[Knock on door]

Jax: But it's -- yeah, come in, come in.

Alexis: Thanks.

Jax: Um, it's --

Alexis: I'm sorry that I'm early, but those papers that you sent me -- we need to talk about this.

Jax: Ok -- ooh.

Carly: I have to be kept in the dark while she gets to know everything?

Jax: No, it's not like -- no, no, no, it's not like -- Carly?

Carly: I'm out of here.

Jax: It's not like -- it's --

Carly: I'm not talking to you right now.

Jax: Ok, it's not what you think, it's --

[Jax sighs]

Jax: Yeah, and you're enjoying this, aren't you?

Alexis: I didn't say anything.

Jax: I can see it.

Alexis: No, I'm thinking it.

Jax: I can see you thinking.

Alexis: Do you really want to keep her out of a decision this important?


Jax: Oh, it's good to see you've got your appetite back.

Alexis: No?

Jax: Your hair looks great.

Alexis: These are extensions. What do you think? I got rid of the wig. It's gone.

Jax: It's growing back?

Alexis: Mm-hmm.

Jax: That's wonderful.

Alexis: Now, let's get serious for a minute.

Jax: Business. Ok.

Alexis: As your attorney, I feel it's my job to caution you that you're going to considerable expense and trouble for the sake of sentiment.

Jax: Well, I'm a sentimental guy. I thought that was one of the things you loved about me.

Alexis: It is, it really is one of the things, except in this circum-- never mind. My opinion on this subject really doesn't matter.

Jax: Your opinion always matters. It doesn't mean I have to agree with you.

Alexis: When are you going to tell Carly?

Jax: When the time is right.

Alexis: I don't suppose it would be helpful to tell you that you are avoiding?

Jax: She's a little on edge right now, and I can't blame her, ok? I didn't experience, you know, when Jerry took over the -- the lobby, and the fear is still very real for Carly. And she thinks that Jerry is just waiting to wreak more havoc, so --

Alexis: I completely understand that. What he did was horrific. He hurt a lot of people that we happen to care a lot about. But I also understand how you feel, because no matter what he did, he's still your brother, right?

Jax: Yeah. And if he's in trouble -- and when is he -- when is he not? -- I want to help him. Of course, Carly disagrees with me, and I can't blame her.

Alexis: If it makes you feel any better, I actually saw another side to him. I was being manipulated at the time, but I did see something nice about him. In fact, I wouldn't be sitting here if it weren't for your brother.

[Alexis sighs]

Alexis: Does that help?

Jax: No -- really, no, it just --

Alexis: No?

Jax: You know, it makes what Jerry did even more confusing. I mean, how can he help you right after he terrorized a bunch of people? It just doesn't really make sense.

Alexis: Are you wondering if there's still any good to him? All right, for what it's worth -- and keep in mind that I'm flypaper for the psychotics -- I still think there is.
