The Docks, Courtney has been watching Sonny and Jason.
Courtney: Hi.
Jason: Uh -- how long were you standing there?
Courtney: A while. I was spying on you.
Courtney: I didn't actually hear anything that you said. I was just sort of watching.
Jason: Now, whatever you need to know, you can just ask me.
Courtney: I'm just trying to figure out why you're so loyal to sonny. And I know that you explained it to me, but i wanted to see it.
Jason: There's not a lot to see.
Courtney: I disagree. There's the friendship -- two people who trust each other. And for one thing, you know, when you're around sonny, he's relaxed. He's not all cold and guarded. Neither are you.
Jason: And you can see all that from over there?
Courtney: Yeah, as a matter of fact, i can. And I've -- you know, I've gotten used to watching you. I mean, we've spent a lot of time together, and you've been guarding me. It's gotten so that I can tell the difference between when you're quiet and still and when you're quiet and still because you're upset or furious. You're laughing at me.
Jason: No, no. Just a little.
Courtney: Well, I'm right, though. I mean, there's a difference when you're mad -- or when you're quiet because -- you're quiet when you're quiet because you're mad -- you know what I mean.
Jason: Yes, that's true.
Courtney: And you do both.
Jason: That's also true.
Courtney: And I can tell the difference. That's all i was saying.
Jason: Can I walk you home?
Courtney: Yeah, only if I you can pretend that the last five minutes never happened.
Outside her door
Jason: Oh.
Courtney: This neighborhood is not so bad.
Jason: Yeah, it is. You should probably have a guard. I'm going to ask sonny to send someone over for you.
Courtney: That's ok. I'll be fine. So, do you forgive me for spying on you?
Jason: Yeah, this time. I should go.
Courtney: Thanks again.
Jason: Yeah.
Courtney: Jason -- listen, you've done so much to help me. I'd like to do something to thank you. So, would you come by for dinner tomorrow? I mean, if you're not busy.
Jason: No, I'm -- I'm not busy.
Courtney: If you want to --
jason: No, no, it's -- yeah, that sounds good. Thanks.
Courtney: Great. Then i'll see you at 7:00?
Jason: Sure.
Courtney: Ok. See you then.
