Please Please post all of your favorite sayings that Jayne has said in Firefly. My favorete is, "Why did Y'all order a dead guy for?"

"You see the man hanging out of the spacehip with the really big gun, well its his will y'all should be thinking about now."

From Serenity: Well, 10% of nothing ... um ... carry the nothing.
Or something along those lines. ;-)

Too funny. Plus it was done almost under his breath as Zoe and Mal carried on talking over him.

"They held a riot for me?"

"I'll be in my bunk...."

Then there is the "Dear Diary" entry, although I can't quote it verbatim... "Today I was pompus and my sister was crazy... something... womthing... It was the best day ever!"

"I'll be in my bunk..."

From "Shindig", after Mal says Kaylee in a frilly dress would be like a sheep walking on it's hind legs, Zoe and Kaylee go off with (understandable!) attitude, Jayne asks "Is she mad or something?"
Typical Jayne, knows SOMETHING's going on, but has no clue as to what.

From "Serenity", when the Fed talked too quickly, "I was gonna get me a ear, too" I'm not sure he was joking.

Those two are my favorites for helping define the character.

And, of course, "I'll be in my bunk"... ROTFLMAO first time I heard it, still good for at least a chuckle everytime I watch the episode.

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

Well, most of my favs have been said already...Jayne gets the best lines...LOL

One that I really like though is in HoG when they are talking about going to help and Zoe says that any that want to stay on the ship can, Jayne's talking about not seeing the benefit of helping them out when Mal says "they're whores"....right away Jayne comes back with "I'm in", not so much a great line on it's own but the way it is delivered makes it classic Jayne, IMO.

"How drunk was I last night?"

My tag line is my favorite. It tells of the inner Jayne and how he has trouble expressing his feelings amonst his fellow crew members. Yes, there are more levels to Jayne than anyone realizes, and this one quote, this one statement, allows us insight to the depth of Jayne's humanity.

I call her "Vera"

Alright from an early part of that episode:

"I'll treasure it always." And then he hugs that old guy! LOL I thought it was funny anyway. My other favorite Jayne part really isn't so much of a qoute as an interaction between Jayne and River.

At the end of Safe she just reaches over all slow like and grabs his roll right off his plate. Jayne's like 'hey' and then he grabs for another one even though he probably could have gotten that one out of her hands...

I am so glad someone else saw that besides me and my betrothed!

While I was home on leave, she and I would snuggle on the couch in front of a roaring fire and watch two or three episodes because she wanted this amazing thing that is so much more than just a TV show to become a part of HER life as well. She caught the 'bread-grabbing' scene and replayed it for me to see. The way she described it was as follows:

"It's like... Jayne sometimes 'forgets' that he's supposed to be all mean, tough and scary, and he acts like a real person."

In War stories when they bring Mal's ear back and Simon shows it to everyone, and Jayne says, "What are we gonna do, clone him?"

Oh, oh! And when in Shindig, whatever Jayne did in the part with badger was funny, all he did was eat and drink. Then he had some parts too like, " Hurt our feelings",and "what they'd do, see your face?" and when Badgers says,"whats the word". Jayne unexpectingly says, "Pretencious?".

Who could forget in Our Mrs. Reynolds..."I don't know this girl!" "Then,can I know her?"

ROCKETJOCK

Saturday, March 6, 2004 6:40 AM

I think everybody's hit all the good ones. But nobody's mentioned my tagline from "The Train Job". In the teaser when he, Mal, and Zoe are in the bar and Mal gets up to start the brawl. Jayne reacts to everyone's enthusiasm about the holiday as "What day is it?" As everyone carries on around him, Jayne remains in his own little world and further asks, "What month is it?" That's classic Jayne.

"I'll be in my bunk."

Saturday, March 6, 2004 2:05 PM

I really believe that Jayne is a prime example of the dominance of nurture over nature. Jayne acts all big, tough, and scary, because that is primarily all he has ever known. But sometimes he lets his inner, more caring, nature slip out.

My favorite example of this is not a quote, but a brief scene one might almost miss if they blinked.

In the episode where Kaylee gets shot (title?) we see Jayne huddles on the stairs outside the medic bay. He is looking in on her an it is clear that he is concerned, but he is tucked away where no one can see him.

In "Serenity", when Mal says to the fed, "I've given Jayne here the job of finding out how much you told the feds."

Then Jayne pulls his knife and says, "He was. . .nonspecific as to how."

My second favorite Jayne lines are actually the few lines he 'interjects' during Mal's conversation with Badger during "Shindig."

"Excuse me" (Taking Mal's potently alcoholic drink)

"Hurt our feelings"

"What happened. . .he see your face?"

And my favorite, "Pretentious?"

Now. . .that look Mal gives Jayne. . .was that a "Jayne. . .please stop helping." look or was it a "Where the hell did you learn that word?" look?

Maybe it was just me, but I got the impression the money would never be good enough. Jayne was barely getting anything and then the guy said enough for his own ship. Yet still no.

So "That'll be an interesting day..." was posturing.

