Carly & Jason Quotes

Jason to AJ: If someone's bleeding on the ground, do you help them right away? Or do you first find out if everything they've done in the last few months meets with your approval? That's what it's like for me and Carly. She needs help, and I'm going to give it to her.

Luke: She did tell you everything.
Jason: She knew I'd protect her.
Luke: Will you?
Jason: If I have to.

Carly to Jason: You remember how in the beginning we didn't want to know anything about each other? I don't ever want to do that again. What I want most is for someone to really know me.

Carly to Jason: Nobody ever tried to see me, ever. Until I met this one guy... He was this stranger guy, you know? And he lived in a place that was a lot like this... And the first time I met him, and I slept with him... He didn't even ask my name. I'll tell you something. I think I knew, even then, that he would be the only person that ever knew me.

Carly to Jason: I couldn't figure you out. I still can't. But you were just this guy who... said what you meant and did what you wanted.

AJ: Alright, look. I know that you and Carly are friends. I don't have a problem with that. But believe me, Jason. You don't know her like I do.
Jason: You're right. I know her better than you do.

Carly to Sonny: Hey, you know what? He knows how screwed up I am. I don't have to pretend I'm something better than that for him. Lucky me... But, you know. The thing is, he accepts me. Just like he accepts you.

Carly to Bobbie: (after Jason's plane crashed) He was the only real friend I ever had, Bobbie. All the things that I did - all the ways that I screwed up, Jason never judged me. Anything I ever needed, he gave me. I didn't have to pretend around him, because he knows that I'm terrible. And... he likes me anyway.

Bobbie: (telling Laura about the keychain) Jason gave her this. She told me about it once. She wanted to give him a Christmas present. And she didn't know what to get him, cuz - he doesn't need anything. She got him a keychain, with his name on it. And then, about a year later, when she showed up on his doorstep, pregnant, with Michael, he gave her a key to his penthouse on a keychain, with her name on it. Her real name. Caroline. She said that Jason gave her the first place she ever truly belonged. The first place she ever felt really safe. And she saved that keychain, to remind her. She said it was the most precious thing she'd ever been given.

Carly to Edward: (showing him the 'Caroline' keychain) That's a key to this Penthouse. Jason gave that to me for Christmas last year. It's the most valuable thing that I own. See, it says right here, it says 'Caroline'? That's because he knew, even way back then, who I really was. And he never told anyone. I showed up on his doorstep, pregnant, with a baby that I had been passing off as another man's for months. I blew a hole through the middle of his life. But he never once hesitated to help me, or do what I needed. Do you understand that Jason is the kind of person that people dream their whole lives of having, a friend like him? Of having somebody like him be the father of their child? Michael and I are incredibly lucky. Nothing you can ever say can make me doubt Jason. So if that's why you came here, you should leave.

Hannah: It's just that Sonny has a way of confusing me. Have you ever known anyone like that? You're sure they're dangerous. You can see clearly they're gonna tie you in knots. Make you do things you never intended. But when you're with them, you wanna stay. They matter too much to leave.
Jason: (raises his eyebrows with a tiny smile) It sucks.
Hannah: (smiles) Not always.
Jason: (sighs) No, not always.

Carly: You ever get confused, Jase?
Jason: Yeah, you know, I met this girl. She blackmailed me...
Carly: Hmm.
Jason: And then she asked for my help. And when I decided to give it to her, she did everything she possibly could to get rid of my girlfriend.
Carly: (mock horror) No!
Jason: And then most recently she went behind my back, told the cops that I was a kidnapper and that I abused her.
Carly: Oh my god... But I bet you never hated her for any of it did you?
Jason: (shakes his head) No.
Carly: Never?
Jason: You really want me to think about this?

Jason: You got a good mom, Michael. But she-
Michael: Dad.
Jason: Yeah. She does not think like other people. Now, look. When you- When you learn to cross the street, you're going to do it like I do.
Michael: Ba-ba.
Jason: Ba-ba, yes. You're going to do it like I do. You're going to start at one curb, and you're going to walk to the other. Now, see, your mom would rather climb a tree, set it on fire, and hope the firemen would come and carry her across. That's what she calls a plan.

Jason to Carly: Seriously, I- I do not understand why you have to find the hardest way to do things. (pause) But you're willing to fight. And that means something.

Carly: I'd do anything to be with you.

