Jayne, "We applied the cortical electrodes
but were unable to get a neural
reaction from either patient."

Watched “Ariel” again last night (for about the 100th time) and I can’t help it. Every time Jayne mutters those words I LMAO. It’s perfection.

The show continues on with Simon doing honorable things like, coming up with a criminal master plan only to help his sister, and saving the patient of a doctor that shouldn’t even be there. Seems the whole episode evolves around Simon (and River) being ordinary yet extraordinary people and so valued that Jayne will soon forget his wicked plans of turning them in. I mean the look on Jayne’s face a couple of times has you believing that he has changed his mind about the reward. Yet, in true twisty turny fashion, greed and self-absorption win out and they all get caught.

What are some of the lines (you know when they’re coming) you find yourself waiting for even though you’ve heard them a million times?

It's not a line, actually. It's in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" when they first find Saffron on the ship. They're in the cargo bay, and Zoe has called everyone in. There's this one brief moment when the camera is close up on Saffron, she's looking at Mal, but you see Jayne's hand reach over and kind of paw at her shoulder, awkwardly. You can just hear the unspoken... "Touch... woman... purdy..." in the gesture. It cracks me up every time.

"No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking."

Inara to Hayne. Just love that line.

What Joss and the writers did was write the characters as real humans, not set pieces in a soap opera (no offense, Nathan) or a sitcom. No laugh track or innuendo or double entendre, just real people living a real life. Plain talk from plain folk, straight up and to the point.

"I don't like the idea of someone hearing what I'm thinking."

River's very first "moron" look. In The Train Job, just after she wakes up and starts freaking out.

SIMON:
River? River. It's okay. We're safe here. Do you know who I am?

RIVER:
*pausing mid-sob to glare one-eyed*
Simon.

It's just her delivery. There's an unspoken "I'm not amnesiac, idiot."

Jayne spitting loudly on his whetstone at the
table while Simon is trying to eat.
SIMON: Would you please not do that while we're
-- EVER? --
Jayne spits again.

Jayne, unable to learn the cortical stimulator

school. (this one is approximate)

...and I assume you're joking about not knowing
Nathan was in a soap opera...
