Come on, let's be real

325
00:16:39,465 --> 00:16:42,935
right now.
There's an energy.

326
00:16:43,001 --> 00:16:46,305
The way you two look at each
other, there's this love, and

327
00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:48,874
it's, it's--
You guys touch each other.

328
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:52,277
It's-- It's really profound.
>> Thomas: Steffy's right.

329
00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:55,781
Mom, you-- you are really
an incredible person.

330
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:59,084
You-- You-- You give your
life to others every day.

331
00:16:59,151 --> 00:17:01,320
You're-- You're kind, and
you're compassionate, and

332
00:17:01,387 --> 00:17:03,288
literally, you've made your
entire life out of helping

333
00:17:03,355 --> 00:17:06,425
other people.
And that's impressive, and you

334
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:10,195
do that for the family.
And-- And you and Dad together?

335
00:17:10,262 --> 00:17:12,731
I mean, that-- that's
what we need--

336
00:17:12,798 --> 00:17:17,703
you guys united as a team
leading the family forward.

337
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:23,776
The Forrester family.
>> Steffy: That is true.

338
00:17:23,842 --> 00:17:26,945
Do you not see it?
You feel it?

339
00:17:27,012 --> 00:17:29,048
Like, you're looking at
each other right now.

340
00:17:29,114 --> 00:17:31,116
There's-- Like I said,
there's this energy.

341
00:17:31,183 --> 00:17:39,892
You can't deny it!
That love is there, I know it.

342
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:44,329
Stop wasting time.
Start your lives today

343
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:48,967
together.
All you have to do is just say

344
00:17:49,034 --> 00:17:54,640
"I love you."
And "I want to be with you."
