Without a doubt, River, in Jaynestown:

logistics - doesn't make sense."

Mal: “Mercy is the mark of a great man. (stabs Atherton) Guess I'm just a good one. (stabs Atherton again) Well, I'm alright.”
Trainjob:
"You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here. "
Two of my favorites but really I like them all

This has got to be one of the hardest decisions... I think my all time favorite is:
Mal: Ain't no way in the 'verse they can find that compartment even... even if they were looken for it
Zoe: Why not?
Mal: ... cause
Zoe: Oh yeah, this is gonna go great.
Mal: If anyone gets nosey, just shoot'em
Zoe: Shoot 'em?
Mal: Polietly
I was actually very surprised that no one had posted it before today. someone beat me by only a couple hours.
Another one that I really like that hasn't been posted yet is:
Jayne: Captin? Captin can you hear me?
Mal: I'm standin' right here.
Jayne: You're comin' in good and loud.
Mal: That's cuz I'm standin' right here.
Jayne: Well, yeah but... the transmitters...
OOH! and then I like: (off the top of my head, hope it's right)
Mal: I did a job, and I got nothin' but trouble since I did it, not to mention some unkind words as regrad to my character. So let me make this ubundantly clear: I do a job, and then I get paid. Go run your little world.
Other favs:
Book: If you take sexual advantage of her, you're
going to burn in a very special level of hell.
A level they reserve for child molesters and
people who talk at the theater.
Wash: What could it be, we're all doomed, who's flying this thing?!?! Oh, that would be me.
Mal: Public relations
Mal: If you got guests, I can come back later
Wash: Yes, this is a firtile land and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land and we will call it... This Land. I think we should call it Your Grave. Ahh, curse your sudden but enevitable betrayal. Ha, ha, ha- mine is an evil laugh- now die! Ahh, no God
Mal: Now you can luxuriate in a nice
jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.
Need help on this one. I don't know exactly what she says.
River: (talking about Simon's birthday) caporial years... stellar- blah, blah jargon. *pause* I didn't get you anything.
And of coarse the theme song hast to count for something. It's just way too cool to ignore.
Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.
Anyway, you all know the rest...
Oh! and I just came up with a very good one for my signature. I don't think anyone else is using it as a signature, but if you are... sorry.
When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you.

Heh, I feel like an idiot. For some reason I just now got the rather obvious irony and foreshadowing there, given what happened later to Mal in "War Stories". Damn, this show sure ages well.

"..and here's to all the dreamers, may our open hearts find rest." -- Nanci Griffith
I don't know whether I should feel like an idiot, but I just made a realization about the last verse of the theme song:
There's no place I can be,
Since I found Serinity
At first I thought it was referring to the ship, but then I made the connection to the part when Zoe tells Simon about why Mal named the ship after the valley and the battle they lost there.
Once you're in Serenity, you never leave it. You learn to live there. Or something like that.
Did anyone else miss that?
Anyway, SergeantX, I didn't get that connection until you mentioned it.
When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you.

Wow... this list has been up for days, and yet you and I were the only ones who thought to post that same quote, and w/ in hours of each other... wooo...karma? heh heh
Lets face it, most of the show can be quoted, its almost to the level of...dare I say it... Monty Python? Gee, I hope thats not blashemy for anyone here.....
Mal: How's business?
Inara: None of yours.

It would have been more meaningful with that deleted scene included.
You would figure with that kind of mental scarring, Mal and Zoe would be plagued by shell-shock and nightmares. I guess there is the funny way they eat their apples.

Though it'd probably be easier to come up with a list of least favorite lines (since there aren't any), here's some great ones (I'm trying hard to mention ones that haven't already been quoted):
Mal, befuddled at Wash's insisting on coming along on a mission: I'm lost, I'm angry... and I'm armed.
Wash, about Zoe's terseness: Right. Less talking. She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.
Jayne's crude assessment of River: It's a girl. She's cute, too, but I don't think she's all there, y'know? 'Course, not all of her has to be...
River, having trouble with her dessert: My food is problematic.
Jayne, eager to make use of his rehearsed dialogue: We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.
Jayne, asking Mal not to reveal his attempted betrayal of Simon and River: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.
River freaking out over Book's voluminous hair, Zoe trying to help:
BOOK
River? Why don't you come out?
RIVER
No! I can't. Too much hair.
ZOE
Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the
hair away now.
RIVER
It'll still be there....waiting.

Oh, c'mon. That is one of my FAVORITE lines.
I guess it comes down to how you feel about being armed.
