Tuesday, August 01, 2006 10:11:51 AM

1. Serenity

Wash: Everything looks good from here...Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "This Land." I think we should call it "your grave!" Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

2. The Train Job

Mal: Drunks are so cute.

Inara: What did I say to you about barging into my shuttle?
Mal: That it was manly and impulsive?

Mal: Have you got time to do my hair?
Inara: Out.

Jayne: You've got the light.. from the console.. keep you, lift you up. They shine like... ...little angels...

3. Bushwhacked

Kaylee: So I guess that makes us one man short.
Jayne: Little Kaylee's always one man short.

Jayne: Looked bigger when I couldn't see him.

Wash: The legs. Oh yeah, definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down. Her legs, and where her legs meet her back. Actually, that whole area. That, and above it.

Wash: Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

4. Shindig

Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?

Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay.
Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. "Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross..."

Mal: Use of a swo... what?

River: Sure, I got a secret. More than one. Don't seem likely I'd tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Dyton Colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talking loud enough for the both of us though, ain'tcha? I've known a dozen like you. Skipped off home early, running graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lock down, but less than you claim. And you're what? Petty thief with delusions of standing? Sad, little king of a sad, little hill.

Inara: How did I avoid that?
Mal: By being fast like a freak?

5. Safe

River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems.
Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

Jayne: I like smackin' 'em.

Jayne: "Dear Diary, Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy." "Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."

6. Our Mrs. Reynolds

Jayne: Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature.
Mal: How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?
Jayne: If I could make you purtier, I would.
Mal: You are not the man I met a year ago.

Mal: ...I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you.

Mal: How drunk was I last night?

Book: The special hell.

Saffron: I do know my bible, sir. On the night of their betrothal the wife shall open to the man as the furrow to the plow. He shall work in her again and again, til she bring him to his full. And rest him then upon the sweat of her breast.
Mal: Whoa. Good bible.

Mal: But she was naked! And all... articulate!

7. Jaynestown

Mal: Jayne?
Jayne: Yeah?
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something?

Wash: I think they captured him, though - you know...captured his essence.
Kaylee: Looks sort of angry, don't he?
Wash: That's kinda what I meant.

Busker: Jayne, The man we call Jayne, He robbedf rom the rich and he gave to the poor Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for, Our love for him now ain't hard to explain, The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne...

8. Out of Gas

Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe?
Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Jayne: Well, hey, you know. We'da been back first, except there's something wrong with Inara's shuttle. She done somethin' to it, Mal. Smells funny.
Inara: I told you, that's incense.
Jayne: So you say.

Mal: Yeah. Think the doc might not be wrong about that one. Just gonna need a few... You all gonna be here when I wake up?
Book: We'll be here.
Mal: 'kay. That's good...

More coming soon...
