For me, it's the gorram Message. Every time. Near the end, where Tracey lays dying and...you know the rest...

For me it was Out of Gas at the end when the Mal woke up and all the BDHs where there. When he asked them if they were going to still be there when he woke up. That scene always gets to me. I guess I like it because there is a sense of love in that scene.

Another scene that always chokes me a bit is the last scene from the Train Job. where that sheriff guy and his deputy catches Mal and Zoë trying to sneak that medicine back to town, and the Sheriff says to Mal "When a man takes a job, and doesn’t look too closely at what that job is, but when a man finds out what that job is, he has a choice too make." Mal looks at him and says something like “no he doesn’t”, meaning in that kind of situation, the only choice is doing the right thing, by giving that medication to the people who needed it.

To me that line that Mal said showed that he was a man of integrity; an honorable man. In the end, he's on the side of good. I'm always touched by scenes like that.

Another scene is from Arial, at the end of the show when Mal gets on Jayne’s case about the fact that when he messes with the crew, he's actually messing with Mal himself, and Mal takes that as a complete back-stab. He’s protective of his crew and if you decide to mess with any of them, you will have to deal with Mal. This is the sort of guy I've always wanted in my life...that kind of love and protectiveness, so I always get a little misty-eyed whenever I see that scene.

And lastly, the ending scene from Safe. When the crew was sitting down for dinner. It had a nice feeling of family. Warmth, love, understanding, and a sense of belonging, which is something I think most of us want and desire deep down inside.

Safe. Every time River says "You found me broken" I just start to get all weepy.

Being the manly man that I am I cannot actually admit to crying but...At the end of Out of Gas when we see Mal as he first saw Serenity. That part is a killer. Objects in Space when River is telling Simon why it would be better for her to go with Early. That one is pretty tough too. Last but not least, every time River has a serious meltdown, not the funny ones, it is just so hard not to feel bad for her.

Definitely Out of Gas. The music just conveys the emotions of the scenes so well that the score combined w/ Nathan's acting just get me choked up every time.

The Message get to me too at the end where Tracy's message is playing as they carry him off the ship. You see everyone's face, Jayne taking off his hat, and that look from Mal. That hits me too.

The Message, without a doubt. Always gets me.
A lot of the other episodes have their teary moments, too.

Holding until you get back, Captain.

Same as other folks: end of Out of Gas and end of The Message.

And, I know you didn't ask, but I had to add that the most teary-eyed that I get is in the BDM, after Simon is shot, and he and River share a moment. No wonder Summer kept crying while filming that scene that they had to do several takes. Powerful stuff. Also, at the end when Mal tells River that love is what keeps a ship in the air.

Hell, I'm gettin' teary-eyed right now typing this and thinking about those scenes!
