Y'know, I saw a poll about a millin years ago. I don't remember what site . . . it may have been this one for all I know.
Anyway, the poll asked what character we thought would become the most important/vital to the crew had the show continued. Jayne came out on top with River being second.
I'm glad that I'm not the only person who saw more to that man than guns, muscles, and a mouth.

I just re-read this whole thread, and thought of another.
The first time Jayne is on screen with Book, Dobson and Simon is at the dinner table when they're eating Book's produce. Jayne's first line in that scene is, "We're just happy to be doin' good works." With a perfectly straight face. Classic Jayne.
And this is completely off thread, but have you noticed that in the Battle of Serenity footage, Mal kisses the cross he wears around his neck. In The Train Job, Mal tells Book, "If I'm your mission Shepherd, you'd best give it up. You're welcome on my boat, but God ain't." Clearly, at some point, Mal and God have a falling out.
And back to Jayne, when Book asks Mal if he minds if he says grace, Mal replies, "Only if you say it out loud." The camera then shows us Book, Jayne and Kaylee bowing their heads. Is it possible that Jayne is a religious man?

That is a big part of Mal's character. I believe he lost his faith when his comrades ditched him in serenity valley.
BUT this thread is dedicated to my Jayne, so I'm done talking about Mal now.

Sorry, but he's not YOUR Jayne. You're gonna have to share him. But he's a pretty big guy. I'm betting there'll be enough to go 'round.

We could draw a big chalk circle and put him in the middle. Then we could all stand around the circle and call him. That'll decide who's Jayne he is.

Jayne bowed his head in that way of, 'Might be seein' him someday, better pave the way with a few prayers to get on his good side...'
Not religious really, just coverin' bases.

Isn't covering bases what religion is all about? (he says, ducking)
If it's real, you're covered, if it's not, it's just time wasted.

This ones not really a stand alone line, but it made me choke on what I was eating at the time...
"Well Kaylee here just wished you were a gyneachologist."
Oh, and for a one-liner I just lurv "Smells like crotch."

"Two by two, hands of blue." 
"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"
Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."
