Death is not worse pain than an empty life. -- Lun Tha

Granted it IS after five and I am shortly going to embark upon my duties of the day, which include making lunch for the Spousal Unit and laundry, among other things... But! I have been up for hours, carousing with some MindSay Notables who are also up, in their various timezones.  And I redecorated Le Blog O'Quill for the day.  Utilizing themes and a header from another Firefly fan, as well as an avatar knitted by my bud, Klahra.

In addition, I found Firefly quotes. Which made me laugh. So I am sharing them here because everyone should have a chuckle before breakfast. Okay, if you don't LIKE Firefly, have no sympathy for the Browncoats, and think River Tam should be incarcerated, get OFF the Serenity and find yourself another mode of transport. Thank you.

Mal: I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.
--
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know, shoot 'em.
Zoe: Shoot 'em?
Mal: Politely.
--
Mal: They tell you never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is on occasion hilarious.
--
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war.
Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war.
Harken: And your husband?
Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.
--
Inara: I like watching the game. As with other situations, the key seems to be giving Jayne a heavy stick and standing back.
--
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky and they remember what they are.
Mal: Is it bad that what she just said makes perfect sense to me?
--
Mal: Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die.
Zoe: Yes Sir. Because it's a deathtrap.
Mal: That's not... you are very much lacking in imagination.
Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.
--
Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver!
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe?
Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.
--
Simon: This may come as a shock, but I'm actually not very good at talking to girls.
Zoe: Why, is there someone you *are* good at talking to?
--
River: Also, I can kill you with my brain.

And this last group are all favorites, from the episode Objects in Space:

Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the minute. What will she do next?
Zoe: Either blow us up or rub soup in her hair. It's a toss-up.
Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.
--
Wash: How did your brain even learn human speech?
Jayne: I don't like the idea of someone hearing what I'm thinking.
Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.
--
Simon: My sister's a ship. We had a fairly complicated childhood.
--
River: I know you have questions.
Mal: That's why I asked them.
--
Mal: You know, you ain't quite right.
River: It's a popular theory.
