This is the first time I've heard this, and I've been wondering what it meant.
Right now, this moment, my favorite is Jayne's second line...
Well, what you plan and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar.
I love his delivery, and the whole line is just so turned inside out.
Tomorrow I'd have a different answer.
Thanks to viral marketing...SERENITY: reopening soon in a theater near you.

Nope, the funniest part is when Mal is explaining to the vault guard about where and why he should let himself be shot. He's so matter-of-fact and cordial with his shooting victim.
"Why're you arguin' what's already been decided?"
Mal to Jayne, "Jaynestown"

I've got to agree with this one - it's not just the line itself of course, but that outfit and in particular those swinging tassles on the headscarf!

thats my favourite bit too. i also lkike it when mal says hes coming down into the vault and the guard asks for id and then weakly says 'ok' after jayne fires a round on his gun
also
'am i talking ot miranda now? and then river's face at simon.
its whats not said that punctuates the ends of sentences that makes serenity funny
"Dear diary: Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Today we were kidnapped by hill folk, never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."

The dialogue between Mal and Jayne where Jayne is trying to trade his super shotgun for Saffron:
MAL
The explosive diarrhea of an elephant, are you offering me a trade?
JAYNE
A trade? Hell, it's theft! This is the best gun made by man, and its got extreme sentimental value! It's miles more worthy'n what you got.
MAL
"What I got" - she has a name.
JAYNE
So does this! I call it Vera.

Maybe not the BEST, but ...
Mal (real whinylike): hard to get to
Ask Dr. Science ... he knows more than you do.

Really? I did not know that, with me not speaking Russian and all. That's intensely amusing. "River! Bad girl! That's for chickens to laugh at!"
Also, I couldn't help *snrk*ing every time it's called a "safe word". I see so much bad CSI being born it's not even funny.

Two in particular...both during the cool flight scene during the Alliance/Reaver battle...
"No"
"Yes"
"NO!"
"YES!"
and...
"It's okay...I'm...I'm a leaf on the wind."
"WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???"

Oh yeah. The look River gives Simon after he ask "Am I speaking to Miranda now?" Priceless.
