BY ELINA PART ONE & PART TWO & PART THREE & PART FOUR
STARTS.... We open up with Taylor standing there, at the front of her house. She is
looking over to the sea,holding Thomas on her arms. It is morning and the sun is about
torise. It colors the sea water allred, and it looks very beautiful. Taylor stares that
beautyness without seeing anything. 'Why', asksTaylor. 'Why', she says again. 'Why should
I go on my life like this?With a dump man, who keepsseeing her ex, and another man, who
keeps fighting with my hubby...with an old angry woman as mybest friend? And a sexy
millenium woman as my greatest enemy? And Iknow what I'll do....' Taylor goes inside. The camera has changed it's position. We see
Stephanie, who is standing on her balcony. She is looking down to the pool, where Rick,
Bridget, Amber, Kimberly and CJare talking and playing. 'Why did I invite them all here?
They make such a huge noise. I am so tired... Got a headache. But I thought that it would
nice to have some younger generation around...And how much I always promisedI'll be there
for Rick and Bridget so Ridge is free to go to Taylor,yes, it is my duty to call themhere
now. . they seem to do pretty well together. I didn't think theywould be that friendly to
each other, like Amber being pregnant and Kimberly and Rick whatsoever.But maybe they are
wiser than us old people, they are able to forgive and be friendly. Or maybe not...' says
Steph when she suddenly hears loud shouting from down below. 'Sounds like a huge catfight. I can recall the sound
of a catfight still, even that it's been a long time... I can still smell the blood in the
air. This house is full of memories. Funny how these memories come back to me right now. I
must get away for awhile. I can't stand all this stuff.' Stephanie goes outside, steps to
her car and drives away.Nobody notices her leaving.Camera moves. We see Brooke sitting in her office. She is lazily
going trough Ridge's new lingerie line creations. 'Well, well, Ridge is not at his best
these days.Earlier creations were a lot better. I have to tell this to him. Oh, it is so
cold today. I don't like this. I should go to some warm place. Maybe I could just do that.
This life here is getting so ridiculous. All this stuff with Ridge, and Taylor... why
should I be in the middle of their problems? I know, they blame me for being too sexy...
for trying to get to Ridge, I use this situation, use use use... I am tired of all this
stuff. Stephanie and Taylor telling me... Why should I listen?' Brooke puts all the creations down, and picks up the
phone. She starts to tap a number, a number tha tshe knows by heart, that has become so
familiar to her over the years. Suddenly she lifts her head and the phone falls on
thefloor. 'What am I doing? What help it would be? Why? Why am I doing this to myself?
No', says Brooke and goes to the door. She calls out for Megan. 'I won't be seen for a
while', she says. 'Would you please call Eric to go and watch the kids? They won't even
notice I am gone, but still...' continues Brooke and goes out of the door. She walks to
the street and stops a cab.Camera moves! Lauren is sitting on the table, in Eric's office. She
has a bottle of champagne and strawberries by her side. She is practisising a sexy smile,
looking at herself in a mirror. 'Hm, how would I do it, like this, mm, no, now this is
better. Heck, why, can't I smile sexy enough already?'She throws the mirror to the floor.
'Ups, seven years of misfortunefrom now on. I don't really care. What, strong faith power
courage love...' she shouts and jumps out from the window. She falls to a car, that has
stopped by there below. 'Hello hon, where do you wanna take me', whispers Lauren to the
young guy who is sitting on the driver's bench. Champagne bottle bursts it's content out
when they drive away. Camera view changes once again. It catches Macy, who
is sitting in her garden and looking out to the sea, with a wistful look in her eyes.
