Been lurking for a while. Love this thread.
For me, everytime River says something that the others ignore or brush aside...
TrainJob (although no one hears) 2 by 2, hands of Blue.
In Ariel when she doesn't want to go through the door
In Out of Gas when she says fire.
I feel so bad for her it makes my stomach hurt.
Makes me want to kick them all ans say LISTEN TO HER.
And in the BDM when Book says "I don;t care what you believe, just believe whatever she" You know he is telling Malcolm to trust in River.

First of all, I’ve gotta agree with Kanger33:
Quote:
Simon in Safe: "Light it."
Oh. My. God. Can love be any more pure and dedicated than that?
My personal gut-wrenchers:
(Some of these have been said before but they're so good they bear repeating!)
"You gave up everything you had to find me... you found me broken. It’s hard for you. You gave up everything you had..."
"Mei-mei, everything I have is right here."
"Merciful God, make me a stone."
"Baby! Come on! We gotta go!"
ANY time I hear "I am a leaf on the wind..."
(When Wash snaps at Mal, "It’s okay, I’m a leaf on the wind!" I want to laugh and cry!)
Finally, the moment in which I knew I was hooked on Firefly was when I first watched OoG and saw Mal collapse onto the deck. Seeing him in so much pain and seeing Serenity so empty and lonely made me realize how much I had come to care about the characters.

I know, I love that story, especially because it came true!! Awwww.
Also, I know this has been posted and I agree with all the previous posts in the BDM.
Zoe screams at Wash to come on baby, we gotta go, just gets to me and basically every thing said after that until the end of the movie.
Especially when Kaylee asks where Wash is, and after Simon gets shot and talks to River. He still wanting to help Kaylee even though he is seriously injured too.
I'm a leaf on the wind....Watch how I soar.
Wash: Captain, don't you know kissin' girls makes ya sleepy? Mal: Sometimes I just can't help myself.

The individual lines have been mentioned already but reading this thread I'm particularly struck by the way the Simon/River moments develop over the course of the series and movie.
"Everything I have is right here."
"No, mei mei. Time to wake up."
"You are my beautiful sister."
"Bullet in the brainpan, squish!"
"I hate to leave..."
"You won't. You take care of me, Simon. You always take care of me. My turn."
Every single one of these gets me every time. And Summer is really an extraordinary actress - who else could almost make you cry with the word "squish"?

All the Mal Inara stuff that got cut from the BDM.
'Why did you leave..." and so forth.
Also, when Mal heads into Mr. Universe's place, after telling the crew to hold. On his way in he and Inara share a long look. Theres so much spoken there, it made me teary. Those two. I heart angst, what can I say.
"...once you've been on Serenity, you never leave...you just learn how to live there."

The Message:
Jayne: "My kinda life don't last long, Preacher, so I expect I'm invested in makin' good sport of it whilst I can. You gonna read over me when I get taken down, Shepherd?"
Jayne knows exactly who and what he is that he won't have twilight years in a rocking chair on the front porch.

My favorite, I mean ABSOLUTE favorite, is from Out of Gas. . . I know you guys have said it a million and one times already, but dammit I'm saying it again!
"Ya'll gonna be here when I wake up?"
Also, from Out Of Gas
"Everybody dies alone. . ."
From Safe
"Time to go."
Everything is broken
There's nothing that is real
Can you help me?
I've forgotten
Forgotten how to feel

The end of "The Message' is even more moving because the cast and crew just found out that day of shooting that our beloved series was cancelled

"Haven't you killed me enough for one day ?"

it's not a line but in the pilot when Mal looks up and sees the aliance ships, and the music that plays you just feel his heartbreak
