Timely Fandom Quote #276
“Captain Malcolm Reynolds: We’re still flying.
Simon Tam: That’s not much.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds: It’s enough.”
– “Serenity” (Firefly Episode 1)
Hei hei friend; do you have a favorite quote or line from Firefly you'd like to sing the praises of?
Ohhhhhhhhhh yes. Far too many, though.
Though I don't like the film, there are a few good lines:
"I wasn't born a Shepherd, Mal."
This, I feel, sums Book up quite well, while also emphasising that he IS a Shepherd, despite his un-Christlike past.
"I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."
I love this line dearly, but it's somewhat soured by what happens just after.
"It ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross."
Godddddddddddddd 😭😭😭 continuing the albatross metaphor??? The fact that Serenity's design was based partly on birds so River is representing the ship as her good luck charm??????
"This isn't fear. This is anger." "Well, kind of hard to tell one from the other, face like yours."
First of all, autistic Simon confirmed. Second of all, Mal stop commenting on Simon's appearance challenge, level: impossible.
"Goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!" "Oh, god! I can't know that!"
Peak sibling from Mal and Kaylee, as per usual.
Now onto the show.
"Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle." - Mal, Our Mrs Reynolds
"The sun came out, and... I walked on my feet, and... heard with my ears... I ate the bits, the bits that stayed down and I work, I function like I'm a girl... I hate it because I know it'll go away!" - River, War Stories
"What am I?!" "You are my beautiful sister." "I threw up on your bed." "...yep. Definitely my sister." - River and Simon, War Stories
"Little soul, big world. Eat, sleep, and eat... many souls." "Cattle on the ship three weeks, she don't go near 'em! Suddenly we're on Jianying, and she's got a drivin' need to commune with the beasts?" "They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky and they remember what they are." "Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?" - River and Mal, Safe
"The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems." "See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with. Long as she does it quiet-like." River and Mal, Safe
"Well... deeply move yourself to blow out them candles so we can try a slice." - Jayne, Out of Gas
"Wash, you okay?" "Yeah, Mal, I'm fine." "You got a thing in your arm." ":) yeahhhhh." - Mal and Wash, Out of Gas
"Inara? Think you can stoop to being on my arm?" "Will you wash it first?" - Mal and Inara, Heart of Gold
"I would appreciate it if one person on this boat would not assume that I'm an evil lecherous hump." "Nobody's saying that, sir." "Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly." Mal, Zoë, and Wash, Our Mrs Reynolds
"We'd always hoped you two kids would get together. Who is she?" - Wash, Our Mrs Reynolds
"Just keep walkin', preacher man." - River, Jaynestown.
"My god! You're like a trained ape! Without the training." - Simon, Jaynestown.
"Enemies! You?? No, how can it be!" - Simon, Jaynestown.
"So, when we made love last night...." "When we what?!" "You really are such an easy mark." - Kaylee and Simon, Jaynestown.
"What are we doing?" "Oh! Crime." "Crime! Good. Okay, crime." - Simon and Kaylee, The Train Job.
"See, this is another sign of your tragic space dementia. All paranoid and crotchety, breaks the heart." - Mal, The Train Job.
"Hell, this job I would pull for free." "Then can I have your share?" "No." "When you die, can I have your share?" "Yes." - Mal and Zoë, The Train Job.
"You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here." - Jayne, The Train Job.
"Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in that engine room? Were there monkeys. Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?" - Mal, The Train Job.
"If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. One that they reserve for child molesters, and people who talk at the theatre." - Book, Our Mrs Reynolds.
"We're very private people." "The legs! I'd definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down. Her legs, and right where her legs... meet her back. That- actually that whole area. That, and- and above it." "Six gerslters crammed right under every cooling drive so that strain your primary artery function and you end up having to recycle secondary exhaust through a bypass system, just so's you don't end up pumping it through the main atmofeed and asphyxiatin' the entire crew! Now that's junk!" "Have you seen what she wears?? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?" - Zoë, Wash, Kaylee, Wash again, Bushwhacked.
"You starting a book club? What, are you tryin' to torture me?" - Mal, War Stories.
"You're down to ritual suicide, lamby toes." - Wash, War Stories.
"You're losing the high ground here, sweet cakes." "I'm sure you and Mal will take that ground and fortify it-" - Zoë and Wash, War Stories.
"They're good folk." "Can I start gettin' sexed now?" "Well, that one's kinda horrific." - Mal and Jayne, Heart of Gold.
"Oh, yes. He's a real beast! It's a wonder you're still alive..." - Simon, Bushwhacked.
"I figure that fella we run into did everyone on board. Killed 'em all. Then he decided to take a swim, see how fast his blood would boil out his ears." "You're a very 'up' person." - Wash, Bushwhacked.
"Permission to come aboard?" "You know, you ain't quite right." "That's the popular theory!" "Go on, get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan." "He takes so much looking after." - River and Mal, Objects in Space.
"She understands. She doesn't comprehend." - River, Objects in Space.
I'll leave off here, though I'll probably be reblogging it with lines I've forgotten. There's no particular order to these, just stream of consciousness. Thank you for the ask!!
Zoe: I know something ain't right.
Wash: Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.
You're in a dangerous line of work. Odds are you'll be under my knife again, often. So I want you to understand one thing very clearly: no matter what you do or say or plot, no matter how you come down on us, I will never, ever harm you. You're on this table, you're safe… 'cause I'm your medic. And however little we may like or trust each other, we're on the same crew. Got the same troubles, same enemies, and more than enough of both. Now, we could circle each other and growl, sleep with one eye open, but that thought wearies me. I don't care what you've done, I don't know what you're planning on doing, but I'm trusting you. I think you should do the same. 'Cause I don't see this working any other way.
─ Dr. Simon Tam, "Firefly"
ATLA Firefly AU Quotes
Various Firefly quotes said by our fave ATLA characters. ;)
Jet: Mercy is the mark of a great man! (stabs defeated opponent) I guess I'm just a good man. (stabs opponent again) Well ... I'm alright.
Sokka: We're not gonna die. We can't die, Buddy. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for Tui and La to let us die.
Jet: Can you stop him from bein' so cheerful? Katara: I don't believe there is a power in the verse that can stop Sokka from being cheerful.
Aang: I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.
Toph: Captain, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.
Zuko: Um, I’m trying to put this as delicately as I can… how do I know you won’t kill me in my sleep? Katara: Listen, you don’t know me, so I’m gonna say this once: if I ever kill you, you’ll be awake, you’ll be facing me, and you’ll be armed. Azula: Are you always this sentimental? Katara I had a good day.
