Telling Jax About the Plot Against Him - Part 1

 

V: OK, I have bite-sized mini pizzas in pesto, sausage, and meatless marinara.

Jax: So you're telling me that your new barmaid downstairs is trying to kill me.

Mac: Look, we think she is working for someone that wants you out of the way.

V: Yeah, she calls herself Tess meadows from Santa rosa, California, and we were able to ascertain that there is such a person. Felicia: but it's not the woman downstairs.

 

V: Yeah.

Jax: The one who wants me dead?

Felicia: Yes.

Jax: So much so that instead of killing me she kidnaps Mac and replaces him with an impersonator who you're now impersonating.

Mac: Jax, they obviously don't want any loose ends. Look, they want to eliminate you and they want to present to the police the responsible party with no questions asked.

Felicia: The responsible party is what they're setting Mac up to be.

Jax: V, they've got you believing all this?

Mac: Come on, Jax. Everyone in town knows you and I hate each other's guts.

V: He keeps saying that, but is it true?

Mac: Fine, look, we're older. We're grown men now. I'll admit that you got maybe one good point.

Jax: You have yours. But basically, yes, we hate each other's guts.

Felicia: Tess engineered a very public reminder. Now, why would Mac go to the tabloid press and talk about Brenda? He doesn't even talk to her that much, anyway.

Mac: And you -- what, you believe everything you read? You walk right in and you smack me in front of witnesses and a photographer, playing right into Tess' hands.

Jax: Ah. But how do you know it wasn't my evil twin?

Felicia: James isn't an evil twin. I know about evil twins.

Mac: Jax, you have yourself a good laugh.

V, Would you mind doing the honors?

V: Uh-uh.  

Jax: The honors?

V: Mm-hmm.

Mac: Ahem.

Jax: I'm going to have nightmares about this, I can tell.

Felicia: Yeah. But he's pretty cute, though.

V: James, can you behave yourself?

James: Felicia, you're making a terrible mistake. I'm Mac. He's the imposter.

V: James.

Felicia: If you're Mac, when was Georgie's birthday? What's Robin's favorite flower?

V: Yeah. What Australian writer won the nobel prize for literature in 1973?

Mac: Australian writer?

James: Are there any of the meatless marinaras left?

Jax: By God, how do you tell them apart?
