Mal: Just get us on the ground.
Wash: That part will happen most definitely.
Wash: I don't know, but if she doesn't give more power to offset the burn through this landing is going to get very interesting.
Mal: Define interesting.
Wash: "Oh God, Oh God we're all going to die"?
Mal: [Talking into the intercom.] This the captain speaking. We might experience some turbulence, then explode.
The Operative: Do you know what your sin is Mal?
Mal: Ah hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now, I'm gonna have to go with wrath.
Inara Serra: Mal, what are you doing here?
Mal: You invited me.
Inara Serra: I never thought for a second you'd be stupid enough to come!
Mal: Well that makes you a tease.
Mal: You know what the first thing of flying is, Little Albatross? Well of course you do. You can read my mind.
River: I want to hear you say it.
Mal: Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
River: The storm's getting worse.
Mal: We'll come out of it soon enough.
Mal: I don't murder children.
The Operative: I do.
Bill Pardy: My easy-going nature is gettin' sorely fuckin' tested.
Jack MacReady: We need to find this Grant, and I mean yesterday. Town council's lit a Roman Candle, stuck it up my ass.
Bill Pardy: Jack, your leisure activities ain't my business.
[Bill's been badly wounded by one of the alien probes.]
Kylie Strutemyer: You have to get both of those things in you to get all womby.
Bill Pardy: That's awesome.
Bill Pardy: Thank you for saving my ass back there.
Kylie Strutemyer: You're welcome.
Bill Pardy: Of course, when I tell that story, it's gonna be the other way around.
Kylie Strutemyer: What are we gonna do now?
Bill Pardy: I don't know. Probably turn into a couple of these fucked-up things.
Jack MacReady: Where is the Mr. Pibb? I told your secretary to pack Mr. Pibb. It's the only Coke I like. Goddamn Brenda exploding like a water balloon and worms driving my friends around like they're goddamn skin-cars. People are spitting acid at me, turning you into cottage cheese, and now there's no fucking goddamn Mr. Pibb!
Bill Pardy: Jesus Christ, Jack. Let me get right on it.
Jack MacReady: He's a goddamn Martian?
Bill Pardy: Martians is from Mars, Jack.
Jack MacReady: Or it's a general term meaning "outer space fucker."
Bill: No, it isn't.
Jack MacReady: Look it up, cocksucker!
Grant Grant: I've been around a million years! You think you can fuck with me?
Bill Pardy: Yep.
Wonder Woman: Surrender. You cannot escape.
Steve Trevor: Oh, I don't know about that, angel. I've made a hobby out of fleeing chasing women.
Hippolyta: Here the true nature of men is laid bare. What other depraved thoughts must you be thinking?
Col. Steve Trevor: God, your daughter's got a nice rack.
Steve Trevor: So the queen's kid, you know, the hot chick?
Artemis: Princess Diana.
Steve Trevor: Yeah, her. So, what's her deal?
Artemis: Her deal is that I will personally castrate you if you come within five yards of her.
