(SKATES GRATING ON ICE)

(CROWD CHEERING)

* Do it again
Tell me what
you're waiting for

* Oh, you're such a hottie

* Turning your body
on the dance floor

* Girl, you know you got it

* Gonna make you feel
feel all right

* God, it's such a feeling
When you get with me, baby

* See a girl across the room

* And you know that you

* Got my attention

* I gotta mention

* I'm feeling you, baby

* Thinking that maybe
we could spend some time

* Girl, you

* Girl, you know you want it

* Come and get it
Tell me what
you're waiting for

* Oh, you're such a hottie

We're here at
the Pan Pacifics in Tokyo,

where Bright and Halyard
are flawless, Rob.

I could not agree
with you more, Lori.
...you more, Lori.

Looks like another nail-biter.
Looks like another nail-biter.

But what else is new?
But what else is new?

* Night is young
and we've just begun to see

ROB ON TV: Oh, look at this.

Big marks for
Bright and Halyard.

* Feeling you baby

* Thinking that maybe

Only Zack Conroy
and Celeste Mercier
can catch them.

(MUTES TV)
And speaking of which,

it's America's
gold-medal hopefuls,
Zack and Celeste.

And it's showtime.

* One more time

* I'm feeling you, baby

* Thinking that maybe
it's time for us to go, girl

CELESTE: Come on, Zack.
Let's go.

Let me guess.

You had company last night?

And some fun it was.

All she wanted to do
was talk about skating.

Really?
Now, that's a big surprise.

ROB ON TV: And so,
the gold medal goes to
Bright and Halyard.

They are the Pan Pacific's...

ZACK: Second.

I hate second.

Well, I hate second, too.

But come nationals,
we're gonna be
right there, you know?

Oh, my God!

My ass is sagging. Look!

ZACK: Looks good to me.

Let's go.

* Tell me what
you're waiting for

* Oh, you're such a hottie

* Turning your body
on the dance floor

* Dance, you know you want it
Come and get it

* I'll make you feel all right

* Gonna set you free, baby

* Baby, gonna dance
all night *

GIRL: Zack, I love you.

GUARD: Get back.

I believe this just about
sums things up, kids.

Yes? No? Anyone?

Jason and Cindy
cannot beat you again
in Miami.

They won't.

Well, they did in Tokyo.

Forget Tokyo.

They were flawless,
we weren't.

If we execute, we win.

ZACK: Not with
the routine we're skating.

CELESTE: Here we go again.

"They're tired,
they're old,
they're boring."

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

ZACK: We've just
skated it too long.
Yeah?

We gotta do something...
Less boring?

Funny. Bryan
doesn't think I'm boring.

ZACK: That's because
he's busy trying to
get in your pants.

I'm serious.
Bryan's routines are
not just dull for me.

You deserve more.

You mean
you deserve more.

I mean we deserve more.

What "we"?

We're over and that's fine.
But this?

This is business.

Pretending to be
America's Sweethearts?

It's a joke.

Maybe, but it
pays the bills.

When did it become
all about the money?

We used to be a team.

A great team.
Always a team.

I'm so sick of this.
I want to get back
to how it used to be.

Me, too.

Good.

Try something with me.

ZACK: Do you trust me?

CELESTE: Absolutely.

Yeah, I'll call you back.

Zack, I'm not ready! Zack!

No!

(CELESTE CRYING)

GIRL 1: Celeste?

GIRL 2: She's hurt!

No, I want Hickman waiting
for us at the hospital
when we get there.

Can we get a bit of
privacy here? Please.

What'd they say?

They think it's
a fractured ankle.

So that's two months
in a cast, and...

A few more in rehab.

So there goes nationals.

I...
No, it was me.

I was stupid,
and out of position.

I should've stopped,
but I just froze.

I was going too fast.
I was...

I was pushing you too hard.

What you said to me,

about us always being a team?

That was about
the sweetest thing
anyone has ever said to me.

Ever.

BRYAN: Yeah. It's not good.

* Finally
Your day begins

* Empty thoughts
Willing to pretend

I understand. Of course.
See you at the nationals.
Yeah.

Well, he's not
a singles skater.

I know.

He needs a partner.

He's a dangerous skater,
Celeste.
He's always pushing it.

It's a miracle
something like this
didn't happen sooner.

Thank God
it wasn't any worse.

No, he's not dangerous.
He's brilliant.

But you got
a fractured ankle,
and I can't find anyone else

willing to
partner up with him.

I don't believe that.

Trust me, Celeste.

I made the calls.

* And I just want to know...

Come on.

Let's get you
to that doctor's
appointment.

* And I just want to say
That you're all right

* And I just want to hear
You laughing

* And I just want to see
Your smile again *

Hey! You son of a bitch!
Are you blind?

If you're looking
for a dancing partner,
there, mamacita,

I don't swing that way.

This is my ice till 5:00.

Was your ice.

I don't care if
your grandfather owns
the joint. We got it booked.

(WHISPERING) Stupid.

I swear...
What?

That's all you
got to say, man?

Tell you what, there,
cara de queso.

Since you're not too
strong on apologies,
I say we put it on the ice.

Then we'll see
who's really sorry, huh?

Let's go.

Let's do it.

Come on.

* Bounce if you wanna
Just bounce and bounce

* And move if you wanna
Just move, and move

* So all the B-boy's B-girls
Hit the floor

* Bounce if you wanna
Just bounce and bounce

* And move if you wanna
Just move, and move

* Come on, B-boy's B-girls
Hit the floor

* Here we go now
Let's go, let's go

* If I can do it,
you can do it

* If you can do it,
they can do it

* If we can do it,
what we doing
Let's start moving

* Bounce if you wanna
Just bounce and bounce

* And move if you wanna
Just move, and move

* So all the B-boy's B-girls
Hit the floor

* Here we go now
Let's go, let's go

* Bounce if you wanna
Just bounce and bounce

* And move if you wanna
Just move, and move

* Come on, B-boy's B-girls
Hit the floor

* Here we go now
Let's go, let's go *

Is that all you got?

