Firefly Episode 7 - Jaynetown
Book: What are we up to, sweetheat?
River: Fixing your Bible.
Book: I, um...(alarmed)...what?
River: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense.
Book: No, no. You - you can't...
River: So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem.
Book: Really?
River: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat.

Mal: You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I am a mystery.
Inara: Best keep it that way. I withdraw the question.

Kaylee: But we're headed for help. Right?

Firefly Episode 3 - Bushwacked
Alliance Commander: Seems odd you'd name your ship after a battle you were on the wrong side of.

Book: Oh, I got heathens aplenty right here.

T-Rex: Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!
