Wash said that, I think.

I think Jayne in love would be a very different thing from Jayne being, well, Jayne as the crew know him. (Hell, I got 60,000+ words to argue my case 
)
His whole journey through the series and the BDM was his discovery that there are things you can't buy and shouldn't try to. And if the crew started to treat him as more than a gun and a filthy mouth I think he'd surprise them.
eg;
“You saying I don’t listen to my crew?”
“I’m saying you don’t listen to me. Let me off the leash when you want killin’ done, then it’s ‘back in yer bunk, Jayne, an’ don’t scare the ladies.’ Bin on this boat near three years an’ you trust to River more’n me.”
“River never tried to sell us out.” Hangs over the conversation like a poison cloud. Mal can see shame under the anger.
“I got stupid, once. Bin at your back solid ‘fore and since. But that don’t matter none, do it? ‘M just the big gun with no feelings."

SpaceAnjl: Could you post a link to some of them 60,000 words? Love to read 'em, but still kinda new and don't know where to look.
Rainstick: I knew that... 
(thanks!)

Click on "Blue Sun Room",...at the top of the page, look for Spaceanjl's story...maybe they will post the name for you.

Erm, if you really want to read 'em, click on my name, top of my reply, and my BSR stuff should be listed on my page.
It's mostly canon, post-BDM and has a disturbing Jayne fetish running through it. But if the Hero of Canton floats your boat, enjoy! (It's also basically chronological: 'Another Girl, Another Planet' is the first.)

Jayne wants no-strings attached multiple partner sex with no complications. Where I'm standing that looks pretty good. Why would he need to change or arc?
This isn't Wash, Mal, or Simon... different characters are written for a purpose, they can't all want the same thing, check out "Better Days" for their fantasies and Jayne's reaction to Wash/Zoe's sappy love talk, it's of course, hilarious.

By which she meant - women want this man for a husband, so they make it a rule that he *must* want a wife.
Just an observation.

Oddly enough, I got the idea for Jayne wanting to settle down from an interview with AB himself, and Joss' idea that he wanted to see a sweeter(!) side to the character.
Plus, I rather like the idea of Jayne being the (smug) happily married man on board, with Simon and Mal looking at each other with 'how the hell...' expressions.

Thing is, a bit of "sweet" doesn't mean Jayne's going to go all self-aware and start talking about his feelings all the time. Ick! I just don't see this in his personality.
Quote:To me, this seems to assume that marriage is the end all be all. Jayne is smug about it, Simon and Mal envy it.... I'm just not into that! I'm refreshed by a show that isn't fully focused on matrimony and life-long pairings, and characters who don't adhere to the Americana Domestic Bliss way of life.

I realize I'm weird and in the minority.
