Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • At the beginning:
Cquote1

 Wash: If Kaylee 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: '[over intercom] This is the Captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we might experience some slight turbulence, and the… explode. [to Wash] Can you shave the vector?

Wash: I'm doing it, it's not enough.

Mal: Well, just get us on the ground.

Wash: That part'll happen pretty definitely!

Cquote1

  "Okay!"

Cquote2
    • The guard then discussing where he wants to be shot (so he can avoid punishment for allowing the robbery to take place), with him and Mal debating the merits of a bullet through various areas of human anatomy.
Cquote1

 Mal: The leg is good, it'll bleed plenty, and we avoid any necessary organs.

Guard: I was thinking more of a graze...

Mal: Well, you don't want it to look like you just gave up.

Cquote2
  • Jayne calling for Mal when the Reavers arrive:
Cquote1

  Every heist he's gotta start yellin' my name!

Cquote2
  • Ahem... Ceiling River. That is all.
  • ‎"I've staked my crew's life on the theory you're a person, actual and whole. And if I'm wrong, you'd best shoot me now." *click* "… or… we could talk more."
  • "Zoe, ship is yours. Remember, if anything happens to me, or you don't hear from me within the hour, you take this ship and you come and you rescue me!
  • "Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint."
  • When the Operative and Mal first meet, and Mal tries to goad him:
