Daily Dialogue — July 9, 2010

“I’ll kill a man in a fair fight. Or if I think he’s going to start a fair fight. Or if there’s money. Or a woman. Or I don’t like his tone of voice.”

 — Jayne (Adam Baldwin), Serenity (2005), written by Joss Whedon

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is comic understatements as suggested by Mike, who also suggested Serenity.

Trivia: According to the director commentary, Mal’s line “Faster would be better” was ad-libbed by Nathan Fillion when Joss Whedon told him to “say something Mal would say.”
