Serenity Top 20 Quotes
Okay. My copy of the DVD is temporarily lent out, but you know, I can still do this! 20 funny quotes from one (non-comedy) film. Should be easy!
1. WASH: "This landing's going to get pretty interesting." MAL: "Define interesting." WASH: "God, oh God, we're all going to die?"
2. WASH: "It's okay! I'm a leaf on the wind!" MAL: "What does that even mean!?"
3. OPERATIVE: "I want to settle this like civilised men. I'm not threatening you. I'm unarmed." MAL: "Good!" (MAL shoots him).
4. JAYNE: "We can't be thinking on revenge if we're gonna get through this." ZOE: "Do you really think any of us are going to get through this?" JAYNE: "....I might..."
5. MAL: "Do you want to run this ship!?" JAYNE: "Yes!" MAL: "....Well.....you can't!"
6. JAYNE: "Gee, it sure would be nice if we had some GRENADES right now, don't ya think?" (Okay, that one only works in context).
7. JAYNE: "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 getting paid. Mostly just when I'm getting paid."
8. KAYLEE: "We're going on a year now, and I ain't had nothing twixt my nethers that weren't run on batteries." MAL: "Oh God! I can't know that!" JAYNE: "...I could stand here a little longer."
9. MR UNIVERSE: "I cried like a baby. A hungry, angry baby."
10. MAL: "Remember, if anything happens to me, or if I'm not back within the hour, you take this ship, and you come, and you rescue me." ZOE: "What, and risk my ship?"
11. MAL: "Dear Buddha. Please bring me a pony, and plastic rocket..." (Much funnier when you see him in the costume...)
12. OPERATIVE: "You can't make me angry." INARA: "Please. Spend an hour with him."
13. MAL "...and if I'm wrong, you best shoot me now." (RIVER cocks the gun at him) "...Or we could talk more..."
14. KAYLEE: "I didn't plan on going out like this." SIMON: "I didn't plan any of this. All I wanted to do was keep River safe. I spent so much time on Serenity, denying anything I wanted. And my one regret in all of this...is never being with you." KAYLEE: "You mean to say...as in....sex?" SIMON: "I mean to say." KAYLEE "....To hell with this! I'm gonna live!"
15. KAYLEE: "But how can you be sure Inara don't just wanna see you? Sometimes people have feelings..... I'm referring here to people." MAL "Well, you were watching, weren't you?" (Everybody nods) MAL: "Did you see us fight?" (Everybody shakes their heads) MAL: "Trap."
16. INARA: "We have every reason to be afraid." JAYNE: "What? 'cause this guy beat up Mal? That ain't so hard!" MAL: "He didn't beat me up. Nobody's saying that."
17. MR UNIVERSE: "From here to the eyes and the ears of the 'verse. That's my motto. Or it would be. If I started having a motto."
18. OPERATIVE: "Do you really believe that?" MAL: "I do." OPERATIVE: "You willing to die for that belief?" MAL: "I am."(MAL shoots at the OPERATIVE) MAL: "'course, that ain't exactly plan A."
19. MAL: "Doctor, I've taken your sister under my protection here. If anything happens to her, anything at all, I swear to you, I will get very choked up. Honestly. There could be tears."
20. MAL: "What was that?"(Another one that only works in context, but a great finishing line).
And there you have it. 20 comical lines from one movie that isn't even a comedy. You'll notice I renamed my blog after one. I just thought it was a good title for a blog.
Now that I've completely ruined almost every funny moment in Serenity for people, and probably forgotten some of the obvious ones, I can take a break. Maybe I should do a list of Firefly quotes too...

Maybe the Wash quote about River beating Jayne up should be in there over one the others. But other than that t'was a good top 20 Serenity quotes.
I did consider it. Believe me, it woulda been quote 21. "Start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 pound girl, 'cause that's never gettin' old." But I decided the others were probably funnier.
Some of the cut scene quotes were great too.
INARA: "Hang on to something!" (Ship rockets away, cuts back, and you can't see Mal in the frame). "I told you to hang on to something." MAL: (From floor) "...I'm fine."
