Jennifer tries to get Jack to face his feelings for her.
Jennifer: You can't keep hiding forever Jack. You're going to have to face it sometime.
Jack: I'm not going to face anything.
Jennifer: You feel what's going on between us as much as I do. You just won't admit it. But you're going to have to sometime. You're going to have to do something sooner or later because it can't go on like this.
Jack: I don't have to do anything because nothing's going to change. Nothing will change.
Jennifer: Why will nothing change between us, Jack?
What's stopping it? What is not letting it happen? I know what it is, Jack, and we're going to talk about this right now. If you don't want to talk about it, I will, okay? You have put me up on some pedestal in your mind, and you've got me up here, and you've got you down here, and you don't think that you're good enough for me. That's what you think, isn't it? That's it, isn't it? You think that I'm this fragile, sheltered person. You think I'm this china doll and if you touch me I'm going to shatter into a million pieces. But you're wrong, that's not what I am! I'm a woman and I have all the feelings that a woman has. And I'm not going to break if you touch me. And it's about time you figured that out.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer: I would go to the moon if you were there.
Jack: If I was going to the moon, I'd take you with me.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer: Our life is going to change a lot, Jack. I mean, earlier you said that you weren't the man that I fell in love with but... I might turn into the woman that you didn't fall in love with either. I mean, this whole job is going to be a big change. It's a whole new career.
Jack: Well, that's just it. It's a big change. A whole new career. Things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes... just for the different. But... so we didn't expect for you to have less time for myself and our child. That's all right. Things change. But one thing that's never changed is the fact that you're... you're the only girl who's ever stolen my heart. And it doesn't matter how much success you have or I have... I don't think that's ever going to change.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer to Jack: You were the first man that I ever made love to, and it took a long time because I wanted it to be right. And there was no man ever more right for me.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack: Oh, you're right about one thing. I am angry.
Jennifer: With me.
Jack: No, no, not with you, with both of us. You and me. Because I knew that this day was coming. I knew it. And I just let us just go along with this romantic little dream - the good girl and the bad little boy - and fortified by her love, he knew that somehow he would become a great individual... and the flowers and trees and all things great and small. It does go on something like that, doesn't it?
Jennifer: Why are you trying to make a joke out of what we have?
Jack: Because it's a joke! It's a big joke, the whole thing!. I don't think about the future; maybe you do, but I don't! And I don't believe in little shell rings, either! I mean that was just something I thought of just for a minute on the island. It was temporary because I thought we were never going to get back. But we did get back, we got back home to reality! And it's never going to be the same again.
Jennifer: What happened on that island has nothing to do with not being home and being in danger. It was real. The bad, the good and this.... this shell ring that you gave me. You went through so much trouble because you care. And don't tell me that you don't because I know you.
Jack: Oh, you know... you know... You know this! You know this and here's the truth that you want to hear. The fact is... I'm a rapist! I'm a rapist. I just said it. You know, I've never said that before and I just said it. I have trouble dealing with it and so do you. And no little shell ring and no wonderful promises and no island is ever going to change that. Not even the love of a pure chaste virgin. It's never going to change that.
Jennifer: Well, if you really believe that then you're not the person I thought you were. If you believe it, Jack. And I don't think so. In your heart, I really don't think you do.

~~~~~~~~~~

In the underground tunnels of Alamania...
Jack: Nobody's going to get you or hurt you. Not even me. You know, I used to think that...I didn't really fit into your... your future plans in the most positive way. And I realized that that's rather stupid, because here I am, doing everything I can to look after you. I mean, look I... I'd cut off my right hand to save you. (He's left-handed) Or maybe my left hand, I don't know.
Jennifer: Thanks, Jack.
Jack: Well I mean that. I would do anything for you. And that's not saying how much it is, because you know I'm...I'm no hero. I don't swim, I don't run, I don't jog, or climb through tunnels, or ... go out on ledges, or anything like that, but ... if somebody came after you... *holds up his fist*
What I said before about, you know, hurting... I was afraid of hurting you. I mean, that's definitely kept us apart, I think. But not as much as my fear of getting hurt. I mean, I worry. I worry all the time. I was just... I was just worrying about us... I mean, the point of what I was saying is that I was worrying... I wasn't worrying about you as opposed to me, or me as opposed to you. I was worrying about us. I think the operative word in there is 'us.' I have a... I have a very positive feeling... about us. And I do love you.

