I especially love these two quotes:
Jayne: Anyone remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife?
Wash: [smiling] Wacky fun.
Jayne: You wanna go, little man?!
Wash: Only if it's someplace with candlelight.
Jayne: Are you saying River's a witch?
Wash: Yes, Jayne, she's a witch. She's had congress with the Beast.
Jayne: She's in Congress?
Wash: How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious!
That one always gets me!!

Here's one I loved:
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the minute. What will she do next?
Zoe: Either blow us up or rub soup in her hair. It's a toss-up.
Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

These are my favourite Wash quotes as well. Every character on Firefly has an episode where they were at their best and for Wash, it was "objects in space"

How could you forget
"Tell me. I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it."
Even though the context is serious, the innate "Washness" comes through shining.
"Jayne's a girl's name."

"Do we care? Are we caring about that?"
That's one from Serenity that I really like, right before Jayne pounds his fist on the table and says "Gorramnit! The only person she's a threat to is us on this boat!"
Oh I almost forgot
Kaylee: Don't worry, no one's saying that.
Wash: No one but Jayne is saying that.

"Terse, I can be terse. Once in flight school I was laconic."
It's just... why bring it up? Laconic and terse mean almost the same thing.
And Alan Tudyk always seems to play comedic roles. See A Knight's Tale for some other brilliant deliveries, such as:
"Uh, betray us, and I will fong you, until your insides are out, your outsides are in, your entrails will become your extrails I will w-rip... all the p... ung. Pain, lots of pain."
To fong means to kick in Old English, btw. He was called Wat in that particular film...

No, THIS is what going mad feels like.

I love this scene not so much for Wash's lines, but for his delivery. :: choke, sob:: Why, Joss? WHY?!!!
Wash: Mmm. Wife soup. I must have done good.
Zoë: [kisses the top of his head] Yes, dear. You done good. But this is a one time thing, so I suggest you savor it.
Mal: [Mal enters dining area] Did you tell her?
Wash: [looks up warily] Tell her what?
Mal: [to Zoë] Your husband has demanded that we sleep together.
Zoë: Really.
Wash: [looking a bit panicky] What? Mal, come on...
Mal: He seems to think it would get all this burning sexual tension out in the open. You know, make it a fair fight for your womanly affections...
Wash: No! That was just the torture talking...
[looking up at Zoë pleading]
Wash: Remember? The torture?
Mal: [walks to Zoë, takes one of her hands and places it on his hip, then with his other hand, moves some hair off her shoulder, sporting a deadpan expression] Private, it's a difficult mission - but you and I have to get it on.
Zoë: [looks at Wash who is struggling to get to his feet, then looks back at Mal and puts her free hand on his shoulder. Also with a deadpan expression] I understand. We have no choice. Take me, sir. Take me hard.
Jayne: [Jayne who has just begun to enter the dining hall, hearing this looks up with a very uncomfortable look on his face] Now somethin' about that is just downright unsettlin'.
Wash: [as Mal and Zoë get closer to kiss - looking like two teenagers on their first date, Wash steps in grabs Zoë's arm and pulls her to the door of the dining hall] We'll be in our bunk.

Another of my faves, from Bushwacked...
"Oh my God... we're all doomed... who's FLYING this thing?" *beat* "Oh, right, that would be me."
And from War Stories...
"Now I'm learning about scary!"
-----------------------
"That part'll happen pretty definitely."

Of course the classic "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
but I also love the sequence where the crew are being interrogated,and Zoe's being cagey and says that her and Wash are private people. then cut to Wash rambling about how great Zoe is, and how he was first attracted to her legs. That moment is just so...Wash. lol

Mal: Wheel never stops turning, Badger.
Badger: That only matters to the people on the rim.

I can't believe no one mentioned:
Wash: This is going to get interesting.
Mal: Define interesting.
Wash: [In the most nonchalant voice immaginable] Oh god oh god we're all going to die?
