JAYNE (faux-reading Simon’s journal)
Dear Diary, Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Then we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever!

I’m not sure what makes this quote so great. Is it the sarcasm? Is it the mockery? Baldwin’s delivery? Or that it is the perfect line for Jayne?
Excellent. I haven’t seen this episode in a long time, yet I can still picture it.
It really captures Jayne’s relationship with Simon. Plus, Baldwin’s delivery of “It was the best day ever” was exquisite.
I always liked Jayne’s “Chain of command” speech. All the way up to the point he hits the floor.
