randominityI just dropped the money for a day ticket to the con and I'm gonna get my picture taken with Nathan Fillion and eeee!
Actually, I'm not spending more money on the Flanvention than I have spent on *NSYNC concerts in the past (including hotel stay, etc). And I sure as hell never got to have my picture taken with any of them or anything, so as far as I'm concerned, this time I'm way ahead. Er. This is what I'm telling myself.
*shakes*
Top five episodes:
Out of Gas
Ariel
Serenity
Our Mrs. Reynolds
Jaynestown
Top five characters:
Mal
Mal Wash
Jayne+Simon (can't choose between these two)
Zoe
Top five pairings:
Jayne/Mal
Mal/Simon
Jayne/Simon
Zoe/Wash
Everybody else
Top five quotes:
Okay, I simply cannot choose. Heck, I can barely choose five quotes from the movie and five from the series. I was going to go with five for each character, but I'd be here all day. Okay, here goes.
Top five from the BDM (in no particular order)
Kaylee: Been goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' 'twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!
Mal: Oh God! I can't know that!
Simon [to River]: If there's any fighting, you fall down or run away. [beat] It's okay to leave them to die.
Wash: Can we start with the part where Jayne gets beat up by a 90-pound girl? 'Cause that's never getting old.
Inara: Oh, I, I... didn't meant to... leave stuff.
Mal: Well, I didn't... look through... any of the... stuff.
Simon: My one regret... is never being with you.
Kaylee: You mean to say... as... sex?
Simon: I mean to say.
Kaylee: Hell with this... I'm gonna live!
HARD CHOICES, PEOPLE.
Top five from the series (in no particular order)
Wash: I've been in a firefight. Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity.
Jayne: You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here. Now we're finishing this deal, and then maybe maybe we'll come back for those morons who got themselves caught. [Starts breathing heavily] You can't change that by getting all... [His voice slows] ... bendy.
Wash: [not understanding the bendy thing] All what?
Jayne: [obviously drugged] You've got the light... from the console... keep you, lift you up. They shine like... [tries to catch the light in his hands] ... little angels...
[Collapses]
Crew: [Stares]
Wash: Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?
[Jayne spits on knife sharpening stone]
Simon: Could you not do that while we're-- ever?
Kaylee: Figures - first time in the Core, and what do I get to do? Dig through trash. Why couldn't he send me shopping at the Tri-plex, or-- ooh! Synchronizers!
and finally:
Mal: We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so. very. pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.
~~
Seriously, I had three pages of quotes I had to narrow down to these. Sigh. Such love!

Date: 2005-11-11 08:26 pm (UTC)second verse, same as the first!
Date: 2005-11-11 10:35 pm (UTC)Simon: I'm not worried.
Mal: Fear's nothing to be ashamed of, doctor.
Simon: This isn't fear. This is anger.
Mal: Well, kinda hard to tell one from t'other, face like yours.
Simon: I imagine if it were fear, my eyes would be wider.
Mal [about Simon, mock-worship]: He's my hero.
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.
River: I swallowed a bug.
Kaylee [to Simon]: Are you okay?
Mal: Is he okay?!
Mal: Do you wanna run this ship?
Jayne: Yes!
Mal: Well-- you... can't...
Mal: I start fightin' a war, I guarantee you'll see somethin' new.
Nandi: You ain't sly, are you? 'Cause I got boys...
Mal: Sly? No. No, I lean toward womenfolk...
Mal: Now, if I'm not back in an hour, I want you to take this ship, take off... and you come and you rescue me!
Wash: Oh, my God. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing? Oh, right, that would be me. Back to work.
Inara: What did I tell you about barging into my shuttle?
Mal: That it was manly and impulsive?
Inara: Yes, precisely, only the exact phrase I used was "don't."
Guy on Planet: ...the Browncoats were a bunch o' cowardly inbred pisspots, should'a been killed off o' every world spinnin'.
Mal: [puts down drink] Say that to my face.
Guy on Planet: [threateningly] I said you're a coward and a pisspot. Now, what're you gonna do about it?
Mal: [smiles suddenly] Nothing. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind you.
[Guy on Planet turns, and Zoë hits him in the face with the butt of her gun]
Mal: Drunks are so cute.
Mal: This job? I would pull for free.
Zoë: Can I have your share?
Mal: No.
Zoë: If you die, can I have your share?
Mal: Yes.
Zoë: If they board us, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh and sew our skin to their clothes. And if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order.
