Monica: I've worn my share of evening gowns, but I'd say that is spectacular.
Jax: Well you're absolutely right. And it's not just the gown.

Chloe: I heard the strangest weather report. They were predicting a blizzard in Hell.
Jax: Surely you're not implying that…
Chloe: Close your eyes and think gazebo.

Jax: Are my ears ringing or do they love us?
Chloe: I happen to be an accomplished dancer but my feet rarely leave the ground and they did just now. I was literally…floating.
Jax: You mean like this?

Jax: You know, I never got to kiss the bride.
Chloe: Yes. I would have noticed. [Jax leans in and kisses Chloe on the cheek. Slowly, he leans back and looks into her eyes. Caught up in the moment, they both move in for their first kiss]
Jax: Now, this is what I'd call seriously bad timing. I finally kiss you, and it's on the night of your wedding.
Chloe: It's my fault. I should have warned you – I'm the queen of bad timing.
Jax: Besides, this is a really bad idea.
Chloe: Absolutely. The worst.
Jax: And we're terrible people to be doing it.
Chloe: Awful. We're asking for trouble.
Jax: Rushing headlong into disaster.
Chloe: We really should stop.
Jax: Yeah, right now.

Chloe: Translation, please?
Jax: Artist. You know how they are.
Chloe: No, I mean about fountain before.
Jax: "You're so beautiful. All I want to do is dance with you."
Chloe: Are you sure that's all you said?
Jax: You know, if we toss coins in Trevi Fountain, all our dreams will come true.
Chloe: And what do you dream about?
Jax: Oh, Sigrid.

Jax: Getting drenched in Trevi Fountain is good luck.
Chloe: Since when?
Jax: Since now.
Chloe: Oh. Do you see the light bouncing off the coins we tossed in?
Jax: All the way over here?
Chloe: Look. It's beautiful. I'll remember those coins, our wishes, when we go back to Port Charles. Oh, I am supposed to be German. Do you think anybody noticed?
Jax: Meine schoene Sigrid. You know, I've never actually saw Rome until today.
Chloe: Neither have I. Thank you.
Jax: Kiss me.
Chloe: Translate, please.

Jax: [German accent] Are you ready, my fraulein?
Chloe: "Naked in a fountain."
Jax: [Normal voice] What's an unsafe place to be caught in a thunderstorm?
Chloe: Don't play innocent with me. That is what you said yesterday to those anniversary people in German. I just looked it up. What you said you said was, "All I want to do is dance with you." What you left out was "naked in a fountain."
Jax: I wonder why I would say that.
Chloe: Have you heard scandalous things about me written in a Milanese fashion magazine?
Jax: No. Are there any to be read?
Chloe: Have you heard unseemly rumors about how I like to liven up boring parties?
Jax: No, but why don't you tell me more.
Chloe: Or maybe have you jumped to the conclusion that since I can barely stand to have shoes on my feet that the same applies for pants, blouses, skirts, muumuus, overalls and, unmentionables?
Jax: I think I'd remember that.
Chloe: Or maybe you would like to be naked in a fountain. [laughing] I mean, I'm an open-minded woman, but if you're going to indulge in that kind of behavior, there is a favor I have to ask.
Jax: Oh yeah? What would that be?
Chloe: Well, could we stop and pick up a waterproof disposable camera?

Chloe: You should have reminded me.
Jax: Why do I care if you carry a sketch pad?
Chloe: Because if I don't, people ask me all sorts of questions--"Can you tell me which way this is?" or "Can I help you?" And I can't answer in German. All I can do is look vacant.
Jax: I like it when you do that.
Chloe: I know you like it. You like it too much.

Chloe: Haven't we been having a grand time though?
Ned: Yes, I'd say this ranks as one of my better honeymoons.
Alexis: Oh.
Jax: We'll be back again.
Chloe: How can you be so sure?
Jax: Well, whoever throws coins into Trevi Fountain always returns.
Chloe: Are you making that up?
Jax: No, I guarantee it.

Jax: Tell me you haven't eaten.
Chloe: What extravagant thing have you done now?

