It's 1:00.

It's 1:00
in the afternoon!

I've got a game!

What the hell
happened to the alarm?

I'm supposed to be
on the ice!

You say nein.

Yeah, nine. 9:00.
What happened?

Yeah, nein.

Badge. Shirt.

You say nein alarm.
Is mistake?

No, no mistake.

This is great.
Late for the Olympics.

I'm just about four
hours late here, Rita.

Rita?

I don't believe this.

Rita?

Lita?

Lita?

Anita?

Gita!

This is
the Olympics, Kate.

Thirty million people
just called their families
in from the kitchen

to watch the replay.

What do you think
this is, Kate?
Junior pairs, '82?

No. As I recall,
in '82, you were still
humiliating me in private.

Maybe that's because
you were still listening.

Well, if I'm going deaf,
it's because I've had
you screaming in my ear

for the last nine years!

He's not giving me
anything to work with!

Rick, this is
impossible!

I want to see
your ass in the air!

Until Hercules here learns
how to lock his grip,

this will have to do.

Name, son?

Dorsey, US hockey!

Hell, son,
they're just
about to start!

Kate, this has to stop.
Right now!

Rick knows what's best,
honey. He's the one
that got us here.

How sweet.
He lets us tag along.

You're gonna go
back out there,

you're going to apologize,
and you're gonna get to work.

I wouldn't bet
the ranch, Dad.

Where do you think
you're going?

I'll be in my cell!

What are you...

Does this go up
to the ice?

- What?
- Does this
go up to the ice?

Is that all you have to say?
What were you
raised in, a barn?

Honey,
where I'm from, we stand
for the national anthem.

you're in for a big surprise!

West Germany was
supposed to be
an easy game,

an easy mark,
for the United States,

but here we are
in the third period,

and West Germany
is up by a goal.

Doug Dorsey just about
down to the last dime

of a two-minute penalty
for high-sticking.

He can't wait
- to get out of the box.
- Come on!

- Neither can the fans.
- Come on!

Five, four,
three, two, one!

Dorsey,
running out of the box.

They'll hit him
with the breakaway.
It's offside.

Doug Dorsey, of course,
the phenom from
Mahorn, Minnesota.

from Minnesota State.

You talk about being
on the fast track,

there are at least
12 NHL clubs

that would love to have
him on their roster
before the season's over.

Just an incredible
young athlete.

If you haven't
seen him before,

you're in for a real treat
this afternoon.

We're talking about
one of the finest skaters
in amateur hockey today.

There was a piece this week,
one of the writers

called him
"The Minnesota Machine."

USA! USA! USA! USA!

Yeah!

For the record,

you've lost 18 degrees
of peripheral vision
in your right eye.

Now, in most cases,
this would be considered
an inconvenience.

But for a hockey player...

So how long before
it comes back?

You've had extreme trauma
to your occipital lobe.

Doc, how long?

You got a blind side, Doug.

It's a permanent condition.

Well, so there's
an operation, right?

I'm afraid not.

Some micro-laser thing,
open me up, and...

Doug, I've specialized
in ophthalmic surgery
for over 15 years.

Yeah, okay, well,
you don't do it here.
But somebody somewhere, uh...

Down in Mexico City
they shoot shark piss
up your nose

and make you sit
in traction
for eight months...

Doug,

I'm sorry.

I don't see
professional hockey
in your future.

Steve's playing
with half the deck.

See you at the game
tonight, brother.

Not if I see you first.

- See you, Mike.
- Mike.

Anybody seen my wife?

See you guys later.

You're listening to WICB,
Duluth, Minnesota.

We're gonna warm you...

Hi, Doug.

I'm in a hurry.
- Any mail?
- No.

I got a game.
Make me a sandwich,
will you?

Hey, little brother, Snyder
can't make it in tonight.
I need a hand.

I got a game.

- Hi, Dougie!
- It's Friday night!

- Make me a sandwich.
- I need a hand!

I need a sandwich!

Dougie, wait a minute!

