I can't quote it exactly but it's when Simon is talking to River before they take her on the robbery...

Simon: Now if there's any trouble you just drop to the floor or run away...It's ok for you to leave them to die.

I thought some of the best lines were ones most people missed such as
Jayne: Three mags and my swingin' cod.

or in the beginning as Mal walks away from the bridge,
Mal: Just get us on the ground.
Wash: That part 'll happen pretty definitely

or,
Jayne: I think its Noble as a grape the way you look to your sister...

"Storms getting worse."
"We'll pass through it soon enough."

I thought the best lines from the movie which got a lot of laughs from the ppl in the theater I saw it in:
In the begining the whole password thing. Lots of laughs


Simon: Are you ok?

River: I swallowed a bug.


Wash: Can we start with the part where Jayne gets beat up by a 90 pound girl cause I don't think that's gonna get old.


(After breaking into the vault with hardly any money.)

Zoe: At last, we can give up this life of crime.

Simon explaining the safe word.

Jayne: Well don't say it!
Zoe: It only works on her, Jayne.
Jayne:Oh... Well, now I know that.

and of course who could forgot this line?

Kaylee: Goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!

and the Hell with this line! Mucho, mucho laughs!! The list goes on and on...

Honestly, I don't believe that we forgot Mal's hi-larious line:

While I'm gone, Zoe is in command. Now, if I'm not back in an hour, I want you to take the ship... and you come and you rescue me!

Zoe: "You don't actually think any of us are gone live through this do you?"

Jayne: "....I might"

My favorite line- the one that even when I'm in the worst mood imaginable all someone has to say, all I have to think of is Simon saying to Jayne

"You're like a trained ape, with out the training"

It brings a big everytime

One line that always gets me chuckling...

Mal: Now doctor, i'm taking your sister under my protection here. If anything happens to her, anything at all, i swear, im gonna get very choked up. Honestly, there could be tears.

Or...

Mal: Buddha, please bring me a pony, a plastic rocket,and one of those...

Then same scene...

The operative: captain Reynolds, you cant anger me.
Inara: Please, spend an hour with him.

And again...

The operative: I'm not threatening you, im unarmed...
Mal: Good.
*bang*

hee hee hee.

Yup. Love that moment too. Great line! The look of panic in the Operative's face - from a man that keeps a mostly calm exterior throughout the film - is classic!

There are too many great lines in the movie... It's hard to pick one.

Although, I love facial expressions too. Especially River's frown. (When she gestures to Zoe during the heist and when Simon asks if he's talking to Miranda. )

My journal on RottenTomatoes has a list of the laugh lines in Serenity, compiled back in mid-October.

I think I got nearly all of the ones listed here, and maybe a few others. After seeing the movie (quite a few) more times since then, I might change some of the ordering -- one or two of the "big laughs" section would be demoted, and some of the "lesser laughs" promoted.

Here's a link to the list:

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.
