G. Gordon Liddy used to tell a story of while he was in prison his wife confronted a burglar at gunpoint in front of their 5 children. When he started becoming uncooperative, she reportedly said, "see mommy make the bad man dead." He waited quietly while the police were on their way.

Was that episode before or after Mal kicked the tied up thug into the engine intake? :lol:

No the line was from the original two hour pilot episode. Mal kicks the guy into the engine in the episode "The Trainjob" (IIRC) which the episode right after the pilot.

It is your corrupt we claim.It is your evil that will be sought by us.With every breath, we shall hunt them down.Each day we will spill their blood til it rains down from the skies.Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.These are not polite suggestions. These are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain. But if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three and on that day you will reap it. And we will send you to which ever god you wish.And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. We shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti"

Well, dammit, cut me some slack. I had a busy night at work. :lol:
