1
00:02:22,180 --> 00:02:23,806
Casey?
2
00:02:26,245 --> 00:02:28,895
- Is there something wrong Mr. Bast?
- No, not at all.
3
00:02:28,964 --> 00:02:32,063
I was curious if you'd
started weighing college options.
4
00:02:32,133 --> 00:02:34,042
Options? Uh...
5
00:02:34,148 --> 00:02:36,604
Heard of the Helen Stoller
Physics Scholarship?
6
00:02:36,677 --> 00:02:37,692
No.
7
00:02:37,796 --> 00:02:41,507
It's given to a student from this state
who shows most promise in science.
8
00:02:41,605 --> 00:02:44,386
Wouldn't that be Ann or... Wyatt?
9
00:02:44,452 --> 00:02:46,307
No, it's you.
10
00:02:46,404 --> 00:02:48,675
You have a calling, Casey.
11
00:02:48,743 --> 00:02:50,979
I do?
12
00:02:51,079 --> 00:02:52,966
- What is it?
- Physics.
13
00:02:53,062 --> 00:02:54,469
Toast?
14
00:02:54,534 --> 00:02:57,151
- Uh... sure.
- You're very lucky.
15
00:02:57,222 --> 00:03:00,070
Most people search their
whole lives for their calling.
16
00:03:00,134 --> 00:03:03,712
- How do you know you have a calling?
- Your brilliant teacher tells you.
17
00:03:03,782 --> 00:03:07,328
And of course your 11 straight A-pluses
on exams is a hint.
18
00:03:07,399 --> 00:03:10,148
You'll need a letter from me
for the scholarship
19
00:03:10,214 --> 00:03:13,410
and think about a special
physics project over the summer.
20
00:03:13,478 --> 00:03:16,064
Something unusual but personal.
21
00:03:16,166 --> 00:03:18,622
Let them know you a little.
22
00:03:18,695 --> 00:03:21,444
- He says it's my calling.
- QED.
23
00:03:21,510 --> 00:03:25,471
How is this "quite easily demonstrated"?
You're as good in physics as I am.
24
00:03:25,542 --> 00:03:28,096
Not even close. I grind, you glide.
25
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:30,818
Event horizon.
26
00:03:33,191 --> 00:03:36,321
One day that guy will wake up
and realize he needs a math tutor.
27
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:38,366
And that tutor will be me.
28
00:03:39,142 --> 00:03:43,453
Figure out how to get us invited to
even one party and you win the Nobel.
29
00:04:01,927 --> 00:04:03,935
Hey, you're Casey, right?
30
00:04:04,008 --> 00:04:06,112
Uh-huh.
31
00:04:06,185 --> 00:04:09,533
Here's an invite
to my boyfriend's party.
32
00:04:09,608 --> 00:04:11,136
Wow.
33
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:13,630
You're in chem lab
with Julian Wilson, right?
34
00:04:13,768 --> 00:04:15,622
- Mm-hm.
- Can you give that to him?
35
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,607
Thanks.
36
00:04:20,009 --> 00:04:22,498
That was way inconsiderate.
37
00:04:22,601 --> 00:04:24,575
I love Mr. Bast.
38
00:04:24,681 --> 00:04:28,292
If he uncovered a scholarship
I didn't know about, he's a genius.
39
00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:30,662
And to think they pay him
almost nothing.
40
00:04:30,728 --> 00:04:34,952
The devaluation of teachers
in our society, it just...
41
00:04:35,050 --> 00:04:36,610
- It blows my mind.
- Mom.
42
00:04:36,714 --> 00:04:39,333
I'm back. Sorry.
43
00:04:41,162 --> 00:04:43,398
I have to figure out
what he wants from me.
44
00:04:43,465 --> 00:04:46,051
I mean, what is
a personal science project?
45
00:04:46,154 --> 00:04:50,976
Isn't the nature of science supposed
to be completely unbiased and factual?
46
00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:53,057
Now he wants the inner me, too?
47
00:04:53,162 --> 00:04:57,831
The whole secret of the study of nature
lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
48
00:04:57,899 --> 00:05:00,713
- You know who said that?
- I'm guessing it was a woman.
49
00:05:00,810 --> 00:05:04,552
That was written by George Sand,
a woman forced to use a man's name
50
00:05:04,651 --> 00:05:06,625
because she couldn't get published.
51
00:05:06,698 --> 00:05:08,674
- Mom.
- Okay.
52
00:05:08,746 --> 00:05:10,917
Anyway, I always tell my students,
53
00:05:10,987 --> 00:05:14,599
"You'll know your topic
when you learn how to use your eyes. "
54
00:05:21,130 --> 00:05:23,040
Oh! Oh, no...
55
00:05:23,146 --> 00:05:25,285
She had it locked up.
56
00:05:25,386 --> 00:05:29,414
I need to eat ice cream and all
your mother has is leftover tofu.
57
00:05:29,483 --> 00:05:32,299
- Can we go?
- Sh! Sh!
58
00:05:32,397 --> 00:05:34,535
Look at that recovery! Amazing.
59
00:05:34,636 --> 00:05:36,741
She'll still place.
60
00:05:37,931 --> 00:05:42,122
She's so precise.
I mean, down to the last...
61
00:05:46,156 --> 00:05:48,131
You know...
62
00:05:48,204 --> 00:05:52,426
I bet there is
an exact aerodynamic formula.
63
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:24,868
- What do you think you're doing?
- I-I'm...
64
00:07:24,944 --> 00:07:27,694
- Why are you filming skaters?
- For a physics project.
65
00:07:27,761 --> 00:07:32,462
- You're scoping her triple loop. Why?
- No, I'm analyzing her movement.
66
00:07:32,559 --> 00:07:34,632
- Who are you working for?
- Nobody.
67
00:07:35,568 --> 00:07:38,796
Teddy, will you come over here?
I'm gonna call the cops.
68
00:07:38,864 --> 00:07:41,450
No, I didn't think
it would be a problem.
69
00:07:41,552 --> 00:07:43,658
I thought this was a public rink...
70
00:07:44,624 --> 00:07:47,209
Private practice only
from six to ten.
71
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:50,246
These girls are training
for the regional championships,
72
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,589
which I think you perfectly well know.
73
00:07:52,688 --> 00:07:55,950
No, I'm a student.
I have an ID.
74
00:07:58,416 --> 00:08:00,107
I have a notebook.
75
00:08:06,354 --> 00:08:08,143
Whoa, yeah.
76
00:08:08,242 --> 00:08:11,088
Definitely spy code.
77
00:08:11,184 --> 00:08:14,087
- What are you doing here?
- You know her?
78
00:08:14,193 --> 00:08:16,080
She's a science geek.
79
00:08:22,482 --> 00:08:25,831
Look, I'm sorry, but when the C.I.A.
Wants to learn new dirty tricks,
80
00:08:25,906 --> 00:08:27,880
they observe skaters
and their moms.
81
00:08:27,953 --> 00:08:29,993
- Tina, can I have a word?
- Frank, not now.
82
00:08:30,129 --> 00:08:32,683
I want to digitize
some images into my computer
83
00:08:32,754 --> 00:08:35,601
to see if any kind of
unified theory emerges.
84
00:08:35,699 --> 00:08:37,967
Okay, if Gen knows you
and you wanna
85
00:08:38,034 --> 00:08:41,514
press your nose up against the glass
and take a few notes,
86
00:08:41,587 --> 00:08:43,277
I don't really care.
87
00:08:43,411 --> 00:08:45,832
But you'll have a hard sell
with the parents.
88
00:08:47,956 --> 00:08:49,810
Absolutely not.
89
00:08:49,875 --> 00:08:54,828
But no one outside of the scholarship
committee will ever see this program.
90
00:08:54,898 --> 00:08:59,536
Here's the letter from my teacher
explaining the assignment.
91
00:09:00,788 --> 00:09:03,275
And my driver's license.
92
00:09:03,348 --> 00:09:07,722
Um... I've also got some letters of
references from people I baby-sat for.
93
00:09:08,787 --> 00:09:11,602
Let's keep it moving, girls.
94
00:09:11,667 --> 00:09:16,043
It's possible. We'll have the Team Nikki
legal team check this out.
95
00:09:18,995 --> 00:09:22,379
- Beautiful, sweetie.
- Thanks, Mom!
96
00:09:22,484 --> 00:09:25,003
No talking to my daughter.
She's training.
97
00:09:25,076 --> 00:09:27,050
No distraction.
98
00:09:28,148 --> 00:09:30,351
Not a word. No.
99
00:09:33,876 --> 00:09:35,916
Look, I don't care if you're here.
100
00:09:35,988 --> 00:09:38,706
If you post me on the school website
falling on my butt,
101
00:09:38,773 --> 00:09:41,872
you'd better transfer to another school.
102
00:09:41,940 --> 00:09:43,979
Okay, Nikki.
Let's try that again.
103
00:09:44,051 --> 00:09:46,190
Keep it moving.
104
00:09:46,259 --> 00:09:50,223
A little wider, that's it.
105
00:09:52,629 --> 00:09:54,833
Hey! No street shoes on the ice!
106
00:09:58,325 --> 00:10:01,521
I'm sorry... Sorry.
107
00:10:13,365 --> 00:10:14,511
Gen!
108
00:10:20,341 --> 00:10:21,869
Hello, hon.
109
00:10:21,974 --> 00:10:23,828
Gen!
110
00:10:23,893 --> 00:10:27,471
Gen! Brian, she's training.
You know the rules.
111
00:10:27,573 --> 00:10:30,094
- I brought her a burger, Mrs. H.
- Gen can't eat that.
112
00:10:30,197 --> 00:10:33,679
- Come on, I'm burning tons of calories.
- Not enough.
113
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:35,822
- A half-hour?
- Not if you wanna win.
114
00:10:35,925 --> 00:10:39,538
You should coach our basketball team.
We could use a kick in the butt.
115
00:10:39,637 --> 00:10:42,955
If you don't leave this instant,
that's exactly what you'll get.
116
00:10:48,152 --> 00:10:50,006
Bye.
117
00:10:55,991 --> 00:10:58,381
I do not want him coming here
during practice.
118
00:10:58,456 --> 00:11:01,870
But I never get to see him.
Every other girl I know...
119
00:11:01,974 --> 00:11:06,132
You're not like the other girls.
Winners make sacrifices.
120
00:11:06,231 --> 00:11:07,889
Maybe they just cheat.
121
00:11:10,551 --> 00:11:12,724
- Turn that off!
- Sorry.
122
00:11:12,792 --> 00:11:14,766
Take it from the layback.
123
00:11:37,336 --> 00:11:39,246
The conclusion's too simplistic.
124
00:11:39,321 --> 00:11:40,945
The kinetic energy in a jump
125
00:11:41,049 --> 00:11:44,278
equals half the skater's mass
times velocity squared, minus...
126
00:11:44,345 --> 00:11:46,766
No, I could barely understand it.
127
00:11:46,873 --> 00:11:48,248
But...?
128
00:11:48,313 --> 00:11:51,991
I don't know if they'll care
but it's just a little bit...
129
00:11:52,696 --> 00:11:54,191
...dry.
130
00:11:54,297 --> 00:11:56,533
Mr. Bast said
I have to make it personal.
131
00:11:56,601 --> 00:11:59,765
- How do I do that?
- I don't know.
132
00:11:59,833 --> 00:12:01,655
Put more you in it.
133
00:12:04,794 --> 00:12:07,248
Oh, excuse me, Tina.
134
00:12:07,386 --> 00:12:10,320
Is there any way
that I could take a few lessons?
135
00:12:10,425 --> 00:12:13,808
I think I might be able to write better
about the physics principles
136
00:12:13,882 --> 00:12:15,824
if I'm the one actually applying them.
137
00:12:15,898 --> 00:12:17,970
- If there's any way I could...
- Fine.
138
00:12:18,073 --> 00:12:20,440
We're starting a novice class
for the summer.
139
00:12:20,505 --> 00:12:22,130
Three afternoons a week.
140
00:12:22,265 --> 00:12:23,988
$800.
141
00:12:24,921 --> 00:12:26,710
$800?
142
00:12:26,778 --> 00:12:29,746
- Popcorn! I want popcorn!
- Where are my Gummi Bears?
143
00:12:29,819 --> 00:12:32,754
- I gave them to you.
- Four hot dogs!
144
00:12:32,827 --> 00:12:35,760
- Oh, I'm sorry...
- You touched that with your fingers.
145
00:12:35,835 --> 00:12:38,006
Oh, fine. You don't want it?
I'll eat it.
146
00:12:38,075 --> 00:12:40,213
Oh, you breathed on it!
147
00:12:42,267 --> 00:12:44,056
You shouldn't work here.
148
00:12:46,492 --> 00:12:48,279
You're here again?
149
00:12:48,347 --> 00:12:52,341
Um... I'm working.
It's for my science project.
150
00:12:52,443 --> 00:12:55,095
Aren't you going overboard
with this project?
151
00:12:55,163 --> 00:12:58,676
No, I'm totally committed to it,
like you're committed to skating.
152
00:12:58,747 --> 00:13:02,521
Whatever. I'm starving.
B.L.T. Here. Hold the B, heavy on the L.
153
00:13:02,587 --> 00:13:04,147
Um... sure.
154
00:13:04,219 --> 00:13:08,148
Beef patty.
Squish it till it's dry. No bun.
155
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:10,260
- Salad for me.
- Coming up.
156
00:13:10,363 --> 00:13:14,804
Just iceberg lettuce, half a cup
of garbanzos and a lemon wedge.
157
00:13:14,875 --> 00:13:19,066
Oh, and a quarter cup of cheese.
158
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:20,856
Ooh, cheese!
159
00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:23,828
It's Saturday.
I can pig out if I want to.
160
00:13:23,901 --> 00:13:26,387
I don't know what's wrong.
I'm popping my Lutz.
161
00:13:26,491 --> 00:13:28,499
It's all that cheese.
162
00:13:28,572 --> 00:13:30,874
Would you shut up?
163
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:34,803
I've gotta focus. I heard
Zoey Bloch's been sticking a quad.
164
00:13:34,941 --> 00:13:37,843
That is a rumor.
Which she probably started herself.
165
00:13:37,949 --> 00:13:40,153
Early in the season
for stupid head games.
166
00:13:40,221 --> 00:13:43,286
- Not for Zoey.
- Food's ready!
167
00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:51,925
That is way more than a quarter cup.
168
00:13:52,030 --> 00:13:54,550
Um... It's $1.65,
169
00:13:54,654 --> 00:13:56,377
$2.35 and $3.35.
170
00:13:56,478 --> 00:14:01,333
That's $ 7.30. Or if you split it
the other way, it's $1.75 and $5.55.
171
00:14:01,439 --> 00:14:05,497
Whoa. You can keep it all
if you just stop doing that.
172
00:14:08,636 --> 00:14:10,612
You're welcome.
173
00:14:14,078 --> 00:14:17,657
All right, everybody.
Welcome to our Snowplow Sam class.
174
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,766
Let's line up.
175
00:14:26,847 --> 00:14:28,440
Lookin' good.
176
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,381
Class, can you tell our assistant
the most important rule for this class?
177
00:14:35,487 --> 00:14:37,592
- Mom...
- Never be late.
178
00:14:37,696 --> 00:14:40,957
Right. We have a lot to do
179
00:14:41,023 --> 00:14:44,635
if we are going to be ready
for our recital in August.
180
00:14:44,736 --> 00:14:47,670
We are going to work on our toe loop.
181
00:14:50,654 --> 00:14:52,662
Our Lutz.
182
00:14:58,239 --> 00:15:01,272
But first, all of you
have to get comfortable
183
00:15:01,343 --> 00:15:04,508
with throwing your bodies into the air.
184
00:15:04,576 --> 00:15:06,682
Casey, you're the physics whiz.
185
00:15:06,753 --> 00:15:08,989
What's that rule about what goes up?
186
00:15:09,089 --> 00:15:11,739
Technically,
it's that every particle attracts...
187
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,182
Casey.
188
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,149
Must come down.
189
00:15:21,218 --> 00:15:24,599
This... is your new best friend.
190
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,764
Oh! Oh...
191
00:15:40,865 --> 00:15:43,286
Look, could you try not to, like,
squish me?
192
00:15:43,361 --> 00:15:44,571
I'm sorry.
193
00:15:44,706 --> 00:15:48,218
Casey. Pull your arms in tighter.
They're throwing you off balance.
194
00:15:48,321 --> 00:15:49,979
- Arms in.
- Okay.
195
00:15:50,049 --> 00:15:52,417
Now try that about 5,000 more times.
196
00:15:52,546 --> 00:15:55,807
- Right.
- Push over on your right leg.
197
00:15:55,873 --> 00:15:59,584
Don't look at your feet.
Look straight ahead.
198
00:16:01,507 --> 00:16:04,124
Jeremy!
That toe pick is there for a reason!
199
00:16:04,259 --> 00:16:07,487
You dig it in.
Or no friends over for a week.
200
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:10,777
This is a lot of pressure for a recital.
201
00:16:10,883 --> 00:16:15,586
It's not only a recital.
It's a U.S.F.S.A.J.S.T.
202
00:16:15,684 --> 00:16:17,275
Earth speak, please?
203
00:16:17,347 --> 00:16:21,570
It's the first step
in qualifying for the regionals.
204
00:16:21,635 --> 00:16:24,536
- I mean for us kids.
- Oh.
205
00:16:24,611 --> 00:16:27,164
- You don't have to do it.
- That's good.
206
00:16:27,235 --> 00:16:29,210
Because it's not humanly possible.
207
00:17:46,214 --> 00:17:48,003
Are you out of your mind?!
208
00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:58,718
Hey, don't you know anything?
No skating when the Zamboni's out.
209
00:17:58,791 --> 00:18:01,278
I'm fine. I'm fine.
210
00:18:01,350 --> 00:18:04,067
- Thank you.
- Oh, you're fine?
211
00:18:04,807 --> 00:18:05,919
Okay.
212
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:07,747
I'm sorry.
213
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:15,779
Look, you wanna tell me
what was in your head?
214
00:18:15,846 --> 00:18:18,914
I've never skated on
such a smooth surface before.
215
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:21,665
I wanted to see what it was like.
216
00:18:21,766 --> 00:18:24,931
- Lake skater?
- Pond. Near my house.
217
00:18:26,504 --> 00:18:30,530
- Look, you need a hand.
- No! I'm good to go.
218
00:18:33,127 --> 00:18:34,818
Oh!
219
00:18:41,193 --> 00:18:43,363
You must really want that A.
220
00:18:45,832 --> 00:18:48,767
Wow, that's a lot of Styrofoam.
221
00:18:49,801 --> 00:18:53,249
It's not for an A.
It's for a physics scholarship.
222
00:18:54,952 --> 00:19:00,070
What, like, uh... inertia and drag
and velocity and all that?
223
00:19:00,137 --> 00:19:02,406
- How do you know about that?
- I'm into cars.
224
00:19:02,504 --> 00:19:05,319
Get this baby out on the road,
I can open her up to...
225
00:19:05,384 --> 00:19:06,912
...seven miles an hour.
226
00:19:06,985 --> 00:19:10,759
Blow the doors off
any street-sweeper in town.
227
00:19:18,281 --> 00:19:21,183
Um... I should get home.
228
00:19:21,257 --> 00:19:23,044
Yeah, you should.
229
00:19:25,001 --> 00:19:27,140
Can't do the ice until you're off.
230
00:19:27,242 --> 00:19:29,282
Right.
231
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:30,728
Sure.
232
00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:32,834
Well...
233
00:19:46,635 --> 00:19:48,674
How's it coming?
234
00:19:48,777 --> 00:19:50,468
It's coming.
235
00:19:51,978 --> 00:19:54,280
It takes incredible training and effort
236
00:19:54,378 --> 00:19:56,713
and there's artistry involved
but I'm sorry,
237
00:19:56,811 --> 00:19:59,909
I just can't get past
the twinky little outfits.
238
00:20:00,011 --> 00:20:03,491
Mom, they're actually
very aerodynamically sound.
239
00:20:03,563 --> 00:20:06,345
It sets us back 50 years.
240
00:20:06,443 --> 00:20:10,502
If I ever saw you squeezed into one of
those things, I'd probably start crying.
241
00:20:10,570 --> 00:20:13,027
Believe me, you never will.
242
00:20:15,146 --> 00:20:17,251
Will you get some sleep?
243
00:20:17,354 --> 00:20:18,467
Please?
244
00:20:18,602 --> 00:20:19,716
Hello.
245
00:20:19,819 --> 00:20:21,959
This is my video presentation.
246
00:20:22,028 --> 00:20:24,264
Hi. I'm Casey Carlyle.
247
00:20:24,364 --> 00:20:26,088
Cut a second.
248
00:20:26,188 --> 00:20:28,162
I sound like a driver's ed movie.
249
00:20:28,234 --> 00:20:30,537
Relax.
Do it like you're talking to me.
250
00:20:30,636 --> 00:20:33,025
Hey, there. I'm Casey.
251
00:20:34,348 --> 00:20:36,769
Oh, my God.
I forgot my last name.
252
00:20:36,876 --> 00:20:37,989
Can I start over?
253
00:20:38,092 --> 00:20:40,547
Hi. I'm Casey Carlyle.
254
00:20:40,652 --> 00:20:44,581
I decided to see if I could make myself
prove my own hypothesis
255
00:20:44,685 --> 00:20:46,309
on the application of physics
256
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:49,925
to the required elements
of competitive figure skating.