Doug, I got
no place else to go!

You're my brother,
not my boss, okay?

Douglas, I'm not asking you.
I'm telling you.

Will you get off my back?

I'm no bartender.
Get used to it.

What the hell's
that supposed to mean?

What makes you
so special?

You're playing
in a goddamn bar league!

Hey, Walt,
at least I'm playing.

Hey! Your 23rd letter
arrived today.

Detroit Red Wings.

It's over, little brother.
Everybody knows it but you.

Give me that letter.

"Dear Doug,
sorry about the eye.
Go piss up a rope.

"Next time you're in town,
give us a call!"Give me that letter!

"We'll buy you a ticket!"Give me that goddamn letter!

What are you going to do?
You gonna fight me?

Are you gonna fight the world?
Are you gonna fight everybody?

Well, put me
on the list, pal.
Come on, let's go!

You want something to eat,
make it yourself.

All right, Kate, enough.

Lovely.
Let's do it again.

Do we or do we not
have eight minutes left?

Enough for today.

Perhaps you are wanting
to take shower, da?

Right.

What he needs is
a ride to the airport.

I've got laundry
that can skate
better than that.

He lasted a month.

You should have been
making her single skater.

So, where do we
go from here?

Two years, eight partners.

This one too small,
that one too big,
too loud,

too much sweat,
not enough sweat...

Jack, she is
tremendous skater.

Everyone is saying this.

Petite, powerful, intelligent.

But always is coming
the big B.

What a bitch.

What about Spindler?

Spindler?

Spindler says before
he skate with her

he wear garlic from neck
and sleep with cross.

Who is left?

I am at bottom of barrel.

Then you find
another barrel.

You are bigger
than I think.

What?

I say, you are much
bigger than I think.

I'm spending much time
watching video of you,
Mr. Douglas Dorsey.

You are very
exciting skater.

Hey, look, pal,
if you're a reporter,
you're a little late.

The story's been done.

No, I am coach.

Yeah, what's the deal?
You goof on me? My brother
buys you a beer?

What means goof?

Are you the Swede?

No, I'm Russian.

My name is
Anton Pamchenko.

From the Leafs!
I can't believe it!
You got my letter!

You couldn't have
come at a better time!

I'm in the best
shape of my life!
I'm like a rock!

I'm skating five,
six hours a night.

Speed drills, stick drills,
road work...

I am not hockey coach.

What is this?

Maybe nothing.

Here.

You try.

Those are
figure skates, pal.

Whoa. I should have
held out for more.

This way.

You got your own rink.

We have ice every day.

That's not Spindler.
Where the hell is Spindler?

I thought you said
he'd be here.

No, you said Spindler.
This is Dorsey.

Mr. Douglas Dorsey.

Dorsey?
Never heard of him.

Douglas is
beautiful skater.

Oh, you're
that hockey player.

How you doing?

Nice to meet you.

Is try out.
Is try out.

Oh, my God!

What? My hand?

What do you do?
Soak them in battery acid?

Oh, I know they're
a little rough,
but, you know,

I've never had
any complaints before.

Oh, I'm terribly impressed.

What is this?
Final stages of Ukrainian
alcohol psychosis?

Hey, wait a second.
Who's checking
out who here?

Listen, I don't know how
many slap shots you've
taken to the brain,

but was your audition.

And let me assure you,
it's over.

Hey, Snow White, relax.
I'm no figure skater.
I'm a hockey player.

Then what are you doing here?

Get him out of my building.

What?

Get him out of my building!

Temperamental?
You know, I can think
of another word for it.

Is that what you told him?

What, like,
it's a big secret?

Who the hell
do you think you are?

I know exactly who I am, sweetheart.

I'm a guy who came
a long way for lunch.

Well, please don't let me
keep you from the trough.

Hey, I'm sorry, buddy.
I wouldn't wish this
on a snake.

I'm out of here.

Enough!

Introduction is over.
Conversation finished.

Mouths closed,
ears to be opened.