Jax: [looking at fortune from a fortune cookie] Hmm, let me see. There's a complicated set of instructions here. Just bear with me while I step this out, okay? "Look straight ahead, lean in 10 inches, extend your hand to the nearest chin, and with the lips you find in front of you, indulge in a long awaited kiss." Hmm, we can do that.

Alexis: Can Ned sleep over? You promised!
Jax: Yeah, yeah, and I'm a man of my word. Mm-hmm. We'll retire to our respective suites, and then Ned will take the service elevator up to you. Meanwhile, Chloe and I will get together for a little s-- you know.
Ned: How crude can you be?
Chloe: Over my dead body!
Alexis: Good for you! I'm a firm believer in abstinence before marriage.
Ned: For other people?
Chloe: He wants to take me sailing.
Alexis: In the dark?
Chloe: Mm-hmm.
Ned: In the cold?
Chloe: And I won't do it. Are you not aware that all of our excursions end up in catastrophes?
Alexis: If he wants to take you flying over the Sahara, don't go.
Jax: How long do you think pinochloe will keep us busy? Come on, I have sweaters and jackets on board. You'll be nice and toasty. Come on, Chloe, don't you trust me?

Jax: You don't make this easy, you know.
Chloe: Make what easy?
Jax: How can you look the way you look all soaking wet?
Chloe: By letting you plan the evening.
Jax: I'm serious. I'm not forgetting the decision that we made. I'm just damned if I can remember how we got there.
Chloe: It had something to do with our future, and I meant to make a mental note of it. [owl hoots] What was that?
Jax: My self control, going up in smoke.

Chloe: Is it possible to freeze to death in November?
Jax: Oh, absoulutely. Yeah, especially if you lose too much body heat sitting around in damp clothes and your boat just capsized.
Chloe: You know, it'd be kind of a shame if we--
Jax: Yeah. If we're going to freeze to death anyway, what the hell?
Chloe: We have a lot of good reasons to wait, don't we?
Jax: Hundreds.
Chloe: Why can't I think of a single one?
Jax: Must be the cold because neither can I.

Jax: I really am sorry for flipping the sailboat again.
Chloe: Maybe there's a reason that the boat always capsizes, or we get sprayed by foutains or thunderstorms come out of nowhere.
Jax: You're right. We do end up soaking wet quite a lot.
Chloe: This isn't the first time we've ended up staying all night beside a campfire.
Jax: Makes you wonder.
Chloe: Maybe it's fate.

Jax: I make it a practice not to fight fate.
Chloe: Wise choice.
Jax: I don't tempt it, either.
Chloe: Never.
Jax: That's why I have to point out Wilderness Rull Number 87--Avoid Hypothermia.
Chloe: How?
Jax: Vigorous physical activity.

Chloe: Are you kicking yourself?
Jax: A little. How about you?
Chloe: A lot. It'd be worth a little hypothermia to be with you.
Jax: What if there was no chance of freezing, no one to spy on us, no stray husbands or wives?
Chloe: That would be Heaven!
Jax: Then I'll meet you there.
Chloe: In Heaven?
Jax: Yeah. I'll just make the arrangements. All you have to do is show up.
Chloe: I would love to meet you in Heaven. And if not, I'll swim back out to that island any time you say the word.

Jax: Mind if I join you?
Chloe: Are you sure it's safe?
Jax: As long as we stay on opposite sides of the table.
Chloe: I'm not sure I want to.

Chloe: This place--is it near water?
Jax: Would you like it to be?
Chloe: I always enjoy getting soaking we with you, but I would prefer it as an option and not an inevitable conclusion.
Jax: Okay, so what we require is a version of Heaven that is not on the water but near the water. Any other requests?
Chloe: Should I pack a bag?
Jax: That would be advisable.
Chloe: As Sigrid or Mrs. Ashton?
Jax: How would you feel about a third identity?
Chloe: Fourth. Remember? I'm also Mrs. Lassenpheffer?
Jax: What if you were just Chloe and I were just Jax, in a room together, with no one threatening to barge in, nothing at stake but how we feel?
Chloe: That would be fine.
Jax: I just wanted to make sure before I made the arrangements.
Chloe: I've never been surer of anything in my entire life.
Jax: Good. Then tell that ridiculous husband of yours that you're leaving him.
Chloe: When?
Jax: Tomorrow afternoon. Meet me at 3:00 at the Elm Street Pier.
Chloe: We're not going by boat.
Jax: I'm not taking any chances this time, including Gertrude seeing us leave the hotel together.
Chloe: Tomorrow afternoon at 3:00. I'll be there.
Jax: I'll be waiting.