257
00:20:51,852 --> 00:20:54,470
Now, I'm going to increase
the centripetal force
258
00:20:54,572 --> 00:20:56,514
by tucking in my arms.
259
00:20:56,620 --> 00:20:59,076
This will increase
my moment of inertia,
260
00:20:59,181 --> 00:21:01,385
so I will spin...
261
00:21:01,453 --> 00:21:02,500
...faster.
262
00:21:02,604 --> 00:21:07,459
I'll increase the height of my jump
by applying more force to my toe pick.
263
00:21:12,397 --> 00:21:15,114
- You know, you look kinda hot.
- Shut up.
264
00:21:15,181 --> 00:21:18,924
I'm gonna start off with a bad one.
For the before shot.
265
00:21:22,670 --> 00:21:25,059
- Yeah, that pretty much blew.
- Okay.
266
00:21:25,166 --> 00:21:28,134
- Now you're making me mad.
- Good.
267
00:21:51,982 --> 00:21:56,805
When you sign with Nike,
remember I wear size six and a half.
268
00:21:59,181 --> 00:22:01,637
I want to do the recital.
269
00:22:01,743 --> 00:22:03,401
For science.
270
00:22:04,782 --> 00:22:07,305
Be here tonight, 5:30.
271
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,701
Okay.
272
00:22:10,736 --> 00:22:15,470
Mm! Tina... I have this
Harvard alumni tea thing at three.
273
00:22:15,535 --> 00:22:17,324
Then, what are we talking about?
274
00:22:17,391 --> 00:22:19,977
No, it's okay. I'll make it.
275
00:22:21,168 --> 00:22:23,535
Um...
276
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,186
You have nothing to wear.
277
00:22:26,288 --> 00:22:29,636
Come by my house at noon. Maybe
one of my old things will work for you.
278
00:22:29,744 --> 00:22:32,232
Wow. Okay.
279
00:22:36,624 --> 00:22:37,704
What?
280
00:22:39,376 --> 00:22:40,685
Thanks!
281
00:22:58,545 --> 00:23:01,099
- Sweetie?
- Just a second!
282
00:23:07,794 --> 00:23:09,136
Hold on!
283
00:23:10,098 --> 00:23:12,618
- Almost ready?
- Uh-huh.
284
00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:15,440
I have a surprise for you.
285
00:23:22,739 --> 00:23:24,561
That does it.
286
00:23:24,659 --> 00:23:26,000
Perfect.
287
00:23:26,098 --> 00:23:28,586
I think the whole effect
is very grown up,
288
00:23:28,691 --> 00:23:31,209
with a nod to femininity.
289
00:23:31,346 --> 00:23:34,444
We've evolved past flaunting it,
but we don't have to deny it.
290
00:23:34,546 --> 00:23:36,335
I mean, you are going to be mingling
291
00:23:36,402 --> 00:23:40,461
with your future prospective
classmates and professors,
292
00:23:40,562 --> 00:23:44,457
and I really wanted the look to say,
"We are serious. "
293
00:23:44,593 --> 00:23:46,568
Well, it definitely succeeds.
294
00:23:47,859 --> 00:23:51,634
Mom, we don't have to stay at this thing
for more than an hour, right?
295
00:23:51,699 --> 00:23:54,962
Um, because...
there's something I have to tell you.
296
00:23:55,059 --> 00:23:58,671
Oh... Oh, honey.
297
00:23:58,739 --> 00:24:01,325
- What was that?
- I've been so worried.
298
00:24:01,396 --> 00:24:05,586
You've been living at that rink,
but you're here, now.
299
00:24:05,715 --> 00:24:10,253
And you're excited, because
you understand what's really important.
300
00:24:10,387 --> 00:24:12,362
Look, I've got goose bumps.
301
00:24:15,284 --> 00:24:18,797
I'm sorry, that was so type A of me.
Mom disease.
302
00:24:18,867 --> 00:24:21,868
Just relax. Just be yourself.
303
00:24:21,972 --> 00:24:24,906
Your normal, poised,
charming, articulate...
304
00:24:25,012 --> 00:24:26,157
Mom...
305
00:24:26,260 --> 00:24:28,846
Do you wanna go over it
one more time?
306
00:24:30,324 --> 00:24:32,909
Hi. I'm Casey Carlyle,
307
00:24:32,981 --> 00:24:36,525
and I'm attracted
to the physics program because...
308
00:24:36,596 --> 00:24:38,286
Physics rocks.
309
00:24:38,356 --> 00:24:41,738
In sophomore year, you can join
the Quantum Club and that rocks
310
00:24:41,812 --> 00:24:45,327
because we compete against
Cal Tech, MIT and Stanford.
311
00:24:45,398 --> 00:24:48,562
Last year, our ion particle accelerator
took first place.
312
00:24:48,629 --> 00:24:49,971
It rocked.
313
00:24:50,037 --> 00:24:53,298
Sounds really, um... rockin'.
314
00:24:53,429 --> 00:24:55,087
It is, it really is.
315
00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:59,663
Do you know what I think is great?
If Casey's scholarship works out,
316
00:24:59,734 --> 00:25:05,200
I'm sensing that you two will be
spending scads of time together.
317
00:25:06,805 --> 00:25:09,140
Hors d'oeuvre?
318
00:25:09,207 --> 00:25:12,109
Oh, how wonderful, bruschetta.
319
00:25:13,142 --> 00:25:15,150
If you have some time right now,
320
00:25:15,254 --> 00:25:19,050
I'll take you through
the entire physical sciences syllabus.
321
00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:23,663
We have got nothing but time!
Don't we, Case?
322
00:25:23,767 --> 00:25:25,108
Great!
323
00:25:27,447 --> 00:25:29,867
I know I'm late. I'm sorry.
324
00:25:29,941 --> 00:25:32,690
That's the first rule.
325
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,255
All right, let's get ready.
Come on.
326
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,167
- That's what she said...
- I have to do two turns...
327
00:25:42,263 --> 00:25:43,693
- Really?
- Yeah.
328
00:25:43,767 --> 00:25:47,214
We're supposed to go round
the side, remember?
329
00:25:47,352 --> 00:25:49,327
- Oh...
- It's right there.
330
00:25:51,224 --> 00:25:53,613
- Right there, is that better?
- Yeah...
331
00:26:02,391 --> 00:26:04,333
Deep breath.
332
00:26:08,024 --> 00:26:10,194
And then you let it out.
333
00:26:10,295 --> 00:26:12,685
- It didn't work.
- Come on.
334
00:26:14,264 --> 00:26:16,052
Okay, everybody.
335
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:18,291
I'll take that.
336
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:20,149
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
337
00:26:20,216 --> 00:26:22,102
Nice and slow.
338
00:26:23,064 --> 00:26:24,722
Lily, no talking.
339
00:26:30,618 --> 00:26:31,698
Hi.
340
00:26:47,673 --> 00:26:49,746
Mom...
341
00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:51,889
Is she wearing your old costume?
342
00:28:30,141 --> 00:28:32,083
Bravo!
343
00:28:34,780 --> 00:28:36,122
Yes!
344
00:28:36,188 --> 00:28:37,781
Whoo!
345
00:28:45,598 --> 00:28:49,753
- What's my score?
- How did I do?
346
00:28:49,854 --> 00:28:51,283
How did I do?
347
00:28:51,358 --> 00:28:53,627
"Novice pass. " Yes!
348
00:28:53,694 --> 00:28:57,720
- Casey, how did you do?
- Fine, I guess.
349
00:28:57,790 --> 00:29:00,473
It says... "Junior pass. "
350
00:29:02,302 --> 00:29:05,401
- What?
- You skipped two levels.
351
00:29:07,648 --> 00:29:11,641
- Why didn't I skip two levels?
- Because you're six, Lily.
352
00:29:11,744 --> 00:29:14,874
Junior level is where
Gen and Nikki and Tiff are at.
353
00:29:16,510 --> 00:29:19,893
Is that true, Tina?
That I'm on a junior level?
354
00:29:22,335 --> 00:29:23,896
Yes, it's true.
355
00:29:23,968 --> 00:29:26,814
Okay, everybody, let's get changed.
356
00:29:26,879 --> 00:29:30,490
Come on, everybody. Let's go.
357
00:29:30,558 --> 00:29:32,567
So, if I...
358
00:29:33,568 --> 00:29:36,437
- If I wanted to compete?
- You can't.
359
00:29:36,544 --> 00:29:38,932
Why not?
360
00:29:39,006 --> 00:29:43,000
What happened was, the judges saw the
same thing I've been seeing all summer.
361
00:29:43,072 --> 00:29:46,935
You got some raw talent. That's not
enough for a shot at the regionals.
362
00:29:47,008 --> 00:29:51,830
You need a coach, a valet,
a choreographer, private ice time.
363
00:29:51,905 --> 00:29:54,838
Nikki's parents took out
a second mortgage to do this.
364
00:29:54,911 --> 00:29:57,333
- And Tiffany's dad works two jobs.
- Oh.
365
00:29:57,472 --> 00:30:00,474
- Where d'you get those skates?
- Garage sale.
366
00:30:00,577 --> 00:30:04,471
They're falling off your feet.
You need custom boots, $600 minimum,
367
00:30:04,546 --> 00:30:07,163
and the blades need to be sharpened
every six weeks.
368
00:30:07,265 --> 00:30:10,494
You get it?
I'm sorry. It is what it is.
369
00:30:11,425 --> 00:30:14,655
You have to want it. You have to
want it more than anything else.
370
00:30:14,754 --> 00:30:17,242
It's not something you do on a whim.
371
00:30:26,466 --> 00:30:29,847
You know what I was thinking,
Miss Senior?
372
00:30:29,921 --> 00:30:33,914
This is the last first day of school.
373
00:30:33,986 --> 00:30:38,208
Because the next first day,
you'll be in a dorm.
374
00:30:38,306 --> 00:30:40,575
So I went a little nuts.
375
00:30:40,674 --> 00:30:43,935
I made pancakes with white flour.
376
00:30:45,953 --> 00:30:48,473
Can you believe summer's over?
377
00:30:48,577 --> 00:30:51,262
We're wasting our lives here.
378
00:30:56,228 --> 00:30:58,747
- Heard you landed a double.
- Tiff!
379
00:30:58,850 --> 00:31:02,528
- Well? That took me two years.
- Really?
380
00:31:02,627 --> 00:31:06,882
- So I guess we'll see you then?
- No, you won't.
381
00:31:06,947 --> 00:31:09,664
Not at the rink.
I can't train with you guys.
382
00:31:09,731 --> 00:31:11,619
Why not?
383
00:31:11,747 --> 00:31:14,114
Um, I can't afford it.
384
00:31:14,179 --> 00:31:16,601
- Oh!