Carly: You know I had about a half a life before I met you? I was never not trying to work the situation. Trying to scam somebody about something. You know? I don't know. There might have been a real me, but it never really came out until I met you. And you had this x-ray vision type of thing and you just saw right through me. And you saw mean, miserable, ugly, horrible Carly. And you didn't care. I don't have to fake it with you, Jason. I can just be Carly.

Carly: No, Jason. You're not listening to me!
Jason: No, Carly. You're not listening to me! Okay? You can stay here, and keep catching the world off gaurd. But Michael and I do not have to.
Carly: Oh, wow. Yeah, I'm sure that's what Sonny thought you should do. Hmm? Keep my son and not come back? Because I was two-timing trash and not worth your time? You know, I knew that I was taking the gamble of a life time when I knocked on that Quartermaine door. Everybody else was gonna think I was selling out my own son for a set of monogrammed sheets, but not you. Not you. Cuz you know me, Jason. You know me, and you know that I love my son. And that is why, you are not gonna take him away from me. Even though... Things are sure to get worse before they get better.
Jason: Worse? How?
Carly: Only for a little while...
Jason: Carly, how can things get worse?
Carly: Before you and Michael and I can be together, I think I'm gonna have to marry AJ.

Jason: Carly fights for what matters to her. And she doesn't always pick the best way to do it. But she loves Michael.

Jason to Dr. Smithson: It means that Michael's a person. He doesn't belong to me. He doesn't belong to AJ. Or even Carly. He kinda belongs to himself. And until he's old enough to make his own decisions, I have to give - I have to give him everything that he needs. I have to take care of him, I have to protect him. I have to explain what he doesn't understand. And tell him that I don't understand it sometimes myself. I have to love this kid, I have to protect him so that he knows that he can count on me, all the time. That I'm never gonna leave him - ever. Right? (Jason gives Michael a kiss on the cheek.)

Carly: Thank you. (laughs) You must think I'm totally crazy.
Jason: (smiles) You never get away with anything! But you always try and I have to admire that. Most people would give up, but you never do.

Carly: Why are you doing this for me?
Jason: You asked. Besides, it hasn't cost me much yet.
Carly: (laughs) I can't think of a single thing that I've done for you.
Jason: Well I can.

Jason: Where the hell did you get off treating her like that? Carly has a right to come here without being called names or anyone putting their hands on her.
Sonny: I don't want her in my building. I don't want to see her.
Jason: You run this business. You don't run the world. Carly's gonna be where she's gonna be.

Carly: You need to do what you need to do, now, in this minute. The best thing for now, this very second - and move forward. You can't look back. That's it, bottom line.

Jason: I know that about you. When it counts, when it's for keeps, you stand up. And I owe you.
Carly: You owe me? How much do I owe you? Hmm? If we added it up, think we'd ever be even? No. There's no payback here. You just do what you can for people who matter.
Jason: I should have been here, Carly, and I wasn't. You were. I understand what that was like. How scared you must have been. You were really brave.
(he smoothes her hair back from her face, and she leans into his hand.)
Carly: Thanks.

Carly: But - I am right about this. I just know how good you are for me. And I'll tell ya something, that you're not gonna believe? I'm really good for you too.

Carly: A lot of people said I was bad for you. But we showed them, didn't we?

Carly: I've never been anyplace...That romantic, you know? So if every sunset and every beach made me think of Jason - so what? It didn't hurt anybody. I was the only person who knew.

Carly: I told you, that every- Every single sunset, every walk on every beach, every moment that was beautiful - I ached- I ached for Jason.

Carly: And that should be enough, shouldn't it? I mean, if my child is happy, then I should just let go of the things that I can't have? How it feels to play pool and slow dance to the juke box... Or watch somebody come out of the water, holding my baby and know that I gave him... the best...

Jason: Michael loves the ocean. You know, the first time he went- The first time I took him in the water was in Florida. After Carly's other mother, Virginia, died. We went down there to close down the house. There wasn't really much that Carly wanted and just being there made her sad. So we went to the ocean. Oh, man. Michael was really little. But Carly let me take him in the water. That kid was not afraid, Sonny. He was laughing the whole time. You know, he loved that feeling of half-floating with my hands around him... We got out of the water and Carly was there waiting for us. She wrapped Michael in a towel, dried him off... And we just sat there. And watched him fall asleep. That's what Carly was trying to get back, you know? The three of us, together. Wow, it hurts to lose it.

