She’s talking about her night of passion with Luke…

Jessica: Baby’s with my mom. Baby’s safe.
Luke: With your mom?
Jessica: She’s safe.

Cap asked me to give you these [arrows]. They belonged to Clint Barton. So did the code-name Cap picked out for you. Even without the bow and arrows… The only Avenger who ever stood up to Captain America the way you did… Was Hawkeye.

Jessica: So…Jonah wanted to be Bucky when he was a kid. That explains a lot.
Kat: Not really. What kid doesn’t want to be a super hero? To have the perfect body? Be able to fly?
Jessica: I wanted to be Spider-Man, so go figure. What about you?
Kat: Believe it or not…? I wanted to be you. So go figure.
Jessica: You’re kidding, right? … Hey, Kat. Wait up.

Kat: …Jessica Jones as Jewel.
Jessica: Oy…where did you get that?
Kat: Off the net. You’ve got, like, two hundred fan-sites—
Jessica: That may be the scariest thing I’ve ever heard.
J. Jonah: So, who better to track down a gang of super-powered fanboys…?
Jessica: Oh, no…
Kat: …than super-powered fan-favorite Jewel.
Jessica: Guys, they’re kids. They’re not gonna remember me.
J. Jonah: So, you’ll remind them. You still have the costume, right?
Jessica: Okay, I’m gonna be sick now. And not just because I’m pregnant.
J. Jonah: So, you’ll find the kids, get their story, and practice your mothering skills all at the same time.
Jessica: What mothering skills?
J. Jonah: Exactly.
Jessica: And how am I supposed to find these kids?
J. Jonah: How should I know? Ask that super hero boyfriend of yours, Luke Cage. Or call your buddy, Captain America.
Jessica: It doesn’t work that way.
J. Jonah: So, how does it work?
Jessica: I have no idea.
J. Jonah: Then what am I paying you for?
Jessica: I’m not wearing the costume.
