document: Taylor: Oh, I am so glad to have you home, Phoebe. I missed you so much...
  Phoebe:  Sighs 
  Taylor: And Steffy said that you're moving back, you're moving back home?
  Phoebe: Uh, we'll see. I mean, the tour's over, and Constantine wants to take a break, so...
  Taylor: Wow. Was--was that really strange singing to a huge crowd like that? I don't think I could ever do that. I couldn't--
  Phoebe: No, it was-- it was fun.
  Taylor: So do you think, um, Constantine's going to ask you to do the next tour?
  Phoebe: Uh...  sighs  probably. I mean, I wasn't always available to rehearse, because I was off promoting the Phoebe fragrance in every city, and he was very forgiving, but I think maybe next time, he'll want a singer who will be entirely devoted to the show, you know?
  Taylor: Oh, no. No. No way. He won't settle for anything but the best. I-I'm just--I'm so happy to have you home. I can't tell you how much we've missed having you here, and it just doesn't feel like home without you here.
  Phoebe: Well, it's gonna be a lot easier to live here now that Rick isn't sharing your bed.
  Taylor:  Scoffs 
  Phoebe: Come on. Don't look so shocked. You had to know the real reason I haven't been here.
  Taylor:  Sighs 
  Phoebe: It hurt too much to be with you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: You know, I want to talk to Rick and invite him to our rehearsal dinner.
  Ridge: Not a good idea at all.
  Brooke: Why?
  Ridge: Because he's too stubborn, Logan. You're not gonna convince him to be okay with us before the ceremony happens. It's... I'm sorry. If he's not gonna support us during this time, he's not welcome at the party tonight, and he's definitely not welcome at the wedding tomorrow.
  Rick: You think he'll make you happy this time, Mom...  inhales deeply  but he won't.  Slams pen down on desk   sighs  I cannot let this happen. I cannot let this happen.  Sighs  I'm gonna stop the wedding.  Sighs 
  Brooke: I'm not telling my son to stay away from my wedding.
  Ridge: You want him to cause a scene?
  Brooke: No. He won't.  Sighs  Look, maybe if I could talk to him and get him to agree to come to the rehearsal dinner, he'd see the family gathered around us supporting our love. Maybe that would make a difference.
  Ridge: Look, if you go to him, he's just gonna start whining about how I'll never be good enough for you. Why start your day like that, hmm?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
   Cell phone rings   Rings 
  Ridge: Hello?
  Phoebe: Hey, Dad.
  Ridge: Hey, sweetheart. Hey, the connection's good this time. Where are you?
  Phoebe: Oh, this faraway place called Los Angeles.
  Ridge: Outstanding! Phoebe's here for the wedding.
  Brooke: Mm.
  Ridge: Hey, are you staying with us?
  Phoebe: Uh, well, from what I hear, you've got a pretty full house as it is. I'll--I'll be fine at Mom's.
  Ridge: Well, maybe it's better you spend some time with her anyway.
  Phoebe: I guess so.
  Ridge: Hey, are you there now? Can I come and visit?
  Phoebe: Uh, sure. Yeah.
  Ridge: Good. I'll be over as soon as I can. How great. I didn't know if she was gonna make it to the ceremony.
  Brooke: I'm glad for you. It's really nice that all of your children are going to be able to join the celebration.
  Ridge: Well, my kids aren't trying to break us up.
  Brooke: Ridge, he's my son. I want him there. But I just can't imagine that he won't be there on the greatest day of my life.
  Ridge: All right. Go work your magic, Logan.
  Brooke: Really?
  Ridge: Yeah.
  Brooke:  Laughs  Thank you.  Sighs  you won't regret this.  Whispers  I promise.  Laughs 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Taylor: Steffy and Thomas helped me talk to your dad, and...  sighs  tell him that we really wanted him to be back here with us and be a family again, a-and I wanted you to be here. I-I called you.
  Phoebe: I couldn't deal, Mom. I'm sorry.
  Taylor:  Sighs 
  Phoebe: You know, the whole time I was away, I kept telling myself that what you and Rick had was real, and I just needed to suck it up. Well, then I got that message from you asking me to fly home and help talk Dad into coming back to you. I mean, what were you thinking? Was I supposed to be happy that you got involved with my first love just so you could screw around with a younger guy for a few months?
  Taylor: I know. I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
  Phoebe: Mom, I don't want you to be sorry. I just...  sniffles  God, I just want things to be the--the way they were.
  Taylor: Is that possible?
  Phoebe: I hope so. He was my first love, Mom.
  Taylor: Phoebe, I don't know how but I will find a way...
