Italian Jail

[Jason and Courtney are huddled up together asleep in one cell, with Jax and Carly in another]

Jax: You know, for someone who got us all arrested, you look awfully pleased with yourself.

Jax: Guard? Guard!

Carly: Hey, hey, will you keep your voice down? People are trying to sleep.

Jax: Yeah, you know what, thanks to you, we've been stuck in this hole all night. Guard! I'd like to arrange for our release!

Carly: Oh, jax, things take a little bit of time here. You're a cosmopolitan guy. I thought you'd know that.

Jax: Are you resigned to being locked up here? Or are you just trying to get jason and courtney to spend a little more time together?

Carly: Well --

jax: Courtney?

Carly: Hey, shh.

Jax: Courtney!

Carly: Shh! Stop!

[Courtney stirs and wakes up. So does Jason.  He looks as if he is dreaming she is there]

Courtney: Um, sorry. I must've drifted off.

Jason: It's no problem.

Jax: Courtney, are you all right?

Courtney: Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?

Jax: Yeah, I couldn't be better.

Courtney: So when are we going to get out of here?

Jax: I'm getting --

carly: Ok, well, we all broke the law, so we need to repay our debt to society --

courtney: Carly --

carly: All of us.

Courtney: Your little plan isn't going to work. Get that through your head.

Carly: Ok. Well, you just go on back to sleep now.

Courtney: Carly isn't very subtle, is she?

Jason: Of all the stupid ways to try to get us together.

Jax: It's all an unfortunate misunderstanding.

Carly: But we're still responsible for what we've done.

Jax: If i could just make one phone call to my attorney, we'll be out of your way.

Officer: One phone call.

Jax: Thank you.

Officer: Ah. One at a time.

Carly: Oh, um, I really -- it's difficult for me to be in small spaces, and it's actually really hard to breathe. I'm feeling flushed, really i am, and -- whew! -- If you could just let me get a little bit of fresh air while jax is making his phone call --

jax: I thought you wanted to pay your debt to society.

Carly: Yeah, well, not without you. Please, really, I just -- I don't want to be here alone. I know i made a mistake, and I know you understand that, but I just -- there is no air in here at all.

Jax: She's faking it.

Carly: Ok, please, if you could just show me this one kindness, just one -- he won't. He's so angry at me. He's so angry, but i'm a passionate woman, you know, and sometimes I just do things without thinking, and I would be so grateful if you would just let me step outside for just one minute. Thank you. Oh, thank you.

Courtney: Carly's crazy.

Jason: I can't believe she set us up again.

Courtney: Yeah, well, she wanted us here alone. Here we are.

Jason: Yeah, we'll be out in a little while.

Courtney: So much for my first trip to italy.

Jason: Yeah, you know, that -- that beach i used to talk about, it's just, like, five minutes from here. And that ancient roman temple, the one that's, you know, offshore, underwater --

courtney: Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember you telling me about that. I didn't realize that we were in the same town you described.

Jason: Maybe you can, you know, come back sometime.

Courtney: Yeah, well, I've always wanted to travel, you know, take off for a year, go wherever I wanted, see places i'd never seen, and when i got bored, i'd just move on.

Jason: Why don't you? You got the money. You wouldn't be leaving anybody behind.

Courtney: Yes, i would.

courtney: I can't just drop everything and go traveling. You know, I made a commitment to my foundation. And besides, i -- I would miss my dad and carly and the kids. Anyway, I wouldn't be exploring. I would be running away.

Jason: Yeah, well, sometimes running away is the best choice.

Courtney: Wouldn't that be something, to just run out of here and never look back?

Jax: You can release the woman. I'll pay for for her bail. Mr. Morgan can make his own arrangements.

Courtney: So, what, you just want to leave jason in here alone?

Jax: Well, unless carly wants to stay with him.

Courtney: If jason stays, so do I.

Jason: Look, it's no problem, ok? I'll make a couple calls, I'll be out right away.

