Listen up, cause I'm only telling you this once. I'm not bedtime story lady, so pay attention. It's 2033 the 22nd Age. The world is *screwed* now. You see, a while ago this humongous comet came crashing into the earth dragon sucked the life out of the land. Bam, total devastation. End of the world as we know it.

Curled up against the hulking, gap-toothed barbarian, speaking in a soft manner, the lithe, blonde-haired woman says, in sirihish:
     "All my life I've been alone. Many times I've faced death with no one to know. I would look into the huts and the tents of others in the coldest dark and I would see figures holding each other in the night. But I always passed by. You and I, we have warmth, that's so hard to find in this world. Please, let someone else pass by in the night."
<Prompt stuff here
The next day, the hulking, gap-toothed barbarian rides off into the wastes, never to be seen again; damn permadeath!

(The following ones all come from the Mel Gibson film, "Payback". The grit of the film always makes me think of a modern-day Arm XD)

"Crooked Arm. Do they come in any other way? If I'd been just a little dumber, I could have joined the Militia myself."

Well-to-do Commoner: "You know what, Lord Hardnose, this one's on me. OK?"
Lord Hardnose: "Do you see me reaching for my fucking coin pouch?"

"Not many people know what their life's worth is. I do. Seventy small. That's what they took from me. And that's what I was going to get back."

Amos Assassin: "We went for breakfast... in Red Storm. We made a deal; if she'd stop hookin', I'd stop knifing people."
Amos Assassin: "Maybe we were aiming high."

Random Militia: "The problem with kicking a Sharp's ass is an hour later you wanna do it again."

Agent-da Kurac: "Do you understand your value to the organization, Resnick? You're a sadist. You lack compunction. That comes in handy."

After shooting the bulky, blonde man in the leg with his agafari crossbow, and stuffing a rolled tube of spice between his lips the gruff, grey-eyed man asks, in sirihish; "You gotta light?"
Wincing in pain, the bulky, blonde man says to the gruff, grey-eyed man in sirihish: "What?"
Appearing agitated, the gruff grey-eyed man asks the bulky, blonde man, in sirihish: "You got a light?"
Confusion crossing his features, the bulky, blonde man exclaims, in sirihish: "No!"
Shrugging, the gruff, grey-eyed man says to the bulky, blonde man, in sirihish: "Then what good are you?"
The gruff, grey-eyed man shoots the bulky, blonde man in the face with his agafari crossbow, doing horrendous damage.

Guild Lead: "I don't want Mr. Big hearing about this... he'll think I'm getting soft. One of his principles has always been: if you don't understand it, get rid of it... a stitch in time, so to speak, so... stitch this 'tok up, Amos."

Random Blonde PC:  "Beauty of the Gyppos is that they won't go to the Arm. They keep everything in house... and, they don't feel pain the way we do."
Random Gruff PC: "Notice anything about those guys, Amos?"
Random Blonde PC: "They look nasty, probably all poison-using mother fuckers."
Random Gruff PC: "They weren't wearing their harnesses."

"You'd think after five months of lying on my back, I would have given up any idea of getting even, just be a nice guy and call it a day. Nice guys are fine: you have to have somebody to take advantage of... but they always finish last."

"Nobody likes a tregil on his back: I had three, and they were cramping my style. I was gonna' have to lighten the load."

Lord Hardnose's Aide, over the way: "There's a young lady to see you, sir... her name is Pearl."
Lord Hardnose: "She's got two very bad habits; right now I'm only interested in one of 'em. Send her up."

Porter: "What's his name?"
Rosie: "Porter."

"Circumstanced necessitated a change," Rosanna replied.

I shrugged one shoulder - the one bearing Fidelacchius. "Same here."

"What circumstances are those?" Rosanna demanded.

"The ones where I'm dealing with a pack of two-faced, backstabbing, treacherous, murderous lunatics whom I trust no farther than I can kick."

She regarded me with level, lovely eyes. "And what is the Knights' intended role?"

"They're here to build trust."

"Trust?" She asked.

"Absolutely. I can kick you a lot farther when they're around."

    "One."

Mal: "We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so...very...pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die."

and also:

Zoe:  "You sanguine about the kind of reception we're apt to receive on an Alliance ship, Cap'n?"

Mal: "Absolutely." (beat) "What's 'sanguine' mean?"

Zoe:  " 'Sanguine'. Hopeful. Plus -- point of interest -- it also means 'bloody'."

Mal:  "Well, that pretty much covers all the options, don't it?"
