Quartermaine Mansion

A.J.: Look around. Huh? Nice place to live, right?

Janine: What, are you kidding me? It's the lap of luxury. Hot- and cold-running servants. What's not to love?

A.J.: Exactly. And my brother threw all this away -- the quartermaine name, money, power, perks, all of it. And for what? To work for some crime lord and be his lackey? I mean, is this the kind of guy you want to marry your daughter?

Janine: Well, before you get too full of yourself, A.J., Let me remind you that courtney would still be living here if you hadn't tried to use her as leverage over sonny.

A.J.: I'm not saying i didn't make terrible mistakes and blow everything. But I love courtney. Part of me always will. But this is from my heart. I know my brother better than you. He's a killer, ok? A remorseless, brain-damaged thug. And I want you to use all the influence you have over your daughter to stop her from throwing her life away on my brother.

Janine: I don't know. Courtney can be awfully stubborn when she gets her mind set on something.

A.J.: She's just blinded by her attraction to jason. But you could get her to see that -- you know, possibly see things from a different point of view. "Mommy knows best" sort of thing?

Janine: I could probably come at her with a little more conviction if I weren't so low on funds.

A.J.: I knew you'd say that. Excuse me. Ahem. Will this do for starters?

Janine: Whoa. Whatever idiot said money can't buy happiness?

A.J.: For fortification.

Janine: Hmm. You think of everything.

A.J.: It's a gift. So i will hear from you soon?

Janine: This entitles you to the best I've got.

A.J.: Bye-bye.

Skye: Shame, shame, shame on you.

A.J.: Ahem. How long you been there?

Skye: Well, long enough to decide I'm not going to let you booby-trap courtney's path to true love.

Kelly's

Courtney: I feel really bad, carly, i mean, not to mention mortified.

Carly: Don't be ridiculous.

Courtney: Well, you went to so much trouble to throw me such a beautiful shower, and what happens? My past turns up and ruins it.

Carly: As far as showers go, I've been to worse. Some of them have been my own. But if you really want to make it up to me and you feel that badly, then --

courtney: Absolutely. Anything.

Carly: Help me find that damn baby mobile that i lost here yesterday.

PH4

[ Sonny and Jason are trying on tuxes]

Sonny: You better hope carly doesn't find out you paid off her fancy tux guy to go away.

Jason: It was either that or elope. Who made up these wedding rules, anyway?

Sonny: That would be emily post, I think.

Jason: Well, you know what? I don't even want to know about her. She's doing all the stuff i hate.

Sonny: You got to hang in there, jason. You know why?

[Jason sighs]

sonny: It's all going to be worth it in the end. I mean, I know. I'm a marriage expert -- three times to the same lady. And I'd do it again in a second just to see the look in carly's eyes. Women love getting married. You'll see. Miami -- they're going to be sending another message.

Jason: Wait, we'll -- we'll talk about that when we're finished.

Man: Da la vuelta, por favor.

Sonny: Yes.

Man: Mantiene tu brazo

derecho levantado.

Sonny: No, I know what I'm doing.

Jason: He only speaks spanish?

Sonny: Yeah, not a word of english. And even if he understood, you know, he owes me his immigration status, not to mention his life.

Jason: All right.

Sonny: Ready?

Jason: I got here a few ideas about how miami might come after you next.

Sonny: So do I, so --

max: You can't go in there.

Janine: The last guy couldn't stop me.

Max: No one gets in without an appointment.

Janine: I'm family. I don't need an appointment.

Sonny: What's going on? What do you want?

Janine: Well. I hope you've got a prom coming up because there's no way in hell I'm letting courtney marry you.

Janine: This isn't personal, jason. In fact, i thought you looked pretty yummy in that tuxedo, as a matter of fact. It's just that looks don't count for much. You can't pay the mortgage with them. You can't eat them for dinner. Huh. You need cold, hard cash for that. And you had it, tons of it! How in the hell could you give up a quartermaine inheritance to come work for this glorified thug?

Jason: Was that a question?

Janine: Hell, yes, that was a question, and I expect an answer if you want to marry my daughter. Look, I am completely justified in being concerned here because, from what I can tell, you -- you're, like, clinically weird. And you, sonny, get that look off your face. I'm talking to you. I know exactly what you're up to here. You ordered your soldier to marry my daughter so that you could tighten your hold on both of them. Now, with this guy i've got nothing vested, but you know -- you damn well know how invested i am in my baby girl. She is just so trusting, she doesn't know you're setting her up. But I do, and I'm going to tell her.

Jason: Look, nobody's being set up or forced to do anything they don't want to do.

Janine: You say you love my daughter? Well, then, you prove it. You walk away from sonny right now and you go back to your life as a quartermaine.

The Quartermaine Mansion

Skye: Why should i just sit back and let you pull one over on courtney yet again?

A.J.: Just trying to help.

Skye: Oh, please. You're plying that moneygrubbing mother of hers with cash and booze to ruin courtney's happiness.

A.J.: Well, excuse me. I mean, who is this -- this self-righteous goody two-shoes, and what the hell have you done with my self-serving skye? Oh, wait a minute. You're working on a little extortion here, huh? How much you want?

Skye: Gee, i think i'm offended.

A.J.: You'll get over it.

Skye: You are looking at the new, improved skye, the one who channels her efforts into worthy goals.