* Who are you, boy?

* And what is your point?

* Who are you, you...

* Who are you, boy?

* And what is your point?

* Who are you, boy?

* Who are you, boy?

* Who are you, you...

* Who are you, boy?

* And what is your point?

* Who are you, boy?

* And what is your point?

* Who are you, boy?

* Don't look back down

* Who are you?

* Who are you?

PLAYER:
What's wrong with you?

ZACK: Hey, get... Get off me!

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

She's got good form.
Yeah.

You guys are
wasting your time.

We're just looking, okay?

You don't see me asking you
to skate with any
of them, do you?

Not yet.

Okay, what the hell's
that supposed to mean?

Please forgive me,
Zack, for trying to
further your career.

(SIGHS)

You really want me to skate
with someone else?

It's the only thing
that makes sense.

Okay,

and if we go to
nationals and qualify,

what do I do with
this new partner?

Well.

It may not be
such a problem.

At least,
not with her.

Oh, no.

Not the bad-assed
Russian bimbo.

BRYAN: Misha is
the only one not afraid
to skate with you, Zack.

She called when
she heard about what
happened with Celeste.

It appears as though
she wants to leave Rudy.

I contacted her people,
and it can be worked out.

She's the only truly
qualified candidate,

and she doesn't
create a problem
with my transition back.

I get healthy,
she moves on.
She's a godsend.

No.

She's
a misanthropic man-eater
who neutered poor Rudy,

and I am in no way
volunteering to
take his place.

There. Look.
You see what she's saying?

"You slip up again, you SOB,
and so help me..."

CELESTE:
Her lips aren't even moving.

Well, that's because
she's learned to talk

through clenched teeth,
so she...
Enough.

Bryan is
setting up a meeting.
And you will skate with her,

and we will make
the decision as a team.

This is business, remember?

Yeah.

(INAUDIBLE)

Damn.

WOMAN: Oh, here.
Let me get that for you.

(SALSA MUSIC PLAYING)

Here you go.

You can't carry
one at a time, hey?

Well, not if we're
gonna keep them happy.
This place gets any busier,

you and Pop are gonna have to
get back to work, you know,

and manufacture
some new help.

Don't even think
of such things.

Go back to study now.
You've got a class tonight.

Don't tell me.
You came all the way here
for the horchata?

Well, I was thinking
of trying the menudo.

Figured I'd ask your opinion.

Well, chiquititas like you
should never eat menudo.

In fact, they should
stay away from any of
the duskier flavors,

if you know what I mean.

How'd you find us,
anyway?

I looked up your league
in the park's registry.

This isn't exactly
the first taco stand
I've been to today.

Good.

Then lunch is
officially over.

Look,

I just want to know
if that girl on your team
will skate with me,

professionally,
as a tryout.
It's what I do.

I know what you do,
and I know what you are.

I watched your
grandfather develop
the Conroy Center.

Amazing how a nice
little neighborhood
had to disappear

so you could have
that fancy ice rink
all to yourself, right?

Right. Do you know what?

I still want to
talk to the girl.

All right.

Okay, listen.

You want to ask
Alex something,
ask her yourself.

You mind?

All right? Enjoy.

Thank you.

Look, just give me
five minutes.

(SIGHS)

You're wasting your time.

I don't go for
guys in leotards.

Okay, good.
Then there won't be
any romantic distractions.

Let me ask you a question.
Will you skate with me?

Go on.

ALEX: What makes
you think I can do it?

ZACK: When I saw you
on the ice, remember?
Or was that someone else?

All you saw was
my dust, baby.

Not a great
selling point for you.

I was wearing
figure skates.

(SCOFFS) Figure,
hockey, roller.

Strap them on, and I'll
smoke you every time.

See? That's what
I'm talking about.

You know you're good,
and so do I.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean
I can do triple-toes
and salchows.

I mean, I haven't worn
figure skates since I was 10.

Well, that's what
coaches are for.

Come on.
You got nothing to lose.

Oh, really?
'Cause I have
nothing better to do

than to make a fool of myself
in front of you
and your friends.

It won't be like that.

I promise.

I have to get back to work.

Hey.

Think about it.

You could call me,

or show up at
the rink at 3:00.

Yeah.

Ah, Celeste.
So when are you back?

Four months.
Give or take.

Not until after Paris?
Well, that has to suck.

BRYAN:
Yeah, I'll call you back.

I have exactly
one hour, Bryan.

Not a problem.

He's here.

You're late.

Would you be on time
for your own execution?

Darling boy.
Misha.

Great to see you,
and glamorous as ever.

I try.
I know.

And how's Rudy?

Not dead. Yet.

Bryan says you're
afraid to skate with me.

Well, after Celeste's leg...
That was an accident.

I try to protect my partner.

Don't we all?

Well, that's not
what Rudy said.

He said in Tokyo that
you threatened to...

How did he put it?

(SCOFFS)

That son of a bitch!

(SCREAMS)

(SCOFFS) I am
going back to Moscow.

I'm so sorry.
Are you all right?
Like you really care.

Ice looks good today.

Well, that went well.

BRYAN: Very clever.
Very neatly done.

I just hope you have
a reasonable explanation,
or at least an alternative.

Can you just wait?
For what?

For you to grow up?

