Leonardo said, "So let me get this straight, not only did I work my butt off today, but I also have to bring you guys gifts?"
Cornelia replied, "I'm cool with that."
Leonardo said, "Y'all are ruthless."
Cornelia said, "Leonardo, you're giving us gifts now. But when you get married, I'll give you an even pricier gift. You won't be at a loss."
Leonardo said, "I have no intention of getting married, how am I supposed to accept your gift?"
Cornelia gave him a disgruntled look, "You have a bunch of girlfriends but no plans to settle down? You're treating these girls like a total jerk!"
Leonardo fired back, "A jerk is a guy who says he loves you but chases after other women. I lay everything out before I start dating. If my girlfriend can bring me happiness, I can give her the money she wants. We both get what we want and if we get sick of each other, we can split anytime. How am I a jerk?"
Cornelia said, "That's complete nonsense!"
Leonardo said, "How is that nonsense? I'm a good guy! Do you think every man should be like your husband, not touching women for decades to be considered a good man?"
Leonardo continued, "A man like Marcus could have issues! Certain functions need to be used frequently to know if they're working properly. If they're not used, people might start to wonder..."
Leonardo started to crack jokes. No one knew Marcus' situation better than Cornelia. She glared at him, "Leonardo, shut up!"
Leonardo said, "Did I mention any of Marcus' flaws? Are you trying to shut me up because you can't argue back? Well, I won't shut up."
