too. They're gonna see it. Somebody has to speak for these people. You all got on this boat for different reasons, but you all come to the same place. So now I’m asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people…better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
. . .
Jayne: Shepherd Book used to tell me, "If you can't do somethin' smart... do somethin' right."
[As the Reavers batter the entrance to the crew's final stand, Simon turns to a shaking Kaylee.]
Simon: My one regret in all of this is never being with you.
Kaylee: With me? You mean to say, as in... sex?
Simon: I mean to say—
[Kaylee cocks her gun, with determination.]
Kaylee: Hell with this. I'm gonna live!
[the Operative manages to stab Mal with his sword.]
The Operative: Do you know what your sin is, Mal?
Mal: Aw, hell, I'm a fan of all seven. [headbutts the Operative and pulls the sword out.] But right now, I'm gonna have to go with wrath.
[Jayne emerged from his quarters wearing many weapons]
Mal: I don't plan on any shooting taking place on this job.
Jayne: Yeah well what you plan and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar.
Mal: No grenades.
Jayne: Huh? Awww...
Mal: NO grenades.
[Later, as they're being chased by an armored vehicle full of Reavers]
Jayne: [says pointedly to Mal] Boy, sure would be nice if we had some GRENADES, don't you think?
