Last night I watched HoG and the scene where the woman (cant remember her name) is about to show Mal her guns (hehe) and Mal can hear Jayne upstairs. Mal says something about Jayne using up all of their credits. I tried to make out what Jayne was saying there but I can really hear him. Was anyone able to catch that?

Also tryin to remember if Jayne kissed her on the mouth too :)

Can't hear what's being said at the point you mention, but I thought about the kissing thing, and I'm pretty sure Jayne doesn't kiss her on the mouth. There's one scene (right after he shows off his guns!) that looks a lot like he's going out of his way to NOT kiss her mouth.

I believe that Jayne is outside teaching the ladies how to shoot because he says something similar to "The next person who misses owes me a special treat."



"Could be he's harboring some resentment at us for putting his man through our engine."

I'm Zark and I approve this message.

Jayne is, as usual, over-compensating for his same-sex orientation but is careful to keep his clothes on.
Also as usual, the wiki is a good source for scripts:

INT. NANDI'S ROOM - EVENING

Mal looks out the window. We can't see what he sees, but we hear a cluster of gunshots, followed by the barking of Jayne:

JAYNE (O.S.)
That ain't nothin'! Y'all are
pulling, not squeezing like I said.
Next one doesn't hit that board is
giving up a special treat, < you
understand? > [dong MA?]

Nice try, PurpleBelly, but it seems more likely to me that Jayne is a pure sexual opportunist. That is (keeping this not too explicit) that he figures that any intimate act you can get someone else to perform is likely to be more fun than an intimate act you have to do your ownself.

He does tell Book that he looks for "a willing woman" rather than "a warm body" after an exciting mission, but it could be he's trying not to shock an elderly gentleman of the cloth.


No touching release dates!

Tells, exactly. There seems to be a narrative syntax in Firefly that people having sex take their clothes off; Reynolds, the Washes, Kaylee and Inara are seen associated with sex and no-clothes. Cobb is seen with fewer clothes when he's disporting himself in the Infirmary, but not in the whore-house or the mudders' cantina.

I think that nudity in a sexual context is somewhat associated with sophistication and/or intimacy. It sure didn't take Kaylee and Bester long to get dressed, which suggests to me they had most of their clothes on before Mal arrived at the engine room.

What a great scene. Not just the sex part, but the whole Bester " hey,don't we NEED that ? " bit.... hee hee.

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Also, in Heart of Gold, Kaylee's wistful "I wonder if they cater to girlfolks at all" about the boy whores probably implies a "No"--so if Jayne's idea of commercial tasty was boys, all he had to do was say so. It's not like anybody thought he was the soul of respectability anyway.