Suddenly there is a loud noise on the door. Macy wakes up from her longing dreams. It is
Sally, who is coming round for a little chat with her lovely daughter.'Well well well',
gabbles Sally. They start to talk. There is a knock on the door. 'Who's it again?'asks
Macy, looking puzzled. She goes to the door. It is Myles. 'Dad'says Macy. They all go to the garden. Only a part from the
conversation can be heard. 'But what about Kimberly, my sister?' 'Don't worry, she will be
fine. She doesn't need me anymore, she's found a better one to take care of her.She is a
big girl.' 'Oh but who takes care of her? What are you saying?' 'Hm, I don't know', says
Myles happily. 'For some reason, I am just not at all worried about her. And still, I am
not a bad father. You know, we soap opera people just don't have any feelings.''I know
what you mean', saysSally, after a while of silence. 'But shall we go off now? Isn't it
about time?' 'Yes, it is,indeed', says Myles. They leave. Camera's eye catches a new sight. Nothing is ignorant
to this camera...It will see all. It comes back to the youngsters, Rick, Bridget, CJ;
Amber and Kimberly out on the pool. They have stopped arguing, everything seems externally
fine. Looks like they never had a huge fight. 'Let's go and do something nice, shall we?'
shouts Bridget. They go upstairs. 'Oh, The Bold and the Beautiful is on! Have to watch!'
says CJ. They all sit down on the coach. 'This show is so unrealistic, don't you think?'
'Yes, really. They just talk about their relationships all the time.' 'Yeah, and they
change their partners all the time, get married and divorce.' 'And all kinds of bad things
happen to them, and they are just forgotten, like they could be okay just after that.'CJ
goes to the kitchen. After a while he comes back and has a bowl of popcorn with him. He
throws some into the air. They all start laughing. Camera moves! END OF PART ONE Camera sees Eric in his house, talking on phone. 'She
said what? Really? Okay I'll go there right away.' He puts the phone down. Suddenly Eric
starts feeling guilty. I haven't been there for the kids much...After all I am their
father. I guess Brooke is pretty angry to me about this. But she left... Left where? No
one knows, at least not Megan. But why?' Eric shakes his head. 'Well, it isno use. I don't
know why and what, I am just left here to deal with a couple of kids. I don't really care
though... I am not a bad father, it's just, well.' thinks Eric and takes his jacket, jumps
to his car and drives off to Brooke's place. He opens the door. No one is there.
'Strange... they are not here', says Eric.'But where are they then?' He finds a note on
the table. *Dear Mum, Stephanie invited us and some others round
to her mansion. We will be back home later* ' So it's good old Steph then! I have to go
and see what they are doing.' He jumps to his car again and drives off to Steph's place.
He goes upstairs and finds a terrible mess. There is a lot of popcorn on the floor. CJ and
Amber are dancing and Bridget is messing up with stereos. Kimberly and Rick play popcorn war. 'What do you think you are doing???!!!' yells Eric.
'Is this how your mother raised you to behave? 'No, she didn't. We are doing this all on
our own... this is no her fault and you should have raised us a bit too.' 'Well maybe
but... clean this mess right away! What will Stephanie say?' 'She is not here', continues
Rick. 'she should be telling us how to behave, but she is not so we can do what we want.'
'NOW...' shouts Eric. 'Come on Dad, don't be boring, it is nothing, we didn't do anything,
there's no mess in here!' says Rick. 'Yeah, Dad, we are just having some fun!', adds
Bridget. 'Really, it's nothing, this is just a soap opera, I'll just give Bradley a call
and he'll wipes all this out of the script.' continues Rick. 'You're right, son', admits
Eric and joins in the fun. He starts to dance as popcorn falls on him. Camera moves back to Taylor, who is inside her house,
just going out with Thomas and a huge suitcase. 'I decided to leave this life, I have
enough reasons to leave, and I will.' She goes out of the door and suddenly stops on the
stairs. 'What am I doing? Am I leaving or not? Am I leaving all this behind and moving on
with my life? Hell, no, I am taking all this crap and memories with me!' Taylor goes to
the beach again. She opens her suitcase. She picks up a photo and throws it into the sea.
