"...like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time... something historic, a film that for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad movies."

"...a picture that will be hailed without controversy as the worst of its kind ever made."

"The plot depends on the most ludicrous decisions and senseless actions ever made by a thinking race."

"Battlefield Earth has the feel of a movie made by a precocious 8-year-old with access to too many leftover costumes from Clan of the Cave Bear and Star Trek: The Next Generation."

"Look at the bright side! You may not be wallowing in luxury on Psychlo, but at least you finally got your gold. [laughs]"

"I'm going to fire all my wives and buy new ones! Maybe pretty ones this time."

"I am going to make you as happy as a baby Psychlo on a straight diet of kerbango."

"You have been quite a challenge, rat-brain, and you're going to make a hell of a conversation piece when you're stuffed and hanging on the wall at the academy!"

"Attention. This is Terl, your chief of security. Exterminate all man-animals at will, and happy hunting!"

"Never underestimate what a little leverage can do, rat-brain!"

"Stupid humans!"

"[Taking Jonnie to a library] When we attacked your planet, all your soldiers and all their advanced technology could only put up a measly nine-minute fight before they were exterminated, which is why man is an endangered species. Everything you humans knew is here, and you can look at anything you want, because there is nothing that will help you."

"A man-animal getting leverage over a Psychlo? That'll be the day."

"Crap-lousy ceiling! I thought I told you to get some man-animals in here and fix it."

"While you were still learning how to spell your name, I was being trained to conquer galaxies!"

"Chiwetel Ejiofor - The Operative"

"Ron Glass - Shepherd Book"

"Sean Maher - Dr. Simon Tam"

"Jewel Staite - Kaylee Frye"

"Adam Baldwin - Jayne Cobb"

"Morena Baccarin - Inara Serra"

"Alan Tudyk - Hoban "Wash" Washburne"

"Gina Torres - Zoë Washburne"

"Nathan Fillion - Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds"

"They aim to misbehave."

"The future is worth fighting for."

"This is one "River" you do not want to cross."

"Space Pirates on the run!"

"Can't stop the signal."

"Kaylee: Don’t pay anybody in advance. And don’t ride in anything with a Capissen 38 engine, they fall right out of the sky."

"Shepherd Book: [Last words] I don’t care what you believe. Just believe in... whatever she..."

"Target the Reavers. Target the Reavers! Target everyone! Somebody fire!"

"You should have let me see her, Captain. We should have done this as men. Not with fire."

"This is a good death. There's no shame in this, in a man's death. A man who has done fine works. We’re making a better world. All of them, better worlds."

"They can't stop the signal, Mal. They can never stop the signal."

"Can't stop the signal, Mal. Everything goes somewhere, and I go everywhere."

"Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on. From here to the eyes and the ears of the 'verse, that's my motto. Or at least it would be, if I start having a motto."

"You guys always bring me the very best violence."

"It was a very beautiful ceremony. Lenore wrote her own vows. I cried. Like a baby. A hungry, angry baby."

"She is starting to damage my calm!"

"I just don't get it. How's a man get so wrong? Cuttin' on his own face, rapin' and murdering — 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. But these Reavers... last ten years they show up like the bogeyman from stories. Eating people alive? Where's that get fun?"

"Shiny! Let's be bad guys."

"We're gonna explode!? I don't wanna explode!"

"I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."

"Let's go back to the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a ninety-pound girl, 'cause I don't think that's ever gonna get old."

"She's tore up plenty, but she'll fly true. [when asked by Mal about the status of Serenity, referring to both the ship and herself after the final battle]"

"This is the place. We'll buy you the time."

"At last, we can retire and give up this life of crime."

"Do you know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed. You can look it up later."

"We crashing again?"
