David Lynch: "Here in LA, kind of a haze, a hazy, sunny morning. Very still right now. Around 66 degrees farenheit, 19 celsius. This morning I was thinking about the group, Pink Floyd."
"Well, it's time for the weekend projects. Uh they may be the same projects we had during the week, but, whatever. I hope they go smoothly, and they turn out great. This afternoon, it'll be going up to 84 degrees farenheit, around 29 celsius, and, it looks like, there will be blue skies and golden sunshine."
Wash: "Didn't want you taking off without me. In fact, didn't want you taking off at all. Thought I might take this run instead — me and the Captain."
Mal: "The Captain who's standing right here, telling you that's not going to happen?"
"I was in a local Guitar Center store looking at a Les Paul. When the salesman asked what I'd be playing with it, I said jazz and some blues. the salesman then asked, 'who plays jazz on a Les Paul.' I replied, 'Well, Les Paul for one.'"
"Well, you know, if a very, very heavy set women were to come on to this set and started eating, you know, hot dogs, and as a joke, and maybe sing some songs, it would change this atmosphere. you know."
Inara: "If I choose a woman, she tends to be extraordinary in some way. And the fact is, I occasionally have the exact same need you do. One can not always be one's self in the company of men."
Councilor: "Never, actually."
“They played for the smile of music, a good drink of whiskey, and if you played good enough you got a good lookin’ girlfriend!” — Buddy Guy, guitarist and singer, unknown source.
Mal: "Hey, I let that [stupid (in Chinese)] trick of yours slide back there because this is a milk run. But when I go on a mission, I'm taking Zoe, and that's the drill. You know that. I mean, what happens if we get in a situation here?"
Wash: "Hey, I've been in a firefight before. [Pauses] Well, I was in a fire. [Pauses] Actually, I was fired, from a fry cook opportunity. [Pauses again.] I can handle myself."
Wash: "I don't want you to spare me, Mal. If you think you know what's happening then you tell me. You wouldn't spare Zoe if she were in this situation with you, would you? You would be planning, and plotting, and possibly scheming. So, whatever Zoe would do in this instance is what I wanna do. And you know why? Because no matter how ugly it gets, you two always come back. With the stories. So... I'm Zoe. Now... what do I do?"
Mal: "Probably not talk quite so much."
Wash: "Right. Less talking. She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic."
"It was a Trojan Horse, Morty. Never trust the French. All right, fun is fun, but now the federal government is going to be pissed again. Way to go. And on America's birthday, or whatever the fuck Thanksgiving is."
Wash: "I mean, I'm the one that she swore to love, honor, and obey."
Mal: "Listen, if— [surprised] She swore to obey?"
Wash: "Well, no... not — but that's just my point! You, she obeys! She obeys you. There's obeying going on right under my nose!"
"Well. Here we go, for the weekend projects. Sometimes they're the same projects that we work on during the week. But whatever the case, good luck to us all."
Simon (looking at a severed ear): "Well, it's a clean cut; with the right equipment I should be able to reattach it... that's assuming there's a head."
"Yes, Jeffrey, that is a human ear. You did right by bringing it to me. I'll send it over to the coroner's office.
Detective Williamson, what do you think they might be able to find out?"
Zoe: "Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killin'?"
Book (pulling out a rifle): "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."
"We were all sitting there going, 'Where's this guy Brian? He should have been here an hour ago.' 'Oh him? He's downstairs playing pool with the roadies.' So we thought, well, at least he plays pool."

— joke heard somewhere (Nvidia is a company that makes graphics cards for computers, and probably other stuff, and causes a lot of grief among those kids and their video gamerings and their linux...hardware devices use a small bit of very low-level code to "communicate" with various hardware and software layers, called "drivers"...rather difficult to write them, unless assembly language is your native tongue. Their drivers may not be great for other platforms -- dunno -- but I hear linux people complain about them all the time).
Monty: "Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you… I shaved off my beard for you, devil woman!"

"'So I did the show and at 4.30 in the morning I was fired,” says Lemmy. He had the last laugh though. In addition to starting Motorhead [sic], he adds that he really enjoyed 'coming home and fucking all their old ladies. Not the ugly ones of course. But at least four. I took great pleasure in it. Eat that, you bastards.'"
