I will always love the scene that introduces Wash in Serenity. I was an Alan Tudyk fan before I watched Firefly and I was pleased to know that his brilliance would be fully utilized the first time I watched it.

I just started reading through the scripts, and found this from 'The Train Job'. Hilarious! Too bad it wasn't filmed!
WASH
We start flying with the hatch
open, keeping her steady is gonna
be a job of work, so you strap in.
JAYNE
You get me killed, I'm a come back
as a ghost and punch your liver
out.
WASH
Well, there goes Plan A...
JAYNE
I'm not messing around. You'd
best run straight or you'll get a
boxing.
WASH
You sound like my father. Which
is weird because you look more
like my mother.
JAYNE
One of these days --
A beeping. Wash looks at his monitors.
WASH
We're close. Get down there.
JAYNE
(as he goes)
Hell, I ever call you out, you'd
probably just hide behind the Mrs.
WASH
(working the panels)
Go.
(a beat. To himself:)
My liver?

All of these are my favorites. Everything he said was great. One of the true colorful characters in TV history.
A couple of my faves are:
"Ours is a peaceful race"- The Message.
I also love Alan in general, especially at the end of the FF pilot when there's a shot of them on the bridge and they're celebrating their victory and he's holding on to...NOTHING! He's too far back from the controls, but he's got his hands there anyway. Hilarious!

In Serenity, when Mal has just been beaten by the Assasin and they're onboard Serenity talking about River with Inara.
Simon says- Did he say anything about Miranda?
Inara- No. What is that?
Zoe- Dont know who or what, but is on rivers mind.
Inara- could it be some kind of threat to the alliance?
And comic genius Wash says 'Do we care?' and the camera zooms slightly on him. 'are we caring about that?' his face, just before Jayne leans forward is an absolute masterclass in comic delivery. May he rest in peace

Whoa. Good myth.
It's all in the delivery folks, all in the delivery.
I think a little chaos is in order.

A toast...
*hands around afore-mentioned alcohol*
To Wash, our leaf on the wind, the wings of Serenity.

She's terse... I can be terse. Once, in college, I was laconic.

Saw a new favorite the other night. I love in the pilot when Wash is talking to Zoe about getting time off.
Wash: Call him 'Sir,' he likes that.
And then when Mal comes in later and she calls him 'Sir,' the little thumbs up and the corresponding face Wash makes just kills me. Comedy gold.

The exchange that defined the entire show:
Wash: Yeah, but a psychic? That sounds like something out of science fiction.
Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.
(Beat)
Wash: So?

Most of my favorite quotes have already been posted, but the in leiu...one of my very favorite scenes for any of the characters, but Wash and Zoe mostly...
"Her legs. Definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down. Her legs and where her legs meet her back. Actually that whole area. That and above it."
And of course--
"Can we start dealing in black market beagles?"
And--
"Did she really make fresh bao? QUAINT!"
And--
"Maybe a naked beach?"
Sigh...I miss Wash. Whoever will provide witty comic relief, dinosaurs, and Zoe a husband in seasons to come? (See that? That right there is the power of positive thinking. Also known as delusion.)
Wife soup!
