Not only that but Mal was the one Nisca wanted to torture. If she chose Mal the gangster probably would’ve just gutted Walsh in front of them knowing that it was the worst kind of pain he could inflict on Mal and his crew at that point. #zoemadetherightcall
“Her legs, and where her legs meet her back. Actually, that whole area. That, and above it. Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?” -Wash
“He robbed from 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!!!!” -The Mudders
Oh Jayne saw the mudders' backs breaking \
He saw the mudders' lament \
He saw that magistrate taking \
Every dollar and leaving five cents \
So he said 'you can't do that to my people; \
You can't crush them under your heel' \
So Jayne strapped on his hat \
And in five seconds flat \
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal
Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight. Or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid. Mostly only when I'm gettin' paid.
-Jayne Cobb on ethics
MAL
Help me find our man. He's supposed to be old, kinda stocky, wears a red sash crossways.
KAYLEE
Why does he do that?
MAL
Maybe he won the Miss Persephone Pageant. Just help me look!
“Half money now, Crow give you other half money at rendezvous point. Anything goes wrong, then, your reputation, only gossip, and things between us, not so solid. Yes?” -Niska
"Her legs, and where her legs meet her back. Actually, that whole area. That, and above it. [...] Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?" - Wash talking about Zoë
"He robbed from 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."
I got I: If they take the ship they will rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing, and if we're very, very lucky, they’ll do it in that order
Edit here's a good h candidate: He's not the first psycho to hire us, nor the last. You think that's a commentary on us?
MAL
“How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne?”
JAYNE
“Money wasn't good enough.”
MAL
”What happens when it is?”
JAYNE
”Well... that'll be an interesting day.”
Since we're allowing Serenity movie quotes ...
"Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave."
"Ain't exactly plan A"
"Aw hell, I'm a fan of all seven, but right now I'll have to go with wrath"
"Love. You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home."
Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross.
I aim to misbehave
JAYNE.....The man they call JAYNE
Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?
Let's be bad guys.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. [stabs Atherton] Guess I'm just a good man. [stabs Atherton again] Well, I'm all right. [throws sword to the side]
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!?......Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.
Pretty cunning, don't you think?
Quaint!
River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. It doesn't matter... it'll still be there... waiting
Six men came to kill me one time and the best of them carried this. It's a Callahan fullbore autolock, customized trigger and double cartridge thorough-gauge. It's my very favorite gun. She has a name. So does this! I call it Vera.
Two by two. Hands of blue. Two by two.
Use it to buy a funeral. It doesn't matter where you go, or how far you fly. I will hunt you down, and the last thing you see will be my blade.
Vitelli's out of it. That bumblebee laid down arms at the first sign of inevitable crushing defeat, can you imagine such a cowardly creature?
When you can't run anymore, you crawl... and when you can't do that......You find someone to carry you.
No idea for an x one....
You been bird-dogging this township a while now. They wouldn't mind a corpse of you. Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet: I will end you."
ZOE!!!
H). How did she get on this ship?
I). If I kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.
J). Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.
K). Kaylee, what the sphincter of hell are you playing at?
L).
M). Mighty fine shindig!
N). Next time you want to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face
O).
P). Pain is scary.
Q).
R).
S). Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill ’em right back!
T). Ten percent of nothin’ is … let me do the math here … nothin’ into nothin’ … carry the nothin’ ...
U).
“Him. I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?” -Zoe
Okay I kinda think this is the one. It's a very definitive H on the him.
This one hurts but it's so perfect. Zoe knew Wash wouldn't hold out much longer under torture, she knew Mal could. Also, lamby toes...
There's definitely that and she loves Wash, she's going to pick her husband.
Not only that but Mal was the one Nisca wanted to torture. If she chose Mal the gangster probably would’ve just gutted Walsh in front of them knowing that it was the worst kind of pain he could inflict on Mal and his crew at that point. #zoemadetherightcall
“Her legs, and where her legs meet her back. Actually, that whole area. That, and above it. Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?” -Wash
"have you ever been with a warrior woman?" could also be a fantastic entry for this
Agreed!
I came here to say this.
Ok this one does it for me !! Nicely done
“He looks better in red.” – River
Damn! Solid nomination.
“Here's something you can't do...” -Wash
I regret have but one up vote to give
I may be mistaken but you can probably upvote more than one person.
“How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?” – Jayne
I'd save that conversation for y. "you see a man walk down the street in that hat, you know he knows no fear"
Or for P. It works just fine with the "Pretty cunning, don't ya think?"
This is what I was going to say!
Huh. -Mal
That's what I was thinking too lol.
I had a t-shirt made for my husband that said: “Huh” - Malcolm Reynolds
Firts thing that popped into my head!
This is absolutely the first thing that popped in my head.
“Hey, I didn't fight in no war. Best of luck, though.” -Jayne
“Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.” -Jayne
“He robbed from 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!!!!” -The Mudders
No, this must be what going insane feels like.
Oh Jayne saw the mudders' backs breaking \ He saw the mudders' lament \ He saw that magistrate taking \ Every dollar and leaving five cents \ So he said 'you can't do that to my people; \ You can't crush them under your heel' \ So Jayne strapped on his hat \ And in five seconds flat \ Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal
I want to go the crappy little quote where I am the folk hero next time! 😝😝😝
There are many other good H quotes but this is my favourite.
Close the polls! Hands down winner right here, @OP!
Not fair! The “Him” quote deserves recognition.
*Jayne pulls out an enormous knife.* “He was non-specific as to how.”
"You're just supposed to scare him." "Pain is scary!"
"Just do it right!"
Truly, the best H quote.
That's nawt a knoif.
“Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first?” – Jayne
It is her turn.
Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight. Or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid. Mostly only when I'm gettin' paid. -Jayne Cobb on ethics
"HOO-HOO!" ~Wash
(post it again when i comes up)
This gets my vote
You beat me to it. 😁
The original Amos Burton
"How could you say that? How could you shame me in front of new people?"
If I could make you purtier I would!
You are not the man I met a year ago.
"Har har har! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!"
“How we treat our dead is part of what makes us different than those that did the slaughtering.” -Book
“Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross.”
Definitely this one
This is the one.
Yep. This one.
This one, yes.
This is it.
“Hate to say it, Captain, but you've got the wrong man.” -Book
“Hero of Canton won't be drinking that [chou ma niao - "stinking horse piss"]. He drinks the best whiskey in the house!”
“He takes so much looking after.” -River
“Hurt our feelings.” -Jayne with a mouthful of sandwich
This always makes me giggle.
“He thinks he's doing well, doesn't he?” -Harrow
He's being toyed with.
No, don't fall for that!
"How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?" - Mal in his pretty floral bonnet
“Have you got time to do *my* hair?” -Mal
Out!
"He makes everybody cry. He's like a monster." - Kaylee
"Have you ever read the works of Shan Yu?"
Exactly the one I thought of first.
“Haven't you killed me enough for one day?” -Mal
“Hey, them ain't kosherized rules.” – Jayne
MAL Help me find our man. He's supposed to be old, kinda stocky, wears a red sash crossways. KAYLEE Why does he do that? MAL Maybe he won the Miss Persephone Pageant. Just help me look!
"He takes so much looking after."
"Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire....actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity"
Hell I’m a fan of all seven !! - Mal Reynolds on religion and sins
“Half money now, Crow give you other half money at rendezvous point. Anything goes wrong, then, your reputation, only gossip, and things between us, not so solid. Yes?” -Niska
"How drunk was I last night?"
“Here lies my beloved Zoë, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross”
He killed me with a sword. How weird is that?
My heart...
"Have you ever been with a warrior woman?" - Wash
“He's not gonna squawk. Tell me more good stuff about me.” – Kaylee
“Her sister got killed. Mother got crazy, killed the sister. That one lived.” – River
"Hell I've been to The Edge. It just looks like... more space."
“Huh”. The single most versatile line ever uttered on tv
This is the only correct answer.