  Phoebe:  Sniffles 
  Taylor: And I'll make this up to you.
  Phoebe:  Sighs 
  Taylor: Sweetheart, I did not realize that I was hurting you in such a horrible way. I had no idea. I am so sorry. I will regret that for the rest of my life. And I promise you, I will find a way to make it up to you.
  Phoebe: Okay.  Sniffles 
  Phoebe:  Sniffles 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: Hi, honey.
  Rick: Hey. So are you ready for your big day?
  Brooke: That's why I'm here.
  Rick: Now if you have some ridiculous idea of me reading a silly poem or--or God forbid, standing up for Ridge then--
  Brooke: I want you to stand up for me. I need your support. I want you to put aside your anger and come to terms with the fact that Ridge and I are gonna spend the rest of our lives with each other. Can you do that?  Sighs  we have a rehearsal dinner tonight, and Ridge has agreed to let you come.
  Rick: Oh, has he? So his royal highness has granted me entry? That's very kind of him.
  Brooke: Honey, I really want you to be there.
  Rick:  Sighs  There is no way in hell that I'm going to be there, Mom. Marrying Ridge is the worst possible thing that you could be doing, and I-I-I'm sorry. I cannot support that. So enjoy your dinner tonight and--and your day in the sand tomorrow, and please, be sure to call me when everything falls apart because only then will I be able to support you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Phoebe: Hey.
  Ridge: There she is.
  Phoebe:  Laughs  How are you? Mm.
  Ridge:  Groans 
  Phoebe:  Groans   Sniffles 
  Ridge: I am officially forbidding you from being gone that long ever again.
  Phoebe: Yes, sir.  Laughs 
  Ridge: I mean it. It's not the same without you around here. Where's your mom?
  Phoebe: Uh, she's in the kitchen making tea or something.
  Ridge: Hmm. That's the barrette I got you in Sydney.
  Phoebe: Oh, yeah. I wear this all the time.  Laughs 
  Ridge: You do?
  Phoebe: It reminds me of you.
  Ridge: Aw.
  Phoebe: You know, you gave it to me at a time when I didn't appreciate how you were trying to protect me, and I appreciate it now.
  Ridge:  Sighs 
  Phoebe: I'm sorry it took me so long to understand that.
  Ridge: It's all right. I'm just glad you finally do.
  Phoebe:  Laughs  I wrote a song for you.
  Ridge: What? Get out of here!
  Phoebe: I did.
  Ridge: Well...  Laughs 
  Phoebe:  Laughs 
  Ridge: Can I hear it?
  Phoebe: Um... well, how about tonight, that is if you'll allow me to sing at your rehearsal dinner?
  Ridge: I would be honored.
  Ridge: It means a lot to me to have you back here. I've missed my little girl.
  Phoebe: I've missed you, too, Dad.
  Ridge: After the wedding, I want to sit down with you and hear about all the amazing places you've been touring.
  Phoebe: Yeah, of course.
  Ridge: I do not want to come back from a honeymoon and hear that you're off singing in Helsinki for the next six months, okay?
  Phoebe:  Laughs  I promise. I promise.
  Taylor: Hi, Ridge. How are you?
  Ridge: Hey. Can you believe it? Our little girl's back where she belongs.
  Phoebe:  Laughs 
  Taylor: Yeah. It's about time.
  Phoebe: You know what? I'm gonna go unpack. I'll leave you guys to talk.
  Taylor: So did you stop by because you have something you want to discuss? I-I think I heard something about a honeymoon or a wedding or something.  Sniffles 
  Ridge: It's tomorrow, Doc. Brooke and I are getting married tomorrow.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: I'm sorry you think this is a mistake.
  Rick:  Scoffs  No, you're not.
  Brooke: Damn it, Rick, what do you want from me?
  Rick:  Sighs  I want you to be happy, Mom! Come on!
  Brooke: Open your eyes. I am happy. I am happier than I've ever been in my life, and that's because of Ridge.
  Rick: It is not going to last. Why can't you see that?
  Brooke: You know, I-I've been patient with you. I've listened to your pleas.
  Rick:  Groans 
  Brooke: I've listened to your theories about the ups and downs of our relationship, and you know what? Some of that is true. You spent most of your childhood growing up watching Ridge and me break up and get back together again, so I respect your insight on what our relationship was.
  Rick: Oh, you do not respect my insight.
  Brooke: Stop it! I am not that woman anymore, and Ridge is not that man, and Hope and R.J., They are not you and Bridget. I love you. I am so proud of you. I mean, look at everything that you've accomplished. You are walking again. You're president of Forrester Creations. These are the things in your life...
