Transcript

00:00Party thing I never I never said anything about retiring you had your final show

00:05And that's what you called it over a year ago. Yeah, but you yeah, you'd never listen to a word. I said everything you say

00:12Now you gotta listen to us. This is good. You've taken upon yourself to to retire me

00:17Is that it taking upon myself because you've earned it? I don't accept it. I

00:22Need to talk to dad for a moment

00:30I

00:36See that you see that look that's pity. I don't need that in my life. I don't want that

00:42You can't do this rich. I will not be put out the pasture

01:01That didn't go over well

01:03To say the least

01:06You see how upset Eric was? Oui

01:10I mean I get that rich things he's doing what's best for his father but pushing Eric to retire

01:18It's just not his place

01:20I'm sorry. It's the surprise I had to jump in a call with a patient. Be glad you did

01:32I take it and go as planned

01:36My grandfather is devastated then

01:39What happened?

01:40He thinks we're trying to take the power away that he's losing control and it's leaving him no choice

01:46It's not exactly true. Well, he isn't exactly wrong either

01:50Wait, so where is he now?

01:52My dad told Daphne Carter and me to leave so they could speak privately

01:56Just the whole thing is just so terrible

02:01Oh my god

02:03These are my grandfather's designs

02:05Wait, well, how do you know there is?

02:09Because nobody does couture like my grandfather

02:13Well, yeah, they're

02:15They're pretty amazing, huh?

02:21They're stunning

02:24No wonder my grandfather doesn't want to retire

02:28For you to put me on the spot like this

02:30You should have discussed it first with Eric at the very least

02:33Yeah, I

02:35They're giving me a heads up

02:37I have no plans

02:39To retire, you see that?

02:41That's what we're trying to help you

02:43Trying to show you how much you appreciate

02:46You're trying to thank me

02:49Is that what you're trying to do?

02:51Is that this is...

02:53This is what's best for me?

02:55You wanted to thank me?

02:57Eric, it's not that

02:59No, no, no, this...

03:00This...

03:01This was not the way, okay?

03:04You can't just bring something like this on Eric

03:07My god, Brooke, we were just talking about this

03:11And I told you how invigorated he is

03:14And how he wants to do the next line

03:17Were you even listening to anything that I said?

03:20We all want the best future for Eric

03:23This was all done in good faith, Eric, you have to realize that

03:27So, forcing me into retirement and finishing all the decades that I've put into this business

03:35That's what's best for me?

03:38Yes, it is

03:39Yes, it is

03:52Eric's been busy

03:54Truly

03:56This is almost an entire collection right here, it's completely flawless

04:01Quintessential Eric Forrester

04:04Elegance and sophistication

04:06How did he manage all this?

04:08This is my grandfather we're talking about

04:10No, I know, but you said that he hadn't been coming into the office much lately

04:13And hence why you thought he was wrapping up his career

04:16I don't know, maybe he was working like a maniac at home

04:19Wait, so you didn't know anything about this?

04:21This collection? No, I had no idea

04:24It's probably why he wanted to speak to Dad

04:27Steffi, the way that these are laid out and organized

04:30Do you think that this was supposed to be a presentation for Ridge?

04:35Oh my god, you're probably right

04:39He probably wanted to surprise my dad

04:42Only Grandad got the big surprise

04:45Could this have changed things?

04:47Would Ridge have asked Eric to retire if he'd seen these first?

04:51That's a good question

04:53I'm wondering the same thing

04:56You've been totally devoted, Eric

04:59We're just worried you're going to get worn out

05:03It's not like you're going to not be in this building anymore

05:05You're going to come and we're going to consult on things

05:08We're going to have lunch, it's going to be done

05:09Stop, I don't have lunch, I want to design

05:12Okay, we'll keep you active

05:14What makes you think we're not going to do that?

