I think it's sad. I think you're sad.

I lost my only source of income today because of you.

>> Brady: Why don't you do something crazy and get a real

job, instead of always trying to scam other people, huh?

>> Leo: Oh, it's so easy for you, right?

Born rich with a father who loves you, a billionaire

grandfather. You wanna hear about the son of

a bitch who raised me? >> Brady: No, I actually don't.

I'd rather not. But if things get desperate for

you, I was thinking about this: You could go back to being

an escort. Although, you might have to

lower your rate a little bit. You're getting a little long

in the tooth there, Leo. >> Leo: I'm going to see John

at the hospital. >> Brady: I suggest you don't.

He needs to concentrate on Marlena right now and what has

happened to her. >> Leo: I'm his son, and you

will not keep me from him. >> Brady: You mean his bank

Leo Starke. I mean, why would you trust him

with anything after what he did to Sonny and his family?

>> Stefan: You make a good point.

The man's hardly trustworthy. But, then again, neither are

you. >> Gabi: Okay, so we're on

this again. >> Stefan: Your daughter, she's

living at Brady's house, right? >> Gabi: Yeah, a lot of other

people live there too. >> Stefan: Huh.

Man, I really hope you're not lying.

>> Gabi: Or what, Stefan? >> Stefan: Oh, Shin and the

board, they saved your ass once, but they will not hesitate to

toss you out if they find out you're double-crossing the

company. >> Gabi: Wow.

You sound pretty paranoid. I mean, for all I know, you

could be the one behind all of this.

>> Stefan: Why would I sabotage my own company?

>> Gabi: That's right, that's right, you are a big

corporate raider, so maybe you could be bringing down stock

prices, while you're trying to buy more up, right?

Consolidate your power in your father's company?

>> Stefan: You, you are clever, I'll give you that.

You better hope you're not lying, because if you are,

the board firing you will be the least of your troubles.

I would hate to see your daughter lose her mother again.
