Why yes, it is I! StatesTheObvious Girl! Marvel at my failure to surprise! Ooh and aaah at my capacity to tell you things you coud've worked out without any assistance!
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Fay again, in Firefly again:
you have to imagine me in full Charlton Heston mode, only shorter & blonder & more buxom. And English. And less with the mad gun love. Although hip to the mad Gunn love. But I digress

Thrive to spite them
billytea in Firefly (re Dana's cow-orker):
Basically, from what I can tell, it boils down to: "Boss is mean to me! [stomp feet, kick heels]"
That's going too far. A crap work ethic is one thing, but unprovoked line dancing? She must go.

(much salad shooter silliness in Firefly that should probably be here too, but...)
in Firefly:
Victor: Wait. You have a Robotic Army of the Undead, and Aimee doesn't have a camel?
Wait...I'm spoiling a Christmas present here, aren't I?
Ellen S: Victor, I think you probably averted a tragic "Gift of the Magi" situation, where Aimee sells her camel sadle for a uranium core for MM's robotic army, and MM sells his Undead Army remote controller for a camel for Aimee's saddle.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it
The Matt’n’Madrigal Show (from Firefly)
Matt: Whoever brought it up first, could we please stop talking about it? I'm willing to forgo any suggestion that Simon might play for my team for the rest of the day in return for limiting his potential romantic interests to women who wouldn't bear him eleven-toed offspring with no chins. ;-)
Madrigal: Well, we could switch to talking about how Mal had a certain sort of look on his face when he was talking about his mother.
Matt: Runs screaming into the night...
Trudy: Has anybody told Matt about Zoe and Wash being first cousins?
Matt: Hey, these woods I'm running through screaming are in Arkansas, after all.
Madrigal: Inara could be Mal's grandmother - for all we know companions are very good at keeping up a youthful appearance.
Matt: This would certainly explain their scorching chemistry to date.
*************
Alibelle: I need to get a job. Or I need to pick fights with all my friends so I don't have to go Christmas shopping.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
BHP, on the helpful household hints in Firefly:
It disturbs me that we have segued from Combat Tiddlywinks into Desserts of Death.

JZ, nattering:
I am exactly the kind of dork who would do something like, say, buy a packet of Christmas Peeps, notice that they were shaped like gingerbread men, and then find herself unable to stop saying things like "Yo, I got all my Peeps with me," "Peeps representing for Candyland, yo," and "Peeps in tha HOUSE, yo!" For, like, three hours.

More JZ:
But the chances of my mom voluntarily putting any portion of her actual person in physical contact with any portion of my dad’s actual person are such that if you put them up against none, none would start to look like a terrifyingly large number.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
This was me, actually: Madigal: Has anybody told Matt about Zoe and Wash being first cousins?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I went back and fixed it, Trudy.
