From Train Job


MAL: Whatever happens, remember I love you.

ZOE: Sir?

MAL: Because you're my wife.

ZOE: Right. Sir. Honey.

INARA: ...and Zoe, what would your husband say if he knew you were here?

ZOE: I... I was weak.

My favorite scene is from Objects in Space. It is sad at first, then awesome, and funny as well.


EARLY: You made the right move, darlin'. Best
for you to go on with old Early.

MAL: You think so? Some of us feel differently.

Mal reaches out and PUSHES Early hard. Early lifts up into space.

River exits Early's ship and pushes off, floating down toward Serenity as Early's ship takes off on some autopilot sequence River presumably coded while she was in there. Mal waits below on Serenity, catching and steadying her as she comes in reach. He holds her hands.


RIVER: Permission to come aboard?

MAL: You know, you ain't quite right.

RIVER: It's the popular theory.

MAL: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother
a thrashing for messing up your plan.

RIVER: He takes so much looking after.

that is a top scene, well they all are, I love the mishearing "Lion" scene with Erly and Simon. and when Mal kicks the henchman through the engine in Train Job, I love the second guys reaction!

here is a more dificult question, what scene is your least favourite? or what do you think Firefly did badly? now that is something I struggle to think off

The first bar scene in "Jaynestown". Specifically when after the guitar player sings "Jayne!!!", Jayne perks up like a prairie dog. Just the reaction was priceless. And then the end when the bartender goes "No hero of Canton's gonna be drinking that shong mao niao. He get's the best whiskey in the house!!!"

That's one of my fave comedy scenes. Fave dramatic scenes is in "Ariel" when they're in the hospital and Simon is looking at the holographic scan of River's brain. It's that scene when not only Jayne and Simon, but the audience realizes the severity of what the Academy did to River. I know the holograph was a CG image, and it must have been a bitch for Sean to react to nothing in front of him, but they manage to pull that off so well that you think what you're seeing is real.

"We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?"
"Four"
You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"
"We would destroy the Cybermen with ONE Dalek. You are superior in only one respect."
"What is that?"
"You are better at dying."

Trash talk between a Cyberman and a Dalek. It doesn't get any better than that.

I love the whole series, but if I had to think of one right now, it would be in Trash, when Mal is invited into Inara's shuttle and they start arguing and she asks him about the last cargo they smuggled:

Mal: "They were dolls"

Inara: "They were little geisha dolls with heads that wobbled!"

Mal: "Hey! People love those!"

His whole indignant stance and pointing finger. I'm giggling right now!

Funnily enough, also in Trash, where Monty says to Yosafbridge "Now I never did tell you his name", and she concedes.
Why should it matter that she knows Mal's name. It should be obvious to Monty from the fight that they knew each other. Why should it be so significant that she knew Mal's name without Monty telling her? It just bothers me a bit.

-------------------------------
I'm in complete agreement with Gladiator...that sequence was beyond funny, especially when Zoe's reaction was added to River's - anything that could get that reaction from Zoe had to be pretty traumatic

There's not a power in the 'verse can stop me...
