The Loft

[Jason has just opened the door to Jax]

jason: What do you want?

Jax: Well, nothing from you. I guess I made a mistake by coming here.

Courtney: Jax, come on, this isn't what it looks like.

Michael: Hey, go away. Aunt courtney and jason were kissing. They don't want you here.

In the hall

courtney: Michael is just acting out. He's had a crazy day. Morgan was sick --

jax: No, there's no need to explain, ok? There was a crisis, and you and jason reached out to each other. It's clear that history will keep repeating itself when you two are concerned.

Courtney: Yeah, jason and I will always be connected, jax, but that doesn't mean that we're --

jax: I just want you to be happy. Ok? I'm just -- I have no intention of playing second to your ex.

Inside

Michael: That guy's a dork. Why is he always coming over here?

Jason: Courtney and jax are friends.

Michael: I don't like him. Do you?

Jason: Hmm -- you know what? Michael, that doesn't matter, because courtney and i aren't married anymore, so she gets to spend time with whoever she wants whether we like the guy or not.

The Hall

Jax: So what happened? You left my apartment and you raced home to call jason?

Courtney: Oh, so you think i set this up so that you could find me with jason?

Jax: I don't know. You know, maybe you wanted him all along. I mean, I just don't understand, you know, the whole jealousy thing, because you already won the bet and there was no need for you to pretend that you cared.

Courtney: I do care, jax.

Jax: You know, in the past few months, I really thought that you had found yourself, that you moved past jason.

Courtney: Oh, my -- you know what? This isn't about jason. It's about your guilty conscience, because you slept with a woman five minutes after the bet ended. Jax, she called out your name from your bedroom.

Jax: Is that your ex's t-shirt you're wearing?  [It so is!]

Courtney: Oh, cute. Michael made an emergency visit, ok? I was on my way to bed.

Jax: All right. Of course. You saw jason, and you just fell into each other's arms. Well, enjoy your rebound, courtney. I just hope you don't get hurt.  

[The Ass leaves and Courtney comes back in]

Michael: Good, he's gone. Now, how soon can you and jason get married again?

Jason: Courtney and i aren't getting married again.

Michael: You should. That's what you do when you're in love.

Courtney: Well, it's not up to you, michael.

Michael: You know, grownups mess everything up.

Jason: Yeah, well, maybe that's true, but it's not your job to fix it. Let's go home.

Michael: Not until mommy promises to stay away from her mean dad.

Jason: Oh, michael, you know, we've been over this already. Carly has a right to see durant if she wants. You can tell her that you don't like it, but you don't get to blackmail your mom.

Courtney: Listen, sweetie, just because you love somebody doesn't mean you get to run their life, ok? All you can do is wish for the best and hope that everyone ends up happy.

Jason: Come on, michael, you should have been in bed hours ago.

Courtney: Here, give me a hug, sweetie. Bye.

Michael: Mm-hmm.  [He hugs her]

Courtney: Good night.

Michael: Aren't you going to say good night to jason?

Courtney: Good night, jason.

[The boys leave]
