Jax and Venus have Chinese Food

Thanks to Tracee and Irene for letting me use their transcript

V: Evening.

Brenda: Hi.

V: Hey. Wow, you look so different. If you don't mind my saying so.

Brenda: Oh I... I took a nap.

V: No that's not it, you seem, um... I don't know, at peace?

Brenda: Oh well... I feel a little at peace.

V: Yeah? Did your sister go home?

Julia:(walking in the open door, arms folder, a little curt): Her *sister*, thank you very much, is right here.

V: Oh no... I'm sorry... no, all I really meant by that, was that well, I knew there was some sort of.

Jax: This is uh... this is my assistant, V. Ardanowski. She's actually a very nice person.

Julia: Hi... Julia Barrett.

V: Hi... nice to meet you.

Julia: Hey... you two aren't going to work tonight are you?

V: Yeah... afraid so.

Julia: Oh... c'mon Jax... Let's turn this into a party!

V is sitting on the left couch, looking over papers as Jax comes back in, closing the door behind him.

Jax: Are these the cable company buy?

V: Oh... I have them over here.

Jax(walks over, takes the paper, eyeing the brown bag by the couch): What's that?

V: Oh... I'll tell you in a minute. First. I have an apology to make.

Jax: What for?

V: For telling you it was a mistake to fly out Brenda's sister. It was rude, intrusive, and no one asked for my opinion.

Jax: Then why'd you give it?

V: Well okay... some people like to beat around the bush. I uh... blurt. I'm sorry Jax, I should have stayed out of it.

Jax: There's no reason to apologize, okay.

V: No, I think that there is. Not only was I wrong... I was out of line.

Jax: Look there's no way you could have known that the two of them would've eventually hit it off.

V: Which is why from now on, I decided to restrict my conversations to business. No chit-chatting, no uh... personal revelations. I'm just gonna do my work and keep my opinions and my unsolicited advice to myself.

V: What are you thinking?

Jax: Maybe this isn't the job for you after all?
