Quote:

"Are they by any chance near the beehives?" Holmes asked.
"Five or so yards away."
"Excellent." -- Possibly said in a Mr. Burns voice...

Quote:

"You know how to drive?" I asked.
"Not as such." he replied.

The Magnificent Nine

Lovegrove, James
Firefly, #2. Jayne is asked by a former lover to help her town repel a gang of thugs.

Quote:

Temperance hit the transmit button on the shortwave communicator in her hand. -- "Shortwave"??

Quote:

Some were on motorcycles. Some were on quad bikes. One had a dune buggy. -- I found this not science fiction-ish.

Quote:

... tethered to a stunted Joshua tree. -- Really? A Joshua tree on a planet a zillion miles from Earth?