Carly: We just never had anything like that, you know? We never had vacations, and moonlight, romantic dinners, walks on the- We never had the- The enjoyable things, you know? The easy ones. Only the hard stuff. It just doesn't seem fair.

Jason to Bobbie: I finally figured out that Carly's not gonna go away. Which is okay, you know. For- For all the trouble that she's given me, I think she's really helped me. So it kinda evens out in the end.

Carly: You really need somebody to warn you to stay away from me?
Jason: Definitely.
Carly: Shut up!
Jason: Although it's not doing me much good here.

Carly: I can't believe you remembered all that. I never think you're listening to me.
Jason: How can I help it? You won't go away.

Carly: I wouldn't let anybody know who I really was except you - how I feel. I mean, I trust you.

Carly: That's all the emotion you can muster up? You like me?
Jason: Listen. Listen to me. I like having you around. I like seeing you every day. I even like having your- your junk all over the house.
Carly: You like having Michael here and I come with the package, so you tolerate me.
Jason: No. No, I don't- Look, before you and Michael came, I slept on a couch. I ate standing over a sink. I even showered in the guest bathroom so I wouldn't mess anything up in the big one upstairs. You and Michael brought life into this house. You turned it into a home. You made my life better.

Jason to Carly: You know, when you showed up that night, it was raining. You were so scared. You needed me. You asked me to take care of Michael, and that's... That's when my life started. A life I thought I could never have, more than anything I could ever imagine. (pause) It was all because of you. It's true, Carly, you are a lot of trouble. (she laughs) You make things more complicated than they are, but... You showed me new things. You gave me a year and a half that no one can take away. Nothing will change that.

Jason: And then there's what I feel... Which is that Michael needs me. And he's afraid, and I have to get over there and tell him that it's going to be okay. And... This feeling is like... It's like a chain, around me... And it's pulling me stronger than anything I've ever felt.

Jason: When you have a kid... And you love him, it doesn't... Stop. Even if he's not with you. Even if he... (sighs heavily) forgets you.

Jason to Sonny: You know, when Carly showed up, yeah, she brought all of her problems. But she brought me a life.

Jason: Who... I wasn't even supposed to know her name. The only place we were supposed to know each other was in bed.
Maria: Then what happened?
Jason: She changed my life. She fought with me. She fought for me. Spent my money. Threatened to paint everything in the house. She was crazy. And I left. But she loved me.
Maria: And you miss her.
Jason: And I miss her.

Jason: I can't do it, Carly. I can't turn around and wonder if you're gonna be there. Here, at the warehouse... With no warning...
Carly: Aren't you ever glad to see me?
Jason: Yeah. But then I have to let you go again. Till you show up the next time. And I have to let you go all over again. I can't do it. I can't.

Carly to Jason: I love you, and- I know you hate it when I say that... I know it doesn't mean the same to you as it does to me. But I know that... I know that you love me too. And I'll always love you.

Jason: But now I know she was reaching out to me all along. And I wouldn't- I wouldn't see it. I didn't want to. Now it's too late, Sonny, and... And I can see. All the times I coulda turned around and- and taken her hand, said her name...

Jason: Look, Bobbie got hurt here. I didn't.
Carly: But you have been. A lot. By me, more than anyone. And it never matters. I mean, you always... You always keep my secrets. And it makes me feel sort of... Valuable. To you.
Jason: Valuable? You need me to say that you're valuable? Because you know you are.

Jason: I know. I know that I can count on you. Even though you drive me crazy.
Carly: I don't mean to drive you crazy.
Jason: Yes you do.

Carly: No, Jason. I love you. You know? I'm in love with you. I always have been. And I... I know that you love me too. And you don't say, but I see it. The way you look at me... The way you smile at me even when I'm driving you crazy. Let me come home. Please, Jase. I wanna come home.

Bobbie: If you love Carly, tell her. I'm not going to pretend to know your heart. But I know Carly. And I love her. Ask yourself if you want a life with her. And if you do, tell her.
Jason: I'm not really good at imagining things... But I can't imagine my life without Carly in it.
Bobbie: Well, then. No matter how hard it is, the two of you should find a way to be together.

(Scene - after Sonny OD'd and Jason showed up at Carly's... "Now it's your turn. I need a friend." He vented his frustration at her and she calmed him down.)
Jason: I was, uh, I was pretty wrecked when I showed up here. If you hadn't talked me down, I probably would have done something stupid.
Carly: I don't think so... You know what, though? I'm really glad that you came. This is gonna sound stupid, but... I like you, Jason. I mean, you're the best friend I've had in a long time.
Jason: I like you too. Now that I don't have to sleep with you.
Carly: Oh! You pig! You should be so lucky!
(They commence throwing marshmallows at each other - Well. Carly throws marshmallows at him and he ducks, and the bag rips. It's the cutest thing ever.)

