Enormous poster in London underground! River meets Elastagirl! |
| Let's be bad guys | I swallowed a bug | I am a leaf on the
wind, watch me soar
<sniff> |
| What was that? | We meddle | I aim to misbehave |
| She always did love to dance | Like this facility, I don't exist | This is a good death |
| Where are you hiding, little girl? | Did the Primary Buffer Panel just fall off my gorram ship for no apparent reason? |
Define 'interesting' Oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die? |
| Well, what you plan and what takes place ain't ever been exactly similar | Kaylee, what in the sphincter of hell are you playing at? | I hear the words 'that's final' coming out of your mouth again, they truly will be |
| Nobody flies like my mister | There could be tears | You know what the definition of a hero is? It's someone who gets other people killed |
| I won't get et! You shoot me if they take me! | He didn't lie down. They never lie down. | In the time of war, we woulda never left a man stranded |
| Eating people alive? Where does that get fun? | Goin' on a year now
I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers didn't run on batteries!
I could stand to hear a little more... |
Tell that to Inara |
| My muscular buttocks

Start with the part where Jayne got knocked out by a ninety pound girl. 'Cause I don't think that's ever going to get old. | Didn't we have an intricate plan how they was gonna be not here anymore? |
| Miranda... |  |
Fruity oaty bars |
| I have a way? Is that better than a plan? | They'll come at you sideways | Naked as the day I come cryin' |
| Yeah but, remember the part where it's a trap? | Dear Buddha, please send me a pony and a plastic rocket.. | It's worse than you
know
It usually is |
| You do that, best make peace with your dear and fluffy lord | Nothing here is what it seems | You wanna run this
ship?
YES! Well, you can't! |
| I don't care what you believe! Just believe it... | God's balls, there's no way we're going out there! | This whole world is dead for no reason! |
| Long as that landing strip is made of fluffy pillows... | Guy killed me, Mal. He killed me with a sword. | I'm gonna show you a world without sin. |
| My turn | There is...nothing left to see | She's tore up plenty, but she'll fly true |
| Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down | What was that? | Hell with this, I'm gonna live! |
| If you
can't do something smart, do something right
I absolutely love Jayne sometimes And a whole lot more'n sometimes, truth be told |

The Heroes of Canton, the ones they call US!! I make that 26 hats on display! |
Got to the hotel okay (duh). Had some food, higged my roomies, played catch-up and changed for the cocktail party. The theme was Bollywood and I'd done as accurate a copy as I could of Xena's Indian blue dress from 'Between the Lines' (piccy to follow). On to the meet-and-greet. Met Nathan first as I recall.
Nathan: We've met before, haven't we?
Me: Yes; Philippa (offering my hand; he shook it)
Neil Roberts: (very flirty and appreciative) Hi! (kissed me on the
cheek!)
I had a brief interaction with almost everyone else, then started giving out the Quaker Fruity Oaty bars to those who had been in the film!
Jewel - threw her head back and laughed!
Sean - polite thank-you. He's not like Simon in character. Shyer,
smilier.
Morena - pretty much the same (gosh, she is gorgeous). Me =
almost reduced to silence by her beauty.
Nathan - Don't give those to Summer! (pause) (sarcasm mode on) Well of
course now I want to strike out and kill everyone in the room!
Me - Go on then! (But he didn't. Chicken!)
Me to Summer - Nathan told me not to give these to you!
Summer - Don't feed the actress! He keeps saying that! (and then she
leaned over and kissed me on the cheek). Me = deeply touched.

Two of the characters from 'Sin City' |
Wonder Woman meets Jayne! |
Yes, I know it's sideways, it was standing on it's exhaust! |
Sonny from 'I Robot'; Cap'n Zol in disguise |
Clare as 'Recycling Mrs Reynolds' - front view! |
Yes, it's one person Clare alive and well at the front Replica of naked Mal at rear! |
Here's the rear view |
A close-up of "Mal's" bum! Clare REALLY should be doing this kind of thing for a living! Then I found out she is [DUH]. |
Nathan said that he'd enjoyed staying in Amsterdam for the Dutch premiere. They put him up in a hotel which had once been Amsterdam town hall. Right next door is an emporium called 'The Green Box' where Nathan said and I quote, "you can smoke weed". So "when in Rome...", he went inside to consume their wares. Whilst doing so he was having his coffee and his [cough] coffee whilt re-reading of one of the Harry Potter books. He then went into a lovely act of reading, getting weepily over-emotional due to the circumstances and trying to hide it!
Jonathan Woodward (played Mal and Zoe's war buddie who was smuggling himself + body parts) is a naughty slut bunny! Wired, rude and he held 'church' as his alter ego Rev Jonny Wallet - spent far too much time intimately fondling Neil Roberts (and vice versa) who was MC-ing under trying circumstances! He dished out swigs of whisky [over 18's only] and blessings in whisky which took a long time. He'd also run a petition to give to Nathan asking the latter to stop denying the feelings between them! This was delivered to Nathan at the closing ceremony and Nathan grabbed Jonathan and snogged him for about 10 seconds (ack!).
Morena looks pensive whilst Christina hits the water bottle! |
Nathan proves he knows where the collar bone is! |
Of course, it helps if you put food here sometimes... |
Nathan prepares to enter the 100 meter dash! |
The 'Rev Jonny Wallet' offers nourishment |
This went on for a worrying length of time, but Neil seemed comfortable |
Jonny blesses the converts with whisky |
Neil was providing an almost unrepeatable commentary at this point! |
Nathan and Summer with her stunt ferret! |
Nathan waves! |
We closed our eyes, only for a moment, and the hero's gone
Wash just flew; steered us through the skies and past the enemy,
Leaf on the wind, he was just a leaf on the wind.
Through the black, we were on our way to set the message free
He won't be back, but now his name will live until eternity
Leaf on the wind, he was just a leaf on the wind
We go on, nothing lasts forever but the ship and sky
He slipped away, and all our money won't another moment buy.
Leaf on the wind, he was just a leaf on the wind
Leaf on the wind, he was just a leaf on the wind
My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and a blockage in the drain
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Jayne."
Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my life in pain.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Jayne."
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and go and rest my brain.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Jayne."
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Jayne!' How do you do! Now your gonna die!!"
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and tried to cut my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and give me terrible pain.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Jayne.'"
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him...
SUE!
