Humm.... Can I choose one from the movie and one from the series? Is that allowed. I don't care, I'm going to do it anyway.
Probably my favorite scene from the series is one that has already been posted (Danielfyre already posted it). Here it is:

Mal: "But she does have an oddness to her.
And I ain't just talking about her proficiency with firearms. Girl knows things. Things she shouldn't. Things she couldn't."

Jayne : "Wha-...are you-are you sayin' she's a witch?"

Wash: "Yes, Jayne. She's a witch. She has had congress with the beast."

Jayne: "She's in Congress?"

Wash: "How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious."

My favorite scene from the movie? I have two that tie. The first is when the crew is just getting off Serenity and they're in the bar. Mal is about to go and finish the deal with Fanty and Mingo and Kaylee is complainig to him.

Kaylee: "I haven't had anything 'twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries goin' on a year now"

Mal: "Oh, GOD! I can't know that!"

Jayne: "I could stand here a little longer."

My other favorite one is also another Kaylee moment. When Jayne, Zoe, Inara, Simon, Kaylee and River are all bunkered infront of the blast doors preparing to fight the Reevers. Simon tells Kaylee that he regrets not being with her. Her response is classic:

Kaylee: "You mean, like sex? Forget this! I'm gonna live!"

Wacky fun!

That is a very hard question to answer.

I like the 'Crazy Ivan' in the pilot. Kaylee's 'You are a nice man, Captain' scene in Pilot. Through the window bar brawl 'We'll rise again' and 'blow a hole in this little moon' scene in 'The Train Job'. The torture scene in 'War Stories' is very good. 'Y'all gonna be here when I wake up in 'Out of Gas', very emotional scene. Everybody mesmerized by Jayne's statue in 'Jaynestown', very funny. In BDM the first shot of Serenity and the cockpit scene with Wash and Mal, very funny. The scene where Mals says 'This is what I do darlin' to River and then they board the Mule.

OK If I have to pick 1 it's 'Y'all gonna be here when I wake up in' OoG. Only coz its my favourite episode.

Mal walking through Serenity alone in OoG, closing all the doors behind him and then getting out the blanket and wrapping it around himself. It's beautifully done, especially with that piece of music.

The line that always makes me laugh is one of Jayne's, from the "Shindig" episode. The scene is Badger's little 'office/hideout' space, and he's serving them drinks, and they're conversing. Badger begins the little line of dialogue like this:

Badger: Had a problem with your attitude is why. Felt you was--what's the word?

Jayne: Pretentious?

Badger: Exactly.

The little face motion he does when he says the line and the look Mal gives him afterwards just kills me every time.

"Serenity is knowing your worst shot is still pretty good."

as for fave line its gotta b
"U know what the chain of command is? It a big chain i go and get and beat u with untill u understand whos in charge here"
mainly cause its so hilerious and cause thts exactly wot Jayne would do if he were in charge.

I aint got a fave scene but the scenes in the film where River takes on the bar and the reavers are awsome cause i was waitin for that all thru fire fly and we onli got to see a glimpse during War Stories.

They Killed off Wash and Shepard!

For a show that excelled at subtle, complex, and often profound moments I think (perhaps) the most subtle and most complex and most profound - and most true to character - moment was the end of Jaynestown.

Jayne's "why'd he have to go and do that" and "ain't a one o' them understood what they saw" lines (forgive the rough paraphrasing) are simplistic feelings on Jayne's part, but hint at him scratching the surface of a deeper world with deeper feelings than he's previously known.

Even after Mal explains it - "ain't about you, it's about what they need" - he's still in denial of sorts (trying to resist tapping into that deeper world - ignorance IS bliss) and says something to the effect of "don't make no damn sense."

It's a kind of blue-collar profoundness (is that a word? Profundity?) perfectly articulated.

Ok, this isn't the hardest question, but it's right up there with the time my little brother asked me why some people were always mean to him.
I have to say it's the moment in Out Of Gas, where Mal decides to send the crew off in the two shuttles, I almost cried to see the looks on their faces as they realised they might have to leave Serenity and it's captain for dead

In the series, I'd have to say in OIS when River gives her speach to Early about how she doesn't belong, is dangerous, etc. They cut to the crew and you can see that they finally realise that even though she is a bit crazy she still has felt how alone she is there.

The scene in the BDM that always cracks me up is when Kaylee and Simon start making out and move out of camera. Next thing you see is River looking out of the hatch down at them. I always wonder just how much of an eyeful she gets.

so many, and this probably isnt THE best, but its the best one I can think of right now.

At the end of Objects in Space when River asks Mal: "Permission to come aboard captian" and the look they exchange. I love it.