When he betrays Simon and River in his mind it's not touching Mal, and he waits till he does it without risking Mal.

The best part of that is after jayne pulls the tape off. When they zoom into his face, you can almost see a tear is his eye. Good Jayne moment.

I think it's pretty clear that in his mind he wasn't betraying Mal...one thing I also found interesting occured to me while I was re-watching "Safe" the other day. Jayne wanted Simon and River off Serenity so bad he was more then willing to just leave them there with no reward at all..so it's like the money he would have gotten in "Ariel" is just icing on the cake to him.

Hey! Let's not forget the Firefly Gag Reel!

Note that while most of the out-takes with the F-word were removed from the DVD version of the Gag Reel, I believe that the main ones with Jayne's faux pas remain. The downloadable R-RATED version includes all the F-word cuts where everyone f-ups their lines (get it at http://www.uncle.com/Firefly/Firefly-GagReel.mp4.zip). [Note: file is 58MB QuickTime MP4 zipped file on an OC3 network connection (big pipe)]...

Jayne holding Bertha says: "Damn it Mal... I forgot my line!"

Sitting in the main cargo bay he totally blows his line and only manages to spit out something like: "clerped... Mal... jipp.. blacc...", after which Mal stops and replies "CUT!... can't... get... line... out..." or some such thing as everyone laughs.

Cheers!

a) when you're ready for them.
B) when you're not ready for them.

If you can't remember, then the claymore IS pointed at you.

The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.

To steal information from a person is called plagiarism. To steal information from the enemy is called gathering intelligence.

Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.

And more...maybe later...

It's from Trash. One of the unaired episodes on the DVDs

Simon: I've never shot anyone before.

Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

That scene came from "Trash" when Simon had Jayne paralyzed on the med-bed after Jayne was injured on the top of the Serenity.

Alright, thanks you two. I remember him being paralyzed but I didn't remember what he said. I'll have to go back and watch it again.

Jayne: [into radio] Testing. Captain, can you hear me?
Mal: I'm standing right here.
Jayne: [into radio] You're coming in good and loud, too.
Mal: 'Cause I'm standing right here

Wash: So... two days in a hospital. That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors?
Simon: Hey.
Wash: I mean, present company excluded.
Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Jayne: So, like, never?
Book: Well, no.
Jayne: Not ever, never?
Book: Some orders allow shepherds to marry, but I follow a narrower path.
Jayne: But you still got the urge. They don't... cut it off or nothin'?
Book: No, I'm more or less intact. I just direct my energy elsewhere.
Jayne: You mean like masturbatin'?

Zoë: We're getting him back.
Jayne: [staring at Mal's severed ear] What are we going to do - clone him?

Mal: Now all we need are some patients.
Simon: Corpses. For this to work River and I will have to be dead.
Jayne: I'm starting to like this plan.

Jayne: Are you saying River's a witch?
Wash: Yes, Jayne, she's a witch. She's had congress with the Beast.
Jayne: She's in Congress?
Wash: How did your brain even learn human speech?

Jayne: Don't see much point getting involved in other people's trouble's without an up front price negotiation.
Zoe: As I said, no one's forcing you to go, this job is purely speculative.
Jayne: Good, don't know these people don't care to.
Mal: They're whores.
Jayne: I'm in.

(about Kaylee): Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please?

(after Mal punches out Simon) Jayne (smugly): saw that comin'

Jayne (to Vera, his favorite gun, which is in a spacesuit so it can fire): Clear as day. See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

We applied the cortical electrodes, but were unable to get a neural response.

Looking at a statue of himself: Oh hey, I got an idea. Instead of us hanging around playing art critic till I get pinched by the Man, how's about we move away from this eerie-ass piece of work and get on with our increasingly eerie-ass day, how's that?

You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Captain says you're to stay put. Doesn't want you runnin' afoul of his blushin' psychotic bride. She figures out who you are, she'll turn you in 'fore you can... say... "don't turn me in, lady".

And I know they're not from Jayne, but:

[playing with dinosaur toys]
Wash: 'Yes... this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... this land.' 'I think we should call it your grave.' 'Ah. Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.' 'Hahaha. Mine is an evil laugh.'

Zoë: Shepard, isn't the Bible kind of specific about killing?
Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier around the area of kneecaps.

Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next?
Zoë: Either blow us all up or rub soup in her hair. It's a toss-up.
Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Book: I'd forgotten - you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now.
Simon: No, but I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

River (looking at petaline having contractions):What do you think is in there?

Mal (to Jayne):Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

I believe the line is along the lines of..."Don't move or we will blow a new crater in this little moon." But I could be wrong.

Actually, it was "Every man there, go back inside, or we will blow a new hole in this little moon."

Or maybe it was "crater" and not "hole". My DVD's are out on loan. Whee!

I've just watched "The Train Job" for the sixth time since getting the DVDs, and Jayne has a line there that no one else has mentioned so far.

It's in the infirmary scene after he was shot by the fed while being pulled up off the train. Wash is saying that Niska's men can just read a magazine, cause they aren't taking off until Zoë and Mal are back on the ship.

Jayne says, "These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me."