Jax: So, what do you think?
Chloe: This is heavenly. And you are an angel for arranging it. Should I check for Aunt Gertrude under the bed?
Jax: Oh, no. No, Gertrude is currently following my plane, which is on its way to Paris. So this night belongs to us.
Chloe:I've thought about this so many times. I can't believe it's actually happening.
Jax: Well, maybe this will make it more real for you.

Chloe: Who knew bearskin was so soft? I may never move from this spot.
Jax: Oh, lucky for me.

Chloe: I'm tingling all over.
Jax: That's a good thing.
Chloe: I'm not so sure.
Jax: Why? What's wrong?
Chloe: I don't know. This isn't the kind of tingling I was thinking about.
Jax: What, are you in pain?
Chloe: No, no, no. I feel really itchy.

Chloe: This is ridiculous. You know, I just didn't take that bearskin rug seriously. I laid on it and rolled on it and I thought it was so romantic.

Nurse: One bearskin rug did all that? My goodness, you must have been rolling around on it naked. Not that I blame you. If I had a husband who looked like him--

Alexis: Good evening.
Ned: Yes, I'm looking for Chloe Ashton.
Nurse: She's sleeping, and who are you?
Alexis: I'm a friend.
Ned: And I'm her husband.
Alexis: Not my husband.
Ned: No, I'm Chloe's husband. She's just a friend.
Nurse: Uh, why don't you just take a seat. And I just have to do one thing, and then I'll check and see if your wife is awake.
Ned: Okay. [looks apologetically at Alexis] I didn't mean you're like, just a friend.
Nurse: [to Jax] Did you hear that?
Jax: Yes.
Nurse: Well, I'll take them into the doctor's office and you can sneak out the back way.
Jax: No, no. That's okay. Her husband knows all about us. Just tell him I'll be out in a second.
Nurse: All right. [to Ned] Uh, your wife is sleeping and the gentleman who's with her will be out in a minute.
Alexis: My husband.
Nurse: You're husband?! Well, he said he'll be out in a minute. Are you people from New York?
Ned: What the hell happened to her this time?
Jax: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Keep your voice down. Chloe's sleeping.
Alexis: Is she okay?
Jax: Yeah, yeah, she's fine. What are you guys doing here?
Alexis: I called you about something. The innkeeper said that you had taken your companion to the doctor.
Ned: So what did you do to her, hmm?
Jax: She, um, had an allergic reaction to the bearskin rug in the room.
Ned: What was she doing on a bearskin rug?! Okay, what kind of sleazy love shack did you take my wife to, huh? And how can you treat her this way?
Chloe: Jax treats me just fine.
Jax: Hey, gorgeous.
Chloe: Hi. [to Ned and Alexis] Hi. What are they doing here?
Jax: They panic easily.

Jax: If your face is the last thing I ever see, I die a happy man.

Ned: Have you heard from our wayward spouses?
Alexis: They called from the Taj Mahal.
Ned: Is everything all right?
Alexis: They sounded downright giddy.
Ned: Leave it to Jax, the master of overkill.

Chloe: Oh, Jax. Oh, our own private garden.
Jax: You haven't noticed the best feature yet.
Chloe: What's that?
Jax: There's no bear skin rug.
Chloe: Oh, that sky and those stars. This is truly the most perfect place to start a new century.
Jax: And you're the perfect person to start it with.
Chloe: Happy Millennium, Jax.
Jax: Happy us.

Jax: You know, I'm trying to come up with a word to describe how I feel right now, and I can't think of one.
Chloe: I am infinitely patient. Keep trying.
Jax: Okay, you made me believe in magic again.