Jayne: "Dear diary: Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Today we were kidnapped by hill folk, never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."
Mal: Ah, the pitter-patter of little feet in combat boots... SHUT UP!
Mal: One of you is gonna fall, and die, and I'm not cleaning it up.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next?
Zoë: Either blow us all 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.
Simon: Captain, why did you come back for us?
Mal: You're on my crew.
Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back?
Mal: You're on my crew. Why are we still talking about this?
Jayne: Laurence, I'm just gonna cut on ya' til you tell me how much they know.
Dobson: They know everything. Every name, every record - they know how many... nosehairs you've got.
Jayne: [beat; then, disappointed and annoyed] Oh, see - they don't know a damn thing. It's all over your face and I ain't even... I was gonna get me an ear! Aren't you an officer of the law, don't they teach you how to... you know, withstand interrogation? Can't even tell a damn lie!
Dobson: Okay. I can see you're not an idiot.
Jayne: Wish I could say the same, Laurence, but this is disappointin' as hell.
Re: second verse, same as the first!
Date: 2005-11-11 10:35 pm (UTC)Simon: So, finally a decent wound on this ship and I miss it. I'm sorry.
Mal: Well, you were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.
Mal: Now, you only gotta scare him.
Jayne: Pain's scary.
Mal: Ship like this, be with you until the day you die.
Zoë: That's because it's a deathtrap.
Jayne: What we need is a diversion. I say Zoe gets nekked.
Wash: No.
Jayne: ...*I* could get nekked.
Everyone: No!
Jayne: [to Simon] Little Kaylee here just wishes you was a gynecologist.
[Jayne laughs]
Mal: Jayne, you will keep a civil tongue in that mouth, or I will sew it shut. Is there an understanding between us?
Jayne: You don't pay me to talk pretty. Just because Kaylee gets lubed up over some big-city dandy...
Mal: Walk away from this table. Right now.
[Jayne glares, loads his plate with food, and leaves]
Simon: What do you pay him for?
Mal: What?
Simon: I was just wondering what his job is - on the ship.
Mal: Oh. [beat] Public relations.
Jayne: Well, as a rule, I say girlfolk ain't to be trusted.
River: [smirks] Jayne is a girl's name.
Jayne: Well, Jayne ain't a girl! [to Simon] If she starts in on that girl's name thing, I'll show her good and all [reaches into his pants] I got man parts.
Simon: ...I'm trying to think of a way for you to be cruder. I just... it's not coming.
Mal: Oh, I'm goin' to the special hell.
Niska: You died, Mr. Reynolds.
Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.
Mal: Don't worry... this is all part of our new plan.
[silence]
Kaylee: Captain, how exactly is this--
Mal: Still working out the details.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination.
Zoë: I imagine that's so, sir.
Inara: What was the last cargo we snuck past the alliance in a transport?
Mal: That was...
Inara: What was the cargo?
Mal: [pauses] They were dolls.
Inara: They were little geisha dolls with big heads that wobbled!
Mal: Hey, people LOVE those!
Durran: How long have you been with him?
Mal: Uh... We are not together.
Saffron: He's my husband.
Mal: Well, who in the damn galaxy ain't!?
Kaylee: Look, they got boy whores! Isn't that thoughtful?
Mal: 'Petty'?
Inara: I didn't mean 'petty'.
Mal: So what did you mean?
Inara: ...'Suoxi'?
Mal: That's Chinese for 'petty'.
Patience: Didn't expect to be hearing from you any time soon.
Mal: Well, we may not have parted on best terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain bullets.
Inara: Are you in pain?
Mal: Absolutely! I got stabbed you know, right here. [lifts shirt to show a bloodstained bandage on his side]
Inara: I saw.
Mal: I don't care much for fancy parties. Too rough.
Inara: It wasn't entirely a disaster.
Mal: [lifts his shirt again] I got stabbed! Right here!
Mal: [about Mal's new wife] I would appreciate it if one person on this boat would not assume that I'm an evil lecherous hump.
Zoë: Nobody's saying that, sir.
Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant looks and laughing incessantly.

Date: 2005-11-12 02:02 pm (UTC)I completely agree about the spending money for 'nsync concerts. I was at the ballet a few months ago, and we had orchestra seats, and they were half the price of mid-range 'nsync tickets. 'nsync has screwed up my sense of (well, a lot of things, but also) concert ticket prices. I say, you've really *saved* money by turing to FF!
