Jax: I believe I've mentioned you're beautiful.
Skye: Once or twice.
Jax: Well, I was wrong. You're astonishing, Skye. You surpass any woman I've ever met.
Edward: If you're referring to vindictiveness and deceit, I'd have to agree.
Ned: You can't seriously be thinking of taking her to the ball. She'll double-cross you before you get past the door.
Skye: That's a lie.
Sonny: No matter how they dress you up, inside you're what you always were, for sale to the highest bidder.
Skye: Jax is different.
Sonny: Bigger payoff, but the transaction's basically the same.
Jax: Apologize to the lady.
Sonny: What lady? All I see is a garden-variety tramp.
Jax: Be gone, Corinthos!
Ned: What?
Edward: Oh, good Lord.
Skye: How did you do that?
Jax: Easy when you have power. You say a command and the world obeys.
Skye: Any command?
Jax: Try me.
Skye: I want Ned to leave me alone.
Ned: Ha!
Skye: Better yet, I want him to do what I say and to come and go as I please.
Ned: I will never take orders from you, Skye.
Jax: You will now. You are Skye's chauffeur!
Ned: Will you be needing the car tonight, miss?
Jax: Well, go ahead. He's your servant now.
Skye: Have the car waiting. Mr. Jacks and I will be leaving shortly.
Ned: Yes, miss.
Edward: Now, for pity's sakes, Skye, this is just ridiculous.
Skye: Can you do the same thing to Grandfather?
Edward: No, let's don't be hasty.
Jax: Wouldn't you rather do it yourself?
Skye: Me?
Jax: You have the power, Skye. I'm sharing it with you.
Skye: You mean that?
 Jax: Go ahead, give it a try.
Edward: Now, Skye, I, I know that I may have been unkind to you in the past, but I am an old man with a very weak heart.
Skye: You're my butler.
Edward: Will you be dining at home tonight, miss?
Skye: Perhaps a light meal after the ball.
Edward: Oh, very good, miss.
Skye: That will be all.
[Jax claps]
Jax: Well done.
Skye: I can't believe you've given me this power.
Jax: Well, why shouldn't I?
Skye: I've lied to you, Jax. About so many things.
Jax: Don't you think I know that? I saw through you from the start. You're charming and seductive, and it's all a front.
Skye: It's amazingly effective.
Jax: It's a waste of time. I know who you are, Skye, and it's who I want, all of you. Your fire, your sweetness, your beauty, and your flaws. There's no chance you'll ever lose me, no chance I'll ever change my mind or walk away. I'm a sure thing, Skye. I'm yours.
Skye: I'm, I'm so afraid.
Jax: Yes, of course. Yes, it's terrifying to need someone. But every day the fear will be a little less and the trust will be a little more and before you know it, you'll believe in me just as much as I believe in you. You're loved now, anything you want is yours.
Skye: Oh, I want you.
