Gotta agree with River's/Summer's 'You found me broken..' scene. Just so heartfelt.
And Kaylee/Jewel when she praises the ship in the pilot.
Then River/Summer again in OIS where she 'wakes up' with the gun in her hand and the whole scene is chaotic. Her look of fear and confusion is fantastic and the way she quietly calls for Simon just tops it off.
There are sooo many though it's difficult to choose....
"I don't believe in suicide, but if you'd like to try it it might cheer me up to watch."

Mal, at the very end of The Message. So. Much. Pain.

causal: I agree about "The Message"--heartbreaking!
But I'd also nominate Adam Baldwin absolutely knocking it out of the park at the end of "Jaynestown" when he talks to Mal and struggles to understand what happened.
And another favorite moment of mine is in a deleted scene from the pilot, when Simon talks about the Battle of Serenity. The way he says "shen me?" just brings a whole world of civilization and elegance that is in such short supply in his new environment.

Speaking of Adam, how about the moment in Jaynestown where he rips the tape off his belly? Priceless!

Episode - OOG
The look in Wash's eyes on the bridge after explaining to Mal about his "miricle button" rig.
Also - same ep, the scene between Inara and Mal
in her shuttle, and Mal's line; "everybody dies alone"! Killer!!

Ooh, ooh! How about in Bushwhacked: the totally non-verbal reaction of Alan's after Kaylee says, "'Sides; if I screw up, it's not like you'll be around to yell at me." Priceless.

Summer ... War Stories ... "No power in the 'verse can stop me."
Just how much is needed to know how far over the bounds River has been taken, where she lives, her 'verse? And Summer sells it totally.

"Time to go to sleep again?"
The note of despair and resignation in her voice as she says that is heartbreaking. And of course Simon's response is just as beautifully perfect.
I'm surprised that so many people have mentioned "you gave up everything you had to find me and you found me broken" but nobody's mentioned Simon's "everything I have is right here"...

Oh, almost missed this one...
"I threw up on your bed.."
Simons reaction is flawless.
