V: Oh... great!
Jax and V have Chinese food, part 2
V: Are you saying... I'm fired?
Jax: Possibly.
V: Just for being outspoken?
Jax: Nope. Because you're threatening to stop.
V: I.. I don't like making mistakes or being wrong.
Jax: The point I'm making is that I hired you precisely for your ability to be original and spontaneous. Now if you're going to stop we might as well part ways, as friends, of course.
V: And if I continue to be spontaneous?
Jax: We carry on.
V: Alright! You got it. From now on I will be the most spontaneous assistant the corporate world has ever seen.
Jax: Okay. And as for blurting?
V: I'll make it a way of life.
Jax: Good. Let's get to work.
V(leans over for the bag): Something which we will do much more effectively... (plops the bag on the coffee table) after we eat.
Jax: What is that?
V: Chinese food. I had this feeling you might be in the mood.
Jax: Oh... now I thought the smell of fried rice was just a bad fragrance choice on your part.
V: You do like Chinese food, don't you?
J: More than you can possibly imagine.
V: Oh... great!
They both motion to dig into the bag, but there's a knock on the door. V opens the bag while Jax goes to get the door.
Jax(walking to the door): Don't start without me.
V: Okay.
Jax opens the door to a delivery guy, holding a box.
Delivery Man: Mr Jax?
Jax: Yes?
Delivery Man: Your dinner. (hands him the box)
Jax: Excellent! Let me give you a hand with that. (takes the box)
V(surprised): You ordered Chinese food too?
Jax: As you said, I was in the mood. Keep the change.
Delivery Man: Thank you.
Jax: Oh and be sure to give my best to Chef Loo.
Delivery Man: It'll be my pleasure, sir. (walking out) We look forward to seeing you next time you're in Chinatown.
Jax waves him off and closes the door.
V: I didn't know there was a Chinatown in Port Charles.
Jax: Well actually I had this flown in from Manhattan by helicopter.
V: Oh, when you order out, you really order out.
Jax: Shall we?
V: Okay. Think there's enough... (she laughs) Okay... how about some nice steamed veggies? (puts a carton on the table) Jax: Sure. (digs out his own carton) Quail eggs?
V: Oh... not on an empty stomach.
Jax(taking out more cartons, gets excited): Oh... carp with a spicy bean sauce. (he giggles to himself)
V: Goldfish? No I think I'll pass. Oh hey... Chicken Chow Mein.
Jax: I'll pass. Shark Fin soup... Deep Fried Pigeon's Nest... (gets giddy) Oooh... Pickled... (grabs the carton, greedily) Ooooh... Pickled Rabbit. (laughs to himself)

V: Um... I think I'm just gonna start off with some white rice.
Jax looks up from his rabbit and gives her a devilish grin.
