Mine would definitely be in "War Stories" when Mal and Wash are being tortured by Niska. Wash says that Zoe always listens to Mal and he replies that she doesn't...when questioned about this, he shouts "She married you!"

Man oh man, I'm not sure if he says it to keep Wash awake or if something really happened there.

LOVEd it though, certainly caught me by surprise.

You're very close. I believe the line is "Kaylee, what the hell's going on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?"

*********SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T WATCHED THEIR DELETED SCENES YET*****************



Sounds kinda wierd putting this response in a category called Fireflygasms, but the deleted scene from Our Mrs. Reynolds where River just so happily announces that she wants Book to marry her and Simon was just priceless. She's so happy, Simon's more shocked than a careless electrician, and Book... I think he he thinks it's kind of cute, peculiar ol' buzzard.
A close second would be Jayne and Mal's exchange after Ariel. It told a lot about what they were really like, and revealed sides to each other they probably didn't recognize before. Plus, I was foaming at the mouth for what Jayne had done, but in the end, his line "Don't tell 'em what I done... make somethin' up." pretty well redeemed him for me.

oh man, theres a bunch. Im going to put all the ones i can possible think of, in no kind of order.

Can't remember the episode but after Mal yells at kaylee (the "did monkeys get loose in the engein room?" thing) he says something like, kaylee leaves, and mal folowes, then sticks his head back in and goes "you got time to do my hair?"

in the message-Wash comes into the room with the "alein life form" and goes "Oh my god it's grotesqe, oh look a thing in a jar."

war stories - wash "Now I'm learning about carrying."

the message - Zoe is saying something about how in war you have to be stealthy and quiet, and mal comes screaming on shoutung "You want me? Come and get me!"

Heart of gold - kaylee "Did you notice something funny about the cap'n this morning?"
wash "Of course not, we all know I'm the funny one"

then of course theres the "This land" and the "Chain of command" lines, totaly clasic.

Oh yeah, that's a great one. What a bummer that had to be deleted for time. It was just so hilarious.

You know. . .The song has particular meaning to me for three reasons. The more obvious reason being that I'm an aviator, and flying is, for anyone that's done it, a truly singular experience. . .whether you're flying a medevac, a heavy lifter, or a gunship (like myself).

The second reason is a bit more poetical. On my recent 'world tour' with the military, I've come to realize that while this world is a great big jigsaw puzzle, lots of pieces of water, lots of pieces of land. . .the whole world only has one sky. Unbroken and shared by all. As long as there is one single sky, I'm connected with my friends and family.

The third reason is a great deal more poetical. Terrorists can try to take our resolve, our strength, and those things and people we love. . .but they cannot and will not ever take away our sky, which has always been a universal symbol of hope. Which, incidentally, is why I am so proud to fly a gunship in this war. . .because I am quite literally protecting the sky. . .the symbol of hope. . .from those who would destroy hope.

Just a thought or two. I tend to ramble a bit.

"Wash. . .we got some local color happening. A grand entrance would not go amiss."