- Yeah.
385
00:31:16,675 --> 00:31:19,163
But, um, it's been fun.
386
00:31:22,851 --> 00:31:27,422
Look, Casey.
I'll tell you something, all right.
387
00:31:27,492 --> 00:31:29,913
You don't know how lucky you are.
388
00:31:30,019 --> 00:31:32,834
- For what?
- To have a life.
389
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:36,380
- You think I have a life?
- I know you do.
390
00:31:36,483 --> 00:31:39,865
You have TV time, and friend time...
391
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:42,111
But you get to skate all you want.
392
00:31:42,211 --> 00:31:44,700
More than I want.
393
00:31:44,773 --> 00:31:47,010
I'd love to be you.
394
00:31:47,109 --> 00:31:51,037
Have a Saturday night,
see your boyfriend...
395
00:31:51,140 --> 00:31:54,139
- Yeah...
- Eat what you want.
396
00:31:54,212 --> 00:31:56,962
Like bread.
Buckets and buckets of bread.
397
00:31:57,061 --> 00:32:00,027
Oh, boo-hoo-hoo! Who cares?
398
00:32:00,102 --> 00:32:02,044
Who cares about all that stuff?
399
00:32:02,118 --> 00:32:04,604
Don't you just wanna skate all the time?
400
00:32:06,277 --> 00:32:07,838
- No.
- No.
401
00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:11,554
What's the matter with you people?
Are you insane?
402
00:32:11,653 --> 00:32:14,042
The Jumping Shrimp is a skating machine.
403
00:32:14,117 --> 00:32:17,794
- "The Jumping Shrimp"?
- My mom copyrighted it.
404
00:32:17,893 --> 00:32:19,203
See ya.
405
00:32:19,269 --> 00:32:20,697
Scary.
406
00:32:20,773 --> 00:32:22,497
We must learn from her.
407
00:32:22,565 --> 00:32:26,363
This is exactly what the
scholarship committee is looking for.
408
00:32:26,438 --> 00:32:30,365
Your enthusiasm for the project
just leaps off the page.
409
00:32:30,437 --> 00:32:33,470
In fact, it's so good,
you could probably sell it.
410
00:32:35,237 --> 00:32:37,694
Thanks.
411
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:41,693
- Tiffany.
- Hey.
412
00:32:41,767 --> 00:32:44,155
What if I told you
I could fix your spread eagle?
413
00:32:45,254 --> 00:32:48,385
Would you like to learn how
to stop traveling on your sit spin?
414
00:32:48,486 --> 00:32:49,894
I don't!
415
00:32:53,895 --> 00:32:56,797
Well, maybe I do.
416
00:32:59,175 --> 00:33:00,964
You could land your double Axel.
417
00:33:01,031 --> 00:33:02,438
Clean.
418
00:33:34,409 --> 00:33:35,836
And she's back!
419
00:33:38,184 --> 00:33:40,323
How'd you score the rink time?
420
00:33:40,424 --> 00:33:42,311
Physics!
421
00:33:42,408 --> 00:33:45,824
I'm trading my science project.
422
00:33:47,721 --> 00:33:50,175
Look, you carved up
my nice smooth ice.
423
00:33:52,008 --> 00:33:54,910
But, you know, it wasn't so hard
watching you do it.
424
00:33:55,944 --> 00:33:57,920
Casey!
425
00:33:57,994 --> 00:34:01,310
Mom? What are you doing here?
426
00:34:01,384 --> 00:34:04,800
Orthodontist. New NightGuard fitting.
Remember?
427
00:34:07,144 --> 00:34:09,250
Here.
428
00:34:09,353 --> 00:34:11,775
What's... What's going on here?
429
00:34:15,177 --> 00:34:16,518
Who's this?
430
00:34:18,281 --> 00:34:21,151
- Uh...
- Teddy.
431
00:34:21,257 --> 00:34:22,852
Right. Teddy.
432
00:34:22,923 --> 00:34:25,541
Teddy drives the Zamboni.
433
00:34:25,610 --> 00:34:27,334
Teddy the Zamboni driver.
434
00:34:27,403 --> 00:34:29,955
I thought you were
working on your project.
435
00:34:30,027 --> 00:34:32,361
She was.
436
00:34:32,427 --> 00:34:34,369
Your daughter's very talented.
437
00:34:37,578 --> 00:34:40,067
And... and you are...?
438
00:34:40,171 --> 00:34:42,853
- Tina.
- Tina Harwood?
439
00:34:42,922 --> 00:34:45,639
- Yes.
- The skater.
440
00:34:45,706 --> 00:34:47,048
Yes.
441
00:34:47,114 --> 00:34:51,686
With all the trophies
and the little outfits.
442
00:34:53,963 --> 00:34:55,107
Yes.
443
00:35:01,066 --> 00:35:03,238
Well, don't let me interrupt.
444
00:35:03,339 --> 00:35:07,528
- Carry on with all your fun here.
- Thank you. I will.
445
00:35:10,059 --> 00:35:14,053
- Come on, Mom.
- Yes. Yes, of course.
446
00:35:14,860 --> 00:35:16,136
Bye.
447
00:35:48,940 --> 00:35:52,170
Okay. You need to
keep your knees in tighter,
448
00:35:52,237 --> 00:35:54,856
point your foot, so you'll spin faster.
449
00:35:54,925 --> 00:35:56,331
Okay, easy enough.
450
00:36:10,446 --> 00:36:12,333
Better?
451
00:36:12,399 --> 00:36:14,765
Perfect.
452
00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:47,624
- It worked!
- Just like you said it would.
453
00:36:47,727 --> 00:36:52,069
The computer doesn't make the jumps.
That was all you.
454
00:36:53,423 --> 00:36:55,519
Come on, Mom, just this one time.
I'll be back by eleven.
455
00:36:55,552 --> 00:36:57,614
Come on, Mom, just this one time.
I'll be back by eleven.
456
00:36:57,678 --> 00:36:59,982
You have a 5:30a. m. Practice tomorrow.
457
00:37:00,049 --> 00:37:04,555
Think you're gonna be all sparkly for
that if I let you stay out all hours?
458
00:37:05,648 --> 00:37:08,299
Mom, I landed my Axel.
459
00:37:08,367 --> 00:37:11,565
Can't I just have
one Saturday night, please?
460
00:37:16,369 --> 00:37:18,507
Who are you going with?
461
00:37:18,577 --> 00:37:20,486
Hi, um...
462
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,238
- D'you wanna hang out tonight?
- With you?
463
00:37:24,336 --> 00:37:26,475
Yeah, you know, get something to eat.
464
00:37:26,575 --> 00:37:30,471
- Maybe do a movie or something.
- Um... yeah.
465
00:37:32,495 --> 00:37:35,081
- But...
- Here we are...
466
00:37:35,184 --> 00:37:37,421
This doesn't look like a movie.
467
00:37:38,224 --> 00:37:40,232
Gen!
468
00:37:40,976 --> 00:37:42,635
Gen!
469
00:37:44,113 --> 00:37:45,867
Gen!
470
00:37:46,896 --> 00:37:47,976
Gen!
471
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,770
I, um...
472
00:37:49,841 --> 00:37:52,045
I'm not dressed for a party.
473
00:37:53,522 --> 00:37:55,016
Shake it.
474
00:37:57,683 --> 00:37:59,373
Your hair.
475
00:38:03,090 --> 00:38:05,230
Now, no one will notice.
476
00:38:05,298 --> 00:38:07,121
Work the hair.
477
00:38:13,362 --> 00:38:15,272
- Hi.
- Hi.
478
00:38:19,346 --> 00:38:21,386
I don't know any of these people.
479
00:38:21,491 --> 00:38:23,946
Sure, you do.
They're all in your class.
480
00:38:24,019 --> 00:38:26,507
There's... Jason, football.
481
00:38:26,578 --> 00:38:28,401
And Luke, soccer.
482
00:38:28,498 --> 00:38:31,052
I know them but I...
I don't actually talk to them.
483
00:38:31,154 --> 00:38:33,609
I don't talk to guys or... people.
484
00:38:33,682 --> 00:38:37,228
Well, now would be
the perfect time to start.
485
00:38:39,089 --> 00:38:41,195
- Hey, Kyle.
- Hey.
486
00:38:42,738 --> 00:38:44,200
Casey.
487
00:38:48,468 --> 00:38:51,337
Casey, Kyle. Kyle plays hockey.
488
00:38:51,412 --> 00:38:53,005
- Casey skates.
- Hey.
489
00:38:53,108 --> 00:38:55,758
You guys have a lot in common.
Have fun.
490
00:38:56,787 --> 00:38:58,609
But... I...
491
00:38:58,708 --> 00:39:00,115
Brian!
492
00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:08,400
- So you skate, huh?
- Figure, uh... skate.
493
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:10,475
- Figure skate.
- Oh.
494
00:39:10,580 --> 00:39:12,969
I wouldn't let the rest of the team
hear this but
495
00:39:13,043 --> 00:39:15,727
you guys could probably
skate circles around us.
496
00:39:15,828 --> 00:39:17,802
But not pushing a puck.
497
00:39:23,125 --> 00:39:25,099
Why don't you come to our next game?
498
00:39:26,965 --> 00:39:29,353
Whoo-hoo!
499
00:39:29,461 --> 00:39:31,020
Go! Go! Go!
500
00:39:31,155 --> 00:39:32,782
- Uh-oh.
- What?
501
00:39:34,644 --> 00:39:37,580
Well, assuming his weight
to be about 150lbs,
502
00:39:37,654 --> 00:39:41,548
at that rate of descent, his
estimated trajectory would bring him...
503
00:39:41,622 --> 00:39:44,077
...directly through the window.
504
00:39:44,181 --> 00:39:45,458
Oooh!
505
00:39:48,021 --> 00:39:52,430
I mean, it's a simple
V times M equals A miscalculation.
506
00:39:52,501 --> 00:39:56,047
You know, velocity times momentum
equals acceleration.
507
00:39:56,118 --> 00:39:57,296
Physics.
508
00:39:57,365 --> 00:39:59,667
Yeah, I have to, um...
509
00:40:01,909 --> 00:40:03,403
Yeah, later.
510
00:40:04,566 --> 00:40:05,941
Do you know who that was?
511
00:40:06,006 --> 00:40:08,395
- That was Kyle Dayton.
- Way hot.
512
00:40:08,503 --> 00:40:10,837
Word of advice.
Don't ever speak again.
513
00:40:10,934 --> 00:40:13,355
When I get nervous,
I kind of babble a little.
514
00:40:13,430 --> 00:40:15,438
It's like this gear gets loose
in my head.
515
00:40:15,542 --> 00:40:17,582
Like those Planck diagrams, where...
516
00:40:17,655 --> 00:40:19,859
You're doing that babbling thing again.