05:15Active is not sitting on a park bench some place, feeding pigeons

05:18Come on, listen to me, this is not

05:19Listen to me

05:20I founded this company with my blood

05:23This is mine

05:25Yes, Eric

05:26You've been amazing

05:27Nobody's discrediting what you've built

05:32You presented your final line?

05:35It was a mistake to call it that

05:36How was it a mistake?

05:37Obviously still wants to

05:38What's his crowning glory?

05:40I want to do it again, Rizal

05:41Oh, you want to do it again?

05:42You want to do it again?

05:43Who's going to pay the price?

05:45Look, we don't want you to get stressed out

05:49Okay, we are hearing that you care

05:52But you're not hearing how much he needs this

05:57Come on, Riz

05:59Ruck

06:01He still has more to give

06:02He still has more to contribute

06:04What are you doing?

06:05We're doing this for him

06:06We're doing this for you

06:08Right for you

06:11For me

06:14You asked me to run this company

06:18You asked me that

06:21So what, now I'm not ready?

06:23I am ready

06:25I am

06:26I am

06:39If we're lucky

06:40We'll all get to grow older

06:42And if we're really lucky

06:44We'll have our lives set up

06:45So we can retire in peace

06:47Someday

06:49Yeah, sitting in rocking chairs

06:50Holding hands

06:52Traveling wherever we want

06:54Yeah, see, that's exactly what I'm talking about

06:57Eric's next chapter in life sounds pretty great to me

07:00Yeah

07:01Dad just doesn't want him stressing out anymore

07:04Well, same here

07:06Eric is doing well now

07:08But, you know, why risk any setbacks?

07:11Exactly

07:13And Dad was coming from a loving, concerned place

07:16But seeing this

07:18Granddad's collection

07:20If Dad saw it, maybe he would change his mind about Granddad's retirement

07:26Is that in Eric's best interest though?

07:28Look, right now he's frustrated, delusioned, and it stings like hell

07:31But Steffi, as a doctor who literally brought Eric back to life

07:36I still think stepping down is a wise decision

07:40You're ready?

07:45I'm ready

07:47And so are you

07:49And it's time for a new generation

07:52And before you say anything, that generation is barely me anymore

07:56It's Steffi, it's Thomas

07:58Zende, RJ

08:00A whole family that wants to follow in your footsteps

08:03Take some pride in that

08:05Their success is your success

08:08Their showstopper is your showstopper

08:11It's just...

08:13You need to look at it that way

08:15Do I?

08:16You think I want to push you away? I think I want you out? I don't need you?

08:20I need you, we all need you more than ever

08:23But you know what I see when you start doing this?

08:27I see you in the hospital bed

08:29I can't do that again

08:31You can't do that again

08:33Is that what you want?

08:35You want to sit next to this hospital bed and wait for some miracle?

08:41See that you can have one more day with him?

08:43Take the day now, take it

08:46Take whatever day you want

08:48Just go and take a boat to the Greek islands, wherever you want to go

08:56That sounds...

08:58That sounds...

09:02Pretty wonderful

09:04I could do that, but I'd be back in a week, Rich

09:06I would be back in a...

09:07You'd be back? Why? No, no!

09:10You've built this company, it almost runs itself

09:13You've climbed a mountain, now take some time, sit on it

09:15Enjoy your life

09:18You really want me to retire that badly?

09:22Why do you do that?

09:25No, I don't... No, I just... No

09:28I just want... I just want you to be here

09:33But yeah, sure, why not now?

09:36Why not retire now? You did your final line, it was an amazing success

09:40The crowd cheering your name

09:43Isn't that what you wanted? What you always wanted?

09:46The... The young kid from Los Angeles

09:48Make a dent in the fashion world?

09:51You did it

09:53Can't talk about Armani or Valentino or Boss without talking about you

09:58That's extraordinary

10:00So I don't...

10:03Want to see you walking on a precipice for... for... one more line

10:11You've done it!

10:13You did the line

10:15It was great

10:18And you want to be mad at me?

