Don't know why, I know it is supposed to be a touching and sterring moment w/e, but from the BDM: Mal: I've tired of sitting and right now I plan to misbehave. Or something along those lines, kinda gave me the giggles and my dads all WTF?? 'Cause he hadn't watched Firefly B4.... I changed that don't worrie none!!! *First person that I converted*

I love the scene from the beginning of "Trash", when Mal's friend is leaving Saffron / Brigit behind, and bellows over the exterior loudspeakers :

" I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL-WOMAN !!! "

And then there's the scene from "Out of Gas" where Zoe and Mal first met Jayne :
I think Mal lead it : "So, who you figure tracked us ?"
Zoe " The ugly one ... "
Mal, looking over Marco and his thugs : "Can you be a bit more specific ?"

And one more - from the same "Out of Gas"

In a flashback to Mal buying Serenity :

Mal : "So, what do you think ?"
Zoe : "Honestly Sir, I think you got robbed."
Mal : "... we get us a machanic, and a pilot. Live like real people ..."
Zoe : "So, she's not running."
Mal : "Not so much, no."
Zoe : "Oh yea. This keeps gettin' better and better."

SANKACOFIE

So many to choose from... the exchange between Kaylee and Simon in Jaynestown was cute.

Kaylee: See! You're doing it right now! What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black.

Simon: It means more out here. It's all I have. I mean... My way of being polite, or however it's...well, it's the only way I have of showing you that I like you. I'm showing respect.

Kaylee: So, when we made love last night...

Simon: When we WHAT?

Kaylee: You really are such an easy mark.

as far as individual lines... Wash has the most and the best:

Wash: Oh my god, it's grotesque! Oh, and there's something in a jar.

Wash: Everything looks good from here...Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "This Land." I think we should call it "your grave!" Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Oh there are so many! I like the line
"Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys?"
I can't remember exactly how it went,I'm having a brain cramp.
Also in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" after Saffron tells Mal about her life in the maiden house and how she cried when they gave her to him.
Mal looks at himself "Is there blubber?"

In "Heart of Gold" after Nandi kisses Mal
"Just waiting to see if I pass out."

Other classics are Book's "special hell" and River and his hair and Zoe's expression, "whoah"
There are of course sooo many more!

I love my captain!

They're all great but one that I can't believe hasn't been mentioned yet (and yes I have read every post...and yes I have no life) is:

Wash: Psychic though? That sounds like something out of science fiction
Zoe: Honey, we live on a spaceship
Wash: So?

And the other one was something so simple it wasn't even a word but a mere sound by Mal. When he first opens the crate and sees River his "heh" sound with a slight nod when I first saw that oh man I was done. I knew this show was AMAZING and from that point on I was hooked namely because that woulda been my reaction.

Ain't that just shiny?

INDYBLUES

Favorite scene is in Objects in Space, when Mal and Jubel are duking it out in the hall, and Jayne is startled awake by the fight, and he pulls the blanket off the wall, exposing his entire arsenal of deadly weapons,...which you would assume he would grab one, and go kick some butt,....yet, he rolls over and covers himself with said blanket, and goes back to sleep.
Classic, and had me cracking up for about 5 minutes after.

I love all the items in this list, but I don't think this one has been mentioned yet.
_________

In the series pilot, Serenity prior to their meeting with Patience, Jayne tests the radio transmitters.

JAYNE
Testing. Testing, Captain, can you hear me?

MAL (deadpan)
I'm standing right here.

JAYNE
(into comm)
You're coming through good and loud.

MAL
'Cause I'm standing right here.

JAYNE
Yeah, well... but...

Ah its like looking thru a wonderful scrapbook reliving these scenes/lines.

My favorite from FF: Bushwhacked when Zoe is being interrogated and refusing to comment on her marriage vs. the immediate cut to Wash gushing about Zoe's legs and the place where they meet her butt.

From the BDM: I often watch it in subtitles when I'm on the treadmill and the discussion that continues between Zoe and Jayne after Mal continues thru to Kaylee- They're talkinga bout the grenades and Zoe is nearly inaudible when she responds, "Jayne, we're robbing the place, not occupyin' it." (paraphrased).

I watched Serenity parts one and two last night and I love the part where Mal kind of grunts after seeing River in the cryo case! I also thought of another one it is not a line but another Mal moment (i love him!) In Our Mrs. Reynolds when Saffron says "But Mr. Reynolds, I'm your wife" and Mal stands there, his eyes go wide, and he blinks disbelieving!

