"I Don't Want to See You Get Hurt"

Waiter: It's a 1992 Dom Perignon.

Alexis: Thank you. I think we should look at tonight as a opportunity for personal growth.

Sonny: Hmm.

Alexis: You know, you've just discovered that you have a sister, she's 20 years old, and you have allowed her to go out into the dark, dark night, and you aren't even having her guarded. You aren't, are you?

Sonny: The night's not over.

Alexis: I'm still in the mood to toast to your personal growth because I believe you can do it.

Sonny: You know what? If it wasn't for you, Courtney's mother would still be arrested and Courtney would be blaming herself. Hell, if it wasn't for you, Courtney would have left town new year's eve. So I'm paying for the champagne. I get to toast. All right. To my friend, my lawyer. I will always be indebted to you.

Sonny: Gotcha.

Alexis: What's wrong?

Sonny: Well, according to the guy at the door, my sister's here.

Jax: Well, what seems to be the problem, gentlemen?

Man: It's a private club. Members only. Capisce?

Jax: I see.

Skye: Surprise! I'm not behind bars after all. I'm free to do whatever I choose to do, and what I choose to do first is this.


Skye: Your little plan to send me and A.J. To prison didn't work, despite having found your long-lost sister and her mother and trying to use them to pull it off. Wow, you shake your head at me for protecting a brother i barely know. Just you wait until somebody messes with your sister.

Sonny: Are you threatening my family?

Skye: You threatened mine. Despite all of your so-called power, I'm going to make you regret the day that you ever insulted me or kidnapped my brother or stole his son. People think I'm the piranha? Well, I say it takes one to know one. And when I get through with you, you're going to have to look for another town to go blight. When I am done with you, I'm going to make you look at E.L.Q. As the weapon that took you down because when it comes down do it, I am smarter than you and I'm way more determined!

Sonny: You're a fool! You're a fool. But you're fortunate because I have a rule against hurting women. But one of these days, somebody's going to swat you down and you're not going to be able to get up. You better hope your luck holds because one of these days, you're going to meet somebody you shouldn't be messing with and he's going to squash you.

Jax: Well, he'll have to get through me first.


Jax: You know, you love to say this or that person's under your protection. Well, consider ms. Chandler under mine. If anything should happen to her, anything at all, then you're going to have me to deal with.

Alexis: Jax, you may be jumping to the wrong conclusion --

Sonny: Alexis, this isn't your fight.

Alexis: Well, ok.

Jax: Yes, by all means let Sonny speak for himself, as he was doing so vividly when I walked up. Something about squashing someone, was it?

Alexis: Jax --

Jax: Huh? Who is it, Sonny? Who is it you're going to swat down?

Sonny: You. I'm returning my elf uniform.


Jax: If you want to come after me, I'm ready whenever you are.

Sonny: The person who's going to tear you down, Jax, is standing right next to you. And, Skye, you better enjoy it because it's going to cost you. Any woman who would sell out her own family would screw you over as soon as she can. But you know what? You want to protect her. I'm not standing in your way. Go ahead, candy boy.

Alexis: Jax, just walk away.

Jax: I assume this means you're backing down.

Sonny: Why would I want trouble from you? You found it on your own. The knight in shining armor defends the garden-variety tramp.

Jax: Watch your mouth.

Man: Is there a problem, Mr. Corinthos?

Sonny: Yeah, but it's going away.

Jax: I meant what I said.

Sonny: Yeah? So did I.

Jax: Good night, Alexis.

Alexis: Good night.

Jax: Shall we?

Waitress: We have your table set up, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Ok. Thank you. You know what? Can you go and sit? I got to take care of some business.

Alexis: I'm sure you do.


Alexis: Thank you. Thanks.

Rosco: May I buy you a drink?

Alexis: Oh, I'm with --

Rosco: With someone. I know. But your date seems to be occupied at the moment. I would be very happy to entertain you at some later date.


Rosco: I'm serious. I need a good contract lawyer. My business is tremendously difficult.

Alexis: That's understandable, given this restaurant's clientele.

Rosco: Don't jump to any conclusions. I am a legitimate businessman. But if you're not open to a professional association, perhaps you would be more receptive to a purely social invitation.

Sonny: First of all, get off of my chair, away from my friend, and walk quietly out that door.

Rosco: I meant no disrespect. I was --

Sonny: Make no attempt to contact this woman or enter this establishment again.

Rosco: Ms. Davis, I apologize if I was rude in any way. Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Tonio says the sea bass is excellent tonight.

Alexis: Are you out of your mind? Do you think maybe you overreacted just a little bit?

Sonny: Alexis, I know --

Alexis: Is this how you lost your last attorney?

Sonny: I know that man. If you ever see him again, you cross the street and you call me immediately. I don't want to see you get hurt.


Alexis: Of course, Mr. Rosco is a bad, bad man. What's he do? Pimp? Drug dealer?

Sonny: His given name is Roscolnikoff. He's Joseph Sorel's chief enforcer.

Alexis: Is "chief enforcer" some sort of code word for a violent-type job?

Sonny: The way he does it, it is. It's his calling card.

Alexis: Do I have to worry about you?

Sonny: You don't have to worry about me.
