That last line is hilarious and gets me everytime.

Summer Glau is so good with facial expressions! She has so many little "!?!?" expressions throughout the movie alone...

*River walks in, hears voices
River: *points to man
Zoe: *tilts head towards man questioningly
River: *priceless expression

Simon: Am I... talking to Miranda right now?
River: *priceless expression

There're better ones, I know, I just can't think of them. KF

Lord, I'm walking your way. Let me in, for my feet are sore, my clothes are ragged.
Look in my eyes, Lord, and my sins will play out on them as on a screen. Read them all.
Forgive what you can and send me on my path. I will walk on until you bid me rest.

Serenity-
I have to go with
"Make me a stone."
That whole monologue just puts me in tears every time, and then Jayne come in and you think he's going to diss on River and instead he agrees with her. PRICELESS.

"Firefly"
I can never decide between the scene in "Out of Gas" when Mal asks, "You all gonna be here when I wake up?"
and the scene in "Safe"-
"You gave up everthing to find me. You found me broken."

Just too many REALLY good moments!

My favorite part of BDM is how cold and ruthless Mal behaves after Sheppard dies and Mal confronts the Operative. He pushes everyone so hard, not because he wants to, but because he knows he *has* to. Then the scene immediately after, you see it killing him. What a true captain!!!

Favorite FF scene: In "Safe" the whole scene of River and Simon after River had come back with the berries. Them kidding each other (she tricks him into eating the "poison berries" and laughes her arse off, then "you are such a brat" response. It's so cute they, after all the trauma and tragedy, are just brother and sister working their way through it together.

OH! Also the very short scene in the (real) pilot. After Kaylee gets shot, half of the screen is Kaylee on the surgery table. The other half of the screen is Jayne hunched over, hand to mouth, watching with fear. What a small but powerful statement about who Jayne really is!

post-holer......for digging holes-for posts.

All right! A chance to see everyone else loves Oog as well! It was the damned moustache that did it for me (All-time favourite out-take with the mo's!)!

As for Serenity, I think one of the most visually funny bits was watching the Reaver fleet break out of the clouds, and the pull-back scene to show the two fleets. You can almost *hear* the Screech!! as you see the reaver fleet brake! Gold. And then the frantic command to fire? Priceless!

I call her Vira...

Fly:
Has been 'OoG' for a long time, 'you'll gonna be here.....' and the Wash flashback 'Will do'. However I've found myself watching 'The Train Job' alot lately and love the bar fight at the beginning, 'We'll rise again' all the way up to Jayne laughing to himself 'blow a crater in this moon'

Serenity:
I think it has to be the crew mounting the Mule. From Mal telling River 'this is what I do darlin' he then reflects 'This is what I do'(makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up), all the way to the end of that scene, Simon saying to River 'Its ok to leave them to die'. Nice scene. Love the music in it as well.

My favorite part of the movie, well isn't even in the movie. The alternate scene with the Operative and Mal at the very end of the film. I understand why Whedon cut it but if it had been me I would have left it in. It suggests that the Operative has gone through the same thing as Mal and while he might be lost, he will find himself, whereas the ending in the film seems to suggest that he's finished.

But he IS finished. Thats the whole point. After Serenity Valley Mal was finished, no more kissing the cross, no more optimism.

Having the operative get all weepy would have made it look like LESS of a loss, because he'd actually talked about his loss as opposed to suffering it silently.

You almost get the feeling he's going to go find a monastery and become a shepard.

I don't recall the exact quotes from the movie, where the operative is speaking to Dr. Mathias, but it was something like this..."You know, in certain older civilized cultures, when men failed as totally as you have, they would throw themselves on their swords.

After failing totally to stop the secret from getting out, the Operative responds to the captain's "If I ever see you again..." threat with "You won't..." it sounded a bit more permanent to me that a trip to the monastery.

From Firefly I would have to go with, as someone said before, when Mal first looked into the cryo crate at River and gives that "huh" with a nod. From the BDM I think my favorite scene would have to be the long shot that doesn't appear to cut which takes you through Serenity. It gave me chills if you really appreciate the whole thing I mean you see the ship the crew and just the technical aspects of it and the time it must have taken to put together. Not to mention the acting abilities of the cast to get that shot right.
