mine are more dialogues than anything else.

Book: I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong. I believe... I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship.
Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.
sometimes, the life you expect, is not the one you're meant for

Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can...how do I know you won't kill me in my sleep?
Mal: You don't know me, son, so let me put this to you plainly: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake. You'll be facing me. And you'll be armed.
Simon: Are you always this sentimental?
Mal: I had a good day.
Simon: You had the Alliance on you, criminals and savages... half the people on the ship have been shot or wounded including yourself, and you're harboring known fugitives.
Mal: We're still flying.
Simon: That's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

first part: keep your honnor, it's all you have. second part, take what you can get at the end of the day. nothing else really matters.

Inara: You're always breaking the rules, no matter which society you're in! You don't get along with ordinary criminals either, which is why you're constantly getting in trouble!
Mal: You think following the rules will buy you a nice life, even if the rules make you a slave.
this one's obvious

Quotes I live by:

"You can't fix stupid" - Ron White

"Its always funny when its not you" - Myself

And a Sherrif said this to me once when he pulled me over for speeding:

"And what does that have to do with the price of eggs?"

That statement right there literally left me speechless for 5 minutes. He felt so bad for confusing the shit out of me, he let me off rly easy.

3. The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

What makes me smile is anothers misfortune
I like to see your body in flames scortchin'
I like to see a part of your brain auctioned
I like to see inside of your main organs
I like to see inside of your veins pourin'
I find beauty in anothers pain
I find beauty in the spirit of god but I don't fuckin' change
I find serenity in torture
JMT

"We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope. But Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All war depends upon it."

Christmas I dont think many soldiers thought that way back then on the german lines, if any and that mindset is too cold and modern.

After all remember the tale of what happened during one of the christmas's of WW1 and I remember reading in Günther Rall's autobiography (RIP OCT 09 age 91) they used to make sure the american pilots got out and SURVIVED once they shot them down.

not many if any people were looking for bloodshed towards the end of the war in the german populace, the new german hello/goodbye was switched by most people from heil hitler to überleben Sie (survive!) they also tried to kill hitler themselves and were planning to surrender germany peacefully in 44 if it had worked.

It wasn't like they were dealing with the japanese where that would have been an appropriate mindset to deal with there samurai like training on Iwo Jima and no surrender mentality which 2 nukes finally solved, hell when you come right down to it he seems like a WW2 version of Agent 47 there.

also thats supposed to help him deal with his fear and his guilt conscience of not helping his unit and killing someone who probably has a family waiting at home as well? that is probably one of the worst things you could tell someone like that and it could possibly lead up to a private pyle kind of situation with the wrong guy.

The clip implies that the soldiers did and I just wanted to say that is defintely not the way they would have acted back then, not unless that particular soldiers gone crazy

frankly it sounds like some typical hollywood tought guy crap they put in that was probabaly at odds with what was written by stephen ambrose in the first place.

and having family that fought on both sides of that conflict that lived through it, being told of them and there exploits it just really rubbed me wrong.

It doesn't imply shit except that Ronald Speirs was a Grade A badass.

Go and read about him. I'm sure you will agree.

Also I doubt Ambrose had a serious issue with it considering he was right there when BoB was in production.