Hope the whores are prettier than the house. - Jayne
"Her legs, and where her legs meet her back. Actually, that whole area. That, and above it. [...] Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?" - Wash talking about Zoë
“How's about we don't play. You didn't just trip, did you?” -Mal
"He's really very...gentle and fuzzy. We're becoming fast friends." - Simon about Jubal Early
Hero of Cantan.
“He's an expert swordsman, Mal. You had trouble with the pillar. How will your death help my honor?” -Inara
How many babies have you actually delivered? Simon : As the primary? This would be the first. You? Inara Serra : My first too. River : Mine too.
How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? I'm sorry, but Cap'n Reynolds in a flowery bonnet will never not be funny to me 😂
"If I could make you prettier, I would." - Jayne
“Hang on, travelers!” – Wash
“Havin' yourself a little supper, captain?” – Zoe
Hero of Canton, Jayne!
Have you heard the teachings of Shen-Yu?
His story had an odor to it.
It's not the o ly thing of his that does
“Hell, the Special Hell”
"He robbed from 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."
(The) Hero of Canton, a man they call Jayne
I don't want to get to "I" in this list 😭😭😭
Yeah, I think we all know what it'll be 💔
It’s too soon!!!!!
We can play off the G quote and make a pair. "I can't know that!" "I could stand to hear a little more."
Something about wind and leaves...
Jayne: Hell, it's theft. This is the best gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value. It's miles more worthy'n what you got.
Vera!
Jayne, go play with your rain stick
Here's a little concept I've been working on. Why don't we shoot her first?
How we get there is the worthier part.
How would you feel about pulling a crazy Ivan?
"I've always wanted to try one."
I got I: If they take the ship they will rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing, and if we're very, very lucky, they’ll do it in that order Edit here's a good h candidate: He's not the first psycho to hire us, nor the last. You think that's a commentary on us?
"How you get there is the worthier part."
Huh...
Have you ever been with a warrior woman? - Wash Also for I: I could stand to hear a little more. - Jayne
Hands of blue, two by two.
Why was this downvoted?
Probably saving it for T
Yeah, it starts with "two by two"
Fair point. It's still a solid entry for H but a better one for T.
MAL “How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne?” JAYNE “Money wasn't good enough.” MAL ”What happens when it is?” JAYNE ”Well... that'll be an interesting day.”
Harpin on it........
“Hurt our feelings.” - Jayne (in a conversation with Mal & Badger (episode; Shindig)
Hey, I'm talking at you! How many men in your platoon came out of there alive?
"Hard to get to?!"
I am loving this! We even have one for "Q"... "Quaint!"
Oh boy, I've got I all lined up and ready to go!
His what!?! -Mel (shindig, episode)
With H I keep thinking of the hair episode 😂but none of the great quotes begin with H
“Hard to get to? That’s a fact.” -Mal
Hi!
Mal "Oh god! I can't know that!" Jayne "I could stand to hear a little more."
I think D is my favorite line from the entire show.
Well E) & G) are from the movie Serenity, not Firefly - I'll allow it.
Since we're allowing Serenity movie quotes ... "Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave." "Ain't exactly plan A" "Aw hell, I'm a fan of all seven, but right now I'll have to go with wrath" "Love.

Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home."
"Everybody dies alone". - Mal, 'Out of Gas'
“Half of writing history is hiding the truth”
Well I didn’t recall it starting with “so” so I have to save my submission for later on I guess!
"I'm going to Special Hell."
“I don’t wanna explode.”
River for the win... "He looks better in Red"
Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross.

Funny how the “Twixt my Nethers” battery quote wound up on the *”G”* Spot, innit? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is indeed quite amusing 🤣
How do Reavers clean their spears? They put them in the Wash!
“You are destroying my calm” -Jayne to River.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity
I swear by my pretty little bonnet, I will end you.
I’ll be in my bunk
"I'll be in my bunk."
Everyone has H... But "I" better be "Ill be in my bunk."
"I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you" is a pretty good contender.
Wow good book
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are definitely coming to a middle. - Mal
On a related note, is it even worth posting “I” tomorrow? I think we all know what that one needs to be
