courtney: You -- you didn't have to walk me all the way to work.

Jason: It's no problem. I'll just come back after your shift and make sure you get home safe.

Courtney: Jason, spending the night with me was enough. It meant so much.

Jason: If anybody bothers you, you call me right away.

Courtney: I will. Thanks again.

Jason: Sure.

Elizabeth: Jason.

Jason: You should be at the penthouse.

Elizabeth: Oh, I'm working. Can you tell me what you were doing with courtney all night?

Jason: Well, A.J.'S out of town. He went to washington to get back some -- some money the government confiscated.

Elizabeth: And courtney didn't want to stay alone, so she called you?

Jason: No, she's been getting phone calls, hang-ups, heavy breathing. She was alone, she was scared with the power outage last night, so I just -- I just went over there to stay with her.

Elizabeth: Right. I didn't mean to interrogate you.

Jason: No, it's -- carly told me that you'd gone back to work.

Elizabeth: Yeah, I would have told you myself, but i haven't seen you for days.

Jason: I know. I'm sorry. There's just so much going on. I mean, I still haven't found alcazar yet. But I am pretty sure that he's concentrating on something else rather than tracking down zander, but it would still be better for you and zander to stay at the penthouse where the guards can protect you.

Elizabeth: Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to wait around your apartment, playing pool with zander, staring out the window, waiting for either one of two things to happen -- either the front door's going to open, you'll be home, or the phone's going to ring and it's going to be someone telling me that you've been shot, like sonny.

Jason: You hate it?

Elizabeth: Yeah, pretty much.

Jason: I hate it, too. Especially what it's doing to you.

Elizabeth: I'm not the grief po ice, ok, and I'm not telling you how to mourn for your best friend. But working all the time and staying away from the people who care about you isn't a way of dealing. It's putting the pain off, and sooner or later you're going to crash, and I don't want that to happen to you.

Jason: You know, elizabeth, everything --ñ everything you're telling me right now is right. But I still have to do it this way. Look, I just want you to know, no matter what happens, I appreciate you trying to help me and that you care about how i feel. Look, I --

elizabeth: You have to go. Be careful, ok?

Jason: You be careful because alcazar is still out there and he's desperate. And I couldn't take it if he came after you.

Courtney: Is everything all right between you and jason?

Elizabeth: Not even close.

Courtney: Look, if you're upset about him staying with me, I can explain.

Elizabeth: Yeah, it threw me, but jason told me that you've been getting phone calls and, you know, stuff like that, so --

courtney: Well, do you remember when I got one here the other day and I got all freaked out?

Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.

Courtney: There's been more. And other things -- someone's trying to scare me. A.J.'S away. I just -- I didn't know who else to call.

Elizabeth: Well, I'm glad jason could help you. I just wish he would let me help him. He's got to be hurting so bad over sonny's death, and he won't admit it. He won't even slow down long enough to feel it.

Courtney: Well, maybe if you talk to him again.
