It's talked about in the commentary. Jayne does have a crush on Kaylee but I don't think he knows how to show it... He is crass and rude, his comments maybe a way of showing her how he feels with out being mushy. This could also explain his behavior towards Simon. Jayne would view Simon as competition and Jayne has been around rich people (without ever having an abundence of money) enough to know that when people get everything they want all the time they begin to expect it without actually enjoying it. Jayne may feel because Simon wouldn't have to work to get Kaylee's affections he wouldn't be worthy of them.
That is my theroy. They really do talk about it on the com though.

Perhaps part of Jayne's reason for "seelling out" River and Simon to the alliance was more than just the reward--maybe he wanted Simon out of the picture, as he was a threat to his chance for a relationship with Kaylee.

Come to think of it, Jayne does seem to give the doc an extra hard time throughout the series...

That's because he's in denial about his true feelings for Simon - He bothers me.

My reading of Jayne's fetal position during Simon's life saving work on Kaylee is that he is worried that people will recall that his reaction to Kaylee getting shot was to duck back into the hatch when he had a clear field of fire at Dobson and only made his move when Book had resolved the problem.

While the show gives us nothing more significant than the scene of Jayne watching through the infirmary window while Kaylee is operated on, I highly recommend delving into fanfic with Belasera's "Survival Guide" series. http://firefly.populli.org/archive/5/survivalguide.shtml In fact, I think I'll give it a third re-read right now.

Where exactly in the commentary is that? I've listened to them all but I don't recall Jayne having romantic feelings toward Kaylee being discussed. I'd like to re-listen to that part.

if memory serves, it's mentioned in the Serenity commentary -- right at the point where Jayne is sitting outside the infirmary.

it's in "Serenity" right after Kaylee has been shot and is in the infrimary I think. You remember when Jayne is kind of like spying to see how she is on the platform looking thrrough the window? It's around there some where.

If memory serves Joss also mentions that Jayne's hovering outside the infirmary window was a last minute addition. It wasn't in the script but he saw the potential for adding that shot and so Adam Baldwin was called to set early.

Looks like it was a pretty good idea he had, if the causing of discussion is an indicator of quality.

Thanks, Liz and FemaleJayne for pointing me in the right direction!
