Setting: Tempo Offices
Benny: You know what your problem is?
Brooke: No, but I'm sure you're going to tell me.
Benny: You need some fun in your life.
Brooke: Sometimes I think I need another life. This one is too complicated.
Benny: Let's uncomplicate it; spend the day at the Jersey Shore. Cotton candy, Ferris wheel, the boardwalk. Just you and me. How about it?
Brooke: The old Brooke would make a thousand excuses why she couldn't go, but the new me says I deserve some fun, Where's my motorcycle helmet?
Setting: (On location at the Jersey Shore) Clips of Brooke and Benny strolling on the boardwalk, eating saltwater taffy, people watching)
Brooke: It's been a long time since I spent a day at the shore.
Benny: What about a night on the beach?
Brooke: Edmund proposed to me on the beach.
Benny: Sex on the beach huh?
Brooke: No, we went home to tell the kids about our engagement.
Benny: (Benny makes a face) How romantic. Instead of the kids, he should have started here, (touches Brooke behind the ear) and worked his way down.
Brooke: It was freezing on the beach.
Benny: That's what body heat is for Brookie, remember body heat?
Brooke, when was the last time that you made love just for the fun of it? No strings attached?
Brooke: With you all those years ago. (Takes his hand)
Benny: Yeah, I'm good with my hands.
Brooke: I'll say.
Benny: Let's watch the sun come up. What do you say? Just sit on the beach and talk.
Brooke: Okay, if you'll let me wear your coat.
Benny: You've got it.
(Clip of Brooke and Benny sitting together watching the sun come up).
Setting: (Brooke's secretary at Tempo, Brooke on her cell phone)
Secretary: Miss English's line, May I help you?
Brooke: Amy, it's me. I'll be in late today. Something came up.
Edmund: Amy, is that Brooke?
Amy: Yes, she'll be late today.
Edmund: Let me speak to her.
Edmund: Brooke, what's the problem?
Brooke: No problem here, I just need travel time to get back to Pine Valley.
Edmund: Where are you?
Brooke: The Jersey Shore.
Edmund: Are we planning a story about the shore?
Brooke: It wasn't a work related trip, but maybe we should do a story about the Jersey Shore. It has a beautiful sunrise.
Edmund: (Looking incredulous) Were you out all night?
Brooke: It's allowed at my age. See you soon. (Hangs up the phone)
Edmund: Brooke is losing her mind. She's acting like, like a teenager.
Amy: It sure is fun to watch. I remember thinking that she wouldn't recover when you broke her heart, but she sure bounced back. You did want her to bounce back didn't you Mr. Grey?
