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?
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?
I caught a young girl shoplifting the other day. I was pretty hard on her.
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.
What are you going to do about that, with regards to your company?
Well, it doesn't matter, I don't have to worry about Clothes Over Bros anymore.
And why is that?
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?
Do you think you were foolish?
Do you always answer a question with another question?
Does it bother you? In my humble opinion, it was never going to be your company, as long as she was part of it.
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.
That freedom you were jealous of can be scary sometimes. Have you talked to anyone else about it?
No. I saw my best friend today, and I couldn't bring myself to tell her.
Why do you think that was?
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...
Brooke, you're 22 years old and the founder of a multi-million dollar corporation. I'd hardly call that standing still.
But it's gone.
You will do something else. You are intelligent, you are creative. You will figure it out. But that's not the real question.
Then what is?
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?
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.
Skanky. I can do that.
Who peed in your cheerios?
So, what, was it, like, love at first sight or what?
Pretty much. I mean, they met on tour, and I don't remember which one it was, but I remember that she fell for your dad instantly.
What about him? Did he like her right away?
Well,you know, they tried to play it cool, Like it wasn't a big deal. But it was. I mean, everybody knew that they re just meant to be together.
What could possibly be more important than Chicago?
My wedding. It's Peyton. We're getting married.
God I hate the woods.
I never meant to hurt you. Not then and not now.
I know. the thing is, I saw it coming all along. I just tried to wish it away. It wasn't fair to me or to you.
Well, I should go, I'm gonna miss my flight.
Okay. You forgot something. [hands the novel Comet to Lucas]. You know the first time we met right here. I told you I was pulling for the couple in the book. Goodbye Lucas.
[laughing]You think you can kill me? You can't kill me, I'm still here.
I already called the police. They're on the way.
So? What are they going to do? I'll get out and I'll come back.
Do you remember what I told you I'd do if you ever came near my family again? I told you I'd kill you.
But you didn't. I'm not dead.
Sure you are.[shoots Carrie]
