[ Knock on door ]
Stephanie: Jack.
Jack: Stephanie. Hi. Thank you.
Stephanie: When did you get in?
Jack: Oh, about an hour ago. I was supposed to go straight to Ridge and Taylor's, and I -- well, the thought of that house and -- those children and Ridge. And I just -- I -- I -- I'm not ready. I'm not ready, Stephanie.
Stephanie: I understand. I understand.
Jack: I can't believe my little girl is gone.
Stephanie: Let's sit down, have some coffee. You want to ride to the funeral with me? Yes, yes. Thank you. Ridge said it's just going to be a private ceremony.
Stephanie: It is.
Jack: I guess that means that Brooke won't be there.
Stephanie: Well, I don't know.
Jack: She better not be. I don't want that woman near Ridge or his family.
********************************************************************************************
Clarke: Do we have time to go over some fabric orders?
Sally: We'll do it later, Clarke. It's a little difficult to concentrate on business at a time like this.
Clarke: At a time like this, we have to do something. We can't just sit around feeling sorry for ourselves.
Sally: I don't think anybody's feeling sorry for themselves, Clarke. It's those little children.
Kristen: This has been quite a blow to our whole family.
Sally: I guess the only comfort is that at least Taylor had a chance to say good-bye.
Clarke: That's not much consolation to those three little kids who are gonna grow up without their mother.
************************************************************************************************
Ridge: Hey, guys. Can I talk to for you a minute? Sit down here. I just want to make sure that we all know what's going to happen today, okay? Grandpa Eric is down in the garden right now with the man from the funeral home. That man brought your mommy's body over here in a casket so that everybody could say good-bye to her. Okay? Is there anything that you want to do or say at the ceremony today?
Steffy: Can we sing?
Ridge: Yes. I think that would be lovely. I think everyone would really enjoy that. Good for you. Thomas, is there anything you'd like to do?
Thomas: No.
Ridge: That's okay, too. You don't have to do anything. I just want you feel comfortable and know there's no reason to be scared or embarrassed about what's gonna happen today. And I want you to remember that everybody here today is gonna feel as sad as we do.
*****************************************************************************************
Mark: Bridget. Hey. What are you doing here?
Bridget: I had to reschedule my lab. Taylor's funeral is today.
Mark: Are you on your way there now?
Bridget: Yeah.
Mark: Do me a favor. Give your family my condolences?
Bridget: I will. Look, I know you did everything you could. It's just so sad, those kids just have to grow up without their mother.
Mark: Well, at least they still have their father.
C.J.: Hey, there you are.
Bridget: Hi, sorry. I have to wait for the lab assistant to get off the phone.
Mark: Are you two going to the funeral together?
Bridget: Yeah. C.J.'s whole family is going to be there.
Mark: Well, I'm glad you're not going to be alone.
C.J.: Well, we better get going if you don't want to be late.
Bridget: Yeah. We should.
Mark: Listen, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Bridget: Thank you.
C.J.: Come on.
*******************************************************************************************
Stephanie: I don't know if Brooke is coming to the funeral. But Jack, she hasn't been a problem for Ridge and Taylor for a very long time.
Jack: Because Taylor kept an eye on her. Stephanie, that woman has caused my daughter more pain -- if she has any respect at all, she will give Taylor the peace that she never gave her when she was alive.
**********************************************************************************************
Ridge: Hey, Brooke.
Brooke: I guess I'm a little early.
Ridge: It's all right. We're still getting ready.
Brooke: Is there anything I can do to help?
Ridge: No, I think dad's pretty much got it covered.
Brooke: Okay. So how are the kids?
Ridge: I'm trying to help them. I'm trying to help them, but it's hard. Know what the hardest part is? Taylor would probably know exactly what to do right now. I need her now more than Ii ever did.
*************************************************************************************
Director: Mr. --
Eric: Oh, hi. It seems like everything is ready.
Director: Should I let your son know we're about to begin?
Eric: Yes. Please. If you would.
Director: He did request an open casket. I think this would be the appropriate time.
Eric: Yes. So do I.
Brooke: Your mother was a very special person. We're going to miss her very much.
Director: Mr. Forrester.
Eric: Yes?
Director: We're ready to begin.
Ridge: Okay, thank you. We'll be right down.
Thomas: I don't want to go.
Ridge: It's okay, Thomas. You don't have to. I think you're gonna be sorry if you don't, though. This is a very, very important day for our family. And I think everybody would love to have you there, but nobody's gonna force you to go. But I want you to know that I'm gonna save a seat right next to me for you, in case you change your mind. Okay?