She watches as it disappears to the waves. She picks up memories, one at a time...photos,
a necklace, ear rings, jewellery, a lipstick, a stocking, some recipes from the dinners
she has made for special people. She throws them all to the water. When the suitcase is
empty, she leaves it on the beach. Waves take it away but Taylor is not there to see it
anymore. A couple of weeks later a little boy on a beautiful paradise island finds the
suitcase. He goes and sells it and gets enough money to get his family a better life. But
that is another story. Taylor walks away. She goes the the railroad station.
'When does the next train leave?' 'To where?' 'Anywhere', replies Taylor and smiles. Camera moves on! It sees Ridge, finally, and he is a
really interesting case to view. It looks asthe camera likes him, and that's no
surprise...we all know how much this world turns around Ridge. Ridge is at his office. He
is busily working, sorting out his papers and such. He even spent the night at the office,
he is so busy. Suddenly he gets bored after all. 'Hm, maybe I could call my lovely wife
and take her to an early lunch.' He picks up the phone. (and he is not the first to do it
in this episode!) 'Strange. She's not at home. Where could she be?' questions Ridge. 'Oh,
damn, of course with that stupid man, Pierce. Taylor, she is spending too much time with
him. Well, I still have Brooke. I'd better take her back now, or I will get bored with
being married with the same woman too long time.' Ridge goes to Brooke's office. He knocks
at the door. 'Ridge, wait', says Megan. 'She's not there.' 'Oh where then? I have
something important to tell her. And I have to start now, since telling something
important always takes several episodes from me.' 'Well, I have no idea where she is',
says Megan and shrugs her shoulders. 'She just said she won't be seen for a while. Asked
me to tell Eric to watch the kids'. 'Oh, what am I gonna do now? How am I going to get
Brooke back if she is nowhere to be seen? I'll go and complain to Mum. She'll listen, she
can always count to ten if she can't stand me talking about Brooke otherwise.' Ridge
leaves. Megan watches whenhis back disappears and closes her eyes. She looks hopeless and
shakes her head. Camera moves.... what a surprise isn't it? We see two
people, standing behind some big house. A man and a woman, who don't look neither bold nor
beautiful. Where do they come from? Who are they? Camera changes it's position... and now you can see
two women, two forgotten women from the past. They are holding each others hands, looks
like as if they were scared to show up, wondering if they will be accepted. As camera
moves closer, you can see their faces... Jessica and Maggie. 'Do you think it is safe to
go back now?' 'Yeah, why wouldn't it be? Sheila is never coming back and Stephanie is with
James, if you just stay far away from him everything will be fine.' 'Yeah, honey I am more
worried about you. You know, Bradley wrote you off and now...' 'He has no control over me
anymore. He wrote me out so I have my own life and will. And you too, Mum, he can't make
you do anything you don't want.' 'Oh, but that means... I never have to go back begging
for James anymore! He is so boring, there are so many people in LA that are much more
interesting than him, and now I have gotten rid of him forever.' Yes, Mum, we are in
different situation as all the others here in LA. Someone else is controlling their lives,
we are on our own.' Camera moves once again. Now we can see Megan sitting
behind her desk. 'I don't like this', she says. 'I don't like this at all. I am just
sitting here in Forrester office and am supposed to say-Yes, Mr Forrester. Yes Mrs
Forrester and so on. -Someone is here and wants to meet you. Or something like that. I
have no storyline! That's not fair!' Megan rises and lifts her hand. 'I'm gonna break
free! I am joining Women's Rights right now! Oh, and you know what, I'll be calling Darla to join me! We can get our rights and not have
to live without a storyline anymore!' Darla arrives in a minute. She claps her hands, and
smiles, you know how she is when she is excited. 'Oh, let's go and do something right
now!' Megan and Darla, two forgotten women with no storylines leave together. They go to
the local women rights office and immediately join in a demonstration march, carrying some
signs with a text "We want a storyline!" Camera moves! END OF PART TWO Ridge goes inside Stephanie's house. He goes to the
living room. He sees all this same mess, that Eric saw when he came. He is as suprised as
Eric is. Or even more, if that is possible. He now can also see his father, who seems to
have gone crazy. 'Um... Dad, what do you think you are doing?' exclaims Ridge. Eric
suddenly stops his crazy dancing. and looks at Ridge. 'I am having some fun', he says and
it looks like as if he is a bit surprised, like the question would be crazy and not him.
