GM - Yep.
Player - Ours are bigger right?
GM - Doubtlessly.

Player - I SAID Clive takes out the security guard while we rush Santa.
Seriously I love some of the bits in Firefly / Serenity. Some of the best PC lines ever are in that movie.
Sure would be nice to have some grenades about now!
I am unarmed.
BLAM!
I am of course wearing full body armour, I'm not a moron.
