Another one I like is from Jaynestown too.
The exchange between Malcolm and Mr.Cobb.

“ Think we should be usin my fame to hoodwink people? Maybe there’s something to this. I think I really made a difference in their lives….me, Jayne Cobb.”

“ I know your name jackass…”

Mal kinda trying to deflate the big guys head a bit. Taking the wind outta his sails a little. Telling him that he may be the Hero of Canton to these folk but to him and the rest of the crew on Serenity he’s still just “Jayne Cobb”.

Kaylee has some good lines in that one too.

“Gee Simon that was so historical.”

“Hamsters is nice.”

“What’d ya mean not with me?”

“That didn’t sound half bad.”

“Oh… honey!”

LUND: "..Now, what are you gonna do about it?"

MAL: "Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me, so she could get behind you."

**Punch!**

MAL: "Drunks are cute."

The bar scene from The Train Job always cracks me up. A great delivery of lines from Mal, and that punch! Hehe. It was a great stunt.

Another one of my favourites includes the 'dear diary scene' from Safe. It NEVER gets old.. Every time it comes on, I have to speak along with Adam Baldwin. That's my favourite Jayne moment from the series.

Jayne from OMR! She has a name. I call her Vera. The whole build up to that one line is hilarious.

Simon: What if he(Mal) tells you to kill me?
Zoe: (without hesitation) I kill you.

I like the next line:

Mal: Well my taken you not seriously is certainly coming to a middle

98% of teens have smoked pot, if you are one of the 2% that haven't, copy this into your signature.
Oram: Simon's real name is Simone!

This line is a serious one, and it gets me every time...from Train Job :
After the Sheriff realizes that they've returned the stolen medicine he makes a little speech about times being tough, and a person might not look too closely as to what he was stealing; then that person finds out about a situation like theirs...well...then they have a choice. Mal says..." I don't believe they do." The Sheriff looks at him again deeply, and then allows everyone to go their way. I always found that exchange quite powerful.

When Nathan was on Ellen, he talked about how someone on the soap opera (all my children?) taught him the three looks to use when the camera pushes in on that going-to-commercial close-up. Each one can apply to any given situation in the script:

The shocked, "Did I leave the stove on?"

The thoughtful, "I think I turned the stove off."

And the decisive but ultimately sexy, "Yes. I turned the stove off."

It's on YouTube somewhere. I gotta go find it again.

I think he learned a fourth, though, when Saffron says, "but Mr. Reynolds, sir, I'm your wife."

That *LOOK* he gave her is what hooked me on Firefly for all time... and put Nathan at the top of my "Man-Toy" list.

Also must watch OMR for that "Woman, me touch" look from Jayne.

I can't list all the quotes I adore and wait for. This post is long enough already.

Yes OLTL. Nathan mentions it in the Companion books

"And I'm thinking you weren't
burdened with an overabundance of
schooling"

Yep, Nathan started his career on One Life To Live as Joey Buchanan. Mid 1990's I think. His character had a hot and heavy affair with Dorian, who was much older and his mother's hated rival

He returned last July for the "funeral" of Asa Buchanan along with more than a few OLTL alumni.

I also think "Desperate Housewives" could be classified as a prime time soaper.

Wash "he's not gonna get days" in War stories. Plus "he's crazy" and Zoe commiserating when she thinks he's talking about Niska.
Work, Work, Work to end his role in Pilot.

Jayne's "What" when his weapons charge louder while everybody else is loading for bear in War Stories.

Also in War Stories, anticipating the look Book gives when Jayne says "I'll be in my bunk" and Zoe says "grab your weapon" (or is it grab your gun"?)

This helps me remember that the thing that stands out about these scenes, and perhaps an alternate title to this thread, is that I annot be in mid-sip when these lines come up - or I might choke on my beverage if not paying attention.

Jayne smacking Mal in the gut at the end of War Stories.