Jack has kidnapped Jennifer from her wedding to Emilio.
As they ride away on a firetruck, Jennifer begs him to take her back, even though she really does not want to marry Emilio.

Jennifer: My family's waiting, Emilio's waiting for me!
Jack: I can see Emilio in his monkey suit, smiling from ear to ear, singing "Here Comes the Bride, Here Comes the Bride" and the funny thing is - the bride isn't coming! (Jack is laughing hysterically)
Jennifer: That's not funny! There's nothing funny about this!
Jack: No, Grandma and Grandpa are what's funny! They're standing up there, (in a dramatic voice) "Where's our Jennifer Rose, Jennifer Rose, what's happened to Jennifer Rose?"
Jennifer: STOP IT JACK! STOP IT!
Jack: Oh, there's no need to yell.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer has locked Jack in his room and stripped off his shirt.
He is trying to resist her.

Jennifer: You're scared, you're scared, Jack; I'm scared too. That's the point, we feel something when we're together. It's passion, it's chemistry -
Jack: It's cold! It's very cold in here! As a matter of fact, I'm freezing. Look at those goosebumps!
He is cut off as Jennifer pulls him into a kiss

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer: Look, I know this is going to sound really dumb, but having Hannah with me reminded me of a dream that I've had since I was a little girl.
Jack: Oh really. What's that?
Jennifer: Well, I never had a real family. You know, like, a home with a picket fence and a dog and all that. But I always imagined that's what I would have when I grew up. I mean, I really thought I was destined to devote my life to being a wife and a mother. And when I met Frankie, I thought, this is it. I'm going to marry him and we're going to have that family. But that never happened.Then I actually thought that it might happen with Emilio. Boy, I guess I can be really stupid sometimes, huh?
Jack: There's nothing stupid about wanting to have the right person in your life.
Jennifer: Where do you find them?
Jack: Well I...I don't think you really find them. I think the important thing is to find yourself and then...uh, once you've become the right person, the right person will find you.
Jennifer: Jack Deveraux, if you keep this up, you're going to spoil your image.
Jack, smiling: Oh, we wouldn't want that to happen.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack and Jennifer are separated, and he has just serenaded her (off-key) to Johnny Mathis' song, "Wonderful, Wonderful"
Jack: I've never really sung for anyone before, and now you know why. I consider it silly, frivolous and possibly unmanly. The only thing more foolish than singing, however, is me singing a Johnny Mathis song. I was, however, willing to set aside these deeply felt and long standing beliefs ... for you. I just thought I'd say that. Well, I guess we better finish the game.
Jennifer: How did you do that?
Jack: Humiliate myself?
Jennifer: Make me feel the way I did on our wedding day?

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack, frustrated that he's not "suave" enough: Girls want to spend the night with...ah...Rhett Butler, or Robert Redford, not Jerry Lewis.
Jennifer: Jack, Jack; this has nothing to do with them or anybody else. You're not like anybody else. You're unique and so are we. We don't do things like other people do, and I'm glad. So don't talk about how it's supposed to be because this is how it's supposed to be...for us. And I love it.
Jack: Seriously?
Jennifer: Seriously.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack talks to a sleeping Jennifer
Jack : You know I meant what I said before, about you meaning everything to me. But there were some other things that I couldn't put into words like the fact that... you're like a... you're like a vital organ in my life. You're like something that I can't live without anymore. It's scary but it's wonderful too. I think about my life, if that's what you can call it, before we met, and what it would be like without you now, and it's... it's nothing.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack: Contra mundum.
Jennifer: What?
Jack: Contra mundum. Obviously you were sleeping through Latin class. Contra mundum, "against the world." You and me against the world.
Jennifer: The odds aren't very good, are they?
Jack: They...they're not really bad either. They're.... they're.... they're okay.

~~~~~~~~~~

The third proposal to Jennifer
Jack: I was hoping we could be a little more creative about this but you know, when it comes to this sort of thing, even though I've been through it many, many times. It's just the question and the answer. And the question is.... upon my.... well Eve's and my release from the bonds and I do mean the holy bonds of matrimony.... once again, will you be my wife?
Jennifer says she wants to get past the Lawrence/rape trial first.