(GREETING IN SPANISH)

Meet the alternative.

Dropped your phone.

Thanks for letting
me use your skates.

Don't worry about it.

It's not like I'm using them.

(EXCLAIMING)

It's been so long,
I forgot how uncomfortable
these things are.

All right.

Watch your edges,
they're sharper.

And relax.

And don't forget
about the toe...

Picks.

Thank you.

Didn't see that coming.

I'm good.

All right, let's try
some moves in the field.

Do you hear me?

Maybe not.
What do you
want me to do?

(SIGHS)

BRYAN: Moves in the field.

Three turns,
mohawks, chocktaws,
spirals, you know...

Moves.

Why didn't you
just say so?

Okay.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay, so she's been
watching some skating,

and yes, Zack,
she's an athlete.
But she hasn't shown me

anything
I couldn't get out of
a fourth-grade prospect.

Oh, really?

Let me skate with her.

Be my guest.

You...
Are you comfortable?

Sure, your coach
made me feel so at home,
it's like we're family.

Yeah. Here.

All right.
Arms straight.

(SIGHS)

Okay, we'll...
We'll work from strokes
into crossovers, and...

When you're okay with it,
we'll throw in some jumps.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Okay, then.

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

ZACK: Okay, there you go.

Are we good?

That all you got?

Three turn
on your left foot.

(ALEX YELPS)

Whoa!

Hold on.

Well?

Sixth grade, maybe.
Barely ready for junior high.

That girl hasn't
worn figure skates
since she was 10 years old.

You saw what she did
in less than half an hour.

Look, we gave her a shot.

She's just not cutting it.

Can we please
try somebody else?

I'll see you tomorrow.

I saw it.

And?

You'll never have her
ready in time...

But there's definitely
something there.

Come on,
help me in my car.

You feeling okay, hijita?

You don't have to play, ama.

I know Bobby
told you everything.

Okay.

So, how did it go?

The coach was right.
I have no place there.

The coach, sure,
but the other one.
What did he think?

He's still talking
about skating with me

and going to
the nationals
and to Paris.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

But he's a famous skater,

and if he wants
to skate with you,

then that means
something, no?

No.

Maybe.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

This is what
you always wanted.

No.

Let me show you something.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

These were
the most important things
in your life once.

You slept with them.

You even wanted to
wear them to school.

(LAUGHING)

But when we could
no longer afford
the lessons,

you threw them
to the garbage.

It's okay to be afraid,
mi amor.

But don't let the fear
keep you from doing
what you were meant to do.

It hurts too much, mami...

To want something
like that and lose it.

You don't know how many times
I cried myself to sleep.

I know you cried.

Because I stood
outside your door
and listened.

And I cried, too.

This passion you have

is so much
a part of your spirit.

Had I known,
I would have given my life

not to have
taken it from you.

I know.

There are few second chances
in life, Alexandra.

And this opportunity...

Forget the risk and fear.

You have to try.

Okay, mami.

Let's, um...

Let's try a platter lift.

ZACK: Do you know
what a platter lift is?

No.
Okay, I'm going
to put my hands

down to your stomach.
Down here.

* All the homies
They know what I mean

* Baby, let me show you
how I lean
* Like a cholo

* Lay back
Bounce in the club

* When we do a dance, yeah
We do it like what?

* Like a...
Like a cholo

* Side to side

* Elbows up
Side to side

* Elbows up
Side to side

(ALEX SHRIEKING)

* Side to side
Like a cholo

* All up in the club
Ten deep

* Lookin' for some hyenas
We on the creep

* I need a bad one
A real freak

* Find them at the dance floor
So don't sleep

* Damn, I like you, I like you
But a really want her

* She's that type
I can tell

* Let me get in too deep
Take her back to the hotel

* Side to side

* Elbows up
Side to side

* I lean like a cholo

* Side to side

* Elbows up
Side to side

* Elbows up
Side to side

* Elbows up
Side to side

* I lean like a cholo

* Side to side

* Elbows up
Side to side

* Fingers on the track

So when are you
really going to start
working with them?

I'm not.

When Zack comes to his senses
and finds a real partner,
we'll talk.

You should work
your quads more.

Skating really stresses them.

Trust me,
I'm in a kinesiology program
at the junior college.

Thought I might like
to work with some big,
bad pro athletes one day.

Yeah? Like me?

I wouldn't call dressing up
like Ken and Barbie "bad."

Is that your press?

Probably mostly for you.

I hope they don't think
I'm your girlfriend.

What do I say?

Doesn't matter,
as long as you smile.

REPORTER:
Hi, WIXB news, can we have
a little chat for your fans?

Thank you so much.
Right over here.
Of course.

So, how's
the training going?

You know,
it's coming along.

We've been at it
a couple weeks now.

Starting to figure
out the timing...

We'll be ready.

Are you nervous
about the competition?

I'm not his girlfriend.

Press. Pain in the butt.

Yeah, but you know,
she looks pretty good.

My prized ice shark
has found himself
a new piece of meat.

Not a particularly
choice cut, if you ask me.

Hey, that's my sister
you're talking about.

Spare me the
not-with-my-sister routine.

Whoa, whoa! Whoa!
Come again?

BRYAN: Is this
where we do the macho?

Oh, you mean
like the dance?

Yeah, sure,
how about if I lead, huh?

ALEX: Bobby, Bobby.
Bobby, don't!

(ALL SHOUTING)

Come on!
Come on! Bring it on!

This is WIX...

Hey, you really don't want to
get into it with him.

Oh, I see.
Is this where you protect
your future brother-in-law?

This isn't cool.
Let go of me!

Chill.
You know what?

We're through.
What?

I told you this was
going to be a disaster,
but you never listen to me.