Chloe: I can't believe this!
Jax: What, that we're in the Caribbean or that it's the year 2000?
Chloe: Both. No, I can't believe the way I feel right now. Have you ever been through an earthquake?
Jax: Several.
Chloe: Well, I haven't till I met you.
Jax: What, you're comparing me to a natural disaster?
Chloe: No, you're more like a force of nature.
Jax: I'm still not sure if that's godd or bad.
Chloe: It's definitely good. You just basically demolished the fundamental belief that I have had for years, which is that I thought I had a complete life until I met you, and now, I realize that I had no idea what I was missing.

Chloe: Mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm. I love the way it smells after a rain. It's like a new beginning every time.
Jax: New beginnings sounds about right.
Chloe: Mm-hmm.
Jax: You hungry? I could order some room service.
Chloe Uh-uh. Everything I want is right here. I may have just spent the most perfect night of my life.
Jax: No.
Chloe: Yeah. How can I ever top this? You've taken me around the world, you've taken me away from Aunt Gertrude. We danced in a tropical rain. And I have been able to do this (she kisses him) anytime I want.
Jax: Yeah.
Chloe: Yeah, it's pretty nice.

Chloe: If I had it my way, I'd stay right here in your arms forever.
Jax: Well, that is a good thing because I have no intention of letting you go.

Chloe: Do you really think that bellboy's a spy?
Jax: Mmm-hmm. Absolutely, Mrs. Ashton.
Chloe: Oh, after that New Year's, how are we going to keep pretending?

Jax: Isn't infidelity fun?
Chloe: Yeah.

Alexis: I thought you were having your little thing in Manhattan.
Jax: Yeah, we got sidetracked.
Alexis: I see.
Chloe: Yeah, I'm really embarrassed. Um--
Alexis: Why don't I give you a couple of minutes?
Jax: That's a good idea.
Alexis: Welcome home, honey.
Jax: Yeah.
Chloe: Okay, I'm going to fall through the floor right now. Don't even try to stop me!
Jax: Why?
Chloe: Because we've been in Port Charles for a little over an hour and we've already gotten caught.
Jax: Yeah, but it was only my wife.

Alexis: You must have had some New Year's Eve.
Chloe: Oh yeah. We ended up on an island, just Jax and I, after we flew practically around the world. And finally, it came down to just the two of us and the ocean, and the next thousand years.

Jax: You know, I took special care to request a room without a bearskin rug.
Chloe: Oh, could you do me a favor and never mention the bearskin rug incident ever again? I find it very embarrassing.
Jax: You know, in all honesty, I really--I don't think I can promise that because, you know, you looked so funny under that big--
Chloe: Just stop.
Jax: fluffy pink coat.
Chloe: No, no. You're mean.
Jax: And your reaction--
Chloe: I think you need to stop right now.
Jax: When your nurse told you that you were in line after the calf delivery--

Jax: At first it was a conscious choice to try to be happy. But then--I found myself in a gazebo, looking at you in the middle of a downpour, and I didn't have to try anymore. You make me love my life. I wasn't sure that was possible after Brenda. But now, it's not only possible, it feels inevitable.

Chloe: You know, I'm feeling warm in here. I'm thinking, you don't really need this, do you? [she takes off his sweater]
Jax: You know what I've noticed.
Chloe: What have you noticed?
Jax: When we're alone--
Chloe: Mmm-hmm?
Jax: less is more.
Chloe: I noticed that too!
Jax: And nothing at all is even better.
Chloe: Isn't it lovely the way that works?
Jax: Yeah. "Magic," I believe, is the word.