Jennifer:I want you to be sure that you know how I feel, okay? My future is with you, and there isn't anything that's going happen in that courtroom that can change that. But the thing is, I can't start a new life until I get through this. I mean, you can understand that, can't you?
Jack: Well, whether I can understand it or not is besides the point. I'm going to have to accept it, right?
Jennifer: Right. But you know, there is a word that fits you.
Jack: Take it easy...easy.
Jennifer: It's 'wonderful'.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer:That's how it is when you love someone. And I do love you.
Jack: Yes, well and I...well...well...
Jennifer: It's okay. You don't have to say it, Jack.
Jack: What do you mean I don't... I can... I can say it. It's not a matter of not having to say it....
Jennifer: I can say it for you.
Jack: No, you don't have to say anything for me. I'm a journalist. Words are my stock in trade. I like to believe I have a very large vocabulary.
Jennifer: Jack?
Jack: What?
Jennifer: You love me.
*Jack smiles*Jack: Well... yes.
Jennifer: Yes.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer: Look... I know it was hard for you, and I know it hurt you a lot to find out the truth about your real family, but now that you're dealing with it, and you're finally starting to accept it, look how your life is changing, Jack! It's getting better and better!
Jack: No, it's different, it's different. Don't you see? I... wasn't alone. I mean, I had [you] - I had...people who cared for me, unconditionally.
Jennifer: You mean, like your family, Adrienne, your mother?
Jack: I mean...yeah, I mean....them. They made...a lot of a difference...but not as much of a difference as you made.
Jennifer: What?
Jack: Jennifer, nobody has helped me see myself, deal with myself, or maybe even like myself...as much as you have.
Jennifer: Jack, I didn't even think...I didn't even think that you noticed that I was trying to help you.
Jack: Well, sure I noticed. I mean...I mean, I don't think we should have the same relationship, but I always knew you were standing next to me in a similar situation. I've come...I've come to think of you as a friend...a friend.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer: Jack, I was so wrong. I've been stupid. I even said that I would marry Emilio to get your attention, to spite you. How could I do that? How could I have done that to him?
Jack: Oh, come on, don't blame yourself. I bring out the worst in people, you know that.
Jennifer: All I know is the way I feel. I was so frustrated... I was even willing to use Emilio and he deserves better, so much better. I just hope I get a chance to explain to him and to apologize. I'm tired of playing games with you and me. The truth is...that I care about you more than anybody else in this world. More than anybody that I have ever cared for in my life.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer: Jack, would you just stop? Just stop! After everything you've done, to have the past dredged up like this, especially in public... I know what that must feel like.
Jack: Oh, you don't know anything about what anything feels like!
Jennifer: It must hurt! It has to hurt a lot. And you don't deserve it. I don't care what you did. It was a long time ago, and you are not the same person.
Jack: Oh, we're all the same....
Jennifer: You are NOT the same person! Everybody knows that now.
Jack: Look...
Jennifer: Even Steve. Even Kayla. I want to help you. Just talk to me Jack. Trust me, please. Jack...
Jack: I got a call today from Harper. He wants to see me.
Jennifer: Are you going to go? Are you going to talk to him?
Jack: I don't know.
Jennifer: Do you want to?
Jack: I said, I don't know! That means, I don't know!
Jennifer: I'm sorry.
Jack, passionately: Don't be sorry, you've got nothing to be sorry about. You didn't do anything! Look, Harper and I have a relationship. He raised me from the time before I could walk or talk, that's deep, you don't forget about things that are that deep!
Jennifer: I know that, Jack -
Jack: That's a heritage, you don't turn your back on heritage! That's a part of me!
Jennifer: I understand that, but....
Jack: Listen to me, for once! Listen to me! Ask anybody in this town, ask them who I am, and they'll tell you - I'm Jack Deveraux, Harper's son!
Jennifer: YOU ARE NOT!
Jack: Jack Deveraux, Harper's son! One wields a pen, the other wields a sword, but deep down it's all the same!
Jennifer: You're wrong!
Jack: No, I'm not wrong!
Jennifer: You're wrong!
Jack: NO!
Jennifer, crying: I don't believe what anyone says! I don't even believe you! I believe IN you! And I believe what I feel, with my whole heart!
*She kisses him passionately, he kisses her back*

~~~~~~~~~~

Their wedding night...
