Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the episode, "Our Mrs Reynolds", Shepherd Book talks to Mal about a "special hell". For what type of person does he say this kind of hell is reserved?

Answer: People who talk at the theatre

Although the Shepherd and Jayne do not get along particularly well, he does not assign him to "special hell". Along with people who talk at the theatre, Book says child molesters are also going to the same hell. He mentions it as Mal has accidentally landed himself with a wife.
2. River Tam is a singular character. Using her powerful intellect, which was warped by the Alliance and their experiments on her, she attempts to "fix" the Shepherd's Bible. Which of these does she believe to be a problem?

Answer: Noah's Ark

River's exact words when the Shepherd comes upon her annotating and ripping his Bible up are: "Noah's ark is a problem. We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat." She later approaches the Shepherd with some pages and philosophically says "I tore these out of your symbol and they became pages."
3. Jayne Cobb is not a man of many words, which is shown in the "Jaynestown" episode. However what/who is he addressing when he says: "See, ____? Dress yourself up you get taken out somewhere fun"?

Answer: Vera

From the episode "Our Mrs Reynolds", Jayne wishes to trade Mal Vera (his favourite gun) for Saffron, Mal's new wife. It is not Jayne's style to compliment Kaylee outright, he spends more time making jokes at her expense or being crude about her.
4. Wash loves playing with his toy dinosaurs, which are a Stegosaurus and a T-Rex. The unimaginative Stegosaurus wishes to call a land (aka the console of the ship) "this land", but what is the name the T-Rex wants to call it?

Answer: Your grave

This is such a great moment, where Wash is role-playing with the two figures of the dinosaurs on the console. This line comes just after the Stegosaurus says, "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
5. Kaylee is from an outer planet, so when the opportunity arises for her to visit a core planet, she ends up being disappointed with the task she is given on the job that requires the crew of Serenity to go to Ariel. Complete this quote: "First time on the Core and what do I get to do? _____________."

Answer: Dig through trash

During the episode "Ariel", which is Simon's criminal magnum opus, Kaylee and Wash are tasked with fitting out the medical helicopter so that the main group of Mal, Jayne and Zoe, can get into the hospital with the temporary corpses of the Tam siblings.
6. Mal Reynolds is the central character in the series and as such, he has many recognisable and almost catchphrases. Which quote-episode pair is the correct match?

Answer: "Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots" - "War Stories"

While talking to Inara, Kaylee and River are playing in the cargo hold until Mal tells them to be quiet. The medical jargon, unless spoken by Simon, is generally always in the episode "Ariel", where the crew trespass into an Alliance hospital. When Mal begins a bar brawl in "The Train Job", he encounters a drunk Alliance sympathiser on U-Day. Zoe and Mal do call themselves "Big damn heroes" in the episode "Safe", but it is Zoe that actually says the quote.
7. In "Objects in Space", when the bounty hunter, Jubal Early, confronts Simon in his search for River, Simon asks if he is a lion.

Answer: False

It is implied later that it is because of Jubal Early's mental state, that he misheard Simon asking if he was "Alliance" for "a lion". Jubal does not find River in what is the last episode of "Firefly". River does however gain insight into his mind through her psychic abilities.
8. Jayne is injured while helping Kaylee change the coordinates on the bin. What does River tell him she can kill him with while he is immobilised in the infirmary?

Answer: Her brain

Although River is seen to have an extraordinary talent with guns, she is better known for her extreme cleverness. This comes after River reveals that Jayne sold her and Simon out to the feds on Ariel when Simon had previously believed Jayne to be the Man of the Hour and their saviour in the episode "Trash".
9. During the episode "War Stories", Zoe had to lead a rescue mission to save Mal from Adelei Niska, but what did she ask the Shepherd about when she said: "Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about __________?"

Answer: killing

When the crew are preparing to storm Niska's spaceplex to save Mal, Zoe sees the Shepherd handling a firearm, so she inquires after his intentions. His response is: "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps." The crew do end up saving Mal and the Shepherd proves to be an expert marksman.
10. It would be impossible to have a quiz on "Firefly" quotes without a nod to all the Mandarin phrases that are used. So, which of these phrases said by Inara in the episode "Trash", means 'petty'?

Answer: suo shee

Mei Mei means little sister in Mandarin and is used notably by both Mal and Inara when addressing Kaylee and Simon when he speaks to River. Hwoon dahn means jerk and is said by Jayne in the episode "Bushwhacked". Dong ma means understand. When Inara calls Mal a petty thief, she explains she didn't mean petty, but suo shee, which Mal translates and Inara unfortunately can not save herself from the situation.
