Definately the duo interogation scenes of Zoe and Wash in Bushwacked - I don't have the exact quote but she's all stonefaced and "We're private people" and he's going on and on about how sexy she is...

lol - "Have you ever been with a warrior woman?"

In the Train Job, when Zoe and Mal are returning the crates of stolen mediciine, they find the sheriff.

(not exact)
Sherrif: "A man takes a job and he might not look to closely at what it is. But when he sees a situation like ours... well, he has a choice."

Mal: "I don't believe he does."

I think this quote above really shows Mal's character. He's willing to help people at the risk of himself and his crew at the hands of Niska.

I also like the quote that's in my tag line
"Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good one. Well, I'm alright."

My favorite line has to be in Safe when they are about to burn River and Mal and Zoe show up and the evil villager says " she's a witch"
Mal's response " Yeah, but she's our witch, cut her down" is so great!

EDIT- and in Objects in Space at the end when River says "permission to come aboard captain" and Mal looks at her and really sees her and you see that bemused affection for her and she giggles..so sweet

The "Some people juggle geese" line always makes me laugh.

Oh and the whole speach that Wash does in War Stories the speach when hes on about being in a fire fight and it just ends up him having got fired from a fry cook job excellent bit of writing.

Hallo, newbie here.

Don't have the whole exchange in memory, but it's the one in 'Out of Gas' where Mal is trying to motivate Kaylee. He's speaking very gently to her and at one point says, "You like breathin', don't you?" and then, "Me, too."

He's so *sweet* to her, in an incredibly tense situation, when he'd just chosen a much harsher tone for motivating Wash. He picks just the right way to lead the individuals in that crew, because he understands them each so well.

ok there's one other I just about die laughing every time I hear..
Inara-" what did I say about entering my shuttle without knocking"
Mal- " That it was manly and impulsive"
Inara- yes, only I believe the word I used was don
't"

It so perfectly showcases their relationship

War stories...

WASH
Bastard's not gonna get days.

Mal built that toughness and loyalty into Wash by leading by example. Just good stuff.

Here it is [from memory, but i think i have it right]:

"I've been in a firefight. Well, i've been in a fire. Actually... i got fired, from a fry cook opportunity."

He didn't actually have the job even! That's a really funny one.

One i've always liked is Simon's "You're like a trained ape, without the training." and "To Jayne, the box-dropping, man-ape gone wrong thing."

And another favorite is the whole exchange b/w Wash and Jayne in Out of Gas:
"Wait, are you sayin' she's a witch?!"
"Yes Jayne, she's a witch. She has had congress with the Beast!"
"...She's in Congress?"
"How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious."

Hi-larious!

Hmmm... lines that make me cringe... I think all of them are River.

See my tagline, I love "Doing it backwards, walking up the downslide." It's such a great metaphor for what they're doing in Ariel, breaking into a hospital in order to cure someone.

Objects in Space, I love the line "I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early". It's some combination of the look on Simon's face, of course the look on river's face, and the dilivery.

And Safe, even though I have it recorded and have seen it 50 bazillion times when I've lent my dvds out... "Postholers. Digging holes for posts." Combined with the music, Summer does this really incredible acting job, she turns at looks at Simon, while tied to a stake, about to die, and she says...

"Postholers. Digging holes for posts." in the sweetest, most pitiful way, that she doesn't realize what's happening at that moment, the delivery and her face is so innocent.

I just love that. And I love that Simon feels the same damn way, and upon seeing that, gets up on the stake with her. It's an old cliche plot, but they really make it fresh.

"But, these strong women characters?"

Hiya everyone. This is my first post on fireflyfans.net so apologise in advance if i go on for too long!

There are so many brilliant lines and memorable moments in such few episodes. The fact that there are so many people who have embraced a show with only 14 episodes speaks volumes about how damn fine all the writing is in the show. I guess the quote that sum up the whole show for me is.

Simon: 'You had the law on you, criminals and
savages... half the people on the ship have been shot or wounded including yourself, and you're
harboring known fugitives.

Mal: 'We're still flying.'

Simon:'That's not much'.

MAL: 'It's enough.'

Well i guess it not a single quote but being a new recruit to the Browncoats (Watched my first episode a couple of months back and haven't looked back), to me it just sums up the whole show as well as the struggle faced by fans and crew alike trying to continue the our 'verse'.

As for favourite single quote (well...for today anyway).
Jayne: 'Lets move this conversation in a not Jaynes fault direction'!
