I don't know about favourite scene, but my favourite moment --the one that makes me laugh so hard and love this show harder-- is Giles distracting the police officer at the end of Who Are You?:
Giles [yelling and gesturing wildly]: Damn it, man, we have to get inside. Our, um, uh uh families are in there. Our, um, mothers and-and tiny, tiny babies.
Gots to love Giles.
And I rather liked the performance of Death of a Salesman in Restless.

Heh, I thought this thread was about Firefly - for which I'd have to answer - the scene in Our Mrs. Reynolds where Jayne offers to trade Vera for Saffron.
For BtVS, I'd say the briefing Giles gives with the overhead projector in "Hush".

Can't remember which episode this is in but I know it was early in the series. Xander, Buffy, and Willow are all sitting around talking about how none of them will ever have a healthy romantic relationship. At first they all laugh about it but then all at once they seem to realize it may be true. Looking back at the series it isn't hard to argue how prophetic this moment turned out to be.

It's at the end of the S1 episode I Robot, You Jane in which Willow was wooed by an internet demon. And I think you're being gloomy. They do have healthy romantic relationships for a good while (well, Xander and Willow do) ...until they go and fantastically fuck them up. Joss Whedon hates for good things to last. Miserable scoobies makes for happy Joss!

Here are a few faves o'mine.
Fool For Love- Ok. Truth be told... the entire ep is fan-feckin-tastic. But Spike's speech as he acts out the killing of Nicki Wood... "death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day..." It is beautifully choreographed and written and James Marsters' performance is stellar (that man can act with one eyeball!)
Something Blue- Another gem. The whole scene when Anya and Xander arrive at Giles' to find him blind and Buffy with Spike. Xander exclaiming "who? what? who?" and Giles' response "three excellent questions." The entire exchange is wonderful.
Beneath You- the end scene with Buffy and Spike's exchange in the church where Spike drapes his lovely self over the crucifix and pleads for rest. Mmmmmmmm....
Touched- Spike's speech to Buffy about her strength and his love of her. Their connectinon by this point, so close to the end, is, in my opinion, so beautiful and well-established that just about any interaction between them is poetical!
The Body- It is almost too difficult to pick one moment from this hour of earth-shatteringly exceptional tv but the scene where Buffy throws up on the floor is fab. There's something so simple and real about her physical reaction, then the shot of her standing at her open back door; children playing in the distance; birds singing... life going on everywhere and there's Buffy with her dead mother in the living room. Such depth and contrast and such beautiful photography!
Two to Go- Giles' arrival at the very end of the ep. Each and every time I watch this one I leap up and shout for joy when Giles walks in!
Grave- Willow's breaking point with Xander on the bluff... need I say more?
Becoming Part One- the fight scene between Angelus and Buffy as he 'keeps her busy' as Dru kills Kendra and abducts Giles back at the library... Angelus is so wickedly cold as he laughs out his line "... and you fall for it every single time!" as Buffy realizes her friends are in mortal danger.
Passion- Angelus watching through the window as Buffy, Willow and Joyce react to the news of Jenny Calendar's death... the music, the narration, the utter grief... so beautiful!
Graduation Day pt 2- the entire battle sequence with particular attention to the moment where Angel and co. arrive ont he scene... The camera sort of slides into focus just as Angel kicks up the fight a notch. I get goosebumps!
Life Serial- all of the Trio's moments are hi-larious in this ep. But my fave is the 007 argument where Andrew says "I think Timothy Dalton should get an Oscar and beat Sean connery over the head with it!" (I love it because, once upon a time, I was a big Timothy Dalton fan!... don't judge!)
Of course there are other moments... Faith's "is what it is, yo." Snyder's "Whoa Summers! You drive like a spaz" Giles as the Fyarol demon. Spike behind Joyce in her kitchen, mocking Angel who can't come in...
So many!
Too many!
I love them all- I could dissect every episode and find something to contribute.

When Xander has his eye put out, hell anything where the scoobies get hurt is good in my book.

I only saw the second of of S2 and all of S3, only recently seeing S1 on DVD...
Even so, too many to count!
1. Buffy getting her award at the Prom
2. The Judge: "What's that do?"
3. Oz reacting to waking up naked in the woods for the first time: "Huh."
(Much like Mal's reaction to "River in the Box")
4. Giles, after Willow accidentally shoots him with the tranquilizer dart: "Bloody priceless!"
5. Two words: "Actual size."

I agree with most of xenoprobe's, particularly beneath youin the church, 'can we rest now?' and spike sizzling on the cross, beautiful. I'm getting shivers just thinking about it.
anything from restless, but especially the swings, giles' song scene in the bronze, the play, willow's book report, buffy with the bag of mud, pretty much the whole episode

Too difficult to name just one, but the first one I thought of when asked that was at the end (SPOILERISH if you haven't watched the finale!!!) when Buffy had (unknowingly to viewers) asked Xander to get Dawn out of town and she told him that he was her strength (!), and then later Dawn overpowers him in the car, drives back home, lightly kicks Buffy in the leg and calls her a dumbass.
Sound like an odd choice? Here's why I picked it...two seemingly small interactions which weren't really that at all between both Buffy and Xander, and Dawn and Buffy. With Buffy and Xander, it was the first time I remember her telling him in words what he truly meant to her in seven years of friendship. The Dawn and Buffy scene was great because the way they interacted was a cute, silly reminder that they truly are sisters and really do love each other.

The dream sequence at the beginning of This Years Girl. *loves Faith unreasonably*
When Giles listens to the Led Zepplin song by himself in Forever.
Deffo the Xander and Willow scene in Grave. Never fails to tear me up.
"And what was the highlight of our relationship? When you broke up with me or when I killed you?"
When The First tries to get Willow to commit suicide in Convo with Dead People. "Oh baby you left such a big hole it hurts so bad."

How are ships unlike food?
1. If you try it and don't like it, you don't have to do it again.
2. You can have as much as you want, when you want.
3. Cravings can be very specific.
I mean, hello it's not as if there's 'ship police?
