Lindsey. She’s the first thing I think about everyday. How is she? Does she miss me like I miss her? How do I get her back? And then another day without her begins.
Brooke
Brooke. Oh My God, I have to pee!
What day is it? What time is it? What the hell did I drink last night?
Hm, Millicent, you smell so good. I have to go to work. Sure I guess I could be a little late. What do you mean I’m fired. I wasn’t even that late. How am I going to pay my rent? Would you like fries with that sir?
Jamie. God my girl's hot.
So you got her a purple monkey, huh? Just like you had.
Brooke
You remember that?
Of course, I do know some things about you, Brooke Davis. And you’re gonna be a great mom.
Brooke
You think she’ll like the purple monkey?
I think that she’s gonna love the girl that gives it to her.
Brooke
And anyway, Angie is scared of her creepy Aunt Peyton, isn't she? Yes. We like Uncle Lucas better.
Brooke
I'm kidding. [To Angie] We're kidding, aren't we? Yes.
I mean it is pretty great that he's helping out. Its kind of Mr. Mom, but its nice.
[Lucas is dialing a number from his phone ... Peyton, Brooke and Lindsey all pick up theirs]:
Brooke
Hello?
Hey, it's me. Look, I'm at the airport. I've got two tickets to Las Vegas. Do you wanna get married tonight?
OMOld man
three simple cards, three beautiful ladies, real simple, son, all you gotta do is pick one
OMOld man
Just follow the heart.
Brooke
Hey, handsome. These are for you, for our one year anniversary!
um.. Brooke, I'm your husband. I'm supposed to give you flowers.
Brooke
I know. But I wanted to make sure I'd like them.
Brooke
Well?
Brooke
Thank you husband, I love them.
Brooke
Of course. I miss our friends
Yeah, Jamie's getting big. We never see him.
Brooke
I know. But you have the book tour and I have the company and I think he understands.
What about all that travel? I mean,I am proud of you and all, but it just sucks that we're apart so much
Brooke
I know. Makes coming home kind sexy though.
Hey,I do love you, Brooke Davis
Brooke
And I love you, Lucas Davis ... Scott
Brooke
And I'm gonna love you more when I see exactly what it is you got me for our anniversary
You're gonna love that... whatever it is. Happy anniversary!
[Kiss]
Brooke
Thank you!
[Peyton jumps on the bed and falls on Lucas as a maid walks in]
MAMaid at Hotel
Oh excuse me!
It's okay we're getting married! [maid leaves] Um okay, so you know how you said our wedding should be a dream come true?
Now, I know I never wanted my wedding to be princess for a day but,I would like it if your mom was there and [cell phone ringing] It's Brooke, can I tell her?
Sure, you can tell her we're coming home for the ceremony.
[Peyton squeals as she answers her cell phone]
Brooke
Hey, you didn't come home last night?
Oh yeah, that's cuz I'm in LA with Lucas, and we want you to be the first to know, we're getting married!
Brooke
Who is it
Brooke
Hi, Nate. Come in. It’s a tough day, huh?
Brooke
I wish there was something I could do for you or Haley or Jamie.
Well, actually we were wondering if there’s anything we could do for you.
Brooke
How do you mean? Why me?
We know that your mom has been pulling some stuff with the company, and I don’t know, I guess having dealt with parent insanity I wanted to check your head. See how you’re doing.
Brooke
I’m fine. Really.
That sounds like something I would say. Look, this thing with losing Quentin, it-it’s hard. And I have a feeling its gonna be a pretty prominent thing in our lives for a while, but that doesn’t mean that your problems are any less important, that all of us aren’t here for you.
Brooke
Look, like I said...
You’re fine. You can handle it. Its all good. Look, I hope that’s true and maybe it is but the thing is, the two of us have been down very similar roads. We were in the same cliques first, we both felt the same pressures, the same expectations. Our parents were like children and we both grew into kind of bad versions of ourselves way too fast. So I think you know I get it.
Brooke
They never really gave us a chance did they? Our parents?
They didn’t know how. Look, the thing is, you made your dream happen, alright? And even though I didn’t quite get there, when it was taken away from me I dealt with it alone. That was stupid, selfish, and wrong. So if your mom tries to take your dream away from you and you feel the same pain I did, I’ve sorta been there, okay? And I’m gonna be kind of pissed off if you don’t come talk to me about it. Anyway, thank you for coming today. It means a lot. I know you didn’t know Quentin, but it doesn’t surprise me that you’re thinking of other people when all this stuff is going on with you. That’s not bad for a girl who never had a chance. Come here.
They say we leave this world just the way we came into it - naked and alone.
So, if we do leave with nothing, what, then, is the measure of a life? Is it defined by the people we choose to love?
Or is life simply measured by our accomplishments?
Brooke
And what if we fail? Or are never truly loved? What then? Can we ever measure up?
Or will the quiet desperation of a life gone wanting drive us mad?
Brooke
I caught a young girl shoplifting the other day. I was pretty hard on her.
PPsychologist
Did you feel threatened by her?
Brooke No, I actually felt myself feeling jealous. I realize I let company matter too much. You know, we spend all this time building something up, And then we don't enjoy it. We just sit there, terrified that someone is gonna take it away from us. And there was this girl, and she didn't answer to anything or anyone. And that made me jealous.
PPsychologist
What are you going to do about that, with regards to your company?
Brooke
Well, it doesn't matter, I don't have to worry about Clothes Over Bros anymore.
PPsychologist
And why is that?
Brooke
I gave it all away. I signed the company over to Victoria. Do you think that I was foolish to give my company to my mother?
PPsychologist
Do you think you were foolish?
Brooke
Do you always answer a question with another question?
PPsychologist
Does it bother you? In my humble opinion, it was never going to be your company, as long as she was part of it.
Brooke
After I did it I felt great. At first, I felt liberated, but now I just feel kind of empty. Everything that I worked for is gone. I just have this store. And even that's empty now.
PPsychologist
That freedom you were jealous of can be scary sometimes. Have you talked to anyone else about it?
Brooke
No. I saw my best friend today, and I couldn't bring myself to tell her.
PPsychologist
Why do you think that was?
Brooke
I don't know. I feel a little...a little bit like I failed. You know? I am watching all my friends move on with their lives: Haley and her family, and Millicent is moving to be with Mouth, and Peyton with Lucas and they are all moving forward. And it's like I am stuck here, standing still, and...
PPsychologist
Brooke, you're 22 years old and the founder of a multi-million dollar corporation. I'd hardly call that standing still.
Brooke
But it's gone.
PPsychologist
You will do something else. You are intelligent, you are creative. You will figure it out. But that's not the real question.
Brooke
Then what is?
PPsychologist
All you have talked about is your work, Brooke. But when you mention your friends being happy, you define happiness strictly in terms of relationship and family. The question is, why are you so insistent on going through life alone?
I need a dress! And if it helps, I promise to pay full price. Is my best friend down?
Brooke
Sure. Do you want the Lindsey Strauss tear-away train? It's what all the runaway brides are gonna be wearing this season.
So not funny. No, I was thinking something like nontraditional, you know? Like rocker-glam-chic, kind of like, Stephanie Seymour dress she wears in the Guns n' Roses video.
Brooke
Skanky. I can do that.
Who peed in your cheerios?
I know there’s nothing I can say other than, ‘I’m sorry.’ I do these stupid things sometimes. I really am sorry though. You were nice to me, but I’m just not worth it.
Brooke
And where do you think you’re going...You’re grounded
You’re not kicking me out?
Brooke
No and I hope that someday, you stop acting surprised when you hear that