****************************************************************************************
[ Mark remembering ]
Bridget: Those poor kids. They have to grow up without their mother.
Mark: At least they still have their father.
Margo: Mark? What are you doing?
Mark: I'm taking the job, Mom.
Margo: You're going to see him.
Mark: I might.
Margo: Sweetheart, listen to me. I know him. Don't do this. He's not worth your time.
Mark: He's my father, Mom.
Margo: He's going to disappoint you, because that's what he does.
Mark: I just want to talk to him.
Margo: Why? Why now? Why now? After all these years.
Mark: Because I finally have something I want to say. This has waited long enough. I'm here, and it's time.
*************************************************************************************
Amber: It's still so hard to believe that she's -- she's really gone.
Rick: It's okay if you want to spend a moment with her.
Amber: Yeah?
Rick: Yeah. Go ahead.
Amber: Okay. Taylor -- I want you to know that I'm never going to forget you and I'm never gonna forget what you did for me. You were one of the most generous people I've ever met in my life and -- I'm going to be -- I'm gonna be just as dedicated to my family as you were to yours. I promise.
**************************************************************************************
Sally: Oh, Jack.
Jack: Sally.
Sally: Oh, Jack, I'm so sorry.
Jack: Thank you for coming. Thank you.
Sally: How could I not be here? For you -- and for Taylor. She was such a remarkable woman, you know.
Jack: Thank you.
Sally: It was a real privilege to know her.
Jack: Thank you.
Tony: Please accept my condolences. Taylor had helped me at a time when I had given up hope.
Darla: She was a real inspiration.
Kristen: To all of us.
Jack:/Thank you all. Will you excuse me?
Tony: I'm sorry. Did I say too much?
Stephanie: No, Tony. Not at all. It's -- a difficult day for him.
Massimo: Yes, indeed. It's been a difficult day for all of us.
Sally: Yes.
Stephanie: Well, Mass. I'm glad you're here.
Massimo: Where else would I be? My family is grieving.
Massimo: He is my son, after all, Stephanie. I want to help him.
Stephanie: I know you do. I know you do. Believe me. But let's not get into it right now.
***************************************************************************************
Jack: You were the greatest joy of my life. You've made me prouder than I had any right to be.
[ Jack sighs and sobs ] I will miss you. I will miss you. But I know you're at peace now. You're family -- they're well. They're safe. Nothing will ever trouble you again. I love you, baby. I love you.
******************************************************************************************
Clarke: Uh-huh. No? All right? Well, the circumstances, I know you'll understand, okay? Wednesday at 1:00 is fine. I appreciate it, Donny. See you then. Thanks.
Mark: Excuse me. Mr. Garrison?
Clarke: Yeah, that's me. Something I can help you with?
Mark: Actually, I don't need your help. I just need your attention. Dad.
***********************************************************************************************
Stephanie: Jack. Calm down.
Jack: What the hell is she doing here?
Stephanie: Jack, calm down. Calm down. Calm down.
Jack: Look, Stephanie, she's all over him. It's the opportunity she's been waiting for all these years. Taylor's not even in the grave, and she's making her moves to Ridge. I'm not going to stand for that. It's sick!
Stephanie: Stop!
Sally: Will you look at her! That woman is absolutely shameless. Draping herself all over the bereaved widower.
Massimo: Brooke.
Darla: Taylor's father doesn't look too happy about it.
Stephanie: No, jack. Please. Calm down. Let me handle this, please. I just want you to think of your daughter, please.
Jack: She has no right to be here.
Stephanie: I understand how you feel, I do. I'll talk to her. I'll ask her to sit in the back.
[ Indistinct whispering ]
*********************************************************************************
Kristen: Are we ready to get started?
Ridge: Yeah. I guess so.
Tony: Should we take our seats?
Brooke: I'll be there soon. I just want to spend a moment with Taylor.
Ridge: All right.
Jack: What is she doing? No. Hey, hey. What are you doing here?
Brooke: Oh, Jack. I just want to pay my respects.
Jack: Respect? If you had respect, you wouldn't be here.
Brooke: What are you talking about -- what --
Jack: How dare you! How dare you come here after everything that you did to Taylor all these years -- the pain, the misery that you put her through. And you have the audacity to come here with Ridge? You're disgusting! Now, you've conned them. You've conned all these people. But you never conned me, you never conned Taylor. And Taylor would not want you here. I don't want you here. So go home. I mean it, get out!
