ONE IN FIVE, BITCH! ONE IN FIVE!
God, I loved that moment.
I saw him in an airport before he'd done anything else, and I wanted to go up to him and say something, but I really wanted to say that, and understood how psycho that sounded.
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
One in five?
I realized I have Case #39 from NetFlix. I think he's in that, which I hope cancels out Miss Squinty.

It was his character's turning moment in Alias. He'd been the guy who knew less than the audience, and was kind of a doof. Then he gets captured by a baddy, and he's been tortured, and he's being injected with this stuff that has a one in five chance of killing him. He manages to get free, and turns the tables on his captors and injects him with the solution, yelling "ONE IN FIVE, BITCH! ONE IN FIVE!"
And from then on he was with the program, and Will Tippen was cool.

I guess I've revealed I didn't watch Alias.
He's been in way more stuff than I thought.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ISTG it was "One in five, you little bitch, one in five!" It scans better.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think I need to watch Alias.

Truly one of the great moments in that show's run.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My roommate watched Alias, so I only saw it in passing, but that line really stuck with me, even if I didn't remember which show it was from.