Chloe: Do you know what I wish?
Jax: That we could stop the clock and not leave this room for a decade or so?
Chloe: How did you know?
Jax: Because I was wishing for my own version of the same thing.
Chloe: Mmm. How did your version go?
Jax: Well, we're not in this room.
Chloe: Mmm-hmm.
Jax: We're in Alaska.
Chloe: Oh.
Jax: In a cabin my parents used to own.
Chloe: Sounds cold.
Jax: No, it's warm inside. And quiet. There's not a neighbor for miles around. And we could just sit in front of the fireplace and watch the snow fall outside, pretend we're the only people on the planet.
Chloe: And when the sun goes down--does the sun go down?
Jax: Yeah, and when it does, it stays down for a while.
Chloe: Could we see the stars?
Jax: We could touch them.
Chloe: I would love to go there with you.
Jax: Well then it's settled. I'll buy the place back!
Chloe: Oh!
Jax: Yeah, I mean, you're the best excuse I'll ever have. Someone I can't wait to be alone with, and not just for a few hours for days and weeks.
Chloe: We don't have long to wait now. Just until Alan walks Gertrude down that aisle.
Jax: Yep.
Chloe: Yep. And in the meantime, we have a few more hours.
Jax: More than that. I promise you, Chloe, we will have our time.

Jax: Oh, Chloe. No, Chloe--Chloe, Chloe, stay with me! Stay with me, Chloe. I love you! Do you hear that? I love you.

Jax: This wasn't really part of the plan, was it? You and I are supposed to be planning our trip to Alaska together. So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to sit here and not budge until you open those beautiful eyes.

Jax: Not a very fitting ending for our evening, is it? But don't worry. It'll be over soon. You'll be okay. I can't tell you how many times I've imagined what our lives will be like once Gertrude is gone. No more sneaking around, no more pretending. Just you and me, making the most of each day together. You thought New Year's was big. You wait till you see what I've got planned for the rest of the century. I want to take you to all the places that I've been to. And then we'll discover new places, just the two of us. We'll grow old together. You hear me, Chloe? We have to grow old together.

Chloe: Alexis?
Alexis: Yeah?
Chloe: Will you do me a favor?
Alexis: Anything you want.
Chloe: Tell me how Jax looks.
Alexis: Not bad for a guy who's been up all night.
Chloe: He's my hero.

Jax: You are brave.
Chloe: I'm terrified.
Jax: Look, courage isn't lack of fear. It's being afraid and fighting back, and that's what we're doing. We're fighting this together. And I promise you, Chloe, we will win.
Chloe: I don't think you have any idea how scared I am.
Jax: Look, you can be anything you want.
Chloe: I want to be the girl who dances with you in the rain. Jax: You are. You always will be.
Chloe: I want to be the girl who reads your expressions, the one who makes you laugh.
Jax: You are the one. Because I love you. In the rain, in the sun, laughing, dancing, scared to death. There is no on for me but you.
Chloe:I feel exactly the same way, Jax. I love you too.

Jax: I was thinking some excursions into the countryside, you know -- Pompeii, Siena. Oh, and I know this medieval monastery in Tuscany that has been converted to a four-star hotel.
Chloe: Well, now, a monastery wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
Jax: Well, I'm open to suggestions.
Chloe: I was thinking more along the lines of two tourists in Rome.
Jax: Trevi fountain?
Chloe: We can make a wish.
Jax: Any wish you want.
Chloe: To stay together like this always.

Chloe: I have a confession to make.
Jax: What's that?
Chloe: When we used to go riding together last summer, I had some very vivid fantasies.
Jax: Really?
Chloe: Yes.
Jax: Tell me about them.
Chloe: No, I won't
Jax: Oh, come on. You can't just start that and not get into any details.
Chloe: Ok, ok, ok, ok. I --
Jax: Ok.
Chloe: Well, we would finish our ride --
Jax: Uh-huh.
Chloe: And then we'd wander off until we found a deserted spot. Perhaps an old barn, maybe.
Jax: Or an abandoned stable.
Chloe: Yes. And then we would kiss, and our kisses would build until we were making mad, passionate love right there on the ground.
Jax: Really?
Chloe: Mm-hmm.
Jax: You know what?
Chloe: What?
Jax: I have a confession to make, too.
Chloe: What's that?
Jax: I had the same fantasy.
Chloe: Really?
Jax: Yeah, it's true. That's why I brought you here to this barn.
Chloe: It was even better than I imagined. Everything is with you, Jax.