Pairs means two.
You have no partner.

You are skating nowhere.

And where are you going?

Back to Siberia?

Skating on small pond
is big excitement,

and believe me, Gretzky,

I am last person who is
coming to look for you.

Good.

We skate.

You are taking her left
hand, and your right
hand is at her waist.

Good. The line is beautiful.

Now, I am counting a beat.

You push off on four.
Katya will lead.

Hey, hold on.
What's the deal with
these claws up front here?

Is toe pick.

Toe pick?
Let me guess,

it has something to do
with personal hygiene.

I wouldn't let that
get in your way.

I don't let anything
get in my way.

Count it off.

Ras and dva
and rasand tri

and one and four.

Good.

Good. Head up.

Yes. Arms up.

Katya, Katya,
keep in line with him.

Is not a race, Katya.
Together. Together.

What do you do?
Shower once a week?

Is that an invitation?

Douglas, bend
knees more, eh?

Good! Good!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Oh, shit.

Toe pick.

Katya, lift arms, please.

Go on, lift arms.

Douglas, please
to pick her up.

Yeah?

Yes. Pick up.

Okay, enough.

We are finish.

I told you
this was ridiculous.

Would you please
put me down?

You... You cretin!

Guess that move
needs some work.

What a waste
of good ice.

Ridiculous!

Stare at it long enough,
you'll start to see an Olympic
gold medal in there.

Jack Moseley. Sit down.
Sit down, please.

Look, I've spoken
with Anton.

First of all, I want you
to know the simple fact
that he brought you out,

you should feel proud.

I mean, we're talking about
probably the greatest judge
of skating talent

in the world.

Central Soviet Army
Sports Club,
Moscow Ice Ballet, the works.

I saw you skate in Calgary.

You were a great,
great hockey player.

So, I don't want you to feel
as though this were
a complete waste of your time.

I mean, it was worth a shot.

What, the eye?

No, the eye is
not a problem.

Is it your daughter?

Kate is Kate.

She's an only child.
She was raised
without a mother.

The strain of competition...

Sudden changes tend
to bring out her color.

Oh, is that what that was?

Frankly, the idea is just
a little too bizarre for me.

I believe you're on
a 10:30 flight, first class.

There's a check
in there for your trouble.

This is what you call
giving me a shot?

Look, I don't have
time to screw around.

I can't afford to be
wrong about you.

We were 45 seconds away
from the gold medal.

We were knocking on the door,
and our boy dropped the ball.

That goddamn glass box
is empty for one reason.

We can't find a go-to guy.

Thirty-five male skaters.

These boys have been
doing this for years,
and they couldn't cut it.

Wagner, no stamina.

Myerson, no rhythm.

Leon, Parnes, Hudler...

Not one single
pressure player
in the bunch.

Lucky shot.

Double or nothing.

You're on.

Katie, there you are.

Hi. I was just
coming to say goodbye.

Well, hold that thought,
honey. Doug is gonna be
staying with us for a while.

It's good talking
- to you, Jack.
- Doug.

Catch your act tomorrow.

It's the end
of the line, honey.

If we're gonna
work together, you might
try and be polite.

You're not gonna be
here long enough to make it
worth the effort.

What, you don't think
I can put up with your shit?

I don't think
you can skate.

There's only two things
I do really well, sweetheart,

and skating's
the other one.

God, you really are
a Neanderthal.

I hate to tell you,
but I'm from Minnesota.

That's south of Neanderthal.

So, what do you do for fun?
Polish your knife collection?

I'm sure there's nothing
I do that you'd find exciting.

I don't open beer bottles
with my toes.

I don't sit around and count
what's left of my teeth.

Hey, I don't even enjoy
a good tractor pull.

It's been a limited existence,
but I've gotten used to it.

Life of the party, huh?
The place must be
crawling with guys.

As a matter of fact,
I do have a boyfriend.

Well, there's a rough gig.
What do you do? Keep him
chained up in the basement?

Hale, at the moment,
is working in my father's
London office.

