ok i could not choose one so here are three

1. River: Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!
Simon: You are my beautiful sister.
River: I threw up on your bed.
Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

2.Jayne: Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature.
Mal: How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?
Jayne: If I could make you purtier, I would.
Mal: You are not the man I met a year ago.

3.Early: Where'd she go?
Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

ok i lied heres four

4.Early: You folks are all insane.
Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

Favorite Serenity quote: "For this moment, I would give up many things, including logic or knowledge of any science, which actually I gave up at about age 15." -- Joss Whedon commentary about the Alliance/Reaver battle.

Favorite Firefly quote: "No! No I don't!"

"I also hear that there's something called Firefly, which is either a canceled science-fiction television show or a new religion, I'm not clear on that. Either way, prayers for the resurrection are involved." – Lore Sjoberg

My favorite moment, as Ive mentioned, is when Mal opens River's cryo-box thingy, looks in and goes, "Huh?!" but that's not really a quote so I'll just list some I like.

"You wanna meet the real me now?!"

"We live on a space ship dear."

"That ain't no shepherd"

cool quote ness
i was watching more episodes and had to write this one down... so lets change whats your favorite quote to whats your favorate ten quotes from Firefly

5.SIMON
My God, you're like a trained ape!
Without the training. No, apes are
noble creatures, you're some sort of
man-ape-thing that went horribly
wrong.

6.MAL
The management here don't take so
kind to sightseein'. Which is why
we'll be posing as buyers. And there
isn't a one of us looks more the part
than the good Doctor.
(looks Simon over)
The pretty fits, the soft hands,
definitely a moneyed individual rich
and lily-white and pasty all over--

All right. Fine. I'll go. Just, stop

There are just too many great oneliners in the show to count or to pick one, but my favorite moment in the whole series, and the moment at which I realized that I *loved* this show:

River: Sure, I got a secret. More'n one. Don't seem likely I'd tell 'em to you, do it? Anyone off Dyton Colony know's better'n to talk to strangers. You're talking loud enough for the both of us, though, ain't you? I've known a dozen like you. Skipped off home early, minor graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lock-down, I warrant, but less than you claim. Now you're what, petty thief with delusions of standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.

Badger: Nice to see someone from the old homestead.

River: Not really. [To Simon:] Call me f'anyone interesting shows up.

Badger: I like her.

By the way, in case you're wondering where that last quote came from, it was in "The Message" that never aired but is on the DVD set. I sort of summarized it, but in the show it sounds something like this:

Tracey(Dying): "When you can't walk, you crawl...
and when you can't do that..."
Zoe: "You find someone to carry you."

My favorite Firefly quote?

Zoë: River, honey, he's putting away the hair now.
River: Doesn't matter. It'll still be there...waiting.

Of course seeng Ron Glass with almost the exact same hair style he had on Barney Miller in the 70's was a hoot all by itself.

And...yeah I loved the outtake in Serenity that a few people above mentioned. But I think my favorite part of it was seeing the looks on the others in the scene as they realised just what Nathan was actually saying. That was priceless.

I think the whole scene in Bushwhacked where they're being interrogated by Harken is hilarious...Not sure exactly how these go but, just watched the episode today:

-"Is there any particular reason you don't discuss your marriage?"
-"Don't see that it's any of your business, is all. We're very private people."
*cuts to Wash*
-"The legs! Definitely have to say it's her legs! You can put that down..."

After that point I found it hard to stop laughing for a while...Then this happened and I nearly died:

*silence*
*Harken stares*
*Jayne stares*

Mine is "The body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds with adequate vacuuming systems" by River.

Doesnt seem very impressive but let me put it in context 4 ya.

With a slashed jugular spraying blood at a rate similar to a thumb over the end of a hose, it takes 2 mins to loose enough blood to kill you. Thats just to kill you, not to loose all your blood. Quick aint it