Courtney: Ok, great, then it won't take very long. Have a nice flight home. I'm going to hitch a ride with carly and jason, or i'll just take a commercial flight.

Jax: I can't leave my date in a jail cell in italy.

Officer: She's your date?

Jax: Yes.

Officer: I thought she was his wife.

Carly: She is.

Courtney: No, I'm not.

Jason: Please, just let this one go. I'll arrange my own bail.

Jax: You know what, carly, why don't you shut up. Why don't you stay out of this.

Carly: Why don't you be quiet! It's none of your business!

Officer: Scusi. Scusi. If she's your date -- aren't you his wife?

Carly: Him?

Jax: Married to her? No, I don't think so.

Carly: Are you kidding me? Ok, no, let me explain something to you. The only reason that courtney is hanging out with jax in the first place is because she is in love with jason.

Jax: All we wanted was a nice vacation and to be left alone!

Carly: Oh, you and courtney are a "we" now? Please.

Courtney: Shut up! I know this is confusing. I'm sorry.

Officer: No, I understand. I understand. It's amore.

Carly: That's right. It's amore.

The Loft

[Knock on door]

[knock]

carly: Courtney, I know you're in there. Don't try to hide.

[Knock]

carly: Courtney, I'm not going to leave till you listen to reason. Fine! Fine. You want to make things difficult? That's fine with me, ok? I'll just tell your business to the entire building! You love jason, courtney! He loves you! So i don't understand this stupid bet you got going with jax --  

[Courtney opens the door and yanks Carly inside]

courtney: Carly, stop it! Would you stop it? What are you --

carly: I'm just trying to make sure that you're happy.

Courtney: What are you talking about? You're not helping at all here, carly. You can't hound jason and i into getting back together.

Carly: I just want you to be honest.

Courtney: Yeah, well, so, what, you follow me to italy and you dump a bucket of ice water on my head?

Carly: You don't want to be with jax. You don't want to be with jax any more than jason wanted to be with sam, and now she's out of the picture. And you two love each other. Do not waste this!

Courtney: Carly, you're driving me crazy!

Carly: Is that why you threw water over my head?

Courtney: , But you threw it on my head first.

Carly: Yeah, because you were on some stupid fake getaway with mr. "I think I'm god's gift to the universe and women." And what brought you back to reality, hmm?

Courtney: Carly --

carly: What was it?

Courtney: Would you just stop, please?

Carly: It was jason's voice, and I saw it. I saw the way you looked at him. You aren't over him at all.

Courtney: You know what, you're impossible.

Carly: Shouldn't one of us be happy?

Courtney: You want me to be happy, carly? Just -- oh, god, just please, please, please just go away and let me sleep off this jet lag.

Carly: Ok. Um, but I somehow -- I ended up with jason's passport. So you need to make sure to give it back to him.

PH2

Jason: Any word from sonny?

Max: No, but his dad's waiting for you inside.

Jason: Thanks.

Mike: I -- i understand you all went to italy.

Jason: Yeah, carly got herself arrested. I had to bail her out.

Mike: Yeah, well, I was hoping that you went after courtney.

Jason: Courtney and i are divorced, mike. She gets to do what she wants.

Mike: Why do you think she went to italy with jax?

Jason: He's on the board of her foundation?

Mike: She's running away from a broken heart. She still loves you, even after you cheated on her and you got another woman pregnant.

Jason: No, we broke up before this thing with sam ever happened. Ok? We decided to stop hurting each other, and the best way to do that is to leave each other alone, and everyone needs to back off!

Mike: Courtney is in a very vulnerable place right now. I mean, she is easy prey for jax, who's only going after her to pay back sonny for taking sam.

Jason: I tried to warn her, mike.

Mike: Well, jason, try harder! Admit you're wrong. Ask her to take you back. And if she does take you back and you get together, I know damn well you're going to be happy, too.

[Phone rings]

jason: Hello. What happened? Where are you?

Later…

Max: Jason isn't home.

Courtney: Well, where did he go?

Max: Sam called and he went to go get her.
