"Firefly" The Message (2003)


Lieutenant Womack: [to Jayne] That hat makes you look like an idiot.

Jayne: [about his mother's homemade hat] How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don't you think?

River Tam: My food is problematic.
Jayne Cobb: Girl's a mind-readin' genius, can't even figure out how to eat an ice-planet.

Simon: This may come as a shock, but I'm actually not very good at-at talking to girls.
Zoë: Why, is there someone you *are* good at talkin' to?

[Simon is standing in front of a jar carrying a mutated cow fetus]
Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: Oh my God! It's grotesque! Oh, and there's something in a jar.

Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: [speaking directly to the cow fetus that is being passed off as an alien] Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race and we must live in harmony.

Inara Serra: The Lassiter is universally known. Fencing it is like... fencing the Mona Lisa.
Mal: Well - The Mona who?

Inara Serra: So, do aliens live among us?
Kaylee Frye: Yeah. One of them's a doctor.

Jayne: What'd y'all order a dead guy for?

Tracey: When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl - when you can't do that...
Zoë: You find someone to carry you.

Simon: And your eyes are...
Kaylee: Yeah, eyes, yeah?

Mal: Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carryin' a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is, die of old age before it finds you.

Mal: They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself.

Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: Man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Kaylee: [In Chinese] Why don't you tell the cow about its beautiful eyes?

Zoë: First rule of battle, little one, don't ever let them know where you are.
Mal: [comes running in shouting and shooting] Woo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of this? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on!
[dives for cover from an explosion]
Mal: Woo-hoo!
Zoë: 'Course there are other schools of thought.

Mal: Using corpses for smuggling is a time honored repulsive custom.
Jayne: Maybe it's gold.
Zoë: And maybe he was a friend of ours and you need to show a little respect.
Jayne: I got respect. I'm just saying...
[points at body]
Jayne: gold!

Simon: [to Kaylee] You manage to find the bright side of every single thing.

Kaylee Frye: [to Simon] Tell me more good stuff about me!

Mal: You wanna explain to me exactly why you got yourself all corpsified and mailed to me?

Tracey: Do you think I'm stupid?
Mal: In every way possible.

River Tam: [to Simon] You are such a boob.

Simon: Captain, I don't mean to
[walks to Tracey with stethoscope]
Simon: ... We may have a medical emergency here. This man appears to be in cardiac arrest.
Mal: What? Tracey, you havin' a heart attack? Don't look like he's havin' a heart attack.

Kaylee Frye: I'm glad I rated higher than dead bessie here.

River Tam: My food is problematic.

Mal: And you never seen a man more proud of his moustache than Colonel Obrin. I mean, in all my life, I will never love a woman the way this officer loved that lip ferret.

Simon: [looking at the "alien"] Yep. It's a cow fetus.

Lieutenant Womack: And really, I was just bluffing with that talk about arresting you. I mean, who needs that kind of paperwork? Skunk, light him on fire.
