"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!!
Actually, it's more like: "Carry the nuth..." He doesn't fully finish the last word, although he's often quoted as saying it in full. Arguably, the last syllable can be heard, but it's very, very faint.
As for the bet, you clearly won. Or, rather, your husband clearly lost. :) There's definitely an audible "the", and at least part of "nuthin'".

Hate to burst your bubble, too, but it's THE popular theory. :)

I hear it as "Carry the nuthin" as well. "Nuthin, into nuthin, carry the nuthin..." though it's true you can't hear the last part so well because Mal and Zoe are talking over him a bit and he's in the background.

Thanks, everybody!! I think I'm winning - we watched, and rewatched, and rewatched (you're getting the idea!) that scene! All I can hear is "carry the". Closed captioning is no help - it doesn't include Jayne's last line!

That's pretty much what I thought it was. We don't want to get ulcers over minutiae! But if you REALLY have to know, you can purchase Mr. Baldwin's script (see elsewhere on FFF.net for details)...or ask him. He posts once in a while on some forums. :)
Happy Reaving!!