517
00:40:19,927 --> 00:40:22,294
I think babbling is cool.
518
00:40:24,023 --> 00:40:26,357
Come on, Casey.
519
00:40:27,255 --> 00:40:29,077
Thanks.
520
00:40:42,839 --> 00:40:46,582
So you're Gen's cover tonight, huh?
It's usually my job.
521
00:40:46,648 --> 00:40:49,168
She could've warned me
we were going to a party.
522
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,306
You know,
my sister has her own problems.
523
00:40:52,408 --> 00:40:54,928
- Your sister?
- Yeah.
524
00:40:55,032 --> 00:40:58,032
- You're Tina's son?
- Is that so hard to believe?
525
00:40:58,104 --> 00:41:00,951
No, no, wow, I just, um...
526
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,119
- I just thought...
- I was the help?
527
00:41:04,952 --> 00:41:09,590
I mean, I kinda am.
Gen skates and I fix stuff.
528
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,946
Well, most stuff.
529
00:41:20,665 --> 00:41:24,495
An object is only as strong
as its weakest point.
530
00:41:25,914 --> 00:41:27,441
Physics.
531
00:41:27,514 --> 00:41:29,422
Thanks.
532
00:41:32,505 --> 00:41:34,610
Right, so...
533
00:41:34,714 --> 00:41:36,886
Tell me about, um...
534
00:41:36,954 --> 00:41:38,677
...fixing stuff.
535
00:41:40,506 --> 00:41:44,433
Well, I mean the rink
was a pit when my mom bought it.
536
00:41:44,538 --> 00:41:46,774
Mostly with her divorce money.
537
00:41:46,842 --> 00:41:49,974
I helped bring it back.
I did the repair work, the painting...
538
00:41:50,042 --> 00:41:52,889
The Zamboni.
That was my favorite part.
539
00:41:54,938 --> 00:41:58,614
So, um, for you it's the science stuff?
540
00:42:00,506 --> 00:42:02,579
Um... right.
541
00:42:03,834 --> 00:42:06,070
- Sorry.
- Ah!
542
00:42:07,418 --> 00:42:09,719
- Yeah, nice one!
- Klutz!
543
00:42:09,785 --> 00:42:11,956
Dork.
544
00:42:12,058 --> 00:42:14,448
Just can't keep off the ice, can you?
545
00:43:34,366 --> 00:43:36,308
- Hi.
- Where have you been?
546
00:43:36,414 --> 00:43:37,624
Stayed late at school.
547
00:43:37,694 --> 00:43:40,923
No, where have you been all week?
548
00:43:41,021 --> 00:43:44,088
This tutoring thing
has got me totally stretched out.
549
00:43:44,158 --> 00:43:48,860
Why are you doing this? This kid is the
dumbest ninth-grader on the planet.
550
00:43:48,925 --> 00:43:51,576
Mom, it looks good on my application.
551
00:43:51,678 --> 00:43:53,587
Ann's doing it too.
552
00:43:56,126 --> 00:43:58,330
Ann was with you just now?
553
00:43:58,397 --> 00:44:02,196
- Yeah. Five minutes ago.
- Ann just phoned for you.
554
00:44:04,608 --> 00:44:07,357
- What's going on?
- Nothing.
555
00:44:07,423 --> 00:44:10,390
And since when
do you get a C on a test?
556
00:44:10,463 --> 00:44:13,595
I saw it in your room.
I was not snooping.
557
00:44:13,663 --> 00:44:16,565
I mean, you and As
are like peanut butter and jelly.
558
00:44:16,671 --> 00:44:18,362
- Is it belated rebellion?
- What?
559
00:44:18,463 --> 00:44:19,511
Is it...
560
00:44:21,151 --> 00:44:23,705
...a boy?
- Mom, no!
561
00:44:23,776 --> 00:44:25,269
I'm sorry.
562
00:44:25,344 --> 00:44:29,086
You do realize what is at stake
with your grades right now?
563
00:44:29,151 --> 00:44:30,907
I know. I know. I'm sorry.
564
00:44:30,975 --> 00:44:32,602
I feel bad about the C, okay?
565
00:44:32,703 --> 00:44:35,899
- Can you just give it a rest?
- Sweetie!
566
00:44:59,489 --> 00:45:01,660
Mom, I just want
to compete at regionals.
567
00:45:01,729 --> 00:45:04,926
Why?
What do you have to gain by this?
568
00:45:08,353 --> 00:45:10,938
- I'm good.
- So, what are you saying?
569
00:45:11,009 --> 00:45:14,140
You wanna just blow off
our whole plan for you,
570
00:45:14,209 --> 00:45:18,268
chuck the scholarship
and become a professional athlete?
571
00:45:19,937 --> 00:45:24,673
Case, what is the shelf life
on an ice-skater?
572
00:45:24,738 --> 00:45:26,461
Eight years?
573
00:45:26,529 --> 00:45:30,391
And then a few years
touring with Has-Beens On Ice.
574
00:45:30,496 --> 00:45:34,808
And that's it?
That's the end of your life?
575
00:45:34,914 --> 00:45:36,255
I love it, Mom.
576
00:45:36,353 --> 00:45:40,544
Case, there's no shelf life
on your mind.
577
00:45:40,610 --> 00:45:42,976
If I'd learned to use mine
a little sooner,
578
00:45:43,041 --> 00:45:45,759
if I'd gone to college
when I was your age,
579
00:45:45,826 --> 00:45:48,413
maybe we wouldn't be living like this.
580
00:45:48,483 --> 00:45:50,850
There's nothing wrong
with the way we live.
581
00:45:50,916 --> 00:45:55,071
I've not been able to give you
a quarter of the things I've wanted to.
582
00:45:55,139 --> 00:45:57,114
You've given me everything.
583
00:45:58,660 --> 00:46:01,310
Then you need
to give me something now.
584
00:46:42,340 --> 00:46:44,609
Attention, skaters!
585
00:46:44,709 --> 00:46:48,124
We will be playing
classical music the entire ride.
586
00:46:48,196 --> 00:46:49,658
Oh, Mom!
587
00:46:49,764 --> 00:46:52,154
Unless, of course,
someone wins a trophy.
588
00:46:52,230 --> 00:46:55,841
- And then its Outkast for you.
- Yeah!
589
00:46:55,974 --> 00:46:58,274
And earplugs for me.
590
00:46:59,910 --> 00:47:04,099
- So, we're picking up a stray.
- Hey.
591
00:47:04,164 --> 00:47:08,223
- Isn't your mom coming?
- She's not really into skating.
592
00:47:08,293 --> 00:47:12,122
Guess what? Slonski Toyota sponsorship,
it's a done deal.
593
00:47:12,197 --> 00:47:14,336
We're way behind on marketing.
594
00:47:14,406 --> 00:47:17,373
I'm working two jobs for you
because you're worth it.
595
00:47:17,446 --> 00:47:20,196
And you'll be even more worth it
when you win.
596
00:47:20,262 --> 00:47:21,723
Très harsh.
597
00:47:21,798 --> 00:47:24,001
You think?
598
00:47:24,101 --> 00:47:26,687
Hey, watch this.
599
00:47:26,790 --> 00:47:28,546
Hey, Nik.
600
00:47:28,614 --> 00:47:31,714
Everyone says you and I
are gonna take first and second today.
601
00:47:34,248 --> 00:47:35,937
Nice try.
602
00:47:39,974 --> 00:47:42,342
- What was that about?
- Classic psych-out.
603
00:47:42,439 --> 00:47:45,854
Softens up the competition
so they don't go all-out to win.
604
00:47:45,958 --> 00:47:49,789
- Don't ever fall for it.
- Got it.
605
00:47:49,926 --> 00:47:52,260
No matter what happens
in the short program,
606
00:47:52,359 --> 00:47:55,904
even if you tank, just tell yourself
it's only one third of the score.
607
00:47:55,975 --> 00:47:59,772
- Never freak till after the long.
- Freak after the long. Okay.
608
00:47:59,847 --> 00:48:01,854
Hey, slowpoke!
609
00:48:03,016 --> 00:48:05,187
You're coming too?
610
00:48:05,254 --> 00:48:07,841
Well, I don't have to
if you don't want me to.
611
00:48:07,912 --> 00:48:11,108
Well, I guess if the van
breaks down or something.
612
00:48:31,273 --> 00:48:35,495
Hey, that's Zoey Bloch,
A.K.A. Skate Thief.
613
00:48:37,129 --> 00:48:40,227
Well, well.
If it isn't the Leaping Dwarf.
614
00:48:40,296 --> 00:48:43,264
It's the Jumping Shrimp, actually.
615
00:48:43,337 --> 00:48:45,442
Like that's a step up?
616
00:48:45,513 --> 00:48:48,579
- Don't talk to her, Nikki.
- And don't get any closer.
617
00:48:48,681 --> 00:48:50,568
You don't wanna lose your skates.
618
00:48:50,665 --> 00:48:53,088
Like I'd need to steal
her skates to win this?
619
00:48:53,194 --> 00:48:56,062
- Or a lame computer program?
- How'd she know about that?
620
00:48:56,136 --> 00:48:58,919
She's got eyes in the back of her horns.
621
00:48:58,985 --> 00:49:01,025
- Beat it, Harwood.
- Make me, Bloch.
622
00:49:01,129 --> 00:49:04,545
Don't engage, Gennifer.
You should know better than that.
623
00:49:04,618 --> 00:49:06,079
Zoey, come on.
624
00:49:06,186 --> 00:49:09,350
- Imagine you are in...
- A bubble. I know, Mom.
625
00:49:09,418 --> 00:49:12,003
- Remember, don't...
- Deviate from my program.
626
00:49:12,074 --> 00:49:14,593
Even if you do nothing but fall,
it's not...
627
00:49:14,665 --> 00:49:17,863
Even an option. I know, Mom.
628
00:49:18,731 --> 00:49:21,064
Look at me.
629
00:49:25,707 --> 00:49:29,121
So you're the one
trying to make it without a coach.
630
00:49:30,795 --> 00:49:35,301
I just wanted to wish you luck. It's not
easy going out there your first time.
631
00:49:35,402 --> 00:49:36,416
Thanks.
632
00:49:36,490 --> 00:49:38,400
You just gotta keep focused.
633
00:49:38,506 --> 00:49:41,823
And be impressive.
Set the groundwork for next year.
634
00:49:41,899 --> 00:49:45,129
- Next year?
- No way are you gonna place this year.
635
00:49:45,227 --> 00:49:48,642
The judges have already
ranked this thing in their minds.
636
00:49:49,707 --> 00:49:52,128
Nice skates.
637
00:49:56,044 --> 00:49:57,604
Hey, come on.
638
00:49:57,707 --> 00:49:59,879
It's just another
classic psych-out.
639
00:49:59,948 --> 00:50:03,558
It's the old, "You've already lost
so why bother trying?"
