Gemma[about Chibs' wife Fiona Larkin] There have been three women I'm afraid of: my mother, my third-grade math teacher, and that Irish bitch.
Gemma[to Jax] I loved your dad. More than... more than I've loved any man. Great lay. Smart. Big heart. And very complicated. Sound familiar? His complications killed him.
Gemma[to Tara about John Teller] I loved him. Like you and Jax. I was 19. He was my goddamn world.
GemmaClay Morrow killed your father, stole that seat away from this family, gunned down your father's best friend and he tried to kill your wife. He's a murderous traitor and there's only one thing to do now, Jackson... for your father, your family and your club. It's in you. It's who you are. Clay has to die. Read 'em. See 'em in your father's own hand and then you kill him, Jax. You kill Clay before he's on his feet and strikes first. And when it's done? You take your place at the head of this table where a Teller belongs. Where you belong.
GemmaYou're lucky you're pregnant.
[Tara screams, hitting her stomach on the corner of her desk; faking a miscarriage]
Gemma Teller MorrowI've done so many bad things in my life. Caused so much pain. I didn't want that. But after a while, it was...it was just what I did. Then who I was. I loved my family. My boys. But I know that wasn't enough.
Gemma Teller MorrowI love you, Jackson. From the deepest, purest part of my heart. You have to do this. It's who we are, sweetheart. [Fighting the tears, Jax aims the gun at Gemma] It's okay. My baby boy. It's time. I'm ready.
Gemma[about Abel] You gotta go see him, Jax.
I can't.
Gemma TellerWhy? Cause he'll break your heart? It's called being a father.
For how long? A day? A week?
Gemma TellerYou know, you were born with that same heart defect your little brother had. [She lightly punches his chest] You seem pretty sturdy to me. I came through hell, landed on my feet. Your father was hit by a goddamn semi, dragged 178 yards. And that bastard lived for two more days. Tellers do not die easy.
No, we just die bloody.
Gemma TellerThat's the Irish in us.
Gemma TellerLooks like the boy might actually see his first birthday.
He made it? Oh, Abel, thank God!
Gemma TellerYes. Thank you, God. Maybe we should say a little prayer?
Okay. That'd be good.
Gemma TellerDear God, thank you for saving this boy... from his murderous junkie mom, who cared more about a $40 rush than she did her own flesh and blood.
Don't you dare...
Gemma TellerDon't I dare? You pathetic whore. Guess the D.A. was impressed with your Bible studies. Hear they're not gonna press charges.
When I check out of here, I'm going to Promises.
Gemma TellerLet's just throw money at those 12-step freaks. How long's it gonna last this time? Six months? Three? Couple of weeks?
It's gonna be different this time. This time I have my baby to live for.
Gemma TellerThat's where you're wrong. You have no baby. You lost that privilege. [Grabs Wendy by the throat] You so much as cast a shadow on that kid, try to turn some legal screw and get custody, I will finish this job. He will never call you "mommy". [Releases Wendy, and throws a Bible on her table] I suggest you turn to Jesus. [Gemma exits]
[Wendy opens the Bible, to find a needle filled with crank inside]
Gemma Teller MorrowLet's go into the photo booth. Come on; let me give you a quick hand job.
I already got a picture of that.
Gemma Teller MorrowThis time it'll be my hand.
[picks Gemma up over shoulder] Ooo baby, you bad. Bad girl.
GemmaJax is in a real strange place. He doesn't need any outside voices in his head. Stay clear of him.
We're not 19 years old anymore. You can't dictate what he does, who he sees-
GemmaI'm his mother, and until I am dead and cold, I am going to do anything I have to do to protect him.
GemmaI love you.
That love's gonna kill me.
[as Gemma is led into the police station] What the hell did you do?
GemmaSame thing you did. Nailed some little tart from Nevada.
Like I don't have enough shit oozing out of my ears. You gotta go and do this.
GemmaYou should've thought of that before your dick went on a cheerleader hunt.
Hey! I didn't tell her to come here.
GemmaBut she's here!
Well, it's not my fault!
GemmaAnd it's not my pussy!
And that's why I'm single.
Gemma[about Clay] You so much as flash a pretty grin at him-I will jam my fist so far up your bony ass, your cup size will double.
Is that how your rack got to be that size?
GemmaWhat'd you tell Jax about the bodies?
Some of the truth.
GemmaAnd Lowell?
A little more.
GemmaThe rest stays buried.
Yeah. And rest in peace.