Carly: Because some things are too important to lie about. And that's probably why you don't like to do it.
Jason: That's right.

(Ferncliffe - After Jason lied to Dr. Evans to cover Carly's butt when she freaked out about Robin and Michael)
Jason: Just try not to lose it. His (Dr. Evans) ear's probably pressed against the door right now.
Carly: Why do I do this to myself? Why? I mean, every time I doubt you, you prove me wrong. You lied for me, Jason. I'll never forget it.

Carly: You know, love is not what you say - it's what you do. Anybody can talk a bunch of mush. But it's what you really do that matters. You know, your actions ... I mean, like stretching yourself, you know. Doing something you really hate for the person in your life. That's love. That's real love. That's what I get from Jason.

Jason: I think the part of you that loves... Your soul, I guess... That part never ends. It just goes somewhere. And when people need you, you can hear them. And maybe even help somehow.

Jason: You remember Robin, would tell us about the gaurdian angels? Hmm? Well, I'll be that for you. I'll be looking out for you all the time. But you won't see me.

Carly: If you follow your heart, love will find the way.

Carly: You're the only one that gets me. Why is that? I swear - half of my ideas are crazy, half are not. You're the only person who get the half that are not.

Carly: Cuz I betrayed you. And I just want you to know that I'm gonna regret that for the rest of my life.
Jason: Okay, listen. Listen. You know what? Life, might be a lot easier if you weren't in it, for me. Okay? You're a lot of trouble. You make simple, simple things very complicated. But you have never ever betrayed me. You screwed up, yeah. But betrayal's different.

(Scene - Carly & Jason & AJ on the docks...)
AJ: Jason doesn't give a damn about you, Carly. He wants Michael and he's using you to get him.
Jason: Hey! I gave up Michael. I never agreed to give up Carly. So I'll see her whenever I want, or whenever she wants. And if you don't like it, AJ? Too damn bad.

Jason: They may never need me again. But I should be there just in case.
Maria: Maybe you need her. Did that never occur to you? ... Of course not, she screwed up your life.
Jason: Yeah.
Maria: Well, look at you. Maybe... You need her to screw it up some more.

Jason: Usually, people leave me. I stay, I get mad. I take care of things. This time I did it. I left. Which is good. Otherwise I would never know that leaving doesn't fix anything. It just makes it worse. Because... The people you love may need you, and you're not there.

Carly: You lost a lot. Why did you come back?
Jason: There are people who need me here.
Carly: Sonny?
Jason: Not just him.
Carly: No, not just him. And what about you? Hmm? Do you need anyone?

Jason: But Carly just took me the way I was. And that's how I've always taken her. Yes, she is a liar. She is a manipulator. And every so often she does something to wreck her life. But she is also brave and strong, and she is not afraid to fight. And a couple of times I really needed her, she came through.

Carly: I know that if you hadn't come back... I don't know Jase, you know I just get scared man, and I- I do stupid things.
Jason: Yeah, no kidding.
Carly: But it's always for you. I mean, it's always for us, even now. You- you left to protect Michael, and I married somebody else so I could be with you. Kinda makes sense, doesn't it? And except for Michael, you're the most important person in my life. You're the only one who's never lied to me. You're the only one who doesn't want to change me into something- anything. I can just be myself with you.

Carly: Just- Don't ever say that you don't need my help, that's all.
Jason: Well, I stopped saying that a long time ago.
Carly: Good. (nods emphatically and points at him as she speaks) So I never have to hear it again for the rest of our lives.

Carly: You know what I do? I go down to the docks and I look at your warehouse being rebuilt. And I think - 'You know what? That looks like our future. That looks like all the things that you and me and Michael are gonna have together.' Don't you believe me, when I say, we're gonna be a family, Jase.
Jason: We already are a family. We just couldn't find a way to stay together.
Carly: Well, I have. And we can. And I know.

