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.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly)
Zoe, ship is yours. Remember: if anything happens to me, if you don’t hear from me within the hour, you take the ship — and you come and you rescue me.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Serenity)
Doctor, I’m taking 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.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Serenity)
This is the captain. We have a…little problem with our engine sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then…explode.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Serenity)
Sure. It would be humiliating. Having to lie there while the better man refuses to spill your blood. Mercy is the mark of a great man. (lightly stabs Atherton with the sword) Guess I’m just a good man. (stabs him again) Well, I’m all right.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly)
And Kaylee, what the hell’s goin’ on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?
Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly)
Well they tell you: never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
