Serenity (2005 film)

"People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think. Don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome."

"I swallowed a bug."

"The Reavers! They're all made up of rage. I can't shut them up!"

"It's not safe … for them."

"What was that?"

"I look out for me and mine. That don't include you 'less I conjure it does. Now you stuck a thorn in the Alliance's paw. That tickles me a bit. But it also means I got to step twice as fast to avoid them and that means turning down plenty of jobs. Even honest ones. Put this crew together with the promise of work, which the Alliance makes harder every year. Come a day there won’t be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all. This job goes south, there well may not be another. So here is us, on the raggedy edge. Don't push me, and I won't push you."

"This is how it is. Anybody doesn't wanna fly with me anymore, this is your port of harbor. There's a lot of fine ways to die. I ain't waiting for the Alliance to choose mine. I mean to confound these bungers. Take my shot at getting to Miranda. Maybe find something I can use to get clear of this. So I hear a word out of any of you that ain't helping me out or taking your leave, I will shoot you down."

"Sorry about the throat. Expect you'd want to say your famous last words right now. Just one trouble. I ain't gonna kill you. Hell, I'm gonna grant your greatest wish. I'm gonna show you a world without sin."

"I'm assumin' y'all were listenin'? Did you hear us fight? [pause] Trap."

"We crashing again?"

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

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

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

"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]"

"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."

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

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

"Shiny! Let's be bad guys."

"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?"

"She is starting to damage my calm!"

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"Can't stop the signal."

"Space Pirates on the run!"

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

"The future is worth fighting for."

"They aim to misbehave."
