I know, I know, I've done it, you've done it, we've all done it, but we're SORRY and we vow never to do it again.

But sometimes you misquote something and it's forEVer. Like I was just paging through the Firefly themed stuff on cafepress.com and found this:

"You are destroying my calm."

AUGHGHGHGH!

I wonder how many of those shirts have been made up and are being worn around right this very minute?!

Hopefully not too many.

And yes, I think this means I have much too much time on my hands.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I've seen "If something happens and I'm not back within the hour, you take this ship and come rescue me" in several places.

LOL! Just spotted this one:

EDIT: Well, poop. Guess they won't let you link to a design. Anyway it was funny and it was in the Shiny Shipments store. It's the one that starts, "AFTER SEEING SERENITY I'M NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN, JOSS."

This is kind of off topic, but I was wondering about a quote from the deleted scenes. It's the one where Mal catches Saffron stealing a food packet. Does anyone know what he says? That was always one of my favorite quotes from the series.

Edit: And for all those misquoters, please refer to this site: http://firefly.shriftweb.org/index.shtml

Whoa. Good Myth has all of the shooting scripts from the series. Always a good place to refresh your memory.

At least it's not destroying my clam...that's something. Oh I need coffee! I have actually offered to research someone's clam before ( obviously I meant claim) but hey typos happen. Mind you I'm no perfect quoter. Sometimes my brain rewrites stuff the way I want it:)

*comes in pushing coffee cart*
Just passing through. Did I hear someone ask for coffee?

*offers MSG her choice of several delightful flavors and types of coffee from the coffee cart*

(I know, I apologize for going way off-topic, but someone asked for coffee!)

As far as misquoting goes, I used to do it a lot in the beginning. I would get corrected, so I promised myself I would not quote anything unless I really knew it. I'm getting better, I promise!

With a word of warning that what's in the script isn't always what wound up on the screen.

Hmmm. Whoa! Good Myth is not calling them shooting scripts, they call them transcripts. So I wonder which they are? If they are accurate transcripts, then you should be able to go by them.

I skimmed through the entry for War Stories and this does seem to follow the shot episode instead of the script avaialable at the wiki. I didn't follow along with the episode so I can't vouch for the accuracy but it looks like good work.

There's a Jayne paraphrase in there somewhere. . .

"What Joss plans and what takes place. . ."