So, you want to throw
your career away, you do it.

But do it without me.

Life's been too easy
for you, young man.

You never had
to work for it
like the rest of us.

That's why
you'll never put it
all on the line, Zack.

I shouldn't have
wasted my time with you.

Come on, Celeste.
I'll take you home.

Get the camera
out of my face.

Did you get it?

(RAP SONG PLAYING)

Hi, this is Bryan.
Leave a message.

So, did you get
the twin turbos
with the 18" wheels?

Yup.
Me, too.

(CAR ALARM BEEPS)

Beep, beep!

By the way,

my brother said
to tell you thanks

for breaking things up
the other day.

He's really sorry
for how things turned out.

No, that's all right.
Bryan was asking for it.
It was long overdue.

Wait, what are
we doing here?

Looking for a gold medal.

JACKIE: Sabrina,
no, no, no. Honey.

No, no, no, no.
Don't pull Abigail down
when you're gonna fall down.

That makes both
of you fall down.

Jackie.

Well, well.

What has it been,
five years since Torino?

And Zack Conroy finally sees
he can't live without me.

Hi.

Or not.

Alex,
meet Jackie Dorsey.

Your new coach.

I'm sorry, what?
Yeah, well...
I'm not a coach.

Oh, no worries.
She's not a figure skater.

Hey!

You know,
I'm going to go play
with the big kids.

Okay? Yeah?
Okay, go.

She's getting there.
We just need some help.

Jack, you don't want to be
teaching kids to do T-stops

for the rest of
your life, do you?

As a matter of fact
I do.

After my marriage
and the injuries,
these kids saved my life.

Hi!
That was some
showstopper with Bryan.

ESPN's been
playing it so much

that you should probably
be getting royalties.

So you're not entirely
surprised to see us?

No, and I was prepared
to turn you down flat,

but seeing you here,
and her...

I'm more than
a little curious.

Yeah?

So, you're a hockey player.

Yeah.

So's my dad.

Dorsey.
Doug Dorsey!

He's your dad?
Mmm-hmm.

(EXCLAIMS)
Great hockey player.

Yeah, he was
a pretty good
figure skater, too.

Because he had a great coach.

You really think
you can do this?

Well,
with your help, who knows?

Come on, Jack,
do it for the old man.

He was an outsider,
and he became great.

It's not about being
great anymore, Zack.

You have to be perfect.

And what?
I mean, what are you guys
going to do for a routine?

Nationals are in,
like, ten minutes.

Five, actually.

I actually know
all the routines from
the last three Olympics.

I memorized them all.

You guys have to
work seven days a week,
and long hours,

if you have any
chance of getting
on the ice in Miami.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I want you breathing,
eating, everything
but sleeping together,

from now until nationals.

That's what my mom
and my dad had to do.

And let me emphasize
the "not sleeping
together" part.

(ALEX CHUCKLING)

Well, Zack's more than welcome
to move into the restaurant
and don't worry.

My brother will make sure
he doesn't do any sleeping.

Sorry.
So?

It's a hockey thing.

Come on.

* Talk to me,
can you turn me on?

* If I give it to you
will you play me on?

Hey.
Yeah?

You did good
in there today.

Thanks.

Oh, these routines...

Have I seen these?

No.

Not yet.

(ENGINE STALLS)

* If you talk to me
Will you turn me on?

* If I give it to you
Will you play me on?

ALEX: That sure is
a pretty car you have.

ZACK: Yeah, and I think

it looked especially sporty
behind that shiny new
tow truck.

* If I give it to you
Will you turn me on?
* Hit it hard, come on

* 12:30 is still
kind of early

* For to slide in

* Hit the bar
and order strong Islands

* Rum and Coke
For my other folks

* There's a freak
on the other side
so that you know *

(MUSIC STOPS)

So, thanks for the ride.

You live here?

Yeah,
do you want to come in?

Yeah!

Grab your gym bag,
we'll go for a run.

Wow.

Yeah.

How do you like it?

Cozy.

You can change
in the bathroom
if you want.

Where?

There's five of them.
Take your pick.

I share a closet
with my brother,

and this kid's
got five bathrooms.

All this belongs
to your family?

My grandfather.

He and I are all that's left
since I lost my parents.

ALEX:
I read about that online.

You were three?
Yeah.

Too young to remember.

Most of my childhood
revolves around places,
not people, anyway.

You know,
big houses, city apartments,
hotels and uniformed help.

Are you and your
grandfather close?

About 15 miles.

He flies in and out
in his chopper.

I wave as he passes.

You're looking tired.

(SCOFFS) Uh-uh.

I hope you don't
mind me being nosy,
but your girlfriend.

Is she okay with
what we're doing?

You know that's hype
about us being a couple.
That was a long time ago.

Zack, I know what
my eyes tell me.

And she cares for you
as more than just a friend.

Well,

your partner is
more than a friend.

You sweat and hurt,

and win and lose together.

And, most of all,
you have to trust
each other with your lives.

But that's just coming
from a spoiled rich kid,

so what do I know?

Where you going, huh?

What, do you think
you can outrun me?

Zack! I'm warning you...
What?

(SCREAMING)

Zack!

It's cold!
Freezing! No heater.

(ZACK LAUGHING)

Here.

Thanks.

Yeah. Do you want
some tea or something?

Yeah, sure. Yeah.
Okay.

Should have warned me
about the water.

(DOOR OPENING)

What are you doing here?

I thought you were
seeing the doctor.

I figured since I
got all this time,

I might get this
out of the way.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Nice car, by the way.

You're such a snob.

Can you give me
a hand with this?

So, have you
spoken to Bryan yet?

