Sons of Anarchy, Season 6

Galen O'Shay:
You're not getting out of guns, son. The cause needs you. Greater good.

Jax:
You know why my old man wanted out?

Galen O'Shay:
Don't know. Don't care. Lifetime ago.

Jax:
Yeah, it was. But nothing's changed. JT realized there's nothing more dangerous than a gangster who thinks he's got God in his pocket. The cause may have been the greater good at one point, but for guys like you, Jimmy O, it's just killing people with Catholic bullets to line your own pockets.

Jax:
Galen and Clay go back more than 20 years. They've done deals off the books, shit that neither of our organizations know about. They got secrets to protect.

Galen O'Shay:
Our deal with Clay will be locked down by the end of the day. Our history with the Sons of Anarchy has come to an end.

Jax:
And what if we say no?

Galen O'Shay:
You really can't, Jackson.

Wayne Unser:
This life, it ain't romantic or free. There's no path to anything that makes any sense. It's just dirty and sad. And we both know it's only going to get worse.

Gemma:
They carting you off to Belfast?

Clay:
I don't think so.

Gemma:
I thought that was the plan.

Clay:
I think there's another plan.

Clay:
So, I guess you, uh, had another vote I wasn't privy to.

Jax:
Yeah, we did. This time it was unanimous.

Clay:
Fair enough.

Connor Malone:
You played me, you bastard, didn't you?

Jax:
If I did, I played you right into the number one slot. It's up to you whether you want to stay there. You're a smart, decent guy, Connor. We both know this had to happen. It was gonna be you and me lying on the floor if it didn't. They earned that blood. So let's move past it. So we can both go home to our families.

Connor Malone:
It's been an interesting road, Jackson. One I'm really looking forward to getting off of.

Jax:
You and me both, brother.

Jax:
[opening voiceover] There are lessons to be found here - but mostly, I do this so you can know me. Lately, as I write these, I realize they are as much for me as they are for you. This is the one place I can be completely open - the pen and paper has no judgement, no vote, it simply receives my truth and allows me to turn the page. And today, this is my truth. I am terrified a great deal of the time - afraid of what I've done, of what I'm doing, and of what I might have to do. It's not a crippling fear, in fact, it's just the opposite. I thrive on it, I crave it, I need that rush of terror to get me out of bed in the morning. It's in my DNA. I have tremendous remorse for the acts of violence I've committed, both planned and spontaneous. But I think what brings me the most sorrow is that I've learned to justify this behavior. I always find a reason, a cause, a need that allows me the karmic lubrication to stuff my guilt into a savage compartment. I've become the thing, the one I hated. And with that awareness comes periods of days, sometimes weeks, when I have to avoid looking into a mirror. My self-hate is so deep, so palpable, I fear I'll lunge at my own image, shatter the glass, and cut myself with shards of broken reflection. Since my best friend was killed, I've lost my center. 'Op' was always my pull back to true north. Now my doubt and sense of fraudulence bark so loudly in my head that most of the time I can't hear anything else. Love, camaraderie, freedom - all the things I want from this life are lost in the din. Forgive my indulgence, sons, but today may be a day we both remember. A defining day. And I want you to look back at this entry and know that at the very least, your father was completely honest, so you know I speak the truth when I tell you that you are the most important thing to me. I'll never hurt you, never abandon you. I love you, Abel. I love you, Thomas. More than anything or anyone. I always will. Everything I do is for my sons.

Tyne Patterson:
I know how much you love Tara, and I see how deeply she loves you. Betrayal is a very intense feeling, one that can only be matched by the maternal instinct of a mother protecting her young.

Jax:
I don't need a lesson in family feelings. If you have something to say, then say it.

Tyne Patterson:
Whatever decisions happen here today, the outcome lands on you. Are you willing to let your family pay the price for your mistakes? Is that what a good man would do? Because if that happens, I promise you son, it's gonna destroy you and everything else you love, and that's not the law in me talking, that's a flawed mother who made a lot of mistakes. You're a husband, and a father, and a man before all of this. Own your place.

Gemma:
[after killing Tara] It had to be done.. had to be done.

Eli Roosevelt:
What did you do?

Gemma:
She did this, she did this. She made a deal, she betrayed him.

Eli Roosevelt:
Tara didn't rat, Gemma. Jax gave himself up to protect her, to keep her safe.
