If wishes were horses we would all be having steak!

Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone’s carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn’t even know it. The trick is, die of old age before it finds you.
— Captain Mal from Firefly “The Message” (via sothatimaylive)
- Mal: She is a mite unpredictable. Mood swings, of a sort.
- The Operative: It's worse than you know.
- Mal: It usually is.
- The Operative: That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain.
- Mal: The way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it.
- [He turns to Inara.]
- Mal: Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.

You’re in a dangerous line of work, Jayne. Odds are you’ll be under my knife again, often. So I want you to understand one thing very clearly: No matter what you do or say or plot, no matter how you come down on us, I will never, ever harm you. You’re on this table, you’re safe… ‘cause I’m your medic. And however little we may like or trust each other, we’re on the same crew. Got the same troubles, same enemies, and more than enough of both. Now, we could circle each other and growl, sleep with one eye open, but that thought wearies me. I don’t care what you’ve done, I don’t know what you’re planning on doing, but I’m trusting you. I think you should do the same. ‘Cause I don’t see this working any other way.

All problems, Mr. Higgins, are just hidden opportunities.

I don’t believe there’s a power in the ‘verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.
— Mal, Firefly (via ashleabeep)
- Wash: Yeah well, if she doesn't give us some extra flow from the engine room to offset the burn through, this landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
- Mal: Define "interesting."
- Wash: Oh god oh god we're all gonna die?
- Mal: This is the captain. We have a... little problem with our engine sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.
Mal Reynolds: Hell, I’m gonna grant your greatest wish. I’m gonna show you a world without sin.