  Rick:  Sighs 
  Brooke: That you should be enjoying, not worrying about me. Don't wish the worst for me, Rick. I know it's gonna work this time. I just know it. So please...  sighs  just be happy for me.
  Rick:  Sighs  So you're asking me to close my eyes and just allow you to walk into yet another disaster with this man?
  Brooke: Yes.  Laughs  yes, that is exactly what I'm asking.
  Rick: Well, then I'm sorry. I can't do that. I told you this before, and I'll tell you it again-- I will never support your relationship to Ridge, never.
  Brooke:  Sighs 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Taylor: Well, congratulations.
  Ridge: I know you were hoping the two of us might get back together and...
  Taylor: Well, I think I've been through this before, but no, you're right. I did kind of have my hopes up.  Sniffles 
  Ridge: Can you let that go? Doc, can you, uh, promise me you'll move on?
  Taylor:  Sighs  I don't know. I guess I can if you would, um, promise me something.
  Ridge: Okay.
  Taylor: Since we have phoebe back home, it--I just wonder if we could still take this opportunity to bring some stability to the family. And I know you're with Brooke, but you know, like--like we did when you came over, and we played tennis, and we watched movies, and we all ate together and just...
  Taylor: I know there isn't a chance for us, but do you think you could just do that for the kids? If you could just come over here sometimes, and--and we'll all hang out and watch movies and play tennis? If you could do that for the kids?
  Ridge: Done.
  Taylor:  Sighs  You don't think Brooke will take an issue with that?  Sniffles 
  Ridge: No. No, she'll be okay.
  Taylor: Then, um, yeah, I can do it. I'll move on. I promise.
  Ridge: Would you come to the wedding?
  Taylor:  Laughs  No.  Sniffles  I don't think there's any time like right now to move on.  Laughs 
  Ridge: I'll always love you, Doc.
  Taylor:  Sighs   sniffles 
  Ridge:  Sighs 
  Taylor:  Sighs 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: We finally got it right, Rick. We're ready. We are committed. We're raising a family together. Ridge and I have discussed what it would take to succeed.
  Rick:  Sighs 
  Brooke: And I really wanted you to be a part of that, but I can see that's not going to happen. Ridge has done everything he can, and so have I, and I can see that you're the only one who's not budging here, so this is your problem, not mine. I fought Stephanie for too many years on this same issue. I'm certainly not gonna do it with you or anybody.
  Rick: So that's it? My opinion doesn't matter to you anymore, is that it?
  Brooke: No, your opinion does matter to me, but not your prejudices.
  Brooke:  Sighs  I am going to miss you tonight, and I'm most certainly going to miss you tomorrow at the wedding. I love you, honey.  Sighs  And I just wish I could have done better by you. I wish I could go back and change anything that--that you'd like me to change.  Sighs 
  Rick: Mom, wait.
  Rick:  Sighs  You were not a bad mother.
  Brooke:  Sighs  God, I made a-a lot of mistakes.
  Rick: You were a good mother, a great mother. I worshipped you as your son. I didn't want to share you with anybody, especially not Ridge. Look, any kid would be damn lucky to have you as their mom.
  Brooke:  Sighs   whispers  Oh, honey.  Sniffles   Normal voice  You don't know what that means to me. You can't know what that means to a mother to have her child's forgiveness and their love unconditionally.
  Rick: Well, you have that. Of course you have that.  Laughs 
  Brooke:  Sighs  Rick, tomorrow, I have the opportunity to have the most perfect day in my life. I'm gonna marry the man that I've loved for most of my life, and this time, it's gonna be forever. Now I know you don't believe that, but it's true.
  Rick:  Sighs 
  Brooke: Ridge is planning something really special. We're gonna get married on the beach, say vows to each other like we did so many years ago when you were just a little boy. It's just strange how it seems like all years just roll right into one. But I am your mother, and I love you more than life itself. So please, I'm asking you if you can just... be there for me, support me and--and love me? Help me celebrate this...  laughs  this amazing day in my life. I don't just want you to be there. I need you to be there.
  Rick:  Inhales deeply 
  Brooke: Please, Rick... can you be there for me?
  Rick:  Scoffs   laughs  Well, how the hell am I supposed to say no to that?  Laughs 
  Brooke:  Laughs  I don't know.  Crying  I don't know.
  Rick: I love you, Mom. For you, I would do anything. So yes.
  Brooke: Oh.
  Rick: Yes, I will be there.  Laughs 
  Brooke: Thank you, honey.  Sniffles  Thank you.  Laughs   Sighs
