Okay, this is the first time I've heard any mention of the name "Jerry Lee" but I do remember the exchange you're all talking about. I also remember being perplexed about why Mal was saying "Jerry Lee".
Firefly Spoilers
Discussion of all Firefly episodes, including "Trash", "The Message", "Heart of Gold", and any movie news.
The shooting script and dvd captions say Mal's line was "Nice work, Kaylee," to which she replies "Weren't soon enough to help."
(search for 'despondent' to jump to the line)
A line flub, perhaps. "Jewel" starts with a j-sound. Maybe Mr. Fillion had an "Oh, Sarah" near-miss.
Oh, Sarah
Reference? Did this happen on Buffy?
Sounds like Kaylee to me.
I listened to that over and over, and it sounds like Jerry Lee to me. Clear as can be. I always thought that was Wash's real name. Don't know where "Warren" ever came from, though.
I kinda liked him being Jerry Lee. Especially if you say it kinda slurred, like "Jer'lee." Which is how we say it where I'm from.

Naw. It's definitely a hard "k" at the beginning. He gets a little weird 'r' sound going in the middle though. But it's "Kaylee."
Hm. Ask Tim. Or, ask Joss at ComicCon.
Yeah, it sounds to me like Kayrilee.
Isn't he speaking to Kaylee?
