Skye: You're filth, you know that? Breaking into people's houses and ordering them around. Well, screw you. I'm going to make sure you crawl back to the gutter you came from.
Sonny: You have a dirty mouth and a worse attitude. Why don't you save it for Jax. It may turn him on, but I know what you are. There are 20 of you working every floor of every casino that I own. I'm not interested.
Skye: You bastard!
Sonny: There goes that mouth again. Are you going to stand here all day and talk trash to me while your brother hides behind you?
AJ: No, I'm just hanging out, Sonny, waiting for your goon to get back and tell you Courtney's not here, she never was.
Sonny: Oh, really?
AJ: I don't know what you did to drive her away, but it's not my problem. Although, I do hope she stays away.
Sonny: I bet you do, AJ.
AJ: Yeah.
Johnny: No sign of her, except for this.
Skye: It's mine. Give it back to me, you thief.
Sonny: How much you charging AJ for this act? Do you get paid by the day or by the hour or by the job? What is it?
AJ: Shut your mouth!
Sonny: I, I can see why you'd want to defend her. She may be a liar and, you know, for sale for whoever wants to pay her, but she's still your sister. Now you can imagine how I feel about mine. Where's Courtney?!
Jax: Sonny, don't do this. AJ, where's Courtney?
AJ: I don't know.
Sonny: She was here, she forgot to pack her necklace.
Skye: I told you it's mine.
Jax: May I see that?
Sonny: Yeah, here.
Jax: Thanks.
Sonny: There you go.
Jax: Hmm, it's not usually your style. Then again, neither was the jacket that you found here the other day.
Skye: How could you do this?
Jax: How could you?!
Sonny: AJ, tell me where Courtney is.
AJ: I don't know.
Sonny: Ok, you know what? Either you're lying or Jax is, and it's true, Jax hates me, but he likes to think of himself as a protector, and he barely knows Courtney. You've been playing games with me since she disappeared. So you're going to tell me where she is one way or another.
Jax: Listen, Sonny...
Sonny: What?!
Jax: I didn't tell you this information so you could take revenge on AJ. I just want Courtney safe, so back off, ok?
Sonny: I have not touched AJ. He is going to come with me voluntarily.
Skye: What, you're kidnapping him?!
Sonny: Oh, no, no, I'm not kidnapping him. I'm just going to invite him to take a little walk with me alone. Johnny and Max will stay here. We will have a simple conversation to clear things up.
Skye: My brother's not going anywhere with you.
Sonny: Oh, she, she speaks for you now, AJ?
[Sonny laughs]
AJ: Well, you know, I've disappeared once already. I'm not really in the mood to do it again.
Sonny: AJ, I just want to talk to you, you know? We'll take a little walk, just you and me. We'll have a simple conversation to settle this. Isn't that what you want?
AJ: Well...
Sonny: Yeah?
AJ: Ok, buddy, you know, if that's the only way I can get you out of my place. Sure, let's do it.
Skye: AJ, don't trust him.
AJ: It's all right, I'll be ok. Don't worry.
Jax: Anything happens to AJ, Corinthos, I'll call the police myself.
Sonny: I'm sure you will, Jax.
 Skye: If anything happens to my brother, it's on your head. You're no better than those neanderthals at the door. You're Sonny's accomplice.
Jax: AJ lied. I saw Courtney with my own eyes.
Skye: Oh, oh, really? Was she afraid? Was she in pain? Because you can be damn well sure that's what AJ's feeling right now. You goaded him into walking out that door with a psychopath! You know, Jax, your, your game has rules. Table stakes you play for, money or control. But Sonny, Sonny's dangerous. His manners are like his suit, something he sees in a magazine and he buys. But we all know the truth. We all know that he's just an animal from the streets and he'll kill anyone to get his way! Why can't you just admit it? The man's a murderer.
Jax: I doubt that. You know, in my experience, Sonny rarely gets his hands dirty. He has employees for that.
Skye: Sonny's violent and he hates my brother!
Jax: Yeah, well, AJ's given him good reason to.
Skye: Jax, you're helping him! Don't you understand that? You despise Sonny! He, he destroyed a woman you loved! He dismantled her life. Isn't that what you said? Now you're letting him do the same thing to AJ?
[Phone rings]
Max: Hello? Yes, sir, right away.
Jax: Is that Sonny? Where are you going?
Skye: My God, where do you think he's going? God, they're going to get rid of the body!
AJ: What body?
Skye: AJ! Oh, thank God, AJ!
AJ: I'm all right.
Jax: What happened?
AJ: Sonny pulled a gun, things got interesting.
Jax: You have any evidence?
AJ: Yeah, right. It's always Sonny's word against mine, Jax. But, hey, we all know what an honorable guy Sonny is, right, buddy?
Jax: You know, you're unbelievable, AJ! You and I both know that Courtney was here. The three of us stood in this very room. What amazes me is that you thought that you could get away with such an outrageously stupid lie. You used Sonny's sister against him, that's beneath contempt! Not even Corinthos would go that low.
Skye: What about you, Jax? You know what Sonny's done to my brother. You knew what his reaction would be when he found out that Courtney was with AJ.
Jax: Yeah, I just told the truth. I can't be responsible for the fallout. Not that truth is a concept that you can grasp, Skye. I mean, you knew all along that AJ was keeping Courtney here, but you kept your mouth shut. And when I saw Courtney's jacket, you said that it was yours, just like you did with that necklace just now. You're standing by and letting your brother take advantage of an innocent girl. You're encouraging, in fact! You're despicable!
 [Jax leaves]
Skye: I hope you're happy now, AJ. I warned you. I warned you all along this would happen.
