The problem is such that she takes it to Simon's friend Jordie: where do you take a friend from out of town who had an upbringing similar to her own and feels a little off in places as fancy as anywhere Simon would suggest?
The response comes back via wave: Have a little more faith in your husband, but not much -- he never went to this particular bar as much as I did. Ask him (I'm assuming he knows your friend better than I do) what he would think about The Pig.
Apparently it's suitable for Jayne Cobb, and walking distance from their apartment, and so Kaylee and Jayne present themselves at a local speakeasy that from the outside is a mere door, no windows. A hand-written sign in Mandarin tacked to it pronounces the name of the establishment to be The Pig In The Poke.

Duh, Kaylee's voice implies.
"When we got all those blackmail pictures I'm still never showin' you in a billion years."

This is Jayne showing great restraint. Especially considering he wasn't invited!
"I was thinkin' whiskey," he says, letting it go for now. (Time enough to ask again after a glass or two.) "Less'n you're gonna go all frilly on me, an' I'm tellin' you now you can get what you want, but I don't believe in dilutin' good liquor. It's on moral grounds."

...maybe.)
"Less it's diluted, less I'll drink," she warns.

"You want somethin's gonna rot your teeth, that's your call," he says, and bellows over to the barkeep.
"Hey! A whiskey an' a Stoned Angel over here."

When you're as devilish handsome as this fellow right here, there's plenty a ways to get what you're askin' for without resortin' to manners.

Their drinks arrive, shuffled over on a tray by a sour-faced old man; Jayne passes Kaylee hers (it's bright yellow, with gold flecks) and takes a gulp of his.
"I coulda stumbled on 'em all on my own."

It meets with approval; her next isn't nearly so cautious. "You ain't discovered 'em in near a year now. He ain't discovered 'em. What makes you think you can find 'em?"
no subject
"An' I'm willin' to look places he ain't, on account of I ain't a gentleman."

Jayne is too cunning for you, Kaylee! TOO CUNNING.

"First off, time all this comes around, I'll've already found those blackmail pics an' the whole point'll be past moot anyhow. And second off, you tell the cap'n an' Zoe an' Wash an' Naomi that the ship's repairs are waitin' on me actin' like a Tam-standard rarified gent, an' I reckon you'll get a full crew's worth of laughin' at in the face."
Yes, even from Naomi!

Kaylee drinks.
Smugly.
