Jax is in the Quartermaine house pouring
some coffee. Jason enters through the back patio
door. They both look at each other.
Jax: (staring at Jason. Jason is walking towards him)
"Well, well, well, I guess it is true. Spend enough
time in the Quartermaine house and you eventually run
into everyone. Broken models.....ganster flunkies.
Where is Sonny by the way?"
Jason: (with no emotion in his voice) "There any
bagels here or what?"
Jax: "I asked you a question."
Jason: (picks up a pitcher of juice and talks
sarcastically) "I-I didn't answer. As far as I'm
concerned, you were just here when I walked through
the door. Kind of like....furniture." (Jason pours
some juice into his glass)
Jax: "Is there a reason that you came? It's a little
too late to bond with your family Jason." (Jason
takes a sip of juice and looks at Jax) "Brenda hates
the sight of you so...."
Jason: "Um, but not you right? Jax, you didn't have
to kick her door down. She would have let you in if
you would have asked nice."
Jax: "Oh, I see, and Sonny was paying the hotel to
keep tabs on her, and now that she is here he has to
send his personal Quartermaine?" (Jason is ignoring
him, reaching for some food) "Tell me something. Why
does he bother? Brenda is no use to him anymore. Her
life is in ruins.....but that's the cost of doing
business isn't it?"
Jason: "Worked out for you."
Jax: "That's a lot of attitude for a whipping boy."
(Jason continues to eat) " You know what that means
Jason? A whipping boy? That's a poor fool it is to
take another man's punishment. You die for him in
your case. You'll stay around Port Charles mouthing
Sonny's words until one of your business associates
kills you, while Sonny's on a beach
somewhere.....telling these sad stories to the other
woman, who will end up with a broken heart if she is
lucky or dead if she's not."
Jason: "Wait. Hold on. Who are you sorry for? Some
imaginary woman or Brenda?"
Jax: "I am happy for Brenda. At least your boss left
her alive, and I intend to make sure she stays that
way.....which means you never go near her again. In
case you've forgotten, people get shot in your
vacinity."
Jason: "You're right. I am dangerous....." (takes a
sip of coffee) "to know."
And in walks Edward.
Edward: "I warn you Jax, Brenda is in no mood to
have....." (Jason turns around) "Good Lord, what are
you doing here?"
Jason: "Visiting."
Edward: "Why? No one in this house wants to see you
or Jax. Now Brenda is under my protection. Neither of
you is to come near her."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jax: (walking towards Edward) "No need to have a
heart attack. If Brenda's not up to visitors, I'll
leave."
Edward: "Don't play disarming with me Jax. Left to
your own devices you would have dismantled ELQ and
would have thrown this family right into the
street."
Jax: "Come on Edward. That is old news. That's water
under the bridge."
Edward: "But a Quartermaine never forgets." (Jason
just continues to drink his coffee)
Jax; "Well, that's debateable." (looks over at
Jason)
Edward: "Oh, he isn't a Quartermaine."
Jason: (sarcastically) "Finally, somebody figured it
out."
Edward: "Not another word from you,
you.....you.....miscrent." (Jason goes and sits down
on the arm of the couch) "Jax.....get out. You are
not going to see Brenda today alright? Now I
have....." (points to Jason) "a matter to discuss
with my.....my grandson."
Jax: "You just said....."
Edward: "He's a disgrace, but he's ours." (Jason has
an annoyed look on his face) "And you aren't, so
go."
Jax: "Not until I know Brenda's alright. Has she
eaten anything?"
Edward: "She had some juice for breakfast."
Jax: "Did she sleep last night?"
Edward: "How the hell would I know?"
Jax: "Then you're not looking after her very well,
are you?"
Edward: "For your information, we have just brought
her best friend to visit her."
Jason: "What? Robin's here?"
Edward: "No.....Lois.....and she's with her now, and
they certainly don't need you to interrupt."
Jax: "Then I'll leave."
Edward: "Good."
Jax: "Gentlemen." (Jax leaves)
Jason: (Edward faces him) "So, what do you want?"
Edward: "An explanation. Where is Corinthos? And most
importantly, what did he do with the ELQ stock, which
you sold, so bidly just handed over to him?"
