- War Stories
Wash: "I don't want you to spare me, Mal. If you think you know what's happening then you tell me. You wouldn't spare Zoe if she were in this situation with you, would you? You would be planning, and plotting, and possibly scheming. So, whatever Zoe would do in this instance is what I wanna do. And you know why? Because no matter how ugly it gets, you two always come back. With the stories. So... I'm Zoe. Now... what do I do?" Mal: "Probably not talk quite so much."

- Badger
I got a secret. More'n one. Don't seem like I'd tell 'em to you, know, do it? Anyone off Dyton colony knows better'n to talk to strangers. You're talkin' loud enough for the both of us, ain't ya? I've met a dozen like you. Skipped off home early. Minor grift jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lockdown, but less than you claim. And you're, what? A petty thief with delusions o' standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.

- Here lies Zoe
Wash: "Don't know. I'm starting to like this poetry thing. 'Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower... somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross.'"

- Not Gonna Die
Mal: "We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so... very... pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die. Huh? Look at that chiseled jaw!"

- Chain of Command
Jayne: "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! Now we're finishing this deal, and then maybe, maybe we'll come back for those morons... got themselves caught... and you can't change that by getting all... bendy."

- Serenity
Book: "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. I believe... I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship."
