Jax: You call that a plan?
Skye: I need to get Sonny before he gets me.
Jax: I made an offer to Zander Smith, money for information.
Skye: Oh, please. Zander Smith is Sonny's lackey.
Jax: I agree. Yes, it is entirely possible that Zander will go straight to Sonny with my offer, which is fine. You see, Sonny already knows that I'm out to bring him down, but Zander's a kid. Not only will he tell Sonny about my offer, but he'll probably also mention it to some of Sonny's other associates, businessmen who care more about money than loyalty. It shouldn't be too long there before one of these thugs steps up to collect.
Skye: But Sonny's after me now. Look, my plan is quicker. All I have to do is get in Sonny's face...
Jax: No, no, that's out of the question.
Skye: ...and threaten him.
Jax: It's out of the question, Skye!
Skye: Ok. Well, then, I'll just, I'll let Sonny follow me to some desolate spot.
Jax: Ok, you know what? Why don't you just throw yourself in front of a speeding train?!
Skye: Oh, come on, Jax. You want to get Sonny just as much as I do.
Jax: Yes, but not at the expense of your safety.
Skye: Come on. Nothing is going to happen to me because you are going to be there with a camera.
Jax: Tell me you're joking.
Skye: Ok. All right, forget the camera. Look, but nothing is going to happen because you will have the eyewitness account of Sonny trying an attempted assault...
Jax: Ok, Skye, Skye, listen to me. This is your assignment, stay away from Sonny Corinthos.
Skye: No, I am not going to let myself be intimidated by Sonny.
Jax: This is not a game, Skye!
Skye: I am not going to hide out from him.
Jax: Stay away from Sonny. Anything you do would only antagonize him further and put you in greater danger.
Skye: Jax, the plan is foolproof. Come on.
[Knock on door]
Jax: Is there something I can do for you?
Sonny: Yeah. I have a private matter to discuss. Now, I can say it out here, unless you don't care if somebody hears your personal business. Up to you, Jax. You tell me what you want.
Jax: Make it quick.
Sonny: Ok.
Skye: Why bother knocking? Vermin like you usually just crawl under the door.
Sonny: I gave you a warning, Jax. Apparently you forgot...
Skye: Oh, save it, Sonny.
Jax: Skye...
Skye: Your warning days are over...
Jax: Skye...
Skye: No, when I'm finished with you, you're going to be a smudge on the pavement. And I will finish with you, make no mistake about it. Hey, you look at me when I'm talking to you!
Jax: Skye!
Jax: Skye, Skye. You remember our assignment, what we discussed?
Skye: I didn't agree on any assignment.
Jax: Then would you excuse us? Mr. Corinthos and I have something to discuss.
Sonny: Oh, man. Wow.
Jax: What makes you think you can threaten me?
--------------------------
Skye: Ooh. This is where Sonny held you? This place is disgusting!
AJ: Yeah, well, it gets worse around midnight when the rats start scurrying through the walls on their scratchy little claws.
Skye: Do you have to be so graphic?
AJ: I'm trying to scare you into not doing this.
Skye: You won't.
AJ: This is a really bad idea.
Skye: Yeah, well, Sonny has to pay for tormenting you and for keeping little Michael away from his father.
AJ: You know what? I really appreciate the sentiment, I do, but there's got to be a better way.
Skye: Not if I want to keep Jax on my side.
AJ: Skye, just, just bat those baby browns.
Skye: He's getting suspicious, and a sexy dress just isn't going to cut it, all right? I've got to find a drastic way to keep Jax's anger at Sonny alive. Now, if we play this right, then all we have to do is just, well, sit back and watch while Jax singlehandedly destroys Sonny.
AJ: Spoken like a true Quartermaine.
--------------------------
Alexis: Why would Sonny threaten Skye?
Jax: You were there that night at No Name when all this started.
Alexis: Yes, I was there and I told you then that you walked in on the tail end of a conversation where Sonny was telling Skye how insignificant she was to him and that if she didn't stop cheating people and pretending to be the injured party that someone else would swat her down.
Jax: That's what you heard?
Alexis: That's what he said. And the someone else would be Edward or Ned or the legions of other human beings that have been bilked and/or lied to by Skye Quartermaine. You walked in the end of a conversation and you leapt to the wrong conclusion, which I've noticed that Skye has done nothing to talk you out of.
Jax: Look, I've seen the way Sonny treats her.
Alexis: So have I, it's appalling. He is mean and he is vicious to people that he holds in contempt, but that doesn't mean that he would threaten her physically.
Jax: Alexis, Sonny's in the business of hurting people.
Alexis: Granted, he's not a choir boy, but he would never raise his hand to hurt a woman.
Jax: Well, he's already threatened Skye.
Alexis: When?
Jax: Well, first, one of his thugs was watching her from outside her hotel room, he almost broke in. Then later on, she received a burnt Queen of Hearts card as a warning.
Alexis: Did you actually see Sonny?
Jax: No, but who else would pull a stunt like that?
Alexis: Skye would! Jax, it's a setup! She's manipulating you!
[Phone rings]
Jax: Excuse me. Hello.
Skye: Jax, I'm trapped. I need your help.
