Jax: Well, is Edward telling the truth?
Skye: Ooh, did it just cold in here all of a sudden, or is that just you? Kidding.
Jax: Are you faking threats from Sonny so I will come to the rescue?
Skye: Wow, your eyes just went all flat, like a shark.
Jax: Who did you think you were swimming with?
Skye: It's very effective, in case you're wondering.
Jax: Well, it's how I do business and so does Edward. We try to see through the other person's mask and reveal nothing. You know, you should know this by now.
Skye: Well, then, I guess I'm guilty until proven otherwise.
Jax: Are you planning a preemptive strike, or are you just stalling?
Skye: Fine, fine. Is Sonny lurking, sending me scary photos, making threats? No, of course not. Edward's right, I faked the whole thing. Edward's absolutely right, I faked all those threats from Sonny Corinthos.
Jax: Why?
Skye: You, Jax! You, you, you! So that you would get interested in me.
Jax: I know a preemptive strike when I see one.
Skye: Oh, you see? See how good you are? I don't know why I let you do this. Why can't I remember? You are the shark and I am the pathetic weirdo who dragged you into business with me.
Jax: You know, maybe that is part of the scam.
Skye: Oh, without a doubt. I mean, never mind that I made everybody get richer or that I alienated my entire family. It was about you, Jax, from the start. And you're finally starting to catch on.
Jax: You know, maybe I am.
Skye: Oh, you know, that burned card on my bed? That lovely photo with my face crossed out? Well, you were there, Jax. You couldn't tell? I wasn't really terrified. Couldn't tell I was faking?
Jax: Well, you know, that was fairly convincing.
Skye: Well, then, my plan must be working, huh? My scheme to swim with the biggest shark of all.
Jax: Even if it means baiting Sonny Corinthos?
Skye: Sonny Corinthos is a coffee importer with poor social skills. What's the problem? He never takes people out on interesting boat rides. I mean, he never kidnapped my brother and forced him to sign away his son!
Jax: You know, why do you have to fight AJ's battles for him anyway?
Skye: Oh, excellent question, Mr. Jacks. AJ's my brother, why not let him fend for himself?
Jax: Well, he's done ok so far.
Skye: Oh, right, as usual! I mean, after all, why would Sonny be upset with me? All I did was take ELQ right out from under him.
Jax: You know, Sonny doesn't need ELQ.
Skye: Oh, hey, you know, you did see him threaten me right in front of you, but what the heck. Maybe I put the guy up to it. That Sonny! What a kidder! Ha!
Jax: I see.
Skye: There you go again, you see? The shark eyes. Come on, Jax, save yourself the energy. You're right, I'm wrong, you win. I mean, can't you see why I did this? For Jasper Jacks, the greatest prize of all! What an ego.
Jax: So then, you didn't fake anything.
Skye: Oh, what difference does it make? And who cares if you believe me? You don't think I know what you're doing with Sonny? You're just using me to bait him, huh, to get back at him. Just another excuse for you to go ridin' to the rescue.
Jax: Is that what you think?
Skye: Oh, who cares what I think? You know, I am just so sick of Sonny Corinthos and you!
Jax: Skye, wait...
Skye: No! You know all that self-defense stuff you're teaching me? Well, it's really starting to pay off.
Jax: Ouch.
[Knock on Door]
Jax: Skye?
Skye: It's late!
Jax: Just open the door.
Skye: Send me an e-mail.
Jax: Ok, fine. If that's the way you want it.
Skye: What?
Jax: Are you ok?
Skye: Shouldn't I be asking you that question?
Jax: Safe to come in?
Skye: Sure, I'll even pour you a brandy.
Jax: Ok, as long as I don't end up on the floor.
Skye: Actually, I am really glad to see you. I have a confession to make.
Jax: About Sonny?
Skye: No, about you.
