This is the best of what I can make out of what they were saying:

Speaker: closed captioned text
translation

Mal: Ching zie lie ee bay Ng Ka Pei
One more cup of that brand please

Mal: Oh, juh jen sh guh kwai luh duh jean jan
Oh, this really is a happy holiday

Kaylee: Kuh-ooh duh lao bao jurn
Cruel (boss?)

Kaylee: jen duh sh tyen tsai
really is a genius

Jayne: Dong ma?
Understand?

Jayne: go tsao de
???

Likes to mess with stuffs.

The captioning isn't in Pinyin right?

Cuz I can't even tell what it's supposed to sound like in Mandarin based on the captioning.

Only one I could tell is Dong Ma?

Ni dong bu dong?

as far as i can tell, it's not in pinyin but "chinese as it is sounded out with english letters"

which totally makes it difficult to understand what they are trying to say.

I'm not totally sure, but I think "go tsao de" is used to describe someone who's really good at something, like an expert.

I haven't seen The Train Job though, so I could be totally wrong on this.

It's based on a version of the WG phonic symbols, which was used in Taiwan and major US universities to teach Chinese before HanYu PinYin took over. The person who wrote this either studied Chinese in college or is someone from Taiwan/SE Asia. I've seen this kind of English phonics used in Karaoke songs from HK though.

sounds like "Gou Zao De" to me. Which means kinda like "This is really messed up" or "can't get any worse". But I ain't 100% sure either.
