Jax Teller quotes from Sons of Anarchy

This better not come back to bite me in the ass, Handsome Jack.

Jax Teller

Come on, Charlie, you can trust me.

That's what Custer said to his troops.

Jax Teller

What are you doing, man? Cameras.

Oh, no, I bought this room. They ain't on.

Jax Teller

Then why the hell are we talking in code?

I miss my dogs.

Jax Teller

I'm guessing German shepherds.

Jax Teller

This isn't the way I wanted to do this, Henry. I wanted it to be much slower. Much smarter. But this is gonna have to do.

You're an idiot, Teller. I had nothing to do with what happened with your old lady!

Jax Teller

know, I was the one who advised Nero to tell you to bring a whole army. Now you're gonna watch as my guys rip apart your entire crew. I'm gonna wipe out every trace of you and your organization, Henry. You're done. You're just a dirty Oakland memory. But first, it's you and me.

We don't like mixing race with business.

Jax Teller

Who you kidding, Tully? You don't give a shit about race. The only color you see is green.

It's my job to maintain the brand.

Chibs Telford

[after Jax kills Greensleeves] That... was a very sloppy suicide.

Jax Teller

Yeah? It worked. He's dead.

Chibs Telford

Aye. What about his junk mate?

Jax Teller

Ah, she ain't gonna remember shit.

Chibs Telford

Shalom.

You had the chance to be something good for this club. Something your old man always wanted. But you turned into everything he hated. You became the poison, the reason he checked out.

Jax Teller

Checked out of what?

I was the only one JT trusted at the end.

Jax Teller

You weren't even a member of the club back then.

That's why. I knew the life, but I didn't wear his patch. I was just a friend. A safe ear.

Jax Teller

So what did he tell you?

John couldn't live with what the club had become. But he also couldn't bring himself to take it down.

Jax Teller

Take it down how?

He wrote some kind of book. I never read it. But whatever was in it, if it would have gotten out, would've destroyed the Sons and tore apart his family. What do you think happened to your old man that day? Out on 580?

Jax Teller

Clay sabotaged his bike.

Yeah, we heard those rumors. But there was one thing that didn't hook up for me. That panhead was an extension of John. He would've known if anything was wrong with it the second he kicked it over.

Jax Teller

Meaning what? You think my old man ran into that semi on purpose?

I don't know. Maybe it was his sacrifice. A way of letting his club and family survive.

Jax Teller

My old man didn't kill himself.

It doesn't matter. As long as he ain't here to see what SAMCRO did to you.

August Marks

Things have turned so quickly, Jackson. Deeply disappointed.

Jax Teller

I can see that.

August Marks

We had everything to gain.

Jax Teller

Not me. I'd already lost too much.

August Marks

Broke the first rule of business: Letting personal feelings poison your choices.

Jax Teller

That's what happens when your wife gets brutally murdered in your own home.

August Marks

You should've come to me about Lin.

Jax Teller

You know I couldn't do that. You would've told me to wait. And then watched me like a hawk. I had no choice.

August Marks

You didn't want another choice.

Jax Teller

You don't have family, August. You can never understand. I'm sorry you feel betrayed. This had to happen.

August Marks

Look where we are, Jax. Is this what you wanted? Piles of bodies. Relationships destroyed. And the guy you were going after is still alive.

Jax Teller

I'm not done yet.

Is Wendy my first mommy 'cause I came out of her tummy?

Jax Teller

Yeah. That's right.

So, is that why Grandma killed my other mommy? So my first mommy could be here with me?

Wayne Unser

What happens now, son?

Jax Teller

This is between me and my mom.

Wayne Unser

Haven't we had enough of this? Look where we are, Jax. What we've all become. This has to end. Here.

Jax Teller

I know. I know. Go home, Wayne.

Wayne Unser

I can't do that. This is all I got left.

Nero Padilla

What am I gonna tell Wendy?

Jax Teller

Everything. When the time comes she needs to tell my sons who I really am. I'm not a good man. I'm a criminal and a killer. I need my sons to grow up hating the thought of me.

Tyne Patterson

What happens when the street finds out it all went down because of a lie?

Jax Teller

Everyone it could impact is now either informed or has moved on.

Tyne Patterson

What the hell does that mean?

Jax

It means by the end of the day, the violence in Oakland and Stockton will be over.

Tyne Patterson

Why the end of the day?

Jax Teller

You've been very fair with me. I wanted you to have the truth.

Tyne Patterson

Jackson. What happens at the end of the day?

Jax Teller

The bad guys lose.
