document: Pilot: I radioed the tower and informed them there's been a delay. We have clearance to leave Puerto Vista as soon as they arrive.
  Massimo: All right, thanks, Jake. Well, hopefully Stephanie and Brooke will get here soon.
  Nick: I'll try Brooke's cell again. I should have never let her go off like that.
  Massimo: Oh, Dominick, listen -- she just lost her husband, you know? She needs some time alone to say her final goodbyes.
  Nick: I just wanna make sure she's okay. Come on, Brooke, where the hell are you?
  Brooke: I'm right here.
  Nick: Are you all right?
  Ridge: You bet she's all right. [Massimo gasps] And so am I.
  Sally: Well, my darling little girl, it seems to be the season of publicity and hype in the rag trade. I see Fenmore's department store has a couple of full-page ads pushing the season a little bit. They're advertising their pre- Thanksgiving sale. That's ridiculous. What happened to Halloween? I don't know. I don't get it. Everybody's rushing around, pushing things ahead. Doesn't make any sense. Wait a minute -- what's this? What is this? I can't believe this. What in the name of all that's holy is going on here?
  Ty: What's the verdict, boss?
  Oscar: You know, not bad for a rush job.
  Ty: And what about the radio spots?
  Oscar: I'll get amber on it. If she ever shows up.
  Amber: You want me to leave?
  Deacon: Look, I don't want to confuse my son. I think the longer you stay here, the more likely it is that's gonna happen.
  Amber: Confuse him? I am his mother, not some stranger!
  Deacon: Look, I know that. I know --
  Amber: Then why are you doing this? Huh? Why? Never mind, I know why.
  Deacon: Look, look -- you helped me out. You pitched in when Macy had her accident --
  Amber: You know what, Deacon? Your wife is in a coma. You need me here --
  Deacon: No, what I need is for you to leave. And I need you to do it before he gets back from school.
  Amber: You mean I don't even get to say goodbye?
  Deacon: I'll make sure he understands.
  Amber: Right. You'll have saint Bridget explain to him that his mother is such a shrew that she can't be around him anymore.
  Bridget: Amber, stop. Come on, you're still gonna get to see him. It's just not right for you to be living here.
  Amber: Oh, please, I am so sick of your meddling in my life, wherever it's concerned -- with my job, my kid!
  Deacon: That's it, that's it. That's it! Stop. Amber, I've made my mind up.
  Bridget: We just want what's best for Eric.
  Amber: I am. I -- I am what is best for him. Ask him. Ask him, he'll tell you! But that's -- that's never going to happen, is it? No, no, no, no. It's never gonna happen. Because, you know, of little miss goody-two-shoes, here. You know, you have butted in my life for the last time!
  Massimo: Ridge.
  Ridge: I know what a shock this is for both of you.
  Massimo: I can't believe it. [Massimo sobbing] My god! This is a miracle. I mean -- I mean, how did this -- we saw you go into the furnace.
  Ridge: Yeah, I know. That furnace had a door in the back of it for cleaning ashes out. And that woman, Anna, she was there.
  Brooke: She pulled him to safety.
  Massimo: What you've been through --
  Ridge: Hey -- what we've all been through. I owe the three of you my life. Not to mention $10 million in gold to my old man.
  Nick: Well, if you need a loan, I can help you out.
  Ridge: No, you've done enough. Brooke told me how you made good on your promise. Taking care of her when you thought I was dead. You're a helluva little brother, little brother.
  Massimo: Wait till your mother and Eric --
  Ridge: Where are they, anyway?
  Massimo: There was some trouble at Forrester, and Eric had to fly back right away. But Stephanie should be here any minute.
  Stephanie: Thank you, Jake. Is Mr. Marone on board?
  Pilot: He's inside with Nick.
  Stephanie: And is Brooke here as well?
  Brooke: I'm right here. And I'm not alone.
  Bridget: Hey, I figured you'd need these.
  Deacon: Good call. Thank you.
  Bridget: Oh, Deacon, it's gonna be okay.
  Deacon: Yeah? You know something I don't?
  Bridget: Would I lie to you?
  Deacon: You never have. Not that I can say the same.
  Bridget: That's true. People change.
  Deacon: I dunno, I guess we both have this past year. I don't -- I don't get it. I didn't think you'd ever even want to be in the same room with me. Here you are, rushing to my rescue. Again. Why?
  Bridget: I don't know. It's hard to explain. I guess -- I mean, deacon, we were married. And I loved you. And I think that regardless of everything that's happened, I'm always gonna care about you.
  Deacon: You know what I think one of my biggest regrets is? That -- that somehow I managed to miss this entire transformation from this innocent young girl that I met to this amazing woman that's sitting in front of me.
  Darla: Hey, Sal. What is it? Oh, god, no -- it's not Macy? Sally!
  Sally: No.
  Darla: Then it's me, huh? The baby. You're still angry, aren't you? Okay, I -- I can come back later. It's fine.
  Sally: Darla -- stay. Macy is going to need everybody who loves her around her now. Especially now.
  Darla: Why? What do you mean? See for yourself.
  Darla: Oh --
  Sally: Yeah. Yeah. You know, quite frankly, I really didn't believe that anybody could sink that low! But, obviously, they can. Obviously, I was wrong!
  Amber: Hey. Hey, Jeff, do you know -- do you know where Ozzy is? Do you know where he is? Is he around? Could you call him for me? Call him in his office -- 'cause I need to talk to him. Like -- right now.
  Jeff: Okay. No problem.
  Amber: Okay?
  Oscar: Let's get on that, all right? We don't got a lot of time. Hey, where the hell you been?