ZACK: Nothing to say.

You could have shown him
a little more respect, Zack.

He doesn't want respect.
He wants control.

Be careful.

Don't let this girl
fall in love with you.

Not likely.

She knows what I am.

Which is what?

You're handsome,
talented and rich.

And you're a nice guy,
which only makes it worse.

Trust me.

She won't be able
to stop herself,

and she won't know
how to handle it.

I just want to
skate with her.

Then skate.

But don't let her
get attached.

I know what I'm
talking about, Zack.
Keep it business.

JACKIE: So here we are.

If you have any questions,

you might want to ask yourself
if that's more important
than getting to nationals.

And if you have to
go to the bathroom,
save it for after Miami.

(RAP MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay, now I want you
to keep your head up,

and I want you to
keep your leg straight.

Good job.
Try and get your
arabesque a little higher.

All right. I want you guys
to do backwards crossovers.

Please remember to
keep your head up
and, Alex,

track Zack. Okay? Now go.

One, two.
One, two, one, two.

Okay, okay. Good.
Try again. Sharper.

Alex,
when you hold your hands,
hold them up. Right there...

I think
crossovers are the same...

Hey, Zack, you want some?
My mom made it.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Love the circle...

Knees, knees, knees.

Breaking up your
timing in the lifts.

That was better,
that's better.

Nice edges.

More, guys, more.

Again.

Faster, faster.

One more time, come on.

Talk about
a hard-nosed vibora.

But we showed her, huh?

(ZACK SIGHS)

Hey, I do something
to piss you off?

Look, I know
we're working hard,

but you barely
looked at me all day.

No, we're cool.

We don't want you
sleeping on the couch, so...

Mama set up a bed
for you in the kitchen.

There's
a bathroom around back,
and if you need a...

Five, six, seven, eight.

* Didn't think I'd
turn around and say

* That it's too late
to apologize

* It's too late

* I said it's too late
to apologize

* It's too late

* I'd take another chance
Take a fall

* Take a shot for you

* I need you
like a heart
needs a beat

Hi.

* Yeah, yeah

* I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turning blue

* And you say
sorry like the angel

* Heaven let me think was you

* But I'm afraid

* It's too late to apologize

* It's too late

* I said it's too late
to apologize

* It's too late

* It's too late to apologize

* It's too late

* I said it's too late
to apologize

* It's too late

* I said it's too late
to apologize

* Yeah

* I said it's too late
to apologize

* Yeah

* I'm holding on your rope

* Got me ten feet
off the ground *

Lock your arms.
Okay.

Alex, chest up.

ALEX: Zack, you okay?

No.

Zack? Zack!

Oh, man.

Can we break?

Sure.

Okay, that was good.

I'm serious,
I just need a minute.

How about just take
the rest of your life?

Hey!

Listen, I promised
to skate for you,
which I will keep doing

until there is
nothing left.

And then... No.
And then, I will get up
and skate some more.

I will never quit,

and neither will you.

You're too kind.

Let's go.

Hey.

What'd you say to her?

Nothing, I...
No, no, don't give me that.

Alex is
the toughest kid I know.

And now she's upstairs,
crying her eyes out.

All right,
I'll go talk to her.

Okay?

No.

Not okay.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

And mind your own business.

Okay.

Look...

If you think
you've made a mistake,
just say so.

About what?

You know what.

That I don't fit.
That I'm not good enough.

That you're
wasting your time.

You don't look at me.

You don't talk to me.

What? I'm a disease?

Man.

No, no.

Are you kidding?

Does it look
like I'm kidding?

Alex, you're unbelievable.

Phenomenal.

And you're pretty,
and smart,

and more determined
than anyone I've ever known.

I just...
I didn't want to give you
the wrong idea, that I was...

You know,
trying to come on
or take advantage.

I'm just trying
to be careful, because
I don't want to hurt you.

Don't worry.

I don't break so easily.

(CROWD CHEERING)

ROB ON TV:
And we're live from Miami,

with the pairs
figure skating finals,

the premier event
of the season.

An evening that
promises to be
both dramatic and

decisive...

Decisive, as the top
three pairs move on

to the International
Figure Skating Conference

in Paris.

How'd you do that?

Hold on.
Here's the part about us.

In fact, anyone's
first look at Zack Conroy
and his new partner,

Alexandra Maria
Elena Delgado.

That's quite a mouthful.
And quite an eyeful,
or so we're told.

With a new coach
and rumors of a romance,

there is no doubt
the world will be watching.

But they'll have their work
cut out for them against
their rivals.

Okay, we don't need
to hear about them.

No, 'cause you're gonna
be seeing more of us
than you can stomach.

(MOCKINGLY) Oh,
and you must be Alexandra.

Is that Delgado
as in the Tijuana Delgados?

Cameras.

Well,
I see everyone's already
exchanged pleasantries.

Yeah. One big, happy,
dysfunctional family.

No hard feelings, Zack.

Now that we've both moved on,
I'll just have
to console myself

with these two
future world champs.

They're gonna
have to beat us
on the ice first.

Beat you?
I don't think
that's gonna be

too much of
a problem there, Zacko,

seeing how you're
so good at crippling
your own partners.

Hey, hey, hey.

We'll see you
on the ice, Zack.

Hey. I just wanted to
wish you both the best.

Skate well.

ANNOUNCER: First pair up,
Bright and Halyard
take the ice.

(CROWD CHEERING)

(FAST-PACED MUSIC PLAYING)

These two really
skate as one, don't they?

They certainly do.
And they've got
so much strength

and so much power on the ice,
they are just
a pleasure to watch.

(CROWD CHEERING)

ROB: Well,
we've said it before,
we say it again,

Bright and Halyard
look unbeatable.