640
00:50:03,626 --> 00:50:04,708
Come on.
641
00:50:07,723 --> 00:50:11,686
Don't get offended.
Just one little question.
642
00:50:11,788 --> 00:50:12,771
What?
643
00:50:12,877 --> 00:50:15,429
Haven't you heard of eyeliner?
644
00:50:15,501 --> 00:50:17,802
Not yet. Casey!
645
00:50:17,868 --> 00:50:19,494
Stop. Not yet.
646
00:50:19,597 --> 00:50:23,853
I really appreciate the effort, but I
don't think there's a lot to work with.
647
00:50:28,587 --> 00:50:30,531
- I'm...
- You're hot.
648
00:50:30,605 --> 00:50:33,420
But stay away from Brian. He's mine.
649
00:50:34,924 --> 00:50:36,746
Teddy...
650
00:50:36,813 --> 00:50:38,504
Teddy you can have.
651
00:50:38,574 --> 00:50:40,002
Oh, um, but I don't...
652
00:50:40,109 --> 00:50:44,810
You know, I may not be as smart
as you are, but I'm not an idiot.
653
00:50:47,885 --> 00:50:51,463
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the 54th Annual
654
00:50:51,533 --> 00:50:54,729
New England Regional
Figure Skating Competition.
655
00:50:54,828 --> 00:50:57,163
Our first skater
for the short program
656
00:50:57,260 --> 00:51:00,644
is Zoey Bloch
from Worcester, Massachusetts.
657
00:53:14,386 --> 00:53:17,387
We love skating and we love gold!
658
00:53:41,460 --> 00:53:42,769
Yes!
659
00:54:11,284 --> 00:54:15,506
Okay, we're in. Definitely top four.
You're going to the sectionals!
660
00:54:15,604 --> 00:54:18,921
Unless Sasha Cohen
makes a guest appearance.
661
00:54:19,028 --> 00:54:20,043
Good job.
662
00:54:20,117 --> 00:54:21,525
Good luck.
663
00:54:26,164 --> 00:54:30,769
Our final skater is Casey Carlyle
from Millbrook, Connecticut.
664
00:54:47,735 --> 00:54:49,622
- Some numbers...
- Slip on a turn...
665
00:55:11,352 --> 00:55:12,595
Oh!
666
00:55:35,608 --> 00:55:38,260
Mom, she's got the crowd.
667
00:55:49,271 --> 00:55:53,910
- Did you know she had a triple?
- She came to win.
668
00:55:54,008 --> 00:55:57,521
She figured that out on her computer.
669
00:55:57,656 --> 00:56:00,972
Mom, the computer
doesn't make the jumps for you.
670
00:56:24,825 --> 00:56:26,864
Number one! Yes!
671
00:56:26,937 --> 00:56:28,661
- Yeah!
- You crushed, baby!
672
00:56:28,729 --> 00:56:30,901
It's only the short, shorty.
673
00:56:34,490 --> 00:56:37,303
- Fourth.
- We'll take it.
674
00:56:37,369 --> 00:56:39,224
Fifth, that's great!
675
00:56:39,322 --> 00:56:41,494
Yeah, but fifth
doesn't go to sectionals.
676
00:56:41,562 --> 00:56:44,312
Skate a clean program tonight,
you can move up.
677
00:56:44,378 --> 00:56:46,385
Knock me out of fourth.
678
00:56:51,002 --> 00:56:54,547
Casey,
you almost lost a boot out there.
679
00:56:54,650 --> 00:56:59,090
- I know, it's giving out.
- I think you'd better come with me.
680
00:57:01,947 --> 00:57:04,532
- How do they feel?
- I really can't accept these.
681
00:57:04,635 --> 00:57:06,904
Just show me you deserve them.
682
00:57:06,970 --> 00:57:09,426
And we'll need a pair of blades.
683
00:57:09,532 --> 00:57:11,953
I'll have them sharpened for you
right away.
684
00:57:12,028 --> 00:57:14,548
Tina, I can't believe
that you would help...
685
00:57:14,620 --> 00:57:16,212
No fawning.
686
00:57:16,314 --> 00:57:17,558
No.
687
00:57:17,626 --> 00:57:19,252
Just...
688
00:57:19,355 --> 00:57:21,014
Thank you.
689
00:57:24,028 --> 00:57:27,225
And the next performer
in the Junior Ladies Free Skate
690
00:57:27,292 --> 00:57:30,391
is Casey Carlyle
from Millbrook, Connecticut.
691
00:58:11,581 --> 00:58:13,370
Oh!
692
00:58:51,102 --> 00:58:53,076
Who is it?
693
00:58:53,150 --> 00:58:55,094
And that's how it's done, dwarf.
694
00:58:55,167 --> 00:58:57,437
Shut up, pincushion.
695
00:58:57,536 --> 00:58:59,259
Come on, sweetie.
696
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,269
Excuse me.
697
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,357
I'm going to sectionals!
698
00:59:07,423 --> 00:59:08,633
Good girl!
699
00:59:08,704 --> 00:59:11,071
Congratulations!
700
00:59:24,577 --> 00:59:26,583
Are those new?
701
00:59:27,615 --> 00:59:29,111
- Yeah.
- Are you crazy?
702
00:59:29,184 --> 00:59:31,256
You can't compete on new skates.
703
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,230
They take, like,
a minimum of ten days to break in.
704
00:59:34,336 --> 00:59:37,020
- Everybody knows that.
- But Tina didn't tell me.
705
00:59:37,088 --> 00:59:39,227
You mean Tina,
whose robot daughter
706
00:59:39,296 --> 00:59:41,914
almost didn't make sectionals
because of you?
707
00:59:42,016 --> 00:59:43,805
Typical Tina Harwood.
708
00:59:43,872 --> 00:59:45,912
Just like Sarajevo.
709
00:59:47,009 --> 00:59:49,944
You don't know anything, do you?
710
00:59:50,049 --> 00:59:52,057
They kicked her out.
711
00:59:53,185 --> 00:59:56,960
You might wanna reconsider
that no-coach thing.
712
00:59:59,169 --> 01:00:01,340
Bye, new girl.
713
01:00:01,441 --> 01:00:05,118
- Meet at the van in 40 minutes.
- Okay, sure thing.
714
01:00:08,385 --> 01:00:09,814
There she is.
715
01:00:09,889 --> 01:00:11,712
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
716
01:00:11,809 --> 01:00:15,192
- You were awesome.
- I am so happy that it's over.
717
01:00:16,643 --> 01:00:19,937
- Are you happy about my feet?
- What?
718
01:00:20,033 --> 01:00:23,830
I'm sorry, Casey,
but your old skates were a mess.
719
01:00:23,906 --> 01:00:26,240
You bought her new skates?
720
01:00:26,305 --> 01:00:29,240
Please, like you didn't know.
721
01:00:29,314 --> 01:00:32,794
- Casey, I didn't!
- How can you lie to my face?
722
01:00:32,897 --> 01:00:35,134
You're just as bad as she is.
723
01:00:35,202 --> 01:00:38,649
- Hey, ease up, Casey.
- Oh, just defend her!
724
01:00:38,753 --> 01:00:40,413
Like you weren't part of it.
725
01:00:40,546 --> 01:00:44,377
- How could you think that?
- Because it's true.
726
01:00:44,484 --> 01:00:49,120
You set me up. All of you.
727
01:00:49,218 --> 01:00:51,456
What kind of people are you?
728
01:00:59,939 --> 01:01:02,144
Come on, let's go.
729
01:01:02,243 --> 01:01:04,032
Mom?
730
01:01:05,539 --> 01:01:07,744
Can you come and get me?
731
01:01:11,364 --> 01:01:14,179
I'm at the skating rink at Westerly.
732
01:01:16,067 --> 01:01:18,106
I want to come home.
733
01:01:29,956 --> 01:01:33,502
Honey, get in the car.
Just get in the car, honey.
734
01:01:33,573 --> 01:01:37,086
- How dare you?
- Just hang on, kids.
735
01:01:37,157 --> 01:01:40,702
You think you can just waltz away
after injuring my daughter?
736
01:01:40,773 --> 01:01:41,755
It's Joan, right?
737
01:01:41,829 --> 01:01:45,539
Pulling her away from her studies
behind my back?
738
01:01:45,605 --> 01:01:51,040
Filling her head with a fantasy that she
can skate and sabotaging her chances?
739
01:01:51,110 --> 01:01:54,884
I did you a favor. You didn't want this
for Casey and you're right.
740
01:01:54,981 --> 01:01:56,869
She's not cut out for it.
741
01:01:56,934 --> 01:01:59,684
Is she gifted? I'll give her that.
742
01:01:59,750 --> 01:02:03,165
But Casey won't fight for it.
She's too polite to do what you have to.
743
01:02:03,269 --> 01:02:07,097
To push past everyone and everything
and just take it.
744
01:02:07,174 --> 01:02:12,225
So that's the example
you set for your daughter.
745
01:02:12,326 --> 01:02:16,036
To lie and to sneak around
and to cheat.
746
01:02:19,718 --> 01:02:25,021
I made my daughter strong, and you made
Casey at home in a lecture hall.
747
01:02:25,094 --> 01:02:28,891
And she'll do very well there.
So you see, we agree.
748
01:02:28,999 --> 01:02:33,787
My daughter's brilliant and will
succeed at whatever she does.
749
01:02:33,895 --> 01:02:36,066
But she will do it the right way
750
01:02:36,135 --> 01:02:40,292
despite people like you
trying to convince her otherwise.
751
01:03:21,545 --> 01:03:23,518
Casey!
752
01:03:24,328 --> 01:03:27,263
- I'm in shape. I can keep up with you.
- Go away.
753
01:03:27,369 --> 01:03:30,271
- Casey, I didn't know!
- Right!
754
01:03:33,577 --> 01:03:39,108
Where have you been? You are aware
you had practice half an hour ago?
755
01:03:39,210 --> 01:03:42,309
- Yes, I'm aware.
- And?
756
01:03:42,409 --> 01:03:44,547
And I'm done.
757
01:03:47,689 --> 01:03:49,893
Done?
758
01:03:56,842 --> 01:03:58,752
I'm quitting.
759
01:03:58,825 --> 01:04:01,957
You've got to be kidding.
That's ridiculous.
760
01:04:02,025 --> 01:04:06,280
No, I was ridiculous for putting myself
through this for so long.
761
01:04:06,346 --> 01:04:08,288
We both know I don't have the talent.
762
01:04:08,362 --> 01:04:12,105
Perseverance is nine tenths
of mastering any sport.
763
01:04:12,267 --> 01:04:16,706
Do you know what I want?
No, you don't know what I want.
764
01:04:16,779 --> 01:04:18,786
Because you never cared.
765
01:04:22,507 --> 01:04:26,337
If you have any sense
of self preservation, you'll scatter.
