document: Thomas: So you're gonna do it? You're gonna help me pull off this stunt?
  Brooke:  Sighs  Well, I have no idea what you have in mind, but if it's gonna get the press' attention, I'm on board.
  Thomas: Good, good. 'Cause I have an idea that will definitely get me some attention. Everybody's gonna be talkin' about it. Just remember to follow my lead.
  Brooke: Okay.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Taylor: Okay, I-I've gotta say I'm a little worried.
  Whip:  Clears throat  Oh, maybe a couple of reporters have left. That's all. There's still plenty of people. I just hope Thomas takes my advice.
  Taylor: That's exactly what I'm worried about.
  Whip: What's that supposed to mean?
  Taylor: Well, what were you saying? You told him what, he should pull some kind of P.R. stunt or P.R. gimmick? What is that?
  Whip: Sweetheart, I'm sorry. I-I don't mean to burst your bubble here, and I know he's your son and everything, but look around. I mean...  Scoffs  Hope's line really knocked their socks off, and now what are they supposed to do? Sit around and wait...
  Taylor:  Sighs 
  Whip: For some boring preview about men walking around in suits? No, he's gonna have to do something big.
  Taylor: Yeah, but still, he--he has to be careful about what it is he does. This is his introduction, his first impression of his new line.
  Whip: Oh.
  Taylor: You know, this-- this is Forrester Creations. It's not Jackie M. Its two different things.
  Whip: Okay, well, you're gonna just have to trust me on this, okay? He's going to have to make a statement, some big splash that's gonna make every single reporter in this room forget that they even saw Hope for the Future today.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Eric: This is the one we're gonna use.
  Thorne: Aunt Pam, you're drooling.
  Eric: Pam, give me the belt.
  Pam: Oh, wait, Max needs help getting dressed.
  Ridge: Are you almost ready?
  Rick: Just about.
  Marcus: Big day.
  Ridge: Yeah, the first half went great. Let's hope we get the same reaction with the men's line.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Bill: This long intermission is really trying my patience. It looks bad. Now that I own a piece of this company, they should be asking my advice.
  Katie: I agree. I don't know where Brooke is. Hi.
  Bill: Where have you been, "Romeo"?
  Liam:  Chuckles  Uh, with Hope, actually.
  Bill: Oh, big surprise.
  Jarrett: Well, she should be very proud. Her line is gorgeous.
  Liam: Oh, yeah. She's beyond happy.
  Katie: Well, she's not the only one. You look like you're on cloud nine.
  Liam: You know what? You know what? That is exactly where I am. Between me and Hope, things couldn't be better.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: Hey.
  Oliver: Hey.
  Hope: Hey.
  Oliver: What's goin' on?
  Hope: Oh, well, I just heard uh, my dad and Eric talking, and I just wanted to be sure you were okay.
  Oliver: You do care.
  Hope: You know I care. So, um, what happened?
  Oliver: You're wondering if I still work here.
  Hope: Look, Oliver, if they fired you, I-I will talk to them. I will--
  Oliver: They didn't.
  Hope: They didn't? They didn't? You still work here? You still have your job? Oliver, that's great. Oh, my God. I am so relieved.
  Oliver: Yeah, your dad and Eric were awesome.
  Hope: Yeah, I'm glad we're still gonna be working together.
  Oliver: Yeah, me, too.
  Hope: It was a close call.
  Oliver: You saved the day.
  Hope: Well, I'm just glad that Liam and I figured out what was going on before anything happened.
  Oliver: When are you gonna dump that guy and come back to where you belong?
  Hope: Oliver.
  Oliver: Don't you dare tell me it's not gonna happen. You're my Hope, and I'm not givin' up.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Katie:  Giggles 
  Bill: All right, can you lose that goofy grin before I throw up? Hope's not even here right now.
  Katie: Oh, don't listen to your father. I think it's sweet that you care about her so much.
  Liam: I do. Thank you.
  Katie:  Chuckles 
  Liam: Katie, your niece is amazing. She's everything I ever imagined and more.
  Katie: Well, she's a Logan.  Laughs 
  Bill: All right, I just cannot take it anymore. I'm gonna leave you two ladies to your Harlequin romance, okay? Jake.
  Jake: Yeah?
  Bill: What the hell is goin' on? Is the second half of the show ever gonna start?
  Jake: Soon. We're movin' as quick as we can. Adding Hope's line to the schedule just threw us.
  Bill: Well, any idea what the reasoning was behind that?
  Jake: Uh, no, I don't.
  Whip: See? Look right there.
  Taylor: What?  Sighs 
  Whip: That's why Thomas has gotta do something.
  Taylor: This is horrible. This was supposed to be his big day.
  Whip: I know. People that are supposedly here to see your son are leaving. It's a shame that Hope's line overshadowed everything.  Sighs  You know, he can't just get out here and do some sort of run-of-the-mill preview. If he wants to be in the headlines tomorrow, he's got to have something else planned.
  Thomas: Max. Stop. Just stop.
  Max: Thanks, Man.
