So I can be a little obsessive…

I wanted to know what River was hearing at the beginning of Objects in Space before she woke up from hearing Early’s thoughts. I have had some experience in audio engineering, so I captured the audio from the DVD and then put in an audio editor. I raised the volume, filtered out the background noise, compressed, raised the volume some more, it slowed it down 20% and listened to it for about an hour.

Some of the voices overlap, but here is what I was able to conjure up.

Jayne: It’s ok honey, I gotta have it.

Kaylee: How can it see~~….

Zoe: Let’s just serve it to Sam.

Jayne: ~pleese~ on the floor, lots of it, got to have it.

Inara: .~do something about the blood.

Early: We’re all just floating

Now most of it seems nonsense, though remember it is River hearing random thoughts from the crew.

Jayne’s is the most obvious, all sex, all the time.
Zoe is very distinct in what she said. No clue in what it means.
Inara was difficult to decipher at first, her comment is what got me started, while watching the episode, I thought she said, “I think I am in love,” which I know now is not was said.
Kaylee’s line is very faint and is lost behind Jayne and Zoe’s lines.

I could upload the file, I saved it in a .wav file, but I can’t figure out how to upload a non image file here. If someone wants to host it, I can email the file.

Does anyone else get a shiver reading Inara's quote?

Anyone does.

I wonder if it could tie in with the theory that Inara has some loathesome disease?

Or could it be a recollection of some incident that led to her leaving the Chapter House? Some have suggested that she killed a client, either accidentally or by assassination.

I wonder whether these lines were written for this show, or were perhaps snippets from the cutting room floor, lines filmed but not used in earlier episodes? Maybe Inara's line came from the pilot, when Kaylee was shot. (But it's not in the shhoting scrpt for that episode.)

Jayne's lines could be outtakes from House of Gold.

Joss does so much with River. She may be hearing random thoughts or past memories. I'm sure she does not know herself at times. Like where did she get the gun? We never see her enter Jayne's cabin, yet it is his pistol. Does she get the gun because she knows danger is approaching in the form of Early? Like the song "Searching for mysteries without any clues." That is how I see River.

I've listened to it several times, not the best quality but I can make out a few words. The main problem is the different people's words are layered over each other. However, I don't think what Hera7 posted about Jayne is right. I am almost positive his second line is "He's seen it before, lot's of it," which is a reply to Inara's about the blood. I think those two lines at least are the same as what Jayne and Inara were saying as Mal regained consciousness at the end of "Out of Gas." But judge for yourself.

I converted the wav file to an mp3 without any discernible difference in the audio, but it's a smaller file. Even though it will load rather quickly if you click on the link, I would prefer if you right click and "save as" if you use Windows, or whatever the appropriate Mac command is.

Oh, that's creepy. And, I think you're right about Jayne's second line.

I thought that the whole set of Dream Voices was just lifted straight out of "Out of Gas" from the point where Mal is just waking up near the end.

If I'm not mistaken, part of the OOG dream voices is someone offering to scrape some cake off the floor. I would be interested if an audio of that could be captured and the two compared.

Then, of course, Early's voice shocks River awake. Yes, I also thought that unfamiliar voice sent her off looking for a weapon with which to defend the ship. How did she get it? We hear Jayne talking about how he doesn't leave his guns lying around. and something was mentioned about a combination for the gun locker. I think she just lifted the combination from Jayne's mind.

Hey Hera7, could you do the same thing for the bit from OoG? It would be neat to compare, because Inara and Jayne are definately talking about blood there. And yeah, it is Wash and Zoe talking about scraping up some cake.
