Jax Teller quotes from Sons of Anarchy

Clay

You and I both love Opie. I don't want to believe this shit either. But we gotta prepare ourselves for a truth we may not like.

Jax

He'd never sell out the club.

Clay

And what if he did?

Jax

Then I'll kill him myself.

Jax

Is something wrong?

Tara

With Abel leaving, I realized it's not just you. You have a son. We need to think about what we're doing.

Jax

You really want to talk about this, huh? Cause the one upside of Wendy, she was usually too wasted for relationship chats.

Tara

Well, I'm painfully sober.

Tara

Nothing is okay. Like, the last few weeks, I tried to follow your lead. You know, find some kind of compartment to put all this stuff in. But I just can't. I don't sleep. I'm more scared now than I ever was. I'm scared of getting caught. I'm scared of not getting caught. We got away with murder. What does that make me?

Jax

A survivor.

Tara

I think you're a good man with a big heart. I believe you try to do as much good as you can, but you live a life I don't think I'll ever really understand.

Jax

Don't you get tired of it? Running

Tara

I'm not running. I'm just being realistic, Jax.

Jax

Call it whatever you want. Your life is a series of hit-and-runs. The minute someone makes you feel uncomfortable, tests your loyalty, little Tara packs her bags and hits the road. Well, I guess you got what you wanted from me, right? Used me to do your dirty work.

Tara

That's not fair.

Jax

Not fair? You wanna know how many women I've slept with over the last 10 years?

Tara

Don't do this…

Jax

Hundreds! Maybe more, I don't know. I barely see their faces. I married Wendy because I was lonely. Because I got tired of the endless disconnect. It was just a sad time-out. Because when I'm inside someone, there's only one face I see. When you came home, it was like some kind of sign to me. Like my past coming around to give me another shot to do this different; better. And now that chance is running back to Chicago.

Piney

Time for a change.

Jax

Yea.

Jax

Looks like Trammel earned his pay.

Clay

You got something you need to say?

Jax

We both know this is bullshit. The only reason I don't set fire to it is because I love Opie and the truth would kill him.

Clay

We all love Opie. He needs this and we're going to give it to him.

Jax

Whoever you put this murder on just make sure they deserve to die because the guy that killed Donna is out there sharing a beer with her husband.

Clay

You better be real careful how you navigate around this one.

Jax

Or what? You gonna put a bullet in the back of my head too?

Tara

You know why I run away from shit all the time? Cause I don't trust anyone. If I'm gonna stay, I need to know the truth.

Jax

I tell you the truth.

Tara

Not just what you think I can handle. I need all of it. It's the only way I'll know if I can do this.

Jax

Something wrong?

Clay

They found that Mayan we visited. He was throwing up nine fingers. Brown's a little pissed at black.

Jax

I made a decision for the good of the club.

Clay

You settle that shit on your own?

Jax

Yeah. Spur-of-the-moment seemed like the right thing. I'm sure you can understand.

Clay

That little judgment call you made for the good of the club? It came back to bite us in the ass and almost killed Bobby.

Jax

I see that.

Clay

Whatever you may think, the truth is everything I do is to protect what we got. It's never arbitrary. And it's never reactive. Been doing this for 30 years, I know a few things.

Jax

Taking that tag off the Mayan was the right decision. You know that.

Clay

You wanna challenge me? Fine, I don't give a shit. But the minute it stops being about this club and it starts becoming personal they'll know that. They'll lose respect for you and they won't trust you anymore. And then you'll be handling everything on your own. Think about that…son.

Jax

The Jungle

Tara

Know it?

Jax

Almost turned me vegan.

Tara

This is really twisted but im actually craving a big steak.

Jax

I got a Porterhouse right here for you, baby.

Tara

You’re a class act, Teller

Jax

Give me a kiss.

Tara

Here?

Jax

Just us carnivores.

Bobby

You and Clay, the guys are worried.

Jax

Ah, nothing to worry about.

Bobby

Convince me.

Clay

Where does this go, tomorrow? Next week?

Jax

Where's what go?

Clay

Your need to undermine my every play.

Jax

I got no need to undermine you. Things I call out are about the club.

Clay

Nah, about you and me.

Jax

Yeah. Maybe they are. Guess I gotta get right with you-what you did.

Clay

Yeah. You do.

Jax

Well, you got decades of experience. Why don't you tell me how I do that? How I get right with you tryin' to kill a brother behind the club's back and your little trigger boy blowin' an innocent woman's head off?

Clay

Well, you're gonna have to figure that out for yourself son. But I'd do it soon. Cause if you mention Donna or the incident again, I'll kill ya.

Jax

Look, man. I think it's all good you getting deeper into the club. But you're obviously still dealing with some stuff. Donna's death got to be a nightmare.

Opie

How do you know what I'm dealing with? You got to figure out your own stuff, brother.

Jax

I know what I'm doing.

Opie

Oh, yeah. You got things you want to change. I get it. This beef with Clay it's not about what's best for SAMCRO. It's about you pushing to be king. It's not your time yet, man. This is Clay's club. You got to back down, get in line before somebody gets hurt.

Jax

My son, he's given me a new pair of glasses. I find myself thinking about the things I do. Things I say, ramifications.

Stahl

You have to.

Jax

Not as angry or reactive.

Stahl

I can see that.

Jax

For instance, you showing me these photos trying to play my rage, my need for revenge, didn't work. See, I was able to take a moment to think. And I realized that if we did have a relationship with the Irish, which of course we don't, what'd stop me from tipping them off? Letting them know you got them under your thumb. You took a huge risk playing that card. Which means you are desperate. You got nothing.

Stahl

Wow, you really are the smart one.

Jax

I arranged a meet at the P.C. infirmary. You gotta distract Dion, unlock the guard gate, and let in Russell's crew.

Juice

How do I get there?

Juice

[groaning] I think you cracked my rib.

Tig

I know, I'm sorry.