ZACK: How are the collars?

Is there any level threes
in the footwork?

No, not yet.
But hold your spins.

You might be able to
pick up a bullet for revs.

Yes! Yeah!

And what a performance.
Very, very strong.

How's it feel?

I think I'm numb.

Well, just keep breathing.
You'll be great.

LORI: What I love
about this pair
is their consistency

every time they
step out on the ice.

ROB: Every single time,
including from the beginning,

the split triple-twist
was awesome.

They did a remarkable
job today. Good for them.

Congratulations.
You were fantastic.

LORI: Just a great
performance today
from Bright and Halyard.

And, of course, this is
all under their new coach,
Bryan Hemmings.

But I think this routine
is firmly going to put
them in first place.

Did we cover
grade of execution?

It's covered.
I'm ready.

ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen...
Go for gold.

Next on the ice,
Conroy and Delgado.

Now the time has come
to see if Zack Conroy

has found redemption
with his new partner,

or to see if
the unfortunate loss
of Celeste Mercier

will continue to haunt him.

Regardless,
an outstanding performance
from Bright and Halyard.

Hi, Mom.
Hi, Dad, at home.

We got it, guys.
We got it!

(CROWD CHEERING)

LORI: Take a look
at these scores.

The judges definitely agree.
Whatever.

Their scores are great,
and they definitely
have the crowd behind them.

You know
I trust you
completely.

You don't have
to convince me.

But for the hell of it,
let's show them.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

LORI: And we are holding
our breath here in Miami

as Alexandra Delgado
skates for the first time

as a figure skater
with Zack Conroy.

This has been
a difficult year for him.

Let's see what this
couple can offer us
here on the ice.

Center of your blades.

ROB:
What a unique partnership.

Experienced champion skater,
really, with a raw rookie.

We good?
Never better.

Yeah!

For the first time in
competition together,
this pair is confident.

And don't forget who
we're talking about here.

I mean, this is Alexandra,
an amateur hockey player,

who has to be
the absolute
longest of long shots.

I mean,
this is pretty amazing.

ROB:
They look so comfortable.

Fall. Fall.

Cameras.

* So far
And after all this time

* So far
You're my kind of guy

* So far
Everything is fine

* So far
I know that your mine

Watch each other.

* So far
Everything is fine *

Watch each other.

Oh, my God.

Completely unexpected.

Alexandra Delgado,

first time out on the ice
as a figure skater,
and she's been hit.

Don't move.

Coming off the broken leg
from Celeste Mercier,

and now this.
It's nothing.

We have to finish.

What's Zack Conroy
feeling right now?
He looks stunned.

It's nothing, honest.
Come on.

Let's take it
from the spin.
Are you sure?

Yes.

(CROWD CHEERING)

And just when you thought
you'd seen it all.

Talk about courage.

Come on.

Come on.

You okay? You're sure?
I'm okay. Yeah, I'm fine.

If you're
feeling bad, tell me.

Yeah, I'm okay.
Zack, I'm fine.

ROB: What an
extraordinary comeback
after a devastating fall.

LORI: You have to hand it
to this young new pair.

ROB: Unbelievable.
There goes
coach Jackie Dorsey,

she can't
believe it either.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Okay. Are you sure
you're all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good.
I'm okay. I'm fine.

That's amazing.

Well, go on, then.

Wave.

WOMAN: We love you!

(CROWD BOOING)

ROB: Well, the crowd
doesn't like the marks.

What? We didn't make it?

Well, we took fourth.

(ZACK CLEARING THROAT)

I'm sorry.

I let us down.
I got too close, and...

God, stupid,
'cause I was...

No. No, no, no.

You were perfect.
I lost it.

Top of the world, guys!
Top of the world!

FEMALE REPORTER:
Hey, is it true
you two are engaged?

MALE REPORTER: Celeste,
is it really over with Zack,

or are you going to
skate with him again
once the cast is off?

One question
at a time, please.
And, yes, we are engaged,

which I'm relieved to say
only took two years
of begging.

MALE REPORTER:
Are you going to skate
with Zack again?

BRYAN: We'll figure that out
when the time comes.

But enough about me.

You should be focusing
on the gold medal
champs over here.

Congratulations.
Thank you.

So, Jason. Jason...
Just one second.

Hey, Zacko! I was wondering...

My hair's getting
a little long.

Can I get a trim? No?

So, Paris! Tell me,
how are you
feeling about that?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Excuse me. Excuse me.

You're not
gonna believe this,

but third place
just popped positive.

Sid Rotunda's
been juicing.
So?

So that means that they
have been disqualified,
which means that you...

You're going to Paris?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Zack? Zack? Zack!

Zack, we're going to Paris.
What?

We're going to Paris!
What?

We're going to Paris.
Some Verducci kid
was juicing or something.

But we're going to Paris!

Oh, my God!

That's...
We're going!

That's amazing.
I know.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Need a cold one?

No.

Listen, I know
I've been giving you
a hard time about Alex,

but that's over, man.

You're solid.

And no one blames her
for what happened.

I mean, she's still learning.

Listen, Bobby,
that cut was my fault.

I lost my concentration.

That's an
unforgivable mistake.

I could've
really hurt her.

Yeah, but you didn't.

And you were there for her.

I saw how you
took care of her.

That's good stuff, man.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello? Hello?

Okay.

Thanks for meeting me.

How's it feel?

A little stiff.

This is heaven.

You really missed it?

Sometimes I wish
I never had to skate again.

You think that until
something happens, and then...

All you can think about
is getting back on this ice.

I'm sorry you had to find out
about Bryan and me
the way you did.

