No, the best line from that scene is "Aw, and I was gonna get me a ear."

One of the ones not mentioned was in Serenity when Jayne is interrogating the Fed, Dobbes (i think that's his name).
The first bit, 'Pain is scary...'; then the end, 'Awww, you don't know nothin'... it's all over your face... don't they teach you nothin' about resisting torture in Fed school?'

I can't for the life of me remember which ep; little help?
Zoe: Planet's coming up awfully quick.
Wash: That's cuz I'm going down to fast. Like to crash and kill us all.
Mal: Okay, call me when that happens.
I love that particularly as a crystal example of the sly way the humor is woven into the dialogue.

One of the first scenes I ever saw was the one where Kaylee chases River around the ship, trying to get her apple back. Mal turns and yells "SHUDDUP!...one of you's going to fall and die and I'm not going to be the one to clean it up."
I laughed so hard, thinking..."I don't know what this is, but that's definitely not Jean-Luc Picard!"
I was enchanted.

Here's some great 'Fireflygasms' that I don't think have been mentioned as of yet:
- Everyone's reactions to when River claims she's the ship in Objects in Space, particularly Jubal Early's
- Kaylee's "strawberrygasm" (hee) in Serenity
- Kaylee's initial confrontation with Jubal Early in Objects in Space
- The look on Mal's face/his reaction just before he collapses in Our Mrs. Reynolds

One of my favourite moments was at/near the end of 'Safe', I think it was, when Simon was thanking Mal for coming back to rescue him (Simon) and River. Mal says he came back because Simon was on his crew. Simon makes a comment something along the lines of "But I thought you didn't even like me,", to which Mal replies in a tone as if speaking to a not-too-bright child, "You're on my crew."
That right there pretty much sums up Mal's character, I thought. Wonderful stuff. With dialogue like this, I still shake my head in bafflement at Firefly's cancellation.
If you can survive death, you can probably survive almost anything.

Damn, I forgot one of the best ones!
Zoe sneaking in back of the Doctor on Ariel. ZAP! "Clear."
I am laughing right here at work thinking about it.

Got so many, but picking first few that come to mind.
The look Nathan Fillion gives the camera at the end of The Message, with the music, it was just...one of those moments. I then watched extras and found out all other stuff about them knowing they were going to be cancelled and it was one of last things shot I believe, and it all just adds more to that moment.
Other moment, right at the start in Serenity, when I knew I was so caught up in this show, again, the music playing such a big role, is when we see Mal lose all hope, when he sees his backup isnt coming and hope dies in his eyes as the man next to him is killed, and he doesnt even flinch.
Funny one, when Book just shoots one of Niska's henchmen in the leg during War Stories, as if it is something he has been doing all his life (and maybe he has!!!)
Man, really looking forward to the convention this year in the UK and the movie!!!

I just saw the Joss post, and my vocabulary has temporarily shrunk to the word, "Squee!" I was so happy to see that, I just had to come over here and post more of my fave 'gasms.
- "Say goodbye to your daddy, Jonah." in HoG. Too cool.
- Book saying the Bible was fuzzy on the subject of kneecaps.
- "No power in the 'verse can stop me." Should have described the show, but...
Okay, there are just too many good ones to list.
"What'd you all order a dead guy for?"

I could choose millions, but here are a handful I don't think I've seen yet:
In Shindig, discussing Kaylee and her Dress --
Mal: You should have seen her when I told her she could have that layer cake she's wearing.
Inara: I think she looks adorable.
Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.
In Train Job, perhaps the first quote that made me fall over laughing --
Wash, on drugged Jayne: Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?
In The Message, the entire final scene. So well done, so moving. Especially when you know it's the last one they filmed.
Finally, and maybe most of all, Objects in Space, River coming back from Early's ship in the huge spacesuit, smiling like mad and looking like a little kid in a snow suit. Really warms the heart.

From OiS:
MAL: Am I dreaming?
RIVER (OS): We all are.
Mal rolls his eyes
RIVER (OS): Don't make faces.
Summer's delivery of that line and the reaction from Nathan were priceless.
RIVER
Purple elephants are flying.
MAL
Good. Thanks for the update.
