Definitely the moment in the pilot, when they open the box with River inside... hold for a beat, then Mal's simple line--

"... huh..."

It's become a part of every day language in my household.

Oh, and also, in "Out of Gas" during the flashback when Mal shows Serenity to Zoe, the exchange at the end (and forgive me if it's misquoted)--

"Get her up and running again."

"Yep."

"So, not running now?"

"Not so much."

After reading this e-n-t-i-r-e thread (and having most of my favorites STOLEN by others ) I'd have to say the goosebump factor was highest at the end of "The Message" when it turns out Mal was holding the bullet with Tracey's name on all that time.

Mal-licious

The final scene of Bushwacked is very dramatic. The Dartmunder blows up the salvaged ship just as Serenity pulls away, hugh explosion but no sound. Great moment,very memorable. When ever someone who has never seen Firefly asks me about the show,I recommend they watch Out of Gas first--great story,character insight and my personal favorite.

I mentioned this one on another thread because it's my favorite, but I don't think it has been mentioned here (sorry if I just missed it). I love the scene in "Serenity" where Mal is visiting Kaylee when she is first waking up after they operated on her. It really shows how much Mal cares about Kaylee. It's so sweet how he calls her "Mei-Mei." I love her line, "You just have to have faith in people." Such a touching scene, and it says a lot about both their characters.

The last unaired episode, "The Message". The music and the cinematography at the end of the episode when they overlayed the phrase from the war during the funeral, "When you can't run, you crawl, when you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you". Then panned through to each of the members and ended on Mal.
That whole scene really touched me.

Okay this is the moment I fell in love with Firefly, and I know it's a might bit ridiculous, but it's too good to not love!

The Train job:

Inara: What did I say to you about barging into my shuttle?

MAL
That it was manly and impulsive?

INARA
Yes, precisely. Only the exact phrase I used was "don't".

MAL
Well, you're holding my mechanic in thrall. And
Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room?
Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys
maybe got loose?

The monkeys comment made me fall apart, from that moment on Firefly owned my ass.

Thanks for digging this up DragonFly...
All the above are great. I'll just ad mine.

From Safe:
The thirty or so seconds til Simon says "Light it". There's a little tune after he gazes up at River and takes the last step next to her that makes my stomach lurch every time.

Also the River dancing/ gun fight mix with the music from that episode is great.