Carly to Tony: Picture me, newly arrived in this city - to a resounding lack of interest. All alone and looking for something to do. Anything to alleviate the crashing boredom. So I walk into Jake's, shoot some pool... Well the gods sure must have been on my side that night because I laid eyes on about the finest piece work of a man I had ever seen! Jason was all that - and more! Of course, I didn't know his name at the time. And he didn't know mine. But that didn't matter. Jason and I were all about low-down dirty sex. Throw me up against the wall baby! You know what? You should try it sometime. It's a lot more effective than sappy love songs.

Carly: The thing that was really great about your brother, is that he's one of those talented guys that a woman doesn't ever forget.

Carly: Do you think you could stand any closer?
Jason: I don't like games.
Carly: Then let's not play any.
Jason: My room's upstairs.
Carly: Good.
Jason: Let's go.

Jax: (walks up behind Carly, who is playing with a flower) What is that on your finger?
Carly: It's an engagement ring. You're familiar with those, aren't you? (she puts the flower in his jacket pocket, kinda smiling.)
Jax: And your intended victim would be AJ?
Carly: Who else?
Jax: Well, with you it's hard to tell.

Carly: You just wanted to find out about the funeral.
Jason: Yeah, right.
Carly: Or maybe you did come just to look at me.

Jason to Bobbie: The pattern is that I want to hit AJ. He's always accusing me of hating him. I've never felt anything for this guy - ever! But now I do. I can't stand him and Michael knows it.

Luke: Carly is a true-blue Spencer. She'll do whatever it takes to land on her feet.

Carly: No. There- No. There's no way that Jason's not a good person.

Carly to Jason: Feel free to drop me on your bed if you can't make it all the way to mine!

Carly: You know what I was thinking?
Jason: Yes, I do.
Carly: No you don't.
Jason: Yes I do.
Carly: I bet you ten thousand dollars that you don't.
Jason: Alright, come on.
Carly: I was thinking-
Carly & Jason: We should have phones like that!
Carly: Shut up!
Jason: No, forget it.

Carly: What are you implying? That I don't know how to - what? Quit?
Jason: You haven't yet.
Carly: But that's not a problem for you, right?
Jason: Not always.

Carly to Jax: Why don't you get the hell outta here before Jason has you shot!

Jason: After everything you've done, you're upset about some tacky underwear.

Bobbie: I could see by your reaction in court today that this is killing you.
Carly: And it's all (she points to herself) my fault! That's what you wanted to say right?
Bobbie: Carly, I love you. That's what I wanted to say. (B&C hug)

Jason: But nothing Carly does really surprises me. I mean, I wouldn't have done any of the stuff she's done. But I'm real clear on why she did them.
Bobbie: You know, I came here to try and ask you to be patient with Carly because I'm her mother. And I thought I could explain away this stunt she pulled. And instead, you're explaining my daughter to me. I wish I could accept her the way you do, Jason.

Carly: Could I, uh... Get used to servants instead of bodygaurds? Sure, servants are great. Could I get used to Monica and your little bratty sister wanting me dead everytime I walk into the room? You know, hey. If I could get used to Tony Jones, I could probably get used to anything. But you know what? I'm sorry. I really do want what's best for Michael. And that's you.

Carly: Ever wonder why the roses smell so much sweeter at night?
AJ: I don't know.
Carly: Maybe it's because, you know, all day long they've been showing themselves off, and trying to get the attention of butterflys and bees and people... And now it's night time, and it's cool, and nobody's around, so they hike up their skirts and take what they can get.

(Scene - after Jason gave up Mikey, he sees Carly and Michael and AJ at the park)
Mike: Aren't you going to say hello?
Jason: Michael's with her.
Mike: Yeah. That's who I figured you'd want to say hello to.

Carly: As far as I'm concerned Jason, the higher the better.
Jason: You mean that?
Carly: Yeah. Higher, hotter, faster, farther. That's our motto right?

Carly: I made a fool outta myself tonight.
Jason: How? Just by being the daughter of somebody who had the bad luck-
Carly: No... By thinking that I could ever be... On the same ground as someone like Amanda Barrington. She's this great lady, Jase. And she's handing out invitations and smiling at the things that I said. And I'm thinking it's me, you know? 'I'm charming, and I'm special, and I'm...' And you know what she was thinking the whole time? 'My dear old friend Edward's grandson married trash.' Trash. And I don't blame Bobbie for that. I blame myself... For forgetting who I am. Who I've always been, who I will always be.
(Jason shakes his head as if to say, you don't know how wrong you are. He touches her face and tucks her hair behind her ear.)
Jason: Alright, you tell me. Has Amanda Barrington ever fought like a wild animal for her kid? Hmm?
Carly: (smiles) Probably not.
Jason: Did she ever turn the great Dr. Evans at Ferncliffe red and make steam come out of his ears?
Carly: (laughs) Definitely not.
Jason: Okay. Did she ever whack a probable rapist with a tire iron outside of Jakes in the alley?
Carly: (grins and laughs) Did I?
Jason: So you tell me which one is the great lady.