Ridge says: 'But Dad, you are making a complete fool out of yourself!' 'Now son you be
quiet, if you'd see yourself sometime....' Ridge stares at his dad his mouth wide open.
'What are you talking about? Okay, I'll leave you here to continue your own foolishness
and go to do something clever.' Ridge leaves the room and goes to look for Stephanie. He
finally realises she is not there. 'I thought that they just didn't know or care whether
she is here or not. They seemed crazy enough to do so. But it seems mommy is not here.'
Ridge stops to think. 'Okay, she is not here for me either. What shall I do now? I can't
go to lunch with Taylor. I thought that Brooke would always be there waiting for me
whenever I happened to want to be with her. But now she is not. Hope she isn't with some
another guy... maybe she is getting married oh no if I am too late? Now, she couldn't do
that. And I have mostly been able to stop her wedding cos I know that only I am the best
for her and if I am not with her, she'd better stay alone. If mother would only be here, I
could complain and talk about this horrible situation as much as I want but... Oh, there
it is.... the thought of what shall I do. I know. I'll go to Big Bear now. I need some
time to think.' Ridge goes back to the living room, where the party is in full swing.
'Hey'. he shouts at the door. 'If anyone asks me, tell them I needed some time to think
and went up to Big Bear, especially tell this to Brooke or Taylor, I am so happy when they
come to disturb my thinking and beg me.' Eric and the youngsters hardly notice Ridge is
gone. They go on partying. Eric turns the music louder. Camera gets back to these two mysterious people. A
man and a woman, they look like they were from different world. Suddenly the spotlight
turns to them and you can realize who they are. Ruth and Adam, Stephanie's friends from
the time when she had lost her memory and wandered homeless in the streets... They are
still standing near to a big house. They go to the door. They look at each other, and
slowly nod. Adam knocks the door. There is no answer... They look at each other again.
Ruth opens the door. They go inside and upstairs, it is not difficult to find out where
everyone is. Music tells it all. MMMbop bababbab sings Hanson. Bridget turns the music
louder and louder all the time. Ruth and Adam enter the partyroom. 'Good day', says Adam
politely. 'We are looking for Mrs. Stephanie Forrester.' Eric stops dancing. (just when I
was having so much fun...what are these people for here? begging? they don't look like
they were any of my or Steph's snob friends.) 'Mrs Forrester is not at home', replies
Eric. 'But do join the party now! This party is welcome to all, we just want to have fun!'
Eric suddenly bursts out. 'Shall you dance with me?' he gently asks Ruth, and offers his
hand. Amber asks Adam to dance with her. They continue having fun. They have already run
out off popcorn, but it doesn't mattter. Camera.....moves. Jessica and Maggie are outside
James's house. 'Mum, what are we doing here? You said you'd never go back to him!' Jessica
wonders. 'But darling, of course we have to give him what he deserves', says Maggie. 'Of
course', sighs Jessica. 'You just never change.' They go inside. James is looking out of
the window, staring to the darkness without seeing anything. 'HELLO JAMES!!!!' they shout
happily... like two devils. 'What--- how--- umm....' stutters James. 'We just came to say
hello to you... You were such an important part of our lives for a long time!' says
Maggie, still smiling. 'Listen, I have heard the whole story. I left LA to get rid of you.
You were with Sheila and didn't care about me. Now you are with Stephanie... how often do
you really change your women? I think you have gone a long way and trough many women after
you lost your virginity. And what do you see in Stephanie anyway? A mother you never had?
