Courtney: Hey.

Jason: How's everything going?

Courtney: Well, no phone calls and no one followed me to work, if that's what you're asking. Listen, thank you, again, for walking me home last night. Hopefully, that jerk has lost interest.

Jason: Hey.

Elizabeth: Here you go. I'll get you some more coffee.

Jason: Are you -- wait, hold on. You're just going to walk -- walk by me from now on?

Elizabeth: I'm going to treat you like any other customer -- like I barely know you, because I don't. So, what can I get you?

Jason: The usual.

Elizabeth: And that would be?

Courtney: Just black coffee, right?

Elizabeth: You get it for him.

Courtney: What was all that about?

Courtney: Is Elizabeth mad at you for walking me home last night?

Jason: Elizabeth thought Sonny was dead like everybody else and she didn't like being lied to and I can't really blame her.

Courtney: Well, did you explain to her that -- that you kept a secret to save my brother's life?

Jason: Yeah, I -- I mean, I think so. I think she knows it. You know, I don't even know what I said. She was hurt and angry and everything she was saying was right, so there wasn't really a lot I could -- I could say back. I mean, not even that I was sorry. Because I had to do it that way and if it happened again, I would do the exact same thing.

Courtney: Well, that's your job, right, to protect sonny. I mean, even if it means doing things that you don't particularly like -- like guarding me.

Jason: Guarding you is easy, trust me, compared to some of the jobs Sonny makes me do.

Courtney: Well, maybe Elizabeth will realize that you didn't want to lie to her. Maybe she just needs time to cool down. I feel like that when I lose my temper. I blow up and I say things that i don't really mean, and then i think of it better and i'm sure she will, too.

Jason: Hey, you know, it's just -- I mean, it's not one lie. It's my whole life. It's what I do, everything i can't tell her. She -- she doesn't want to deal with it anymore, so -- I mean, she shouldn't have to.

Courtney: You know, you might not realize this, but pretending that you don't exist is -- it's a clear sign that elizabeth still cares about you.

Jason: Yeah, if you say so.

Courtney: And why wouldn't she? I mean, yeah, ok, your job's awful. But -- I don't know -- it also seems like the danger makes everything else more intense. And as hard as it is for her to wait for you to come back, when you do, i'm sure she's -- she's so relieved and happy. I'm sure elizabeth will realize that the highs are worth the lows. You know, you can do a lot more than you ever dreamed of for somebody when you really love them. I mean, just ask me and A.J.

Jason: I think that guy wants more coffee.

Courtney: You're right. I'm a terrible waitress. Luckily, i only have 10 more minutes in this shift.

Jason: I'll wait and walk you home.

Courtney: Oh, it's ok. It's broad daylight. I think I'll be all right.

Jason: I'm going that way anyway.

Courtney: If i said no, would you accept it or would you just follow me anyway?

Jason: I'd follow you.

Courtney: Then why'd you even ask?

Jason: I said i'll wait and walk you home.

Courtney: Right.

Jason: Uh -- you know what? I got to talk to roy, and it might take a few minutes.

Courtney: It's ok. It's all right. Like i said, it's broad daylight out. Besides, I probably shouldn't get too used to relying on you. I mean, A.J. Will be home soon. If i have any more problems, I'll -- I'll call my dad.

Jason: Ok.