Jason: You remember how to break?
Carly: I remember everything.

Jason: Let's just say I like you. Because I like you. That's it. We're friends.
Carly: Well, what the hell does that mean?
Jason: That the times that I've needed you, you've been there.
Carly: Jason, come on. You don't need me. You've never really needed me.
Jason: Really?
Carly: No.
Jason: You hid me in your room once.
Carly: So?
Jason: And when they OD'd Sonny, I had no place to go. So I went to you. Besides, you're always worried about me getting shot or dead.
Carly: That's true enough.

Carly: Do you remember the day that we were hiding out in my room together?
Jason: Yeah, I do.
Carly: Nothing turned out the way I thought it would.

Carly: Jason is... not like anybody you've ever met. He- He's just a strange bird. He doesn't judge people. And... He listens to everything you have to say. He's like a safe place that I can always go to, if I ever need it.
Lorainne: Soulmates. I love it.

Lorraine: Listen to me. I am not leaving here without my cash. Now I can either get it from you, or I'm gonna get it from AJ.
Carly: Don't you dare.
Lorianne: It's all the same to me Snarly.

Luke: (Looking at a pic of Carly around age 8) That smile! (chuckles)
Virginia: Yes, yes. You know, she had a game- Well, I don't know if it was a game to her, but... She would sit in the back of the car, and she'd smile at whoever was in the next lane. I mean, smile as if her life depended on it. Until they'd smile back. And then if they didn't... 'Mommy, why... Why don't they like me? Why am I so ugly?' Oh. What gets these ideas in a child's head, huh?

Carly to Tony: I'm not sure. I guess, you know... I've always been afraid that if I wasn't nice, and always smiling... No one would want me around. To know me's to not like me.

Bobbie: Look, I know how much money means to you and how taken you are with all of this. But there are other things. When you were in the hospital, giving birth to Michael. You were about as close to death as you have ever been. And you knew it. I think I've told you this before - that's when the truth really comes out. And your truth was about your son. You begged me to take protect him. Not so you could use him as a pawn in a battle. But because you loved him with a mother's love. And as soon as your crisis had passed, you were back to having doubts. One thing I'll say about you, no one underestimates you as much as you do. It's tragic, how incapable you think you are to love. And to be loved. Tragic because it makes you do things like this, honey. Which is to settle.

(Scene - Carly and Jason in the morgue at GH, where Dorman was murdered)
Carly: Okay, we're gonna do this your way. But I'm warning you, Jason. If this doesn't go smooth for you, I am gonna lie through my teeth. I will blame it on someone else. I will do anything. I don't care what you did, I don't care who you work for. I used to say Tony was the best thing that ever happened to me but he didn't want the title. So you're it, like it or not.

Carly: My life goals... Okay, um... I'll tell you, but promise not to laugh. Jason Morgan. Look, there is nobody that is better for me. And there is nobody that is better for him. You know? And when I am just being myself - Jason is the one person on whose nerves I don't get.

Jax: Don't have a heart attack. If Brenda's not up to visitors, I'll leave.
Edward: Don't play disarming with me, Jax. Left to your own devices, you would have dismantled ELQ and thrown this family right out into the streets.
Jax: Oh, come on Edward. That is old news. That's water under the bridge.
Edward: But a Quartermaine never forgets.
Jax: (Glances over at Jason) Well, that's debatable.
Edward: Oh. He isn't a Quartermaine.
Jason: Oh, finally someone figured it out.
Edward: Not another word from you, you... you miscreant! Jax, get out. You are not going to see Brenda today. Alright? Now, I have a matter to discuss with my- with my grandson.
Jax: You just said that he-
Edward: He's a disgrace! (pause) But he's ours. And you aren't. So go.

(Scene - NB 97)
Jason: What are you doing over here?
Carly: Hiding out...
Jason: From who?
Carly: Everyone... Except you. Jason, if I left town would you miss me? Just say you would.
Jason: I would. But you won't, will you?

