Skye: So you kiss me and I'm supposed to forget that AJ's in danger because of you?
Jax: Come on, Skye. Sonny didn't lock you in that boat shed. Ok? I want to see him pay for his crimes as much as you do, but perjuring yourself is not a solution.
Skye: AJ may die because of your misplaced ethics.
Jax: There's a chance that Sonny won't hurt AJ.
Skye: Oh, please.
Jax: Well, he had his chance when AJ caused Carly's miscarriage, and he didn't do anything about it then, so...
Skye: Well, maybe the perfect opportunity didn't present itself. This time he'll make sure it does.
Jax: You know, Sonny's a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. There's a method to his madness. He doesn't act in the heat of the moment.
Skye: So, what are you saying? AJ should be worried two years from now?
Jax: Perhaps.
Skye: Well, how reassuring.
Jax: Look, if AJ deliberately keeps antagonizing Sonny, then...
Skye: Anything can happen and probably will.
Jax: Your brother's in trouble because of his own recklessness, Skye. He brought this on himself.
Ned: I couldn't agree more, Jax. AJ is consumed by his ego. Granted, Sonny has taken a lot from him, and now AJ wants to take a lot from Sonny, namely his innocent sister. Now, it's certainly not the most heroic approach, but I have to give him credit. He's showing more daring than he has in the past.
Skye: The two of you make me sick!
Jax: Skye...
[Jax starts to go after her]
Ned: No, no, no, don't bother. Look in the dictionary under "bitch," you'll find a picture of Skye.
Jax: You know, Ned, why don't you just, could you just stop with all this?!
Ned: Oh, you'll be better off without her, and you know it, Jax.
Jax: No, no, my relationship with Skye is our business and nobody else's. And, you know, before you write her off, the Quartermaines should take a big, long, hard look in the mirror before they, before they just dismiss her so readily.
[Phone rings]
Jax: It's Jax. Good work. I'll contact you as soon as I get down there. Thanks.
Ned: So?
Jax: I know where AJ and Courtney are.
------------------------------------------------
[Knock on door]
Skye: Who is it?
Man: [Scottish accent] It's room service, ma'am.
Skye: Excuse me. I want you out of here right now!
Jax: [Normal voice] No, no, no. Not until I've done what I came to do.
Skye: Well, I know what you want from me.
Jax: Really?
Skye: Mm-hmm. It's a novel idea and somewhat distracting, but it's all smoke and mirrors. You just want me in bed for as long as I can amuse you. And maybe you'll send me flowers or perhaps give me a piece of jewelry, but then it's on to someone else. All the thoughtfulness and kindness, those empathetic speeches that made me actually think you understood me. I mean, why didn't I see right through you? Oh, wait, because I know the answer. You're good at this. You've been practicing this white knight routine for years, and I must say, you've got it down. Pretty damn near perfect at it.
Jax: Huh. Well, you're wrong, Skye.
Skye: Skip the snow job, Jax. I know what you want from me. So let's just get it over with. Take me right here, right now, and just leave me alone.
Jax: You are spectacular. There's no question about that.
Skye: "Spectacular" and you're offering me bacon?
Jax: You might get a little chilly during breakfast, though. You need a good meal to fortify you for your trip.
Skye: What trip?
Jax: Do you want to help me save your brother or not?
Skye: Oh, my God! You found out where AJ is? Is he all right? Does Sonny know where he is?
Jax: I thought you wanted to save your brother.
Skye: I do, I do!
Jax: Ok, well then meet me at the airport at 6:00. And you might want to bring more than a robe because we're flying to the Caribbean.
[Skye kisses him with joy then pulls back]
Skye: Oh, my God.
Jax: What? What now?
Skye: How are you ever going to forgive me for all those terrible things that I said to you?
Jax: Well, I've forgiven you before for all the dreadful things that you've said to me, so... It's nice that you have some other redeeming qualities.
Jax: Well, enjoy the breakfast. I'll see you at the airport.
Skye: Ok.
------------------------------------------------
Jax: Wind 220 at six. Roger that. Fasten your seat belt.
Skye: Ok. I think the buckle's stuck, though.
[Jax helps]
Skye: Oh.
Jax: There. That tight enough for you?
Skye: Yeah, it's fine.
Jax: Ok.
Skye: Jax, I want you to know how much I appreciate this.
Jax: Well, let's just hope we can throw some sense into AJ. Yeah, 34 poppa. We'll taxi out. Roger that. We're cleared for takeoff. Hang on to your seat, here we go.
[Beeping]
Jax: Oh.
Skye: What's the matter? What, did you leave the door open?
Jax: No, it's worse than that. We got a problem.
