Skye: [to Jax] Oh, excuse me for a second. Hey, brother. Thanks for coming. I know it hasn't been an easy day.
AJ: Mm-hmm. So I take it all is well between you two?
Skye: Yes. But that is not the surprise. I am sworn to secrecy until everyone arrives, but since you are my staunchest supporter, I'll let you in on something.
AJ: Mm-hmm?
Skye: I am on cloud nine. And nothing, not even Grandfather, could knock me off.
[Edward arrives and badgers AJ and Courtney]
Ned: [to Jax] Alexis isn't inside. Did I miss anything?
Jax: Just the usual, Edward dispensing words of kindness toward his near and dear.
Courtney: Stop badgering AJ for doing the right thing. You just hate that he's too strong to listen to you anymore. You know, the old AJ would have been on the phone the second he found out about Sonny's death, trying to take advantage of this tragedy to go after Michael.
Edward: Sure, that was the bold, effective thing to do.
Courtney: AJ thinks differently now.
AJ: [to Courtney] Don't do this, ok?
Courtney: I guess it just took getting away from his grandfather's manipulations to make AJ a better human being. Maybe the time and the distance allowed him to realize that there is a lot more to life than playing people against each other to get what you want.
Edward: You say all this as if it were a bad thing.
Ned: I think we're getting off point here. Didn't Skye call this gathering?
Skye: I did. I have an announcement to make, but I'd like to wait until everyone's here and seated.
Monica: Alan is not going to be here. He's in Arizona trying to block a consortium from taking over General Hospital.
Edward: Oh.
Jax: Edward, perhaps you could use your influence to get us a table.
Monica: Let me do that. With Edward's influence, we may be eating leftovers in the alley.
Edward: Well, now, there's no reason to say that.
 Jax: Listen, since we seem to be on hold for a little bit, I've got to go outside and check something. I'll be right back.
Skye: Ok.

[in their limo stuck in traffic outside the Grille]
Brenda: You know, I find it really interesting that you can be so cold and detached about Sonny's death.
Jason: He told me to take care of you. You don't have to like it.
Brenda: Well, I'm not going back to the safe house.
Jason: I'm not giving you the choice, and you're going to stay there...
Brenda: Well, I'm just warning you right now that I'm not a good prisoner.
Jason: You call it whatever you like, but you're not leaving.
Brenda: Jax. There's Jax. Look. Look, right there.
[Skye comes outside]
Skye: Hey! I got worried.
Jax: Well, when a man waits this long to marry the woman of his dreams, he doesn't just pick the first rose in the bunch.
Skye: Oh.
Brenda: Jax!
Jason: Brenda! Brenda!
Brenda: Jax!
Jason: Max, get us out of here!
Brenda: Let go of me!
Jason: Brenda!

Brenda: Jax!
Jason: Just...
Skye: Is something wrong?
Jax: I don't know. I just, I thought I heard someone yell my name.
Skye: Hmm.
[they go back inside]
-------------------------------------------
Edward: Well, they wouldn't make Lila wait.
Monica: You're not Lila. Unfortunately, there is a private party on the terrace, and the dining room seems to be overbooked. They're having a little problem getting a table for a party as big as ours.
Ned: Well, then, maybe we should just move this soiree to a different restaurant.
Edward: I say to hell with dinner. Why doesn't Skye just say what she has to say and get it over with?
