Favourite bits that ARE NOT obvious!

I like the bit in OiS when they find River with the gun, how River's first reaction is to call, "Kaylee." I think it shows the bond between them wonderfully, especially as just before (this will get vague, as an Aunt and Uncle are borrowing the DVDs...) Mal says, "River, sweetheart--"

I'll third River's "Who's in there?" line.
Also Mal's "Is there a reward?" in Serenity (when Lawrence arrests Simon).
And in Safe: "You see that man hanging out of the spaceship with the big gun? It's his will y'all should be worried about." Nice little nod to "Saint Jayne."

The way Durran's line is delivered, with a lilt in his voice and tilt of his head, just cracks me up!

I would definitely say that Jayne loves Kaylee. . .but as a little sister. I've never really seen anything to suggest that he was in love with her, but he does seem to be rather protective, like an older brother might be.

Great question. 
First, just wanted to say on your Book/Jayne comment ("Sorry preacher, was I making too much noise?") ... I agree with your choice of quotes and your comments, but I think this relationship goes back to previous discussions of Who Book Really Is (or Might Be). I'm of the opinion that Book works for Blue Sun (and have been told many times I am crazy), while a slightly larger number of folks think he's either a cop or ex-cop. Anyway, therefore, this means Book would get along with Jayne exceptionally well, cuz I imagine Jayne is like most of the guys Book commanded back in the Force.
Which is not a comment on any present-day law-persons, mind you... just pointing out that most non-Mal authority figure in 'Firefly' tend to be rather... brutish. ;)
ANYWAY...
My comment is from "Our Mrs. Reynolds." I've watched this episode more times than any others (it NEVER gets less funny), and keep trying to pick up little indicators of Who Saffron Is. I could be wrong here, but I really only see one moment... in Mal's quarters, when he gets all nervous, "Wh-- is there blubber?" he asks, then checks. Saffron smiles, and HAS to laugh... even YoSafBridge is amused, as he's clearly unlike the guys she's used to... and of course, charming as only Mal can be.
I dig that.

I like in Our Mrs. Reynolds, when Kaylee says that Mal makes everyone cry, there's Jayne's hand caressing Saffron's shoulder.
Dude, Jayne wasn't "comforting" Saffron... he was totally checking her out! *eww!*

Yeah, I didn't catch that til like the 3rd time I watched Objects in Space, and it's now one of my favourite bits. As is Kaylee talking about the 14-year-old genetic experiment that she got whupped for doin' god only knows what with (but that I heard on first view, I think).
In The Train Job, when Mal n Zoe are fixin to get interrogated, Mal pulls out the chair for Zoe.
I've mentioned this before, but in Heart of Gold, when they're in the cargo hold discussing whores, Jayne's got on one of his normal trashy t-shirts. When we see them next, planet-side, Jayne's got on a striped button-down type shirt. He dressed up for the whores! That's just so....oddly sweet.
I like that in The Message, Kaylee's wearing the same dress she had on in Out of Gas, when Mal walked in on her n Bester.
And I like that Simon's clothing style changes. Starting out, he's all pulled-togther-spotless-complete-with-vest-and-sometimes-jacket boy, but by Out of Gas, he's quite a bit more casual. I can't remember right now where the change actually become apparent -- might be War Stories, now that I think of it. Maybe I should watch it again, make sure.

I don't mean to single ArnieVG out (a few people commented on this line), but I think the actual line is "What do you think is in there?"
Which, to me, is much, much funnier.

Actually she does say "who." I just watched the scene again with subtitles (just in case I was in fact wrong). But you're right it would have been funnier had she said "what" instead.

If you listen to the comentary on that ep, whoever is comentary-ing says (at that moment) that, "and here's a litte inditcation that Jayne has a bit of a crush on Kaylee." or something like that.
Also, i thought of another, in War Stories Zoe hands Simon Mal's ear, then somebody says something about 'getting the captain back' and Jayne looks at the ear and says "What are you gonna do, clone him?"
