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.

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..."

"Butcher knife?"

"So does this! I call her Vera."

"Ha! It's from my mother!" And then reading the letter so slowly, and pulling out the hat.

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.

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."

I think Jayne mutters, "nice" when River steals the roll. It's a cute scene.

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?"

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 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.