I wanted to tell you
before your program,

it's just there was so much
going on, and I didn't know...

No, you know...

You never have to
explain yourself to me.

Just tell me
you're sure about this.

It bothers you?

Well, it's not like
I don't know the guy.

Zack, you had to know
it was gonna happen with
someone sooner or later.

Well, maybe. But, you know,
it's not something I
wanted to think about.

But you didn't love me.
Not really love me.

How do you know that?

Zack,
I have been your partner,

your lover and
your friend, but...

I've never been the one.

Celeste, come on,
that's not...
No, let's not kid ourselves.

Either you never loved me
or you couldn't show it.

But whatever the case,
it doesn't matter anymore.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

JACKIE: Hey, come in.

Anton Pamchenko
was my mom's coach.

He discovered my father,
turned him into
a figure skater,

and he paired
him up with my mom.

These are drawings of a move
that he invented

that won my parents
the gold medal.

It was only
done this one time.

ZACK: Which is a good thing,

because the Pamchenko
is insanely dangerous.

If one partner's so much
as half a beat off,
we'll both eat it.

And we're not just
talking career-ending,

we're talking
possibly life-threatening.

I understand
that you have to be

desperate or insane
to try this, Zack.

Okay, so then,
why are you
showing us this?

You guys nearly pulled off
a miracle in Miami,
but you crashed.

Alex, to win in Paris,
you have to be flawless.

And given your time together,
I'm sorry, but it's
virtually impossible.

Or you two could do a move
that no one else can do.

And you could steal the gold.

It's too risky.

Here, give me a minute.

Zack.

Come on, Zack.
Talk to me.

You know this is insane.

I know.

But I also know that
that's why you came to me
in the first place.

I dare you to
tell me otherwise.

Come on, Zack.

You managed to make
an amazing skater
out of Alex.

And you're going to Paris.

Why are you so worried
about it being too dangerous?

Oh, so you fell for her.

At least have the guts
to finish what you started.

Okay.

You... Put this on.

I don't wanna
explain to your mom
how I brought you home

with your head
facing backwards.

(FAST-PACED RAP SONG PLAYING)

More speed, guys.
More speed. Come on.

Faster, faster, faster.

Again!

Higher.
Higher on the bounce.

You have got to get
her up there, Zack!

(GROANS)

Okay, get up
and do it again.

Again.

Again.

Zack?

(GROANS)

(BELL RINGS)

ALEX: Okay if I join you?

(SIGHS)

You know,
it's none of my business,

but there's just so much
I don't know about you.

It's like we're
from different planets.

Yeah.

I'm from the one
with coaches and agents.

You're from
the one with people.

You know, there's
really a whole lot less
to me than you think.

Uh-huh.

You know, you're never
gonna convince me

that your whole
skater-playboy life
is all bad.

And, yeah,
you lost a lot as a kid,
and that sucks, but...

We all get a little lonely,
no matter how much
company we have.

It's all part
of the life deal.

Look, you don't
have to answer, okay?

But what about Celeste?

When she's skating again?

Right now,
you and I are partners.

That's all that matters.

Come here.

You know,
when we first started out,

I was afraid
you were gonna
mess with me.

And now
I'm afraid you won't.

(BELL RINGING)

Uh-oh!

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Oops!

Okay. Awkward moment.

You want a taco?

Yeah.
Yeah? Okay.

(FRENCH SONG PLAYING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

We are live in Paris
for the International

Figure Skating
Conference Championship.

ROB: Bright and Halyard.
What a performance.
Very, very strong.

LORI: Misha back together
with her partner, Rudy.

They're reunited,
and this looks like
a Russian revival.

ROB: It looks like
Alexandra Delgado
and Zack Conroy

have picked up
where they left off.

No indication that
the accident in Miami

has slowed
either of them down.

LORI: I couldn't
agree with you more.

They are skating
a beautiful short program.

You have to admit,
this is one impressive pair.

Yeah!

How does that feel?

It didn't suck.

WOMAN: America's Sweethearts,
everybody.

America's Sweethearts.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Zacko! Zack, Alex,
I just wanted to
say congratulations.

Your skate out there today
was really inspiring.

Thanks, Jason.

You're welcome.

We just feel so horrible
about what happened.

What are you talking about?

You haven't
seen the pictures?

That's priceless.
He doesn't know.

He hasn't seen them.

You see, Zack...

This is you, and that...
That's not Alex.

Zack, what's going on?

Hold on there, Casanova.
There's more.

Here's one where
you're hugging her.

Another here where
her engagement ring
is nicely featured.

I'm sure Bryan would
be really interested
to see these photos, Zack.

Oh, and this one's
my personal favorite.

This is precious.

You're kissing
her here, Zack.

You son of a bitch!

ALEX: Zack! Zack!

Come on, let's go.

REPORTER: Now that
you're back with Celeste,
how will that impact your...

ZACK: Alex, hold on!
Alex! Alex, wait!

And what about
the romance between...

Shut the camera off.
Shut the camera off!

Just answer the question.
ZACK: Alex! Alex!

What about the romance
between you...

Get out of my face!

Alex.

Zack.

I really shouldn't
be telling you this,

but you look so pathetic
sitting here all night.

I know something
maybe you should know.

(DOOR SLAMMING)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Yeah.

Hey, Jackie.

So,
do you want the good news,
the bad news or the worst?

Between all the shoving
and confusion yesterday,

no one seems
sure who started it,
so that's the good.

How is she?
I'm getting to that.

Now, if Jason Bright
swears a formal complaint,

they'll have to
disqualify you.

That's the bad.

No one's getting
disqualified, Jackie.

Jason will
never make it stick.

Will she at least
talk to me?

