Okay, you're probably expecting me to tell you I took a spill or that somebody gave me a "goodnight kiss".
Nope.
I just wanted to say how much I love the way Morena delivers that line. Inara is still woozy from the Mickey and has lost almost all of her Companioneque composure. She's desperately trying to hang on to her dignity while covering up the fact that she snogged the unconscious Mal.
It's just a great line and an amazing delivery. I'm astonished that the rest of the cast could keep a straight face. I guess it's because they were... acting!
End of paean.

I would love to see the outtakes for that scene. I know they exist somewhere.

The delivery is superb. I especially loves how she blurts it out a bit too fast, too awkward. Comedy gold.

Inara is not generally my favorite character, but she's great in "Our Mrs. Reynolds". That may be her best line in that scene but that whole scene may be her best in the show -- that and the final scene of the same episode, ending with that amazing facial expression.

That whole scene in amazing DOCOAT. I really get a kick outta Malcolms' line, "Is it Christmas? What happened about me?" as he strugles to get up. Simon and Zoey there to help him.
Inaras eye shifting tells the whole story. Even if you turn off the sound you get the drift that she's trying to hide something.
The expressions, eye movement and physical gestures tell almost half of what is going on in a scene with creators Joss and company using this tool to the upmost. I love the way Jayne blinks in near disbelief when he realizes Mal has agreed with him about needing coin in the pilot eps. Or the scene where he has an expression of confusion in the Jaynestown pub when he realizes the mudders know who he is. That look " Ok is this a good or bad thing?" has me laughing every time.

Jayne doing anything is just...excellent. But I'm biased. The 'business' with which the cast invested that show was astonishing. All in the timing.
Book popping his head back into the corridor - "The special hell."
Jayne...well, pretty much anything AB said or did. But the quick scenes in 'Safe' - thirty seconds, fifteen props, one take. Bam. "It was the best day ever."
Mal - "a s-what?" Nathan's ability to swing from hero to dork in one facial twitch.

Well that's Firefly, I don't think any show has ever had as many funny or classic one liners as Firefly has in just 1 series plus the actors pull off all of them perfectly, I couldn't name you 50 memorable quotes from the whole of Star Trek but I could name you 50 memorable quotes from Firefly...and quickly too,

It's the slurring. The way she slurs the line. It kills me every time. She's so desperate.
That and everyone's reaction to "That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth." You know that not one person on the bridge is surprised, but you also know they just couldn't help going to a scary visual place for a second. Priceless.

I suppose she could have told everyone that she tried to give Mal mouth to mouth resuscitation when she saw him lying unconscious, but then the scene would not have been as great as it was...leave it to Joss to make it perfect.
Also, I just love Mal's line...You're a very graceful woman, Inara...it almost feels like Mal has "figured it out", but then...again...Joss throws a twist at us.