  Amber: Yeah. I'm late, but I don't need a lecture.
  Oscar: Okay, let's start over. I'm not the enemy, okay?
  Amber: Sorry. Sorry. I'm just -- you know, I'm -- I'm fed up to here, y'know?
  Oscar: What, you and Bridget go another round?
  Amber: She told Deacon I shouldn't be living there.
  Oscar: In his place with your kid?
  Amber: Yeah. Yeah, she fed him this bull about it's gonna confuse Eric. And Deacon bought it.
  Oscar: So he kicked you out?
  Amber: Yeah. Yeah, he cut me out of my little boy's life again. Not that I should be surprised. I mean, maybe -- maybe he's right. Maybe they're just all right. Maybe I really am just no good.
  Oscar: Amber, you're talkin' crazy.
  Amber: What do you care?
  Oscar: You know what? I don't know. But listen, Deacon might come around.
  Amber: I don't think so.
  Oscar: Oh, you don't think so? How do you know? Huh?
  Amber: Are you kidding? This is the story of my life. Okay? I mean, not that I ever get used to it. And how could I? You know, my dad, he -- he left when I was a little girl, so I just -- I cut off all feelings for him. And the same with my mom. 'Cause, you know, she just -- she would always just steer me the wrong way. And then my husband, he left. He left me, too. And now it's my little boy. My precious little baby. Deacon, he -- he won't let me be part of his life anymore, so -- god! How much more of my heart can I just rip out and still have any left?
  Oscar: All right. All right -- enough of this. Enough, all right? Hey, look at me. Look at me. You raised a good kid, right? Right? Well, here's the thing -- eventually, every parent's gotta let go. And I know, maybe this is a little soon. But -- yeah, okay. It is. It's a little soon. But the thing is, you were there. Right? You were there for the most important years of his life. So no matter what, you're always gonna be a part of him. No matter what Deacon or anybody says. And I know this sucks. It does. It sucks a lot. But I think you're gonna bounce back.
  Amber: How? Huh? It just feels like there's nothing left.
  Oscar: Oh! Nothing? What are you saying nothing? You got this job. Right? The big reopening. And let me tell you something, we're gonna have to hoof it if we're gonna be ready. And who better to lead the charge than Ozzz's promotions guru -- Ambrosia Moore.
  Stephanie: I just didn't know how I was gonna go on. Because all I could think about was the last time we'd been with each other. We'd been so angry.
  Ridge: Yeah, well -- we don't need to go there, do we?
  Stephanie: No. No. We have a whole lifetime to make up for that. And a lot more.
  Bridget: All right, you. You are going to eat this. Every last bite of it, do you hear me?
  Deacon: Were you this bossy when we were married?
  Bridget: I don't remember. I blanked it all out.
  Deacon: The whole enchilada, or just the part where I was a huge jerk.
  Bridget: Yeah, that pretty much was --
  Both: The whole enchilada.
  Deacon: I screwed up, didn't I? In ways I think I'm just starting to realize now.
  Bridget: I'm gonna go.
  Deacon: Oh, you got a hot date?
  Bridget: Not exactly.
  Deacon: Okay. Well, then, what exactly?
  Bridget: A little presumptuous, aren't we?
  Deacon: No, no -- a lot presumptuous. Because if you're going where I think you are --
  Bridget: Oh, come on, Deacon. I'll be fine --
  Deacon: And how many times am I gonna have to tell you --Oz Marone is nothing but --
  Bridget: I know, I know. Deacon -- I'm a big girl. Okay? I know what I'm doing. Besides, you're the one who taught me to look out for myself, right?
  Oscar: So you're still in, right? I can count on you?
  Amber: What if I'm -- what if I'm having second thoughts?
  Oscar: Well, if you're having second thoughts, then I'd say that I blew a wad on those business cards for nothing.
  Amber: Oh, great. Guilt.
  Oscar: That's right. Whatever it takes, right? As long you stick around.
  Amber: You really need me? You're not just --
  Oscar: Saying that to make you feel better?
  Amber: Because, you know, if that's the reason, I'm not gonna fall for it --
  Oscar: All right. All right. Fine, fine. You want the truth? I'll give it to you. Here it is, plain and simple -- I believe in you, amber. I do -- I mean, you come in here with a run of awesome ideas. You got crazy energy, talent out the wazoo. I'd be a crazy person to let you get away. What are you doing?
  Amber: What? What? Huh? A girl can't kiss up to her boss a little bit?
  Oscar: Okay. Okay. But I wanna tell you something about yourself you probably don't already know. You don't need to kiss up. Not with everything you've got going on -- forget about it. All right? So remember that next time you feel like trashin' yourself.
  Ridge: Well, maybe I should come back from the grave more often. If it means that --
  Stephanie: I should take my blinders off.
  Ridge: Seeing my wife in a whole new light?
  Stephanie: I've been awfully hard on you these last years, haven't I?
  Brooke: I gave as good as I got, Stephanie.
  Stephanie: I just couldn't accept the fact that you really loved him.
  Brooke: You thought --
  Stephanie: It doesn't matter what I thought. I was wrong. I was wrong about you. You never thought I'd say that, did you? I never thought I'd say it, either. But these past few days, I saw how much pain you went through when you thought you'd lost him. I just had to face it -- you really love him. So I made a promise to myself. I'm never going to come between the two of you again.
  Massimo: Good.
  Ridge: You gonna bury the hatchet, too?
  Massimo: Oh, ridge -- tragedy seems to bring a family together. I'd like to keep it that way.
  Ridge: Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't wait to get home with my wife. Start our life together. See our kids. Maybe have one of our own. Who knows? Could already be in the works.