That's the worst.
Alex is leaving.

Okay. Go to the arena,
make sure that we are
still on the program.

If anyone asks you,
we'll be there.

BOBBY: Don't even try, man.
I warned you.

You know what?
You're right. I'm a jerk.

I'm not trustworthy.
You never should've
let me near her.

All those are true if
you take those photos
at face value.

(SCOFFS)

You're an
intelligent man, Bobby.

You know that pictures
and people are not
always what they seem.

Oh, yeah? What about
the bimbo in this room, huh?

She saw that?
Yeah.

That's just great.

I'm going to meet someone.

Give Alex this note,
make sure she
reads it, please!

I'll be waiting
at the rink.

Hey.

Thanks for meeting me.

It wasn't easy
after yesterday.

It was so hard
getting away
from the press.

There's something
you should hear.

It's not gonna be pleasant.

Okay.

There you go.

It's okay.
You can tell her.

Zack wants me to tell you
about those photographs.

How I know that
they come from Bryan.

He was having you followed.

And...
And how do you know this?

He told me.

In bed.

I want you to know
it didn't mean anything.

You know, Bryan and me,
we're old friends.

You know how
that is sometimes.

No, I don't.

I tried.
Yeah. Thank you.

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry,

but I thought
you should know.

You gonna be okay?

You forget who
you're talking to.

I've been practicing
landing on my feet
all my life.

So what are you gonna do?

Honestly,
I just want Alex to skate.

Not for me, for her.
She deserves it.

Well, I should go.
Bryan is expecting me.

You know, Zack,
you should tell Alex.

Just like you told me.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Taxi!
Yeah? Good. Okay.

(CROWD CHEERING)

ROB: Well,
we've said it before,
we say it again,

Bright and Halyard
look unbeatable.

BOBBY: Thank you.

* You said you'd
rather be alone

(BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH)

* My whole world
turned to stone

* But in another world

* If you come
crashing back to me

* Then we will know such love

* That was never meant to be

Bobby, what is this?

Just talk to him.

No! Take me
to the airport!

Alexandra, you're
a very determined person,

and that will
help you accomplish
a lot of things.

But to throw away
the greatest opportunity
of your life

because you're stubborn?
That...

That accomplishes nothing.

(SIGHS)

* You said you'd
rather be alone *

I read your stupid note,
and I listened to
all your messages

about the pictures
and the girl in the hallway.

Are you satisfied?

Not really,
but it's a start.

When you asked me
about Celeste,
I wasn't sure.

Not about my future with her,
but about you.

Don't start that with me.

When I saw you walk
out of my life yesterday,

that hurt worse than
anything I've ever felt.

I don't understand, Zack.
What do you want?

I want you, Alex,
in my life.

Hey, you guys are
both athletes, right?

Which means you can walk
and talk at the same time.
Come on, let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

Zack Conroy.

Alexandra Delgado.

Come on. Hurry.

I got it, I got it.
ALEX: Hurry, hurry. Let's go.

Come on!

(CROWD CHEERING)

And the competition
is really heating up here

at the International
Figure Skating Conference
Championships in Paris.

And, of course,
everyone waiting to see

Zack Conroy
and Alexandra Delgado.

They're currently
sitting in second place
after the short program.

(BRYAN LAUGHING)

We did it.
We did it. Yes!

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

You have two minutes
for your skaters
to take the ice.

Thank you.

Yeah! We did it!

Oh, look at this.
Big marks for
Bright and Halyard.

Yes! Come on.

Sweetheart,
you're late, baby.

We nailed it.

I think Celeste Mercier
just announced
her disengagement.

Alexandra Delgado
and Zack Conroy...
Jackie.

...are really
going to have to skate
a perfect program,

a flawless program,
if there is going to be...

They're coming,
they're coming!

They're just
putting on their skates.
They'll be right here.

They have less
than two minutes.
Yeah.

Alex, wait.

We're late!

I don't care about that.

First, I wanna be sure
that you heard
what I said outside.

You know that's not fair.
It's too much.

Okay.

Let me try to
make this simple.

I love you, Alex.

I love you.

And I'm still waiting on you
to answer the first question
I ever asked you.

Will you skate with me?

(MAN SPEAKING IN FRENCH)

He said, "Take the ice."

We're gonna do it.

(ANNOUNCER
SPEAKING FRENCH ON PA)

Do what?

You know. The move.

The Pamchenko?

(CHUCKLES)

No.
Yes.

Well, it looks like
they made it.

Alexandra Delgado
and Zack Conroy

are taking to
the ice right now.

How hard will this be?
They did not warm up.

No one has seen this team.

They begin the night
in second place
after the short program,

and they have their
work cut out for them.

No. You could get hurt.

I didn't come
all this way
to punk out.

Remember how I said
I didn't break so easily?

I wasn't kidding.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

What does that mean?

I'll translate later.

* She's like the wind
through my tree

* She's rides the night
next to me

* She leads me
through moonlight

* Only to burn me with the sun

* She's taken my heart

* But she doesn't know
What she's done

* Feel her breath on my face

* Her body close to me

* Can't look in her eyes

* She's out of my league

* Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs

They have been
flawless so far.

This is where they
need the extra marks.

And there are rumors
of another new move.

* I look in the mirror
and all I see

You ready?

Like I've been rehearsing
this moment my entire life.

* With only a dream

ROB: And they've done it!
And it's the Pamchenko,
of all moves.

And we've only ever
seen it once before,

that bounce spin
to a throw twist.

ROB: And that will do it.
That will win them
the gold medal.

They did it! They did it!
LORI:
What an incredible finish

to tonight's competition.

The answer is yes,
I'll skate with you, always.
