Jason: "I know I might die tonight. Now if that happens, I won't be coming home anymore. I won't hold you or talk to you or even be able to watch you try and roll over and let me tell you you're getting really close. Any day now." (pauses, thinks) "Dead. It's like going away. It's the one thing a person can't come back from. But that doesn't mean I left you, or chose my job over loving you, because there were things that were decided before you were born that make me have to go tonight." (he puts a pacifier in Michael's mouth) "You see......in the business you have to face things. You can't say 'Uh.....it's not what I wanted.', or 'I changed my mind.', or 'I have.....I have a kid now.' Anyway I might not die. I'm pretty sure I won't, but I tell you everything and I always tell you when I'm coming home. Tonight I can't. But I'm leaving you and Carly a lot of money in case she decided to tell A.J. the truth or take you to the Quartermaines." (pauses) "Never believe that they own you Michael. You belong to yourself......You know when Carly said she was giving you to me, I almost said 'You can't give one person to another.' I know now what she meant. You were the greatest gift I ever got." (pauses) "Not because you belong to me.......but because I had the chance to know you at all." (Jason holds Michael and pauses for a minute.........the scene fades out)