I also noticed in Serenity part two after they talk with Patience " I think that woman's plannin on shootin me again" ( or something close to that )

Jayne: Saint Jayne, it kinda has a ring to it.

Book: I'm just trying to remember how many miracles you've performed.

Jayne: I once hit a guy at 500 yards with a bent scope, don't that count for something upstairs?

Book: Oh, I think it will be taken into consideration.

Jayne: You made that sound kinda ominous.

(Objects in Space)

Also one I'm surprised hasn't been posted already:

Mal: You know they say to never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is on occasion, hilarious.

ANGELICDEATH

Well aside from the whole episode of Jaynestown I would have to say the exchange below is a favorite...

Jayne: It is my very favorite gun.
(holds it out to Mal)

MAL:(beat)[Chinese] - You offering me a trade?!

JAYNE: A trade?! Hell, it's theft. It's the best damn gun
made by man. It has extreme sentimental value. It's
miles more worthy than what you got.

MAL: What I got? She has a name.

JAYNE: So does this. I call it Vera.

MAL: Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly
coming to a middle.

and.....

MAL
Jayne!
(beat)
Go play with your rain stick.

Although it was totally inappropriate, I laughed for about ten minutes at that.

after re-watching all the episodes (for the hundredth-millionth time) I found a couple more in Trash : after Mal sees Yo-saff-bridge ang they have gun trained on each other

Monty: So, you guys have met
and
after wash asks what she's doing on the ship
Jayne: Okay, I got a question, if she's got all the codes why don't she just steal it herself?

Inara: I wonder if it works. Oh well, this one works just fine.

Mal: I hate to interupt your CRAZY TIME.

Jayne: Can I start getting sexed now?

Mal: That one's kinda hideous.

Zoe: Im sorry, you were going to ask me to choose, right?

Simon: We should probably get some rest. It's been an long day what with the abduction and all (or something along those lines).

River: He takes so much looking after.

Jayne: Oh Kaylee, you was just wishing he was a gynocologist.

Jayne: Im smelling a lot of if coming off this plan.

Wash: Can I make a suggestion that doen't involve violence or is this the wrong crowd?

And in closing-Nathan: how would like a bite of that green apple America?

She couldn't just have fun with that ice cream planet.

My favorite has to be in "Heart of Gold."

Jayne: Don't see much point getting involved in other people's troubles without an up-front price negotiation.

Zoë: As I said, no-one's forcing you to go. This job is purely speculative.

I think i have answered this but there are So many funny scenes in Firefly. 'Mrs Reynolds' is the best example. The whole 'You have a wife?' scene at the beginning, Jayne: 'How come you get a wife and all I got was a dumb ass stick, that sounds like it's raining?'. Inara: 'Mal be a human being for once!'. Later on, Book: 'That special Hell' talk. That episode is pure comic gold. Makes me laugh out loud until i'm crying everytime :)

Now, you must remember its a very tense scene... in War Stories when Mal and Wash are being tortured and keep arguing about Zoe and Wash has enough and says, "Screw you!!" Mal simply replies, "Get in line!"

I laugh everytime, caught in the moment and then WAM!!!

Another tense scene, in BDM, after they get back from the heist when the Reavers attack. Zoe is asking Mal about the man he pushed off the mule, "Mule won't run with five. I should've dumped the girl? Or you? Or Jayne? (beat) Oh, Jayne..."

Hi-larious!!!

And, as has been said... every moment we get to spend with our BD Heroes is treasure!

yep I love shindig. As you can see from my auto its 1 of my funniest scenes . Mal: 'can we get an invite' .

Another part from shindig I really liked was when Kaylee was talking with all the guys about engines. She just seemed so pleased, especially when the guy asks her to dance but everyone else won't let her go. Plus she shows up the guy about the 80-10 machines.

The first time I saw the pilot episode I laughed out loud at the sight of Kaylee sitting in that chair on Serenity's ramp twiddling her parasol. It was so completely incongruous beside the very functional (to say the least of it) ship. She's so sweet!

The first time i watched it, i thought the whole torture scene in War Stories was hi-larious. Y'know, arguing about a woman whilst in severe amounts of pain is just so damn trivial, but then i realised what Mal was doing, trying to keep Wash from breaking and all that.
Oh, and also Early in OiS. He and Simon are searching for River, and suddenly he stops and...
licks the ship?
made me piss myself with laughter.

There are so many one liners that became even more funny at the actors/characters expressions in saying ir reacting to it. My thoughts are all a flutter, I can't get one quote straight.

In the deleted scene between Simon and River in OMR, oh that was just priceless. I cracked up so hard, and Summer Glau pulled it off to a T.
