>> Brady: Yeah, well the whole town will be sorry.
>> Rex: So what did Sarah tell you?
>> Eric: That you not only got Mimi pregnant but that you also
slept with her sister, Noelle. That's real classy.
>> Rex: You know, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I
regret that. >> Eric: Yeah, well, good for
you. Man, a lesser man would
sometime not even feel remorse. >> Rex: You don't--you don't
know the circumstances at the time, Eric.
>> Eric: You know what, I don't even want to hear about it.
>> Rex: [stammers] I didn't think that Sarah and I
were even gonna make it. >> Eric: Hey, did you even hear
what I just said? >> Rex: Yeah, I did.
You're my brother, Eric, and I don't want my own brother
thinking I'm some--please-- thinking I'm some heartless
bastard who does reckless and stupid things.
I was an idiot, okay? I shouldn't have even looked at
another woman, much less sleep with one.
>> Eric: You are too. >> Rex: I said I was an idiot,
and I meant it. I admit that part, but what I
won't admit to is that I somehow tried to hurt Sarah on purpose.
The fact of the matter is that during the time that I was
unfaithful to her I just felt like I didn't deserve her.
I know that that sounds like some sorry, lame ass excuse, but
it's true. You know, there are a lot of
aspects about our relationship at the time that were very good.
They were very positive, and we loved each other, but...
she was so hypercritical of me. Like I was too quiet when--
when I was hanging out with her friends or I wasn't
funny enough. My jokes weren't good enough.
I needed to be more of an extrovert or more demonstrative
with her, like I needed to hold her hand more or tell her that I
loved her more. It's...
It's like I constantly felt like I couldn't measure up.
And I was just being judged. >> Eric: Did you tell her that?
>> Rex: No. No, I didn't.
And I realize that that was a problem 'cause those feelings
were just building up inside and festering, but you know Sarah.
She's a very, very strong willed and assertive
person, and I felt like if I brought this up with her,
she would think that I was just complaining, that she would
criticize me more and she'd think that I wasn't the right
guy for her. >> Eric: Rex, why are you
telling me this? >> Rex: Again, 'cause you're my
brother. And, Eric, I don't want you to
think that I'm a horrible person.
When I slept with Mimi and Noelle...
God, I was really screwed up in the head.
I felt... I just felt unworthy, you know?
Like unsure of myself, and like, "Oh, Sarah's just gonna leave me
anyways, so it's..." Are you bored?
Am I getting through to you at all right now?
>> Eric: You expect me to be empathetic to you?
You know, for you sleeping with your fiancée's sister because
you felt insecure at the time. >> Rex: Okay, you know,
so no empathy at all? That's cool, man. Fine.
You know what? Just forget it. Forget the whole thing.
Just tell me one thing. How was Sarah when you saw her?
>> Eric: Sarah, I know that you're mad.
>> Sarah: Rex slept with my sister which is the worst kind
of betrayal imaginable, and I want him to know what that kind
of betrayal feels like. And I know this is gonna make me
feel a whole lot better. >> Eric: How do you think she
was? What, do you want me to draw you
a picture? >> Rex: Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
>> Rex: Come on, Eric, draw me that picture.
How was Sarah when you saw her? >> Eric: Why the hell should I?
>> Rex: Why? [stammers] 'Cause I just opened
up to you about the worst mistakes that I've made in my
life, hoping that you would get it, maybe even relate.
That even though what I did was unforgivable, reprehensible,
that maybe you would just understand why I did it.
What--what the hell is the matter with you, man?
Why aren't you saying anything? What is it you don't want me to
know?
>> Eric: Sarah. You don't want this.
>> Sarah: No, don't tell me what I want.
>> Eric: No, I don't want this. I don't want this.
I mean, I... I got involved with Nicole while
she was with Brady, and it'd end in disaster if we
sleep together. >> Sarah: This is different.
Rex--Rex doesn't care about me. I just want to forget about him.
I just want to stop feeling bad. Don't you want that too?
>> Eric: I don't want to forget about Nicole.
Ever. Sarah!
You're not listening to me. I don't want you like this.
What Rex did to you is wrong. But you can't wipe away your
pain by sleeping with a guy who isn't in love with you.
>> Sarah: Okay. >> Eric: Sarah, let me make some
coffee. We can talk.
>> Sarah: No, I don't want any coffee, and I sure as hell don't
want to talk. >> Eric: Sarah, are you okay to
drive? I can call you a cab.
>> Sarah: No, don't do me any favors.
>> Eric: Sarah!
She was in so much pain when she left here.
She just wanted to forget what you did to her.
>> Rex: [sighs] And what, Eric, you couldn't do
that for her? >> Eric: I only offered to make
a pot of coffee so we could talk.
That's not what she needed. >> Brady: You want me back as
CEO? [chuckles]
Where is this coming from? >> Victor: Chad DiMera was a
disaster. I'm sure you've heard.
>> Brady: Mm-hmm. >> Victor: I have to keep the
company within the family, so that leaves me few options.
Sonny's married to his accuser, so he's out.
I'm certainly not gonna turn the company over to Xander.
>> Brady: Why not? I mean, think about the bio in
the annual report. "Xander Kiriakis comes to Titan
with a plethora of experience, including locking women in cages
and trying to murder them on their wedding days."
It's brilliant. >> Victor: He also has inside
information on DiMera. >> Brady: No, he doesn't.
He's bluffing. >> Victor: I wouldn't be so
sure. He got it from Eve.
>> Brady: Eve? Why would she... He let her to Jack.
Didn't he? >> Victor: Probably.
Listen, I have to commend her for doing a little espionage
while Basic Black was a part of DiMera.
Turning over the information she got for Jack Deveraux, that's
just sad. But I digress.
The point is, I'm not gonna cave to Xander.
He's a thug. >> Brady: So that's why you
called me. You're desperate.
You're desperate for a CEO, and I just happened to be in the
right gene pool. >> Victor: I want you because I
want you to do what you do best: Run the company better than
anyone. What do you say?

our daughter. >> Stefan: How is Charlotte?
I mean, she is my niece after all, my own flesh and blood.
For months I believe she was mine, so I'll always have a

my daughter again. >> Stefan: You know what,
Abigail, you've been through an awful lot.
That's probably why you're overreacting.

Xandy? Where are you?
>> Rex: Mom. >> Kate: Honey.
