Accompanied with the smallest of River's giggle. That really sells it for me.

Summer really knocked this little monologue out of the park: "Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!"

She manages to take what is almost nonsense on paper and infuses it with so much raw confusion and pain. It chokes me up every single time I've seen it.

A gem from Mal -

"Whoa, good bible" (whilst steam comes from his ears, and 'nethers'!)

Gotta give it to Christina Hendricks too, for her scene there with Mal, and the one just following, with Wash on the bridge... as she says in "Trash"
she is HOT!!

Two, of course there are thousands:

1) (OiS) Kaylee's reaction when Jubal asks 'You ever been raped?" Just sooooooo gut wrenching. Like, you can practically see her spirit break in two. You can almost hear it.

2) (OiS) Jubal and Simon's exchange about "Am I a Lion". Richard Brooks makes it equally absurd and believable. And he adds that little 'that was weird' at the end, and you just can't seem to believe the exchange.

*Frankly that entire ep was awesome.

I've gotta say, Jonathan Woodward as Tracey as he dies. Specifically his delivery of

"When you can't run, you crawl... and when you can't crawl... when you can't do that --"

That scene makes me cry.

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"...

agreed.

Why is the rum always gone?

One of my favorites, Jayne admitting to being the selfish fellow only out to make his own buck and not worth hero worship from the mudders;

" You pepole, ya think somebodys just ganna drop a box of monney on ya?!! Money they could use? Well there ain't people like that! There's just people like me."

You can see he has guilt and desides to tell them he's not worth their loyalty.
