No screen-caps from this day, just the transcript.

[on the docks]
Sonny: So what's the story, Jax? I want to hear the whole truth, nothing but the truth.
Jax: I don't have to justify myself to you.
Sonny: How did you meet up with Alcazar, huh? You were probably just candy-boying your way through Monte Carlo or wherever it is that you go. Somebody pointed to him and said, "See that man over there at the baccarat table? Bodyguards on either side? He sells tanks, bombs, nuclear devices to terrorists with money to pay," and you just made a beeline, right? So what's the plan? Because I know how much you love getting your hands dirty.
Jax: You don't have any room to criticize, Corinthos. And as for your paranoid ranting, there is some truth to that. Alcazar does plan to take you down. Now, you can make that about how much you hate me, or you can give it a rest and help me take him down.
Sonny: You want me to help you?
Jax: Well, either that or stay out of my way. I don't have time to play another round of king of the mountain with you, Corinthos. Alcazar is on my back, as well.
Sonny: Did he contaminate your warehouse, blow it up with an innocent woman inside? What has Alcazar cost you so far, Jax?
Jax: What I know about?
Sonny: Yeah.
Jax: A fortune in oil drilling rights in Canada.
Sonny: Go ahead.
Jax: Alcazar offered to return the oil site map that he stole from me. In return, I have to leave Port Charles for good.
Sonny: Why does he care where you live?
Jax: I have no idea. Of course I refused, and he said that that would be an unwise choice.
Sonny: He threatened you?
Jax: Nothing so overt, but I got the message.
Sonny: Anything else?
Jax: I don't know, it depends. Are we making small talk here, or are we actually working towards a joint strategy?
Sonny: Well, hey, you know what, I'm still here.
Jax: That's not an answer.
Sonny: Alcazar thinks he has something I want. Do you have any idea what that is?
Jax: No. But I'm sure if we put our heads together we can figure it out. I happen to be fairly observant, and I did see something on the...
Sonny: You mean, you learned something since you let that madwoman drive Brenda over a cliff?
Jax: Yeah, we all know how brilliant you are at protecting women.
Sonny: Well, who have you protected? And why should I throw in with you? You can't even keep track of your own damn oil well. You know what? I'll pass.
Jax: Fine. Have it your way.
[Sonny leaves]

[At the lake house, Jax walks in and is assaulted with memories of Skye. He sees dead flowers left from the engagement party the other night, her dress, and the bracelet his Mom gave her. There's a knock on the door.]
Jax: It's open.
Alexis: Did I come at a bad time?
Jax: Yes, but don't feel you have to leave. It may last a while.
Alexis: I want to talk to you about Skye.
Jax: That's a bad subject. Can we change it?
Alexis: She's in a lot of trouble, Jax. The police are investigating Skye, and Alan has asked me to take this case. I didn't give him an answer yet because my relationship with Ned may constitute a conflict of interest which I may or may not be able to finesse. More importantly, I won't even consider taking this case if it makes you uncomfortable in any way.
Jax: So, what, is Skye really in trouble?
Alexis: Yes, she is.
Jax: You know, Skye lives in a prison of her own making, and it'd be redundant to lock her behind bars. But by all means, take the case. I mean, she needs the best. That would be you.
Alexis: You mind if I pry?
Jax: When has that mattered?
Alexis: That's a good point. You're still in love with her, aren't you?
Jax: Do you mind if we don't get into this right now? Sorry if I sound callous, but I really don't want to think about Skye right now.
