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

Rainbow Boulevard

OK, this is a plug for Wonderfalls, but if you love weeping, you'll love it

I am large, semi-muscular man, and it still gets to me to see Inara crying in HoG. I know, it's a bit cliche' and most saw it coming, bit it still make me a bit weepy...

I'll be in my bunk...

Just the music and the opening credits is enough to get me a little melancholy and moist eyed.

Also "I can win this" (River OiS). A most satisfying and emotional end to what was simply the best TV ever made.

Any touching scene with Simon and River will make me sniffle. The entire episode of Safe will get me going. Especially when they're getting ready to burn River and Simon sees no way to save her, so he climbs up onto the platform with her.

Another part of Safe that gets me is River's reference to Mal: "Daddy will come and take us home." And it's so clear that Simon thinks she's talking about their actual father who, in flashback, told him, "I won't come for you."

I cry at the drop of a hat, so I agree with all the above posts, but the one I don't remember seeing mentioned yet (unless it was blurred by weepiness) is on OoG when the two shuttles take off, and Mal walks slowly through the abandoned ship, and you see all the reminders of the missing crew as he methodically locks every barrier between himself and the people he cares about. And then he gets the old army blanket out of the locker, wraps it around his shoulders and looks out into the blackness of space... looking all stoic and strong and soooo alone. It just breaks my heart every time.


And on another note entirely,

STEVEthePIRATE, did you go to Harvey Mudd? Because otherwise your username is an astonishing coincidence...

The woods are the only place where I can see a clear path.

-Inara crying in "Heart of Gold"

-"You all gonna be there when I wake up" Mal in "Out of gas"

Wow nobody has mentioned my two biggest heartbreakers.

First the end of Serenity
Mal: We're still flying.
Simon: That's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

I just found out about the series being over that evening before watching Serenity and this scene will bring me to tears every time.

I also get all teary over the scene in Out of Gas when they are discussing what to do about River and she is is standing there all alone in a dance pose listening. Her aloneness at that moment and the knowledge she has to have that they might not let her stay and they don't trust her must have been crushing.