  Thomas: Okay, tuck that in. Don't go embarrassing me out there, okay?
  Max:  Chuckles  No way.
  Thomas:  Sighs 
  Marcus: Hey, are you getting nervous?
  Thomas: Trying not to.
  Marcus:  Chuckles  Well, I am. You know, I've never really done this modeling thing before. Being out there on that runway just, uh, kinda got my palms a little bit sweaty.
  Thomas: Dude, Marcus, you were great in rehearsal. You in that suit--you-- you're gonna knock them dead. You kidding?
  Marcus: Well, I hope so, Tom. I mean, I really want this to be a big smash for you, Man.
  Thomas: Thanks, Marcus.  Chuckles  Man, people need to stop leaving.
  Rick: Thomas, stop stressing, okay? It's gonna be packed.
  Thomas: It better be. I-I-I've worked way too hard on this line for it to be upstaged.
  Rick: You do understand why things were moved up the way they were.
  Thomas:  Sighs  Don't get me wrong, Rick. I-I'm glad we were able to throw things together and pull the rug out from underneath Amber, but it's frustrating. I just thought today was gonna be about me for a change. Okay, I'm--I'm not gonna let this be a big deal. I'm just gonna-- I need to go out there and remind 'em why, you know, they came in the first place.
  Marcus: Hey, look, no problem. Now what you're gonna do, you're gonna go out there, and you're gonna wow them with charm, all right? Now that's what you do.
  Thomas:  Chuckles  Oh, I'm gonna wow them all right. You'll see. They're gonna be talkin', that's for sure.  Sighs
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: Taylor, I'm so glad you came.
  Taylor: To my son's premiere? Of course. I wouldn't miss that for the world.
  Brooke: Well, you told me how you feel about me working with your son.
  Taylor: I'm very proud of my son. I'm very proud of him. I've told him that. I think this new men's line is going to be amazing. If you have to be a part of it, then I guess that's the way it is.
  Whip: Great job with, uh, with Hope's line. You guys really knocked it out of the park. I had no idea what Amber was doing, by the way.
  Brooke: I know. Thank you, Whip.
  Taylor: Not that I was comfortable with it at all.
  Whip: Taylor.
  Taylor: Well, I'm not.
  Brooke: Okay, what can I do to make it better?
  Taylor: Don't be a part of it.
  Brooke: I am not walking away from the men's line. I already told Thomas I would help him.
  Taylor: Well, Brooke, it's only just been a few weeks since your last scandal, so since it's all like clockwork with you, you're due for another one any moment now, and I don't want my son involved in it.
  Brooke: That's crazy. What do you think's gonna happen?
  Taylor:  Scoffs  With you? Anything goes. Anything--that's the problem.
  Whip: It's okay. Come on. Just relax.  Sighs 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: I feel like I've been so worried about you getting down on yourself, but then I see you smile...  Chuckles 
  Oliver: How can I not smile when you're around?
  Hope:  Chuckles 
  Oliver: Not that I haven't made some big, hairy mistakes.
  Hope: Well, everyone's made mistakes.
  Oliver: I didn't exactly not water the plants.
  Hope: Well, true. Yours were slightly more epic.
  Oliver: But you forgave me because you have a big heart.
  Hope: Yes, I do.
  Oliver: The biggest I've ever seen.
  Hope:  Chuckles 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: I just spoke to Jake. The stage is ready.
  Thomas: Great. So we're good to go?
  Brooke: Looks like it.
  Thomas: Well, awesome. You want to gather the troops?
  Brooke: I think you should.
  Thomas: Okay. All right, everybody, gather around, please. Please hurry up. Now today is a big day for Forrester Creations. Not one but two of our lines will be making headlines.
  Pam: Yes!
  Man: All right. Yeah.
  Thomas: Now they're a bit restless out there, thinking they've seen the best we have to offer, but they're mistaken. We're gonna get them up and out of their seats, pumped and excited.
  Pam: Yes!
  Brooke: Yes! All right!
  Thomas: All right, let's do this.
  Pam: Okay. All right!
  Man: Let's do it. Let's do it.
  Eric: Come here.
  Thomas:  Sighs 
  Ridge: I'm proud of you.
  Thomas: Thank you, Dad.
  Ridge: Go out and knock 'em dead.
  Thomas: Thank you. Thank you, everyone. My name is Thomas Forrester. And as the designer for the new men's line, I am very proud to be introducing the second half of our show.
  Thomas: Now I sincerely appreciate your patience. This was supposed to be the main event. But necessity required a change. I think you all agree that Hope for the Future will be one of our most popular Forrester lines ever. Well, good news. You're about to preview another. Our reenergized men's line will blow you away. It--it's focused on Brooke Logan's original concepts, uh, from the past years-- innovative styles, bold new lines, and a distinctive departure from the traditional business suit. I've had a great opportunity to have Brooke's input. She has been extremely invaluable. And I couldn't have done this without her. And at Forrester, we want our men to be hot, and they will be. So, ladies and gentlemen, get ready to witness something unlike you have ever seen before-- the new men's line by Thomas Forrester.

