Jax: Is this how you typically greet your gentleman callers?
Skye: I wouldn't describe someone who sneaks up on women and grabs them in the dark as a gentleman.
Jax: I didn't know who it was. And, no, I am not here to join in your revenge against Sonny.
Skye: You could do a lot worse, you know. I mean, if nothing else, I've proved that I'm a worthy partner.
Jax: All you did was prove that you took a self-defense course, which is prudent, given your penchant for alienating people. You know, as a partner, you'd be a liability, which is why I'm refusing your offer.
Skye: Oh, I see. Well, in that case, I'm just going to call the police.
[Jax stops Skye from getting the phone]
Skye: Why are you trying to avoid the police? Are you hiding something? Do you have some sort of secret confab going on with cousin Ned?
Jax: No, I'm just trying to keep you from making a fool of yourself.
Skye: Oh, how gallant, considering you were just lying flat on your back. What are you really doing here?

Jax: I came to see Ned, thought you were a burglar.
Skye: Fat lot of good it would've done you if I were.
Jax: Hey, I don't take physical advantage of women. Unless they insist.
Skye: Good for you. I'm still calling the cops.
Jax: What, exactly, are you going to tell them?
Skye: The truth, that you jumped me.
Jax: As you pointed out, it was the other way around, and I have the bruises to prove it.
Skye: I was just protecting my property. I am a Quartermaine. I live on this estate.
Jax: Oh, yes, clubbing people with family name. That's thoroughly Quartermaine. I thought you said they were making your life hell.
Skye: They do their best.
Jax: So why not team up with Sonny instead of attacking him? Unless, of course, you have an ulterior motive. What's really going on here, Skye? Why do you have it in for Sonny?
Skye: My family is the lesser of two evils when compared to Sonny Corinthos, and that's saying something.
Jax: You know, you strike me as a practical woman, if nothing else. I couldn't imagine you'd make an enemy of Sonny unless you had a very good reason.
Skye: Well, since you have made it quite clear that we're not going to be partners, you're just going to have to wonder.
Jax: It's no concern of mine. Then again, I hate to see Sonny win, even against the likes of you. So, do yourself a favor and back off while you still can.
Skye: Fortunately for you, Mr. Jacks, I'm feeling benevolent. I'm not going to call the cops, for now. But if I were you, I would go before I had a change of heart.
Jax: I didn't realize you had one.
Skye: Oh, a heart as big as all outdoors, and speaking of outdoors...
[Skye gasps.]
Skye: Wait. Don't move.
Skye: Oh, don't pull so hard.
Jax: It's just a sweater.
Skye: Just a sweater?! This sweater was specially designed for me. This sweater is ridiculously expensive.
Jax: You know what they say, money can't buy taste.
Skye: Well, obviously you know nothing about fashion.
Jax: Just hold still, will you? This is, this is absurd. You know what? There's got to be a pair of scissors around here somewhere.
Skye: No, you are not taking a pair of scissors to this sweater. No way!
Jax: I am certainly not going to stay attached to you.
Skye: Well, you know, you're the one whose buttons got caught on my sweater. That's why we're in this mess. Now, just, come on, just work it loose.
Jax: I've tried. It is too tangled.
Skye: Well, just do something. Take your shirt off.
Jax: My, my, we're forceful, aren't we?
Skye: Just do it.
Jax: Ok, if you insist.
Jax: I've almost got it. I've just about got it...
Ned: Don't tell me, it's not what it looks like.
