since you cheated on your answers (out of sheer love for the characters, I recognize)
So, you saw the cheating, did you. teehee! I crack myself up. Um, anyway here's my Wash answers (I haven't been including the movie in my answers just to keep things under control, and I'm definitely not using it for Wash because I might cry. Again.):

1. In Serenity Part One, the first introduction of Wash, which is so damn funny:

WASH: Everything looks good from here... (beat) Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive.

[It is at this point that we realize he's playing with little plastic dinosaurs. He holds a stegosaurus and a T-rex (or whatever the hell they call 'em these days).

The dinosaurs look out over his dash/console, toward the window.]

WASH (cont'd)
(as steg) We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... This Land.
(as T-rex) I think we should call it... your grave!
(steg) Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
(T-rex) Ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!

2. I adore Wash in War Stories because it explores his insecurities about Mal and Zoe's sexual tension (or lack thereof). I love his resolve about rescuing Mal:

JAYNE You really think you can mount a two-man frontal assault on Niska's
skyplex and live?

WASH Technically it's a one-man/one-woman assault. A unisex.
(to Zoe)Grenades?

And:

WASH
There's a certain motto Jayne. A creed among folk like us, you may have heard it: Leave no man behind.

3. This one is also from the pilot, Serenity Part Two, when they're arguing about what to do with Simon & River. Wash demonstrates his heart and calmness in these kinds of situations:

WASH Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

It's such a small moment, but it really solidifies my love for him. I just realized I also should have included his overwhelming concern for Zoe in Out of Gas, as well as him popping up from the console with that ridiculous moustache in the flashback!