No, I didn't come here just to be nasty.' 'Oh Maggie...I love you', says James. 'No, you
don't. Besides it is too late to say that now.' 'What, do you have another man?' James
gets disappointed. 'Listen Maggie my love, Sheila is gone with my child, and is never
coming back. I have a feeling Steph just might not be around here anymore.' 'Wait a
minute, how do you know? No one in this script was supposed to know. Only us who don't
actually belong to this show.' says Jessica. 'Well, I just know', says James. 'But anyway,
Maggie, I have missed you.' 'Oh James honey, it is too late now. I am not a part of the
Bold and the Beautiful anymore. I don't have to get back with you, 'cos no one is telling
me so. I am in different situation as you. I know, James, maybe you don't want me even.
You just have to do what your script says.' 'No, Maggie, I really love you!' James
exclaims. 'No, James, I don't want you. And I am out of this story, and you are still in,
and two people from such different worlds just can't be together. And this has nothing do
with the script.' smiles Maggie. She takes Jessica's hand and pulls her out of the
door. Camera moves. Spotting Megan and Darla. Thy
have quitted in Women Rights. They both have a storyline. They are standing on a beach
near to Thorne's house. Darla walks to Thorne's door. 'Hello hon', she says when Thorne
opens the door. 'Darla', says Thorne. 'What are you doing up here?' 'I just came to visit,
I wanted to see you darling.' Darla steps forward. She puts her arms around Thorne and
kisses him. Thorne responses. He takes Darla on his arms and carries her inside. At the
same moment Megan rushes from the beach. 'No, no, he's mine, he's mine!' she shouts. 'You
little bitch! You are just using this situation to get him!' Darla shows up at the door,
and Thorne is behind her. 'What do you mean, "I use?"' I am not using anything!'
'I know, it just has to be said when two women are figthing about the same man', says
Megan. They start blaming each other. Thorne is enjoying every second. He moves between
the two women and kisses both, not at the same time though. Darla and Megan are also
enjoying the fight they are having. They get more and more nasty. 'Yes!!! We have a
storyline!' they both shout out happily. 'Yes!' Camera changes place. END OF PART THREE Ridge is in Big Bear, he has made a fire to the
fireplace and is now standing at the front of the window, looking out. He just stares,
without seeing anything. Suddenly, it looks a bit like he wakes up, and he goes out of the
door. Camera moves. There is still a party going on in
Stephanie's house, and it is never going to end. Now, besides, Eric, Ruth, Adam and the
youngsters all the other B&B persons who are still in LA have joined in. There are a
lot of people, a lot of laughing, happiness and having fun. Someone has also brought some
more popcorn. This party goes on, and on, like B&B, for years, as long as someone
stops it, and that is not going to happen. Camera moves... now it seems like it has found a whole new place, a whole new time... There are beaches and fig trees everywhere. The sun is shining, it is hotter than ever. Sure, there are beaches and sun in LA too, but this is not Los Angeles. It is a beautiful place, looks quite small. The viewer can decide where we are now. Suddenly, like out of nowhere, many people appear on the beach. They look quite familiar. They walk closer to each other, they are standing in a circle, all against each others. Ridge runs to the middle of the circle. He smiles. 'I knew you'd all be here! All the women of my life, and my family's life. And even my lovely brother and son! And who's that old guy there? Great, I have missed you all so much! You can't imagine how it felt to me when suddenly the world wasn't turning around me anymore.' They all stare at Ridge, and stare also all the others that have been involved with their lives over the years.. Just staring. Brooke, Taylor and Thomas, Stephanie, Lauren, Sally, Myles, Macy, Megan, Darla and Thorne.They look devastated, shocked, but also resigned. Suddenly a horrible scream goes out into air. It covers all the other noises. Nothing else but this cry, this cry of shockness, can be heard, from all the mouths of those who are standing in a circle around Ridge. 'NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO, not this again!!!! NOOO! AARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! THE END
