Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Against myself

Diana, Steffy, Massimo and Finn are still talking. Diana is crying.

Diana: Daddy, is it true?

Massimo doesn't reply and just looks down.

Diana: You know how much I need you... You know that I have a mother that I can't count on! 

Steffy and Finn look at each other. 

Massimo: I'm tired Diana. So tired.

Diana: Maybe because you don't get the right treatment.

Massimo: My heart feels heavy.

Diana: Why!? You have me! You have Ridge, Nick, Jack, RJ, Thomas and Steffy!

Steffy: You also have Douglas and Kelly. 

Finn: So much to look forward to. 

Massimo: You don't know how it's like to be me. I had all the money in the world... But tragedy after tragedy was always in my life. 

Steffy: Grandpa, we will help you. 

Finn: It's time to get the right treatment. You are a strong man. A fighter. 

Massimo: I think I was strong... It's time my children deal with Marone industries... And I can rest.

Steffy: Your children can run the company with you being alive. 

Diana: Exactly... If you don't want to work you can stay at home and enjoy life.

Massimo: What can I enjoy? What life?

Steffy: You have us... We all love you. 

Massimo is watery eyes.

Next scene: Hope, RJ and Coco are checking on design on a model.

Hope: Wow... Just wow. Thank you Kristin. You may go now.

The model walks out.

Hope: Well... It looks great.

Coco: The color is also spot on, right?

Hope: Yes it is.

RJ: I am so happy that we can work on this collection. 

Coco: Did Steffy see all the designs?

Hope: Sure. A long time ago.

RJ: But she's not at work today to actually see everything on the models?

Hope: No... She didn't come yet. Well, she's the boss so she can come when she wants to.

RJ: I think that the whole situation with grandpa Massimo really is stressing her out. Thomas is also jealous of Jack and Steffy told me how annoyed she is with Thomas.

Hope: Really?

RJ: Damn... Maybe I shouldn't be telling you this.

Hope: It's ok... I won't tell Steffy that you told me. 

RJ: I made peace with Jack and now Thomas is at odds with him.

Coco: Maybe it's because he is jealous of Sally.

Hope: Thomas is with Caroline... They have their son. Maybe it's his ego... Because I think that he is happy where he is. Don't get me wrong Coco... Your sister is a beautiful girl, but... 

Coco: I know... Thomas and Caroline have history and a child. 

Hope: I am so happy for Sally and Jack. He is so in love with her.

Coco: I hope so.

Hope: Well... Let's say that he told me that he loves her on many occasion. 

RJ: Yep. He also told me that he is crazy for Sally.