10:19You don't get to be mad at me for this

10:22You could only be mad at me if I didn't do this

10:25I don't want to... put you in jeopardy again

10:30I love you too much

10:32I love you too much

10:38Alright

10:43Alright

10:48We'll do it your way

10:54I love you too

11:00I love you too

11:06You míd on the Betty

11:12I love you too

11:17I love you too

11:19I love you too

11:22You and I love you too

11:25You love me too

11:26Oh, my God.

11:55I wish that went better.

12:02My dad thinks I'm being selfish.

12:10Your father knows exactly how much you love him.

12:22I can't believe this.

12:23I mean, it took a lot of nerve to pull a stunt like this.

12:27This is a surprise retirement party, you know?

12:31My son doesn't even want to work with me.

12:33He doesn't want to see me anymore because I've slowed down a little bit.

12:37I've gotten old, but I'm pretty good for an old man like myself.

12:42Pretty good.

12:43Very good.

12:43Yeah, yeah.

12:44And this is my place.

12:45This is my value.

12:49This is my purpose here.

12:52And this company, I have a lot to offer this company.

12:56My company.

12:57Yes.

12:58Yes, of course you do.

13:00Of course.

13:00Look at this.

13:01Look at this.

13:01They want to throw me out.

13:03Throw me out on the curb like some old piece of furniture and an old pair of shoes.

13:07I mean, look at these drawings.

13:08Look at these designs.

13:12These are as good as anything else in the world.

13:14They're better.

13:16They belong.

13:17They belong on red carpets anywhere in the world.

13:21Paris.

13:22Paris Fashion Week or the Met Gala.

13:25These things.

13:25I can't even.

13:26I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I'm really starting to come into my own.

13:30Now.

13:30Only now.

13:32And these drawings prove it.

13:34Eric.

13:35This is some of your best work.

13:37Yeah.

13:38It is.

13:39It is.

13:39Why don't you show them?

13:42Stand up and tell them.

13:43No, no, no, no, no.

13:44Tell them what you've done.

13:45No.

13:46I don't want them to see.

13:49I don't want them to see these.

13:51I want these to stay private.

13:54Nobody gets to see these.

13:55These are mine.

13:57They're getting me out the front door.

13:59And.

14:00I'm going to take these with me.

14:03Because these are mine.

14:05I can't believe this is happening.

14:10Okay.

14:11Okay.

14:11You know what?

14:12I'm.

14:13I'm going to go talk to Brooke because I.

14:14I cannot stand seeing you so upset.

14:17No, no, no.

14:17No, no.

14:17Don't say anything to her.

14:21Don't say anything to anyone.

14:22Don't.

14:23Don't.

14:26I.

14:28Maybe it was just right.

14:29Maybe.

14:30Maybe.

14:30Maybe I'm finished.

14:31Maybe I am.

14:33Irrelevant.

14:33Eric.

14:36No.

14:36Why.

14:37Stop.

14:38Why doesn't he want to work with me?

14:42I'm still viable.

14:43My brain is still working.

14:44My.

14:45My.

14:46My eyes.

14:47My hands.

14:50I can't turn it off.

14:51I.

14:52I.

14:52My brain goes crazy all night long.

14:54I can't go to sleep.

14:55I.

14:56I.

14:56Can't turn it off.

14:57And they throw me a retirement party.

14:58They want to.

14:59They want to retire me.

15:01Donna.

15:06What am I going to do?

15:07I.

15:08I.

15:24I.

15:24I'm sorry.

15:40Don't do that.

15:43Don't do that.

15:46You're hearing that from everybody else tonight.

15:49I don't want to hear it from you.

15:50You're the last person I want to hear that from.

15:54I'm sorry.

16:01I don't mean to put all this on you.

16:05I'm sorry.

16:10It's okay.

16:12It's okay.

16:13It's been a really rough day.

16:21I'm going to need a minute.

16:24Okay.

16:27I'll just, uh, I'm just going to wait in the car.

16:31That's okay.
