I think we all love those same moments (mine are much the same as the ones above).

Switching it up: which moments made you LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF?

A few for me:

Heart of Gold: when Jayne says "I don't care about these people", Mal says "They're whores" Jayne: "I'm in!" :)

Trash: Saffron to Zoe: "All you got to do to be a rich woman, hon, is get over it!" - and Zoe SMACKS her on the kisser!! :) Also, of course, Naked Butt Captain at the end.

Serenity: Of course, everyone loves Wash: "Ahh ahh! Mine is an Evil Laugh, now DIE!"

Objects in Space: Book (after being knocked out by Jubal) "I put up a fearsome fight" (he only lasted half a second!)

Ok, well trying to think about what makes me cry has made teary. Evil, evil person why did you ask me that?

The first thing that came to mind wasn't an entire episode but the single scene surrounding the line, "Mei-mei, everything I have is right here."

"Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?"

I think the moment in the series that has always brought a tear to my eyes because it's just so powerful and painful, is the speech River makes in Objects in Space. The way she speaks, the broken voice with which she says it, the tears that threaten to fall, and the expressions on the other's faces as they listen, especially Kaylee's and Simon's... it's one of those scenes in the entire series that leaves me completely floored.

Wash: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: [deadpan] Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die?

Out of Gas - Mal nodding off to sleep, and the scene where he sees Serenity for the first time.

First shot of Serenity in the movie - it reminds me of, of all things, the look on Kirk's face in Star Trek: The Motion Picture when he sees the refurbished Enterprise head on. Or when Picard beamed aboard the Stargazer in Next Gen, and said, "Hello, old friend."

A captain's first love is to his first command.

I don't think I've actually cried, but I've certainly gotten the prickly-eye-thing lots.

First time: in the pilot, when Mal tells Simon that Kaylee's dead. I couldn't believe it, my eyes started welling up... and then, of course, I could've killed him (if I could only stop laughing :)

I definitely got teary-eyed in Out of Gas, during Mal's whole, lonely struggle to save Serenity.

I teared up at the end of The Message, even though I didn't particularly like Tracey (selfish, incompetent, shallow little pretty-boy that he was) -- I felt for his family, and I felt for Kaylee and Jayne, who were clearly thinking about their families, and I felt for Mal, and his gut-wrenching acceptance of his responsibility for Tracey's death.

And I think I got the prickles in Objects in Space, when River is talking about how no one wanted her and she would just go away and let everyone forget about her...

Lordy, what a series...

Yup, this is the one that does it for me. River is so surprisingly lucid (even as the ship!) and then it makes you realize that she has known exactly all the trouble they've gone through for her despite her usually confused/disturbed state...
damn *tears in eyes*

*****
Mal:We're still flying.
Simon: That's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

For me it was "The Message." It...the music...I y'know what nuff said. The Message really broke my heart. I think I might cry.

People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

If you haven't heard I might as well tell you that that music was written when the guy found out the show was cancelled, it's more than what it is (paradoxical as that may be) it's a goodbye to the show.

Get's me too, that's also part of the reason the mei-mei scene in safe gets me:

River: I took you away from there.

Simon: No.

River: I know I did. You don't think I do, but... I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Simon: It's okay.

River: But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you. You gave up everything you had.

Simon: Mei mei ... Everything I have is right here.

Safe - because it's when River and Simon finally realise that Serenity is thier home.

Ariel - "No Mei-Mei. It's time to wake up."

The Message - The entire ending.

and the first time I saw Objects in Space when I thought River was really leaving.

----------------
"We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
Through the fire and the flames we carry on"