Jason: Carly does stuff and you can't stop her.
Emily: Is she your friend?
Jason: Yeah.

Jason: Hannah is new in town. It didn't cost me anything to help her.
Carly: She wants you, Jase.
Jason: Oh, you are so paranoid.
Carly: Okay, wait. Look, it is not paranoid, to hate seeing your child's father with another woman. Especially when that other woman has an obvious agenda. See, your problem is, you're not suspicious of strangers. Eh, not female ones any way.
Jason: You know, I have no reason to suspect Hannah. She hasn't asked me for anything. Besides, how could a stranger jerk me around worse than you?
Carly: You really believe that?
Jason: Yeah.
Carly: But you're not holding it against me, right?
Jason: I haven't turned against you yet, have I? I haven't told the Quartermaines about your dumb plan. Besides, I have no intention of sleeping with Hannah. Even if I was interested, I don't need the complication. I don't have time for anyone but Michael.
Carly: Okay. I'm sorry, I over-reacted. I just, you know- I see you with... Someone new, and I remember when I was someone new. And... We didn't have to say anything to each other, you know? Not before and not after.

Carly: When you kiss me I'm just supposed to forget about it?
Jason: A kiss- A kiss is not a promise, Carly. That's- That's not even where we are. You know that.
Carly: Where are we? You live your life, I live mine?
Jason: That's how it's always been.

Carly: You're always calling me a liar. I'm nothing compared to you. I asked you to promise me that you would wait. And do you remember what you said? You said Michael and I were your family. That you were in it for the long haul. And now you're just leaving. You're just walking away from Michael and I like we were nothing. You are the one person in my life that I ever trusted, the one person I ever counted on, Jason. And now you're just leaving - you're just- you're just walking away from Michael and I like we were nothing! That's fine then, you go! (she shoves him) You go and you walk! Because I don't care because you're a liar and I hate you!
Jason: You think this is what I want?

(Scene - After Jason comes back to town after he gave up Michael)
Carly: Were you thinking of staying gone for good?
Jason: My life is here.
Carly: I told you that.
Jason: Yeah, you did. You should- you should go.
Carly: Not until you promise me something. I need you to promise me that you don't hate me and that you don't think I betrayed you. I need you to know that whatever I did - even if it was wrong, Jason. Everything I did was for you. For you, and Michael, and me.
Jason: I know.

Jason: You know what? The times I really needed Carly, she came through. No matter how much it cost her, no matter how much it hurt. Unlike Hannah, she stayed with you when there was no one else. Because she knew it was what I'd want.
Sonny: Well, you know what? Whoever let her in that day, I oughta kill them with my bare hands!
Jason: It was Carly! The woman that you call a tramp, the woman that you treat like dirt. Where was Hannah when she stuck it out with you?
Sonny: Hey, I never asked her to.
Jason: You needed her to. You owe Carly as much as I do.

Carly: In my whole life, nobody's ever defended me the way that you did with Sonny tonight. And I know- I know what it means for you to go against him. You always said that you never would. But - you know, you did. And you didn't even hesitate.
Jason: I just told the truth.
Carly: I know. Do you understand that you believing in me is... It's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Jason: So it was my job. To feed Michael, and to put him to bed. To make sure that nobody took him or hurt him. And I- I thought I would be able to do just that much. You know? Just make sure that he was okay until him mother came home. I didn't- I didn't know that I would turn out to know things that nobody taught me. Important things. Like... Like when somebody hurts and can't let you know. Or when they're lonely or when they wanna look out the window. Or when they just... Just want to hear somebody's voice. (pause) Michael needed a lot. But I always knew that. Nobody had to tell me. And whatever he needed, I got it for him. How was I able to do that? (pause) I tell ya, I wasn't- I wasn't the same person anymore. Suddenly I was this guy who could do just about anything if I had to.

Jason: You know, I used to say that I wasn't a little kid. But there was so much I didn't understand ... I kinda liked it that you didn't know about the accident. You thought I was a little strange, but you never ever pitied me. You didn't feel obligated to teach me things. And I didn't feel obligated to learn. But I did. I learned to be careful who you pick up in bars because it might change your whole life.

Jason: Like you taught me, even if all you want to do is have sex with a person. You should at least ask how their day went first.
Carly: It's a good thing to know, Jase.