Jack: I'm glad for the snakes and the ships, the cliffs... even the Wild West weddings. And all the other fine messes that you've gotten and will get me into.
Jennifer: That I'll get you into?
Jack: All right. The messes that I'll get you into too, if you're lucky. I guess I should just give you this as a final warning. I mean...even after everything you've said...you may live to regret this day.
Jennifer: Never.
Jack: Never?
Jennifer: Never ever.
He kisses her fingers
Jennifer: I thought you read that only women cried when they were happy?
Jack: I'm not crying.
Jennifer: Yes, you are. I can see a tear.
Jack: Where?
Jennifer: Right here in the corner of your eye.
She wipes a tear out the corner of his eye
Jack: If there is any moisture in the corner of my eye, it does not constitute crying.
Jennifer, smiling: You should just admit it. You are just as happy as I am Jack. *they kiss*

~~~~~~~~~~
J&J are about to make love, but Jack's zipper is stuck.
Jack: Well, I don't want to blow my horn or anything, but things would be looking up if I could get this zipper down.

~~~~~~~~~~

*Their wedding night*
Jennifer: Well, we did it Jack. We made it through ship wrecks, through runaway trains, cliff hangers... We finally got here.
Jack: Did you ever really doubt that we would?
Jennifer: Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I didn't know. I mean, I was really afraid that we would never be together.
Jack: Something always managed to come along to draw us back together.
Jennifer: Yeah, it's called love.
Jack: It's called your bull-headedness.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack: Isthmus! If you used the dictionary, the very dictionary that you've seen described, you would find that the pronunciation of isthmus is not ithmus but isthmus, not ithmus.
Jennifer: Not "ithmus"?
Jack: Isthmus.
Jennifer: When have I ever said "ithmus?" I don't even say that word. I don't even know what isthmus means!
Jack: I don't know. Maybe at ithmus time, I don't know, when?

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack: Um... there is one thing I wanted to say...
Jennifer: Yes, Jack?
Jack: Ah, you know what I was going to say.
Jennifer: Oh, are you talking about the L-word?
Jack: The L-word, yes the L-word, yeah. I tell you that I...ah...I L you.
Jennifer: Ah, what the L, I L you too, Jack.

~~~~~~~~~~

*The lights have gone out*
Jack: Is that you?
Jennifer: Is that you?
Jack: Heh! Yeah! Here.
Jennifer: I've got it.
Jack: Why are we whispering?
Jennifer: I don't know. Because it's dark.
Jack: Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness I always say. *lights a candle*
Jennifer: I always thought you'd be the type to like it in the dark.
Jack: Heh! Under some circumstances, maybe.
Jennifer: Oh, Jack.
Jack: Look when the power comes back on, you ask me again and I'll tell you all about being good in the dark.
Jennifer: What if I don't want to wait till then?
Jack: Some things are better with the lights on.
Jennifer: I've heard that too.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack: Well, I suppose I should be trotting off down the corridor.
Jennifer: Down the corridor?
Jack: Uh...to my room.
Jennifer: Oh!
Jack: What do you mean by, "Oh"?
Jennifer: Nothing! Just, "Oh."
Jack: I see.
Jennifer: Jack? What did you think when I said "Oh"?
Jack: I thought that you...uh...I thought you were... I thought you were trying to tell me something.
Jennifer: What did you think it was?
Jack: Well, I tend to wax a little egocentric and...
Jennifer: Jack.
Jack: I thought you were trying to tell me to stay around for a while.
Jennifer: Oh.
Jack: There's that word again.
Jennifer: What did you think I wanted you to stay around for?
Jack: I don't know. What did you think I thought you wanted?
Jennifer: Well, I guess I thought that you thought that I might think that you would want to stay for dinner.
Jack: Oh!

~~~~~~~~~~

The end of the roof proposal...
Jack: So, what's the answer on the marriage deal, yay or nay?
Jennifer: Jack, I think you should know that tonight was everything that I've always dreamed of. You're everything that I've always dreamed of.
Jack: Yes...?
Jennifer: And you talked about wasting too much time, but that's exactly what I need right now. I need time to pull myself together. Do you understand that? I mean, Jack, after everything that's happened, I don't even know who I am anymore. There's only one thing that I'm sure of, and that's that I love you very much... and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm just not ready to start the rest of my life yet.
