Ok! Help settle a bet between my husband and I!
In the episode "Serenity", Jayne, Mal and Zoe are walking towards the ship after meeting with Badger. Jayne is complaining about the lack of profit, and he says (something to the effect of)

"Let's see....nothin' divided by nothin'....

The next line is what we can't agree on.

I say that he says "Carry the..."
My husband says "Carry nothin'"

Help!!

From Whoa. Good Myth....


JAYNE - Can't get paid if you crawl away like a bitty little bug, neither. We gotta share this job. Ten percent of nothing is -- let me do the math here – nothing into nothing, carry the --

Hate to burst your husband's bubble, but you've got another vote for "carry the..."

Mal: You know, you ain't quite right.
River: It's a popular theory.

I always thought it was "Nuthin, and then nuthin, carry the one", which I found much funnier, but... eh, I dunno. Either way.
