Are you a big sap? A softie? What scene or episode turns on the waterworks?

"I promise."
With that reassurance, she finally drifted off.
Ohhhh sure! Go ahead and make the arch bitch of the universe weep like a wee bitty girl.
I've never met you, but I'm grateful to the 'Verse that you and your Princess are together.

Well, "The Message" really got me too, but for maybe a different reason. One, I was happy to see the little punk go, but the funeral was one more death in Mal's history. Mostly it got me cuz of that beautiful music. The composer did a really fine job on that one. The thing that really hit me though is the half a second scene where Jayne is taking off his hat in respect. It seems a little out of character, but the look on his face is pure sadness. Only time I've seen Jayne look like that through the whole series. It just got to me.

Simon and River. No question, hands down. More than once too. When River says she didn't think Simon would come for her,and he calls her a dummy.
Tracy's death scene too. Even though he tried to play them, in the end, he knew they would still stay true to their word and take him home. So many folks out there would say 'screw it ' and just dump his body out in space and be done w/ it. Makes me feel good that Joss chose to show some dignity with his characters.

*At first it was only in "Safe" when Simon hugged River just before she was going to get burned.
*The end of "Message". With the voice over, everybody looking sad, and Mal looking toward the camera. @___@ I'm thinking it's mostly Firefly's cancelation look right there and partly of the old war buddy's family mourning.
*End of "Objects In Space". From when River jumps from Jubal's ship and asks Mal if she's allowed to come back in to River and Kaylee playing Tacks
*Now to add to that is when Simon is explaining his story about River and him in "Serenity".

I am ashamed to have not mentioned this... but Simon's killer monologue from the pilot. And the "You're a dummy" line, too, how could I have missed it.
Let's face it, Ron Glass isn't the only one who gets weepy just thinking about Firefly...
Oh, and Static...
Scratching could not make it worse, an 'twere such a face as yours were.

I think that the end of 'Message', end of 'JaynesTown', the end of 'Ariel', also when Rivers talking in 'Objects in Space' and at Nandi's funeral all make me cry.

Ignoring the diatribes of our local Shakespeareans:
"The Message": You all have it wrong. The weepy part occurs when Mal says, "I just carried the bullet for a while." Or something to that effect. It makes me so weepy, I don't think I can even remember the quote correctly. Fillion's voice actually cracks, or whatever it does.
"Serenity": The end. Book: "I think I'm on the wrong ship" until that parting shot with the whore blessing the preacher. Oh dear!!
"Objects In Space": Kaylee's response to the rape question.
"Ariel": Jayne: "Don't tell 'em what I did."
Sometimes (read: most of the time) it's got as much to do with the delivery as it does the actual line.
These are a few of my favorite things...and please let's keep this thread confined to the topic and Shakespeare and NOT a place to try and impress people by dropping references to the Sound of Music.
