You shouldn't let any of that influence you.

That's all. I just-- I wish Thomas would

but still finds time to meddle in our lives.
>> Taylor: I'm so proud of her. >> Ridge: You're proud
of her for meddling? [ Taylor chuckles ]
>> Taylor: No, for who she's become.
I mean, she has accomplished so much...
not just here at Forrester, but in her-- in her life,
in her-- in her family. I was worried about her for
a long time, Ridge. She was
stuck in that cycle with Liam. The same one she watched
growing up with me and you for so long.
Still watching-- >> Ridge: Here we go.
>> Taylor: Well, it's true. It sticks.
She watched it as a little girl and then she got into it.
The same thing with Liam. I'm not worried
about her anymore. She found Finn.

"If she truly changed," you really believe that?

You know. I'm cautious any time

>> Ridge: She shows up at your office and she wants
to talk. About what? What are you-- She must have
an ulterior motive. She must have something
like that, right? >> Taylor: See,
that's the thing. I don't know, Ridge.
I-- I know that she seems really happy about us,
about the possibility of you and I getting back together.
>> Ridge: Stop. Wait, wait, wait.
She seemed happy? >> Taylor: No, she--

she's a mean, nasty woman. She's selfish.
>> Taylor: What could it be? Could-- could Sheila benefit
from us being together for any reason? No, right?

So I want to see people change. I believe that
people can, Ridge. >> Ridge: I know.

unicorns and... gold at the end of the rainbow.

>> Ridge: Can we just be serious for a second?
>> Taylor: I am serious. Unicorns are harmless.

make a joke about it, Ridge. I know

You did this for yourself. You did this because
Brooke put her foot down about Hayes being in your life.

Because the outcome is the same. Ridge
left Brooke for your mother. >> Steffy: And I'm supposed
