While looking through IMBD's quotes, I came across this:

[another first season opening credits narration]
Mal : Here's how it is: Earth got used up, so we terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with new technologies, some not so much. Central Planets, them was formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight it, among them myself. I'm Malcolm Reynolds, captain of the Serenity. Got a good crew: fighters, pilot, mechanic. We even picked up a preacher, and a bona fide companion. There's a doctor, too, his genius sister from some Alliance camp, so they're keeping a low profile. You got a job, we can do it, don't much care what it is.

and

[Opening narration; first lines spoken in series]
Book : After the Earth was used up, we found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earths were terra formed and colonized. The central planets formed the Alliance and decided all the planets had to join under their rule. There was some disagreement on that point. After the War, many of the Independents who had fought and lost drifted to the edges of the system, far from Alliance control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying.

What can you tell me about these lines? Where were they, and is there any video/audio files online with them?

Thanks

These were the spoken introductions for the original broadcast shows. The RealMedia versions you can download at http://www.versaphile.com/download/firefly.html all have the introductions, except for the three episodes never broadcast in the US ("Heart of Gold", "Trash" and "The Message").

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

You can also get both intros and some shiny quotes from this site:
