Jax: May I have your attention, please? While I am, in fact, not related to either the bride or the groom, I would like to take this opportunity to wish them both well. So if we could all raise our glasses. Speaking from experience, I can say that you can find love in the most unlikely places. Sometimes what starts out as a game or as fun can blossom into something so much more. I certainly hope it will be that way for AJ and Courtney. I also hope that AJ will make sure that all of Courtney's wishes come true. To AJ and Courtney.
Jax: Now, like all good guests, we should know when to leave. Well, congratulations. You're a beautiful looking bride.
Courtney: Thank you. I'm glad that you guys could be here. I mean that. And if I didn't appreciate it before, I do now.
Jax: Sure.
Skye: [To AJ] Hey, I love you. And I hope that you and AJ will be very happy.
Jax: Well, let's go.
--------------------------------------------
Jax: There you are. It's a nice night for a swim.
Skye: Oh, go ahead. I think I'm going to stay away from night swimming for awhile, though. Nearly drowning does make a lasting impression.
Jax: Well, you realize the water is a lot warmer here. Plus, you'll be swimming with me, so?
Skye: See this? [Hands him a handful of sand]
Jax: Yeah.
Skye: It's dry.
Jax: Yeah.
Skye: I like dry. But you go ahead.
Jax: You know, the question is, will you be here when I get back?
Skye: Gee, I don't know. There aren't any commercial flights until the morning and, well, I highly doubt that Ned or Sonny will give me a ride home on their plane. Either of them would probably kick me out halfway without a parachute. I really couldn't say that I would blame them.
Jax: Look, what your brother did tonight. You're not responsible for that.
Skye: I should have done something weeks ago.
Jax: Well, you heard Courtney tonight. You laid it out for her, and she didn't want to believe you. She wants to believe AJ and that's her right. At least if she gets her heart broken, she'll know that it was her own mistake.
Skye: Oh, this is all so very screwed up and sad. And it's only going to get sadder.
Jax: We'll always face tough times. It's the joyous moments that we have to take wherever we can find them.
Skye: Mr. Jacks, are you offering me a joyous experience?
Jax: Well, you know, I'll give it my best shot if you'll trust me for just the next 24 hours.
Skye: 24 hours is a long time for me to trust anyone, but I think in your case, I'll make an exception.

Singer: Send it in a letter, make yourself feel better. But it's not so bad, you're only the best I ever had. You don't need me back, you're just the best I ever had. It may take some time to patch me up inside. But I can't take it so I run away and hide. And I may find in time that you were always right, you're always right.
