Clay and Jax in “Unfinished Business”

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.