  Brooke:  Mouthing words 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: We've been through a lot together.
  Oliver: And yet, we're still here. Nobody died.
  Hope:  Chuckles  More good times than bad I think.
  Oliver: You really feel that way?
  Hope: Yeah, I do.
  Oliver: You know, I got this gig at Forrester because of you.
  Hope: I just made sure your music got heard. That's--
  Oliver: You got me in the door. You did that for me.
  Hope: And I never regretted it.
  Oliver: Not once?
  Hope: Nope, not once. We did really great things together on this Hope for the Future campaign. I mean, we're gonna get a lot of publicity. Who knows? Maybe you and I will be like the next dynamic duo at Forrester.
  Oliver:  Chuckles 
  Hope: It's incredible where life takes you sometimes.
  Oliver: Incredible.

  Katie:  Chuckles  Whoo!  Chuckles  Babe, pay attention. Doesn't Marcus look great?
  Bill: Yeah, beautiful. Take a look around. In case you haven't noticed, no one cares, including me.
  Katie:  Sighs 
  Taylor: These are good, right? Or am I just being a mom?
  Whip: No, no, no. They're--they're fine. Really. They're okay. I just wish he didn't have to follow Hope's premiere. He would have had a much better reaction otherwise.
  Taylor:  Sighs  You know, he worked so hard on this. I'm telling you.
  Whip: I know. I-it'll be okay, as long as he follows my advice. He's gonna have to get the audience responding, get their jaws dropping.
   Applause 
  Whip: And he's gonna have to do it soon.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Thomas: Marcus, Dude, you blew it up for me out there. Thank you.
  Marcus: I do what I do, Man.
  Eric: Let me see you. Let me see you. You looked good out there.
  Thomas: Max, where are your pants? Rick, can you get the pants? We're comin' up on the end of the show, and I-I'm still not ready.
  Rick: Sure. Come on.
  Thomas: Thank you.
  Brooke:  Sighs  You seem a little stressed. Don't be. Everything is going well.
  Thomas: Yeah, not well enough, and you know it.
  Brooke: Well, then it's time to pull out the big guns. Aren't you the guy with the mysterious plan?
  Thomas: Well, you're still with me on this, right?
  Brooke: I said I would be. It would help if you'd give me a clue what it is.
  Thomas: Nah, it wouldn't be the same. Trust me. Just promise me you'll go with me on this, okay?
  Brooke: I promise.  Chuckles 
  Thomas: Thank you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Oliver: You have no idea what this does to me when I'm close to you like this.
  Hope: Well, I don't want to send any mixed signals.
  Oliver: Why not? You've got mixed feelings.
  Hope: Oliver, I felt so much for you. You know, I-I can't just turn that off. I'm not wired that way.
  Oliver: Yeah, me either. I bet when you were younger you'd find, like, abandoned cats and little injured birds and nurse them back to health.
  Hope: Yeah, I did that a lot, actually.
  Oliver: 'Cause when you see a creature in distress, you want to help them.
  Hope: Oliver, if you're asking me to rescue you--
  Oliver: No, you already did by blowing Amber out of the water. You saved me from ruining this entire company. You were a huge hit, and I saved my job. I am so lucky because of you.
  Hope: I feel the same way. Oliver, after everything that we've been through together, and after all we've accomplished, I can't imagine my life without you, and I don't want to.
  Oliver: Well, your dad didn't fire me. You're stuck with me. You know what I think? I think that our lives are tied together...
  Hope:  Chuckles 
  Oliver: You know? That no matter what happens, we're gonna cross here and there and everywhere. You changed me. I changed you. I screwed up, and you forgave me, but now we can move on. We can look towards our future.
  Hope: Oliver, I--
  Oliver: Hope, hold--let-- just let me finish, okay?
  Hope: I...  Sighs 
  Oliver: Our future together is gonna be so great. And I am gonna love you like no guy has ever loved anyone ever before. And I'm gonna be there for you. It's not over for us, Hope. It's never gonna be over for us.

  Ridge: Thomas is next.
   Techno music playing 
  Whip: He's gotta do better than this.
  Eric: Ladies and Gentlemen, Thomas and Brooke Forrester.
  Audience:  Gasps   Applause   Cheering   Cheers and applause 
summary: Thomas tells Brooke to trust him and follow his lead. The press will definitely pay attention. He's going to wow them for sure. Whip says it will have to be really big to make the entire room of reporters forget Hope For The Future. Hope hugs Oliver when she hears that he wasn't fired and still has his job at Forrester. She thinks they might be the next dynamic duo at Forrester. He kisses her and says he has not given up hope. They will be together again. Thomas makes his speech and introduces the men's line. Basically the audience is bored and not raving as Thomas expected. Brooke innocently tells him that it's time to pull out the big guns. Thomas takes his final turn down the catwalk and then motions for Brooke to come out. When she joins him, he dips her and plants a big kiss on his step-mother. She is caught by surprise with a dumbfounded look as well as most of the reporters.
