During the big, climactic shootout with Niska’s men in “War Stories,” Kaylee was the only witness to River’s terrifying proficiency with firearms (and her eerily nonchalant manner after killing three men in as many shots).
Kaylee never said anything, but after River is discovered confusedly brandishing a loaded pistol, she fesses up and tells the crew what she saw that day.
Jayne is understandably reluctant to accept Kaylee’s version of these events, and expresses his incredulity by referencing primate orifices.
Cow sucking and baboon assholes: We love Jayne.