Carly: If I hadn't panicked. If I woulda just followed you? Like I said I was gonna... You and me, and Michael, we'd all be together right now.
Jason: But we're not.
Carly: Yeah. Cuz I betrayed you. And I just want you to know that I'm gonna regret that for the rest of my life.
Jason: Okay, listen. Listen. You know what? Life, might be a lot easier if you weren't in it, for me. Okay? You're a lot of trouble. You make simple, simple things very complicated. But you have never ever betrayed me. You screwed up, yeah. But betrayal's different.

Carly: Remember the night you gave these to me? We were going to that party for the docks renovation? You remember. And I was kinda nervous because of all those people that were gonna be there, that they'd be looking down their noses at me? I remember I said 'It'd be nice if I had some jewelry.' The next thing I know, you handed me this box. They were the most beautiful things I'd ever seen.
Jason: Yeah, I remember that night. You called the dock strike on your own and nearly brought down the whole city.
Carly: (laughs) Doesn't mean I didn't look good, though does it?
Jason: I'm glad that you like the diamonds. I never understood why you brought them back here in the first place. If they make you happy, you should have them with you.
Carly: They do make me happy Jase. (she touches the necklace, smiling) You know why? Cuz they're expensive and they're beautiful and I like watching people's jaws drop when they see them. You know what makes me the happiest though? Knowing you're the one who gave them to me.

(Scene - New Years Eve... 1999?)
Carly: You like the dress?
Jason: Yeah, I guess.
Carly: (laughs) You're never any help.
Jason: Carly. You look good. You always do.
Carly: You know why I picked it, of course? The neckline here will show off my diamonds... (she leans over, trying to get him to look down her dress, then straightens when he doesn't) You remember the night you gave them to me?
Jason: You mean the night you called the docks strike?
Carly: Is that how you remember it? I always remember how it felt, walking down the aisle on your arm with all those flashbulbs popping in our eyes. And all those reporters calling 'Mr. Morgan!' And looking at us... I mean, everybody probably thought that you were a criminal and I was a tramp. But, uh... It didn't matter. Cuz we were better than any of them, that night.
Jason: Why do you care so much, what people think?
Carly: I don't. When I'm with you.

(Scene - Carly and Tony in the car, she just heard about the shootout at Luke's over the radio)
Tony: You're not thinking straight right now. We are in the middle of nowhere. It's 25 degrees out, there's ice on the road. Don't you care anything about the baby?
Carly: Of course I care about the baby, Tony. But the baby is fine, safe inside me. But Jason could be lying in a pool of blood with a bullet in him!
Tony: So what? He's got family, he's got hired men to take care of him. Why does he need you?
Carly: Because he hates doctors. And he hates hospitals. And he just so happens to be the best friend that I have ever had. Now if I were lying in a pool of blood with a bullet in me, you'd be busy. And Jason would be the first person I saw, if and when I opened my eyes. And then he would take care of me. And every second that you waste keeps me from doing the same thing for him that he had always done for me without thinking twice!
Tony: Get in the car.
Carly: If you won't take me, I swear I will walk.
Tony: I don't care where you end up right now, just get in the car. Get in the car.

Carly: Well, just isn't your day, is it? God, Jason, I never realized how complicated your life is before. It's almost as bad as mine.
Jason: Not quite.
Carly: I think, personally, people blame you because they know you can take it.
Jason: They blame me because there's no one else.
Carly: There's Sonny, what about Sonny?
Jason: Sonny's gone.
Carly: So, you know, you didn't want him to be. You did not ask for this. However it happened, you wound up here in this penthouse the same way I wound up pregnant. We have a right to get through it the best way that we can.
Jason: It's not even close to the same thing.
Carly: (pause) I know. All I'm sayin' is, you're helping me out when I need it. And, Jason? I want you to know that I will do the same for you. No matter what, I'm on your side.
Jason: Just do me a favour, okay? Worry about yourself. It's what you're best at.
Carly: True. Anything happens to you though... Me and this baby here are in a lotta trouble. Lookin' out for you is lookin' out for all of us.

Bobbie: (describing Carly to Dr. Evans) You know, she's very smart. And I don't mean book learning. Although she's really quite well-spoken, don't you think? For somebody with just a high school education. She probably didn't pay all that much attention in school. And then I'll bet she dragged out all those old textbooks later when she realized she was going to need that spelling and the grammar to get along in life. In some way, I think she's a lot like me. You know, because she understands things about people. About their hearts. And, she's no pushover. I means, she wants things the way she wants them. Don't ask her to compromise. Don't ask her to go with the flow. The flow better damn well go with her.
