Quotes6

  • Simon: I never - never shot anyone before.
  • Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.
  • Simon: Did you do anything today?
  • River Tam: Played with Kaylee. The sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I hate the bits, the bits that stay down and I work, I f-function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away! The sun grows dark and chaos has come again. It's... fluids. What am I?
  • Simon: You are my beautiful sister.
  • River Tam: I-I threw up on your bed.
  • Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.
  • Zoë Washburne: We're getting him back.
  • Jayne: What are we gonna do - clone him?
  • Dr. Simon Tam: Well, it's a clean cut. With the right equipment, I should be able to re-attach it. That's assuming there's a head.
  • Simon: Sadistic crap legitimized by florid prose. Tell me you're not a fan.
  • Book: I'd forgotten, you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned?
  • Simon: No... but I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.
  • Book: Did you ever read the works of Shan Yu?
  • Simon: Shan Yu the psychotic dictator?
  • Book: Yep. Fancied himself quite the warrior poet. Wrote volumes on war, torture, the limits of human endurance.
  • Simon: That's nice.