A.J.: Right.

Skye: Although, sometimes achieving those goals might take a special kind of help that only a certain kind of person can provide.

A.J.: Pretty convoluted way of saying you want something. Why didn't you just ask?

Skye: I did, in blackmail -- the only language you understand.

PH4

Jason: I'm not interested in being a quartermaine. Neither is courtney.

Janine: You sound like you think you know my daughter pretty well.

Jason: That's right.

Janine: You know what you're missing here? The impact that a mother's opinion can have on her child. But I'm not really that surprised because the concept of family doesn't seem to mean much to you. Could you try to get a clue here, jason? Raising a kid alone is not easy, but one of the payoffs is the power that you have over how that kid turns out. I'm talking choices -- good, bad, right, wrong. Are you keeping up with me here?

Jason: Let me ask you a question. Are you happy with the choices you made when you raised courtney?

Janine: You're not good enough for my daughter, are you? And you're going to marry her over my dead body.

Sonny: Janine, do you ever stop yapping? Because there's only one reason why you would poke your nose where it doesn't belong. So what I'm going to do, [Courtney and Carly walk in] I'm going to offer you $500,000 to shut your mouth and leave jason and courtney alone. $500,000 -- do you know what that is?

Janine: Is that what you want, baby? Do you want your mama to leave you alone?

Janine: Oh, honey, i am so glad you walked in when you did. You got to hear for yourself what a cold-blooded, evil pig your brother is, trying to pay me off to abandon my daughter.

Carly: Courtney, don't even take this at face value.

Courtney: I won't, i won't. I've learned when it comes to my mother that there's always another side. So, what's going on, guys?

Sonny: Well, janine doesn't think jason's good enough for you. I know better. I want you happy. I just offered her a couple pennies, you know, so she could --

jason: Yeah, you know, janine wants me to go back to the quartermaines, doesn't want us to get married.

Janine: Ok, I just ask an innocent question, and your fiance here rips into me like some kind of rabid dog.

Courtney: Why are you always making trouble for me?

Janine: Hey, i'm trying to look out for you.

Courtney: That's not what i need. A little support would be nice.

Janine: Ok, honey, i -- look, I understand about sexual attraction, and he is -- he's a babe. But why do you have to marry him?

Courtney: Because I love him, mom. And I love you, too, and i want you to be at our wedding, but don't make me choose, ok?

[Phone rings]

jason: Yeah. All right, all right. No, no, no, we'll be right there.

Sonny: What?

Jason: We got to go.

Janine: Hey -- wait -- what -- we're in -- we're having a family discussion here.

Sonny: Janine, shut up.

Janine: What kind of -- is this making some kind of statement that your gangster business is more important than the love that you profess to my daughter?

Jason: We're getting married no matter what she thinks.

Carly: Ok, where the hell do you get off? You don't even know jason at all. He is kind. He is brave. He is loyal. Janine, don't worry. He's got more money than he'll ever be able to spend.

Janine: Yeah, well, if you like him so much, why don't you marry him?

Carly: Oh --

[phone rings]

carly: What?

Elizabeth: Hey, carly, it's elizabeth.

Carly: It's not a good time.

Elizabeth: I'm at kelly's right now and I need to see you. It's important. Thanks.

Warehouse

Sonny: I want to look at the shipment.

Jason: Open that one up.

[Sonny finds drugs in the shipment]

Sonny: How much did our friend in miami ante up to buy my accountant? And don't even think about lying, greg.

Greg: $1 million. Plus he'd let me walk away with my life.

Sonny: You disappoint me, greg. And you do benny a great disservice.

Greg: If you'd let me explain --

sonny: I don't want you to explain!

Sonny: There's only one thing you can do to save yourself.

Greg: Anything.

Sonny: The supplier in miami -- what's his name?

PH4

Courtney: Why can't you understand that I love jason? I mean, he makes me happier than i have ever been in my life.

Janine: For now, honey, but he's not what you need for the long haul.

Courtney: How do you know what i need? When did you learn, mom? When you were at home, i was at school. When i got home, you went to work.

Janine: Ok, I admit that i wasn't the kind of mother that i wanted to be, but I was forced to work nights. Ok, maybe that's not completely true. I chose to because the other option was going on welfare. Maybe I should've done that.

Courtney: I am not blaming you, mom.

Janine: Yes, you are. And now you're punishing me by repeating my mistakes.

Courtney: Ugh, that's ridiculous!

Janine: No, it's not! The reason that I worked nights and left my little girl alone at home was because I got knocked up by a gambler, and now you're marrying one.

Courtney: Jason is not a gambler.

Janine: Oh, yes, he is, and he's just like mike. The only difference is that mike was small time and jason is high stakes. Baby, I wish you would listen to me. Because one way or another, jason -- he's going to break your heart.

Courtney: Then i guess my heart is a lot stronger than you seem to think.

Warehouse

Jason: We're no closer to getting a name in miami than we were before we busted greg.

Sonny: Yeah, we can still send a message.

Jason: Yeah, we can start by dumping these drugs in the harbor, make it too expensive for them to try again.

Sonny: We can force him to show his face. Hold on to the drugs, see if he makes contact.

Jason: It's too risky.

Sonny: Yeah, but it's necessary. I'm not -- you know, how am i going to fight if I don't know who the enemy is?
