Well, it takes a lot to get me crying, so htese are the ones that would make me cry if I were more emotional. Or maybe not. They pull at me though.
Serenity- Where Mal tells Simon that Kaylee's dead. I know she's not, but it still makes me want to cry.
The end of Ariel, with Simon and River.
The end of the Message, particularly the funeral.
The end of Jaynestown, when Mal and Jayne are talkng.
And I think that's all I thought of. And if that sentance sounds odd, it makes sense to me.

A good combination of a heartbreaking scene and wonderful music...that gets me every time. The end of "The Message" does it.
And not something that makes me cry, but one of the few times I've ever been shocked at a snippet of TV show dialogue: When Jubal asks Kaylee if she's ever been raped in "Objects in Space." That one line scared the hell out of me.

So many have already been mentioned: End of 'The Message', Inara in 'Heart of Gold', "It's time to wake up" from 'Ariel', obviously... Oh, and what gets me about the Jayne-Mal conversation from Jaynestown is the music in the background, the gentle reprise of Jayne's song in that soft guitar.
But here's an unpopular opinion! "Safe". The building of Simon's protectiveness for his sister all the way through, to that moment when he realises he can do nothing to stave off their ignorance, and "Light it". So much of Simon and River sets me off, and I blame my own big brother for that.

You know. . .that one gets me also, but for different reasons.
The night I returned from Afghanistan, my wife and I lay in bed. . .she was exhausted because it was about 3:30 AM and she had been up since early that morning. . .and I could see that she was struggling to stay awake. I told her that she needed to go ahead and get some sleep.
"No," she said, "I'm afraid to go to sleep."
"Don't worry." I told her, "I'll be here when you wake up."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
With that reassurance, she finally drifted off. Whenever I see that final scene in OoG, I remember my first night home with my wife.

Courtesy herself must convert to Disdain if you come in her presence.
Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted and I would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard heart, for truly, I love none.

Gah!!!! Stop it Static, yer getting me all choked up with your story. How can I carry on my image as a cold hearted and diabolical IT guy when you've got me weepy at work?!?!
I'm suprised it isn't mentioned yet, but the scene from Trash where Simon has Jayne paralyzed and helpless in the infirmary. Simon assures Jayne that he will be safe no matter what he does.
The whole 'path of redemption' plot really gets me, and Simon's words were just what Jayne was needing.
How is this for strange, the Message is the one that was really emotional for a lot of folks, yet it didn't do much for me. I'm not arguing that it failed to have dramatic effect, I'm just not sure why I was so indifferent to that episode... Wierd.

A dear happiness to women! They would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank God, and my cold blood, I am of your humour for that. I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow, than a man swear he loves me.