766
01:04:34,602 --> 01:04:38,312
- I'm listening.
- I wanna stop missing school.
767
01:04:38,379 --> 01:04:39,940
I like school.
768
01:04:40,044 --> 01:04:43,688
You know, it's stupid
and the band will probably be horrible,
769
01:04:43,754 --> 01:04:47,781
but I wanna go
to the homecoming dance.
770
01:04:47,882 --> 01:04:50,501
And I wanna go with Brian.
771
01:04:50,571 --> 01:04:54,850
I want to stop feeling an idiot
for flunking math
772
01:04:54,956 --> 01:04:57,027
because I don't have time to learn it.
773
01:04:58,571 --> 01:05:01,889
- And I want...
- All right. All right.
774
01:05:01,996 --> 01:05:06,055
- I can see maybe we've overdone it.
- Overdone it?
775
01:05:07,534 --> 01:05:10,020
Just a little.
776
01:05:10,092 --> 01:05:12,264
Casey's skates, Mom.
777
01:05:19,212 --> 01:05:21,546
We'll continue this discussion at home.
778
01:05:42,446 --> 01:05:46,275
- You heard the whole thing?
- Yeah.
779
01:05:50,348 --> 01:05:51,975
Are you okay?
780
01:05:54,382 --> 01:05:59,118
It's your slot, Casey.
If I drop out, you're next.
781
01:06:00,143 --> 01:06:02,181
You'll go to sectionals.
782
01:06:03,183 --> 01:06:04,808
No.
783
01:06:06,031 --> 01:06:10,025
Thanks.
Tomorrow's my Harvard interview.
784
01:06:10,095 --> 01:06:13,739
That's my slot.
That's what I should be doing.
785
01:06:13,839 --> 01:06:15,943
You sure about that?
786
01:06:25,008 --> 01:06:27,493
It's a nice little experiment.
787
01:06:28,687 --> 01:06:33,543
How does a triple loop jump
entitle you to a physics scholarship?
788
01:06:33,616 --> 01:06:40,391
The proof of the experiment isn't in
the mumbo jumbo of the calculations.
789
01:06:40,463 --> 01:06:45,284
It's in the improvement in the skating
of three junior champions.
790
01:06:46,256 --> 01:06:50,664
I also applied the findings
to my own skating and...
791
01:06:53,712 --> 01:06:58,055
...and actually managed
to implement the experiment
792
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:03,376
in a very rewarding
and entirely personal way.
793
01:07:03,442 --> 01:07:04,750
Well, good,
794
01:07:04,817 --> 01:07:08,264
because passion is a key component
of what we look for in students.
795
01:07:08,368 --> 01:07:11,685
Passion makes people
go on to do exceptional things.
796
01:07:11,792 --> 01:07:17,455
So, Casey,
why are you passionate about Harvard?
797
01:07:31,026 --> 01:07:32,553
Dr. Healey,
798
01:07:32,625 --> 01:07:37,513
my mom and I have been imagining
Harvard practically my whole life.
799
01:07:39,923 --> 01:07:45,193
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but what I need to be doing,
800
01:07:47,761 --> 01:07:49,420
I can't do here.
801
01:07:50,227 --> 01:07:52,398
I'm sorry I've wasted your time.
802
01:07:54,675 --> 01:07:56,649
I'm so sorry.
803
01:08:01,234 --> 01:08:05,871
Miss Carlyle, we won't reschedule.
804
01:08:07,122 --> 01:08:09,097
I know.
805
01:08:20,883 --> 01:08:26,185
You can't do this, Case.
You're giving up your dream.
806
01:08:26,258 --> 01:08:30,154
No, Mom,
I'm giving up your dream.
807
01:08:32,725 --> 01:08:34,732
I'm going after mine.
808
01:09:47,318 --> 01:09:50,995
- How did you know?
- Didn't think you'd give up.
809
01:09:51,063 --> 01:09:54,128
Which meant you'd be out here
bumping it out.
810
01:09:54,198 --> 01:09:58,868
Teddy, I've been trying to find
some way to apologize.
811
01:09:58,966 --> 01:10:01,814
I've got some ideas about that.
812
01:10:01,878 --> 01:10:04,301
Medium smooth or glassy?
813
01:10:46,648 --> 01:10:53,489
I can't have a conversation with anybody
I haven't known since kindergarten,
814
01:10:53,559 --> 01:10:56,430
so how come I can do that
in front of you?
815
01:10:58,008 --> 01:11:00,659
Because you let people see you
when you skate.
816
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:07,507
But, Casey,
you can't win going it alone.
817
01:11:07,609 --> 01:11:09,681
You're gonna need some help.
818
01:11:35,355 --> 01:11:38,998
- What do you want?
- Five minutes.
819
01:11:39,962 --> 01:11:42,418
You owe me that much.
820
01:11:48,282 --> 01:11:51,511
If you're here for an apology,
you won't get one.
821
01:11:51,578 --> 01:11:53,913
I'm not here for an apology.
822
01:11:53,979 --> 01:11:56,400
Tell me what happened in Sarajevo.
823
01:11:57,563 --> 01:11:59,505
Why didn't you win?
824
01:12:02,811 --> 01:12:05,747
I had an unfortunate warm-up
before my short program.
825
01:12:05,819 --> 01:12:09,114
I collided with another skater
and she got hurt.
826
01:12:09,211 --> 01:12:11,666
Are you sorry?
827
01:12:13,499 --> 01:12:18,715
Look, I paid my dues.
I was suspended.
828
01:12:18,812 --> 01:12:23,568
By the time they considered reinstating
me, I was 26 and it was too late.
829
01:12:23,675 --> 01:12:29,427
But there isn't a day goes by that
I don't wish I could relive that moment
830
01:12:30,973 --> 01:12:32,828
and do it differently.
831
01:12:38,140 --> 01:12:40,213
I want you to coach me for sectionals.
832
01:12:43,612 --> 01:12:46,231
Why on earth would I do that?
833
01:12:46,301 --> 01:12:50,009
Because you don't have a skater
and I don't have a coach.
834
01:12:50,076 --> 01:12:53,425
- We're a perfect match.
- I don't think you have what it takes.
835
01:12:55,709 --> 01:12:58,939
Tina, I have to do this.
836
01:12:59,037 --> 01:13:01,459
I want this more than
I've ever wanted anything.
837
01:13:03,420 --> 01:13:05,397
I said no to Harvard.
838
01:13:07,165 --> 01:13:10,035
I will work harder than
any skater you have ever trained.
839
01:13:10,175 --> 01:13:12,760
And if I fail, I fail,
840
01:13:12,830 --> 01:13:16,604
but because I wasn't good enough,
not because I didn't have the guts.
841
01:13:16,669 --> 01:13:22,170
I want to know what I can do in
this sport, and I'm going to find out.
842
01:13:34,590 --> 01:13:39,675
The rink. Tomorrow, 5:30a. m.,
and get a good night's sleep.
843
01:13:40,832 --> 01:13:42,805
You're gonna need it.
844
01:13:48,255 --> 01:13:53,373
That you'd even consider
letting that woman back into your head!
845
01:13:53,440 --> 01:13:55,610
I don't have to like her or trust her.
846
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,429
No, you just wanna
spend all your time with her.
847
01:13:58,495 --> 01:14:01,911
- I'm not gonna turn into her.
- She's already rubbed off on you.
848
01:14:02,016 --> 01:14:03,357
That's not true.
849
01:14:03,456 --> 01:14:06,455
Where did this hair come from?
And the make-up and shirt?
850
01:14:06,527 --> 01:14:08,796
I did not buy you that shirt.
851
01:14:08,895 --> 01:14:10,684
That has nothing to do with it.
852
01:14:10,752 --> 01:14:14,975
I think you wanna be exactly like her,
and if you happen to lie now and again,
853
01:14:15,104 --> 01:14:17,755
well, hey, at least you'll be glamorous.
854
01:14:17,824 --> 01:14:20,540
You think this is about glamour?
855
01:14:20,608 --> 01:14:24,765
It is a sport, Mom.
It is a thrilling and beautiful sport.
856
01:14:24,831 --> 01:14:28,214
Are you sure it doesn't
just make you feel beautiful?
857
01:14:28,288 --> 01:14:30,044
So what if it does?
858
01:14:30,113 --> 01:14:32,088
What is so horrible about that?
859
01:14:32,192 --> 01:14:37,145
About feeling strong and graceful
and beautiful for once in my life?
860
01:14:42,178 --> 01:14:44,544
Why are you jealous of her?
861
01:14:46,562 --> 01:14:49,212
Well, I guess no matter how old we get,
862
01:14:49,314 --> 01:14:52,031
the rest of us will still
always hate the prom queen.
863
01:14:58,914 --> 01:15:03,103
You know it'll always be
the Casey and Mom show.
864
01:15:05,282 --> 01:15:07,105
Do I?
865
01:15:07,873 --> 01:15:11,355
But if you could just
come to the rink and see me.
866
01:15:11,458 --> 01:15:14,076
Don't ask me! I can't!
867
01:15:14,146 --> 01:15:16,928
Come with me right now. Mom.
868
01:15:16,994 --> 01:15:21,948
Just come watch me skate,
and then tell me that I should stop.
869
01:15:22,018 --> 01:15:24,768
You know what, I have a class,
all right?
870
01:15:36,932 --> 01:15:39,005
Welcome to ESPN
871
01:15:39,076 --> 01:15:42,042
at the Eastern Sectional
Junior Ladies' Short Program.
872
01:15:42,115 --> 01:15:45,115
I have to say,
from the practice sessions I've seen,
873
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:47,489
these ladies are fired up.
874
01:15:47,555 --> 01:15:51,299
That's right. Every skater has worked
unbelievably hard to get here.
875
01:15:51,365 --> 01:15:54,560
And every one of them
is ready to compete.
876
01:16:09,092 --> 01:16:12,026
So, are you a science geek too?
877
01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:14,042
Math geek.
878
01:16:14,116 --> 01:16:19,778
Really? If I could pass math,
maybe I could get into college.
879
01:16:21,732 --> 01:16:23,554
Do you tutor?
880
01:16:24,741 --> 01:16:26,912
Do you know any cute guys?
881
01:16:55,078 --> 01:16:58,493
First up in the Ladies' Short Program
is Zoey Bloch.
882
01:16:58,565 --> 01:17:03,584
She skates all out all the time
and this crowd is just rocking out.
883
01:17:05,030 --> 01:17:09,984
Tiffany is probably the most
graceful skater in this competition,
884
01:17:10,055 --> 01:17:12,771
and she's definitely on today.
885
01:17:12,838 --> 01:17:16,897
I thought Chantal
was showing signs of nerves earlier.
886
01:17:16,998 --> 01:17:19,749
Not any more.
She's in total command out there.