Jason: "Don't worry about it. It's taken care of." (takes another sip of coffee)
Edward: "Oh, you consider that an answer huh?"
Jason: "It's the only one you're gonna get."
Edward: "Oh, you're still working for him, aren't you? By your choice? After everything he's done?"
Jason: "I didn't realize that you were such a big fan of romance now."
Edward: "There was no reason to break that poor girl's heart. That was cruel. Just like most of Corinthos' actions."
Jason: "Come on! Let's just get to it! Brenda has nothing to do with it.....you're still mad because Sonny owns part of ELQ."
Edward: "He took advantage of a damaged boy, one who is damaged no longer. You know exactly what Corinthos was doing, with ELQ, and with Brenda. Jason, you are every bit as guilty as he is."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jason: "Now if you have business to discuss, get to it....otherwise I'm leaving."
Edward: "Oh, are you in a hurry to go murder someone? Or whatever it is you do for Corinthos. You know Jason, I have watched you break your parent's hearts for more than a year now, and your grandmother didn't sleep for a week after you'd been shot. And Emily called every night from Europe to see whether or not you'd been arrested. Now they may all see you.....you as some crippled innocent. Oh, but I know perfectly well what you're doing. It's just as deliberate as Corinthos leaving that poor Brenda at the altar. You want us to do pennance for some unpartable sin that we don't ever remember commiting, and you won't stop til we have been bankrupt by the wreckhall statues or crying over your grave." (Jason just stands there, showing no emotion towards Edward) "Well, enough is enough, now Corinthos is gone.....and I want you to come home."
Jason: "Well, you said it yourself.....I'm not a Quartermaine."
Edward: "Then leave.....damn you.....and don't come back!" (Edward walks away, and Lila comes in)
Lila: "Jason, I thought I heard your voice."
Jason: "Hello grandmother."
Lila: "How are you feeling?"
Edward: "I refuse to stand here while you molly coddle a criminal." (He starts to leave the room) "Make sure he doesn't take any silver when he leaves." (He leaves, and Jason shakes his head)
Lila: "Did your grandfather tell you that Lois is here, and little Brooke Lynn is upstairs if you want to visit her."
Jason: "Ah, I-I don't think so grandmother."
Lila: "You look tired my dear."
Jason: "Ah, I'm alright."
Lila: "I'm sure you must miss your friend Mr. Corinthos."
Jason: "Yeah."
Lila: "But you do understand, what he did to Brenda was wrong."
Jason: "Sonny did what he had to do." (He stands up) "I should get going."
Lila: "Please come back you hear, and visit, whenever you want dear. I-I worry about you."
Jason: "Don't." (Jason leaves the house, and goes onto th back patio, where Jax is waiting for him)
Jax: "We're not finished."
Jason: (walking away) "Yeah, we are."
Jax: "I kept the peace with Sonny for Brenda's sake. She doesn't give a damn about you." (Jason turns around and they stare at each other)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jax: "I don't know why Sonny's dissappearance depended on Brenda's public humiliation, all I know is that it worked. She's clear of a world that almost destroyed her. She's been kidnapped, terrorized, hit by a car, shot in her own shower, and nothing like that is ever going to happen again. And if it does.....I'll hold you responsible."
Jason: "Then what? Kill me? Ruin my credit rating? Brenda's not important anymore Jax. Sonny dumped her and she means nothing to anyone that is in this organization."
Jax: "There's no reason to guard her is there?"
Jason: "Why are you protecting her? Or are you just trying to find out if Sonny's coming back?"
Jax: "I wish he would.....cause I'd ruin him. Sonny Corinthos is a gutless coward who didn't have the honor to reject Brenda to her face. Instead he sent you. You made yourself an enemy that night.....and I don't mean Brenda."
Jason: "Oh, oh, she is safe! That's all you're getting from me. Take that and get out of here, before I show you how I deal with my enemies."
Jax: (calmly) "First rule of business Jason.....never lose your temper." (Jax turns around, and starts to wallk away)
Jason: (calmly, but with an angry tone of voice) "Second rule. Never turn your back."
