Does anyone know what River says in Ariel when her, Jayne, and Simon are in the morgue(at least I think they're in a morgue) at the hospital. It was right after Jayne went to tell the fed over the vid screen that he "has the fugitives". Jayne comes back into the room and River wakes and sits up after being "dead" and says something about being caught I think. Jayne is startled and asks what she just said and then Simon wakes up and starts hacking up a lung. I can't figure out what she said! It's driving me crazy! Please help.

"A copper for a kiss."

Don't ask me what she ment by it but that's what she said.

--------------------------------------------------
DOBSON: I'm supposed to be meeting my wife's sister. I've only got a few days to see her...

ZOE: I wish there was another way...

DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...

i would assume it's an old saying. probably means "a penny for a kiss" since pennies are made of copper.

and i just listening to that part in WS with River. it sounded like "can't look, can't look" to me. she just says it kinda fast.

Goin out on a limb here, but we all know River knew what Jayne was up to. Maybe "copper for a kiss" is like what Jayne's doin. (Thinks) he's gettin money for sellin out to the Alliance (KISSin butt) That's my two cents.

I don't have a reason why, but I always thought I was meant something like "a penny for your thoughts".

I gotta go ahead and throw mine in here, mainly cause I think what I thought I heard was pretty funny. "War Stories", the second time Jayne says "I'll be in my bunk." Zoe walks in and says "Jayne, grab your weapon." Even though now I can tell he says "Why, what's goin' on?" for the longest time I thought I heard "Uh, I was gonna." which I thought was Jayne referring to a different sort of weapon

I was under the impression that "copper for a kiss" is referring to the Bible. Judas is given so many pieces of copper to betray Jesus. To point Jesus out to the ones that will later kill him, Judas kisses him on the hand or cheek or something. I don't know my Bible, so I may be wrong. But I always thought that the old saying, "copper for a kiss" was a remark about betrayal.