887
01:17:22,663 --> 01:17:25,925
Fans call her The Jumping Shrimp
but remember that name
888
01:17:25,992 --> 01:17:29,668
because this little dynamo
has been landing massive jumps.
889
01:17:33,351 --> 01:17:37,312
The word "newcomer" doesn't
even begin to cover Casey Carlyle.
890
01:17:37,383 --> 01:17:41,442
She's never performed in
a skating competition until this season.
891
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,592
Definitely one to keep your eye on.
892
01:17:46,664 --> 01:17:48,639
The standings are
893
01:17:48,712 --> 01:17:51,842
Zoey Bloch in first place,
Nikki Fletcher in second,
894
01:17:51,912 --> 01:17:54,814
followed by Chantal DeGroat
and Casey Carlyle.
895
01:17:54,888 --> 01:17:57,638
4.8s to 4.9s! One 5.0!
896
01:17:57,704 --> 01:17:59,592
And one 4.6.
897
01:17:59,688 --> 01:18:02,656
Oh, come on!
No "good job" or "way to go"?
898
01:18:02,729 --> 01:18:05,695
- At least I landed the jumps.
- You're in the game, no more.
899
01:18:05,768 --> 01:18:08,670
I'm not seeing much fluidity
coming out of your jumps
900
01:18:08,775 --> 01:18:10,948
and that hurt you artistically.
901
01:18:11,018 --> 01:18:12,032
Remember...
902
01:18:12,138 --> 01:18:15,204
Your next movement
is always part of the previous one.
903
01:18:15,273 --> 01:18:19,462
Rub your feet for at least
five minutes and drink lots of water.
904
01:18:23,433 --> 01:18:25,156
You pulled it out, girl!
905
01:18:25,257 --> 01:18:27,940
"Only the short. It's only the short. "
906
01:18:28,042 --> 01:18:31,838
I lied. You mess up the short,
you can never win.
907
01:18:34,857 --> 01:18:37,575
Hey, did you work things out
with your mum?
908
01:18:37,705 --> 01:18:41,317
Um, we've hardly spoken in two months.
909
01:18:46,730 --> 01:18:48,737
I think I broke her heart.
910
01:18:48,810 --> 01:18:51,428
We can trace that plot line
911
01:18:51,498 --> 01:18:57,478
from Euripides through Shakespeare
crossing the pond to Mark Twain,
912
01:18:57,546 --> 01:19:02,434
finding contemporary echoes
in John Cheever or...
913
01:19:04,651 --> 01:19:06,724
...Janet Jackson.
914
01:19:06,795 --> 01:19:08,552
Don't you mean Shirley Jackson?
915
01:19:08,651 --> 01:19:12,513
You've done your reading.
916
01:19:12,587 --> 01:19:16,232
All right. Next week,
I want an essay on your candidate
917
01:19:16,331 --> 01:19:20,641
for the "less-is-more feminist writer
of the 20th Century. "
918
01:19:26,283 --> 01:19:28,441
From New York
City, New York, Emma Flanders.
919
01:19:28,475 --> 01:19:30,602
From New York
City, New York, Emma Flanders.
920
01:19:35,468 --> 01:19:38,762
This is it.
You can lose the long program
921
01:19:38,859 --> 01:19:42,308
just sitting here
if you don't prepare properly.
922
01:19:42,380 --> 01:19:44,519
- Put these in.
- Why?
923
01:19:44,588 --> 01:19:46,792
Believe me, you don't wanna know.
924
01:19:46,892 --> 01:19:48,802
If they fall, you'll get cocky,
925
01:19:48,908 --> 01:19:52,136
if they bring the crowd
to its feet, you'll feel pressure.
926
01:19:52,203 --> 01:19:54,822
No one else exists.
927
01:19:56,717 --> 01:19:58,986
Go into the bubble.
928
01:21:19,183 --> 01:21:21,321
Forget it.
929
01:21:21,390 --> 01:21:23,879
I just need to hear her voice.
930
01:21:30,063 --> 01:21:33,129
You've reached the Carlyles.
We're not here right now...
931
01:21:37,231 --> 01:21:40,776
It's not about her.
This is about you.
932
01:21:49,232 --> 01:21:53,934
Our final skater is Casey
Carlyle from Millbrook, Connecticut.
933
01:21:58,385 --> 01:21:59,531
One more thing.
934
01:21:59,602 --> 01:22:01,325
What?
935
01:22:01,392 --> 01:22:03,759
Skate with your heart.
936
01:23:15,411 --> 01:23:19,501
And here's her opening jump,
a triple Salchow.
937
01:23:34,740 --> 01:23:36,912
It's good for the nerves.
938
01:23:40,117 --> 01:23:41,709
Thanks.
939
01:24:30,070 --> 01:24:32,012
Triple loop.
940
01:24:32,086 --> 01:24:34,323
Perfect landing.
941
01:24:38,295 --> 01:24:40,715
What? She just threw in
that triple Lutz!
942
01:24:40,791 --> 01:24:43,376
Threw in's right,
complete improvisation.
943
01:24:43,511 --> 01:24:45,615
- She deviated.
- And I'll bust her for it.
944
01:24:45,718 --> 01:24:47,628
Tomorrow.
945
01:24:52,854 --> 01:24:54,764
Who said you could let go?
946
01:25:03,064 --> 01:25:06,805
I haven't seen anyone come back this far
from a disaster since Midori Ito
947
01:25:06,871 --> 01:25:08,879
in the '92 Olympics.
948
01:25:08,951 --> 01:25:11,985
That has to be
the rally of the year.
949
01:25:52,153 --> 01:25:54,226
Casey Carlyle waits for marks.
950
01:25:54,329 --> 01:25:57,524
Nikki and Zoey first and second
in the ordinals, DeGroat third.
951
01:25:57,592 --> 01:26:00,561
Will that fall cost her,
or will that rally,
952
01:26:00,634 --> 01:26:04,890
not to mention the added technical
difficulty push her past the others?
953
01:26:06,587 --> 01:26:08,442
High! 5.1 s and 5.2s.
954
01:26:08,507 --> 01:26:11,637
They're almost dead even
with Nikki Fletcher's.
955
01:26:11,705 --> 01:26:14,226
That's my daughter.
That's my daughter.
956
01:26:14,298 --> 01:26:16,502
Here's her artistic set of marks.
957
01:26:16,570 --> 01:26:18,577
Hold on. Hold on.
958
01:26:20,955 --> 01:26:23,343
Those are almost even with Nikki's.
959
01:26:27,129 --> 01:26:29,137
Did she do it?
960
01:26:29,210 --> 01:26:31,927
No, it's not enough.
She'll have to settle for silver.
961
01:26:31,994 --> 01:26:36,534
This takes her to nationals and
who knows, maybe the 2006 Olympics.
962
01:26:36,603 --> 01:26:39,025
With this skater,
anything is possible.
963
01:26:41,210 --> 01:26:42,616
Thank you.
964
01:26:46,907 --> 01:26:48,817
Case?
965
01:26:52,251 --> 01:26:54,007
Mom?
966
01:26:57,629 --> 01:27:00,628
If I'd known.
If I'd just taken ten minutes
967
01:27:00,731 --> 01:27:02,871
and gone to the rink with you,
968
01:27:02,972 --> 01:27:06,005
I never would have...
969
01:27:06,075 --> 01:27:07,832
Mom.
970
01:27:08,764 --> 01:27:10,488
I'm sorry.
971
01:27:11,773 --> 01:27:13,398
I'm so sorry.
972
01:27:15,036 --> 01:27:16,923
How could I not see?
973
01:27:19,101 --> 01:27:21,522
You see me better than anybody.
974
01:27:31,229 --> 01:27:33,203
Come on.
975
01:27:54,302 --> 01:27:56,156
Casey.
976
01:27:59,262 --> 01:28:01,117
Congratulations.
977
01:28:01,213 --> 01:28:04,891
And you can drive the Zamboni
any time you want.
978
01:28:19,647 --> 01:28:23,028
I was this close, this close to losing!
979
01:28:23,133 --> 01:28:26,233
- Where did those triples come from?!
- Sweetheart, you...
980
01:28:26,303 --> 01:28:29,499
Don't you know what'll happen
after six months with Tina?
981
01:28:29,567 --> 01:28:32,349
- What?
- She's gonna whip my butt!
982
01:28:32,478 --> 01:28:37,693
- Someone is gonna pay big time.
- Nikki. Can we have a word?
983
01:28:37,759 --> 01:28:40,726
- Hello, Peter.
- Just wanted to say congrats.
984
01:28:40,799 --> 01:28:44,543
We look forward to seeing The
Jumping Shrimp at the Nationals.
985
01:28:44,608 --> 01:28:48,981
That is so sweet. I just went out there
and skated my best.
986
01:28:49,055 --> 01:28:52,884
And today,
I guess my best was good enough.
987
01:28:54,497 --> 01:28:56,285
Love you.
988
01:28:59,937 --> 01:29:03,132
You know I can't afford this.
We'll need to find a sponsor.
989
01:29:03,199 --> 01:29:05,337
I'm on it.
Burger Blast is interested.
990
01:29:05,408 --> 01:29:09,915
Burger Blast?
Oh no, I am sorry. I'm sorry, no.
991
01:29:10,016 --> 01:29:10,998
Why not?
992
01:29:11,104 --> 01:29:13,593
If she can't eat it,
she can't endorse it.
993
01:29:13,697 --> 01:29:17,341
We'll need something healthier.
How about Grape-Nuts?
994
01:29:17,408 --> 01:29:20,190
Grape-Nuts?
What about cod liver oil?
995
01:29:20,256 --> 01:29:22,645
- Guys.
- You know, I am her mother.
996
01:29:22,721 --> 01:29:24,608
What I say goes.
She is my daughter.
997
01:29:24,672 --> 01:29:27,607
- She is my skater.
- Well, daughter trumps skater.
998
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:32,318
Well, ask any professional athlete,
coach trumps mother every time.
999
01:29:32,416 --> 01:29:34,458
Guys!
1000
01:29:38,178 --> 01:29:40,730
And that boy,
we'll need to nip that in the bud.
1001
01:29:40,801 --> 01:29:42,940
I can't go through all this
and a boy too.
1002
01:29:43,009 --> 01:29:45,626
That is a huge distraction.
It's unacceptable.
1003
01:29:45,731 --> 01:29:49,113
- I don't believe this!
- You will be busy training.
1004
01:29:49,185 --> 01:29:51,073
And four college courses.
1005
01:29:51,170 --> 01:29:54,966
Four? Are you out of your mind,
with everything she's doing?
1006
01:29:55,041 --> 01:29:56,928
All right, two.
1007
01:29:57,026 --> 01:30:00,288
- But then four in the fall.
- Only if she wins sectionals.
1008
01:30:00,386 --> 01:30:02,427
Oh, she will.