He's an MBA. Harvard.

You might have heard of it.
They do have a hockey team.

He must be
a very smart guy.

First positions, please.

Bet you look pretty
good from a few
thousand miles away.

Okay, Douglas.

Come. Shoulders back.

Good, good.
Now, chest out.

Yes. Shoulders back.
Head higher.

When we're through here,
can we please teach it

how to breathe
with its mouth closed?

Don't quit your day job.

Man and woman
together make love.

Douglas, you are stem.
Katya, you are petal.

Together, we make love.

If you're so bored,
why don't you read?

What, you mean a book?

That is a traditionally
accepted format, yes.

Is this the beginning
of a conversation here?

I was just simply asking
if you knew how to read.

Yes. Doug can read.

What was the last book
you read?

You were in college.

The last thing I read
in college was the letter
canceling my scholarship

when I couldn't
play anymore.

Okay, high school.

I was a hockey player.
The only thing I had to read
was the scoreboard.

And they graduated you?

They revered me.
I was a god.

What a tragic commentary
on our times.

State championships,
my last game,

300 people carried me around
on their shoulders on the ice.

It took the state police
two hours to break it up.

So, what were you planning
on doing when your
gladiating days were over?

You can bet your tights
I never thought I'd be working
in a freak show like this.

I'm surprised you don't
chuck it all and start
your own think tank.

So, where did you
matriculate from?

You were in college?

I had tutors.

Excellent tutors.

Would you please
find someplace else
to put your clubs?

Man, would I love
to see you play hockey.

Any day.

You can do
better than that.

I don't even know
why I'm explaining
this to you anyway.

I mean, all I did was
play his stupid game.

Next thing you know,
you'll be telling me
how guilty I sound.

Is not guilt.

Well, at least
we agree on that.

Is fear.

You've gotta be kidding me.

I mean, what do I
have to be afraid of?

Because finally you have
found yourself a partner.

Oh, my God!

it was just his nose.

Great pictures in here.

This is your mom, right?
Boy, she was a knockout.

Yes, she was very pretty.
She was a show skater.

Well, you know
there's one over here.

You look like you're not

You got skates on.

And what is this expression

It's me, Kate.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Um, I spoke to Anton.
He said that you were
leaving for the weekend.

What, that's a problem?

Oh, no, no.
I think it's great.

You haven't been home
since you got here.

I mean, my God,
they probably think we've
got you under lock and key.

Come on in.

I haven't been up here
in a while. Not since Brian.

Brian had mirrors
up all over.

Oh, yeah,
I took them down.

It's kind of a mess.
I wasn't expecting
any company.

What's this?

It's me smelling the ice.

I told this guy once
how much I love
the smell of the ice.

It became this thing.
Somebody got a camera...

I never thought
- about it.
- I'm not surprised.

What's that
supposed to mean?

Kate!

I'll be right there!

What did you mean
by that?

I just think you'd
skate even better

if you let yourself
enjoy it a little.

Wait, what's this?

I come up to say
have a nice weekend,

and you're gonna
give me pointers?

Well, you're the one
who brought it up.

- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.

No...

I came to give you this.

What's that?

It's our greatest hits.

It's a video
for your family.

Of us skating.

Thanks.

My dad said that he booked
some extra rooms in Chicago,

and we'd love them
to stay with us.

My family?

Yes, to the Nationals.

They're coming,
aren't they?

I don't know.

Well, look at all
you've done. I mean,
they must be really excited.

Honey,
it's a 7:30 show!

You better go.

Why wouldn't they come?

They'll come.
They're coming.
Hale's waiting.

Well, how do you know
they're going to come
if you haven't told them?

- I'm gonna tell them.
- When?

Now. This weekend.

- You sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.

Really?

What?

What?

I didn't join
the Merchant Marine.

You still got
your sea legs?

Shush! Well, if you weren't
with the Merchant Marine,

where the hell were you?

Let's go outside
and talk about this, okay?

- What's he saying?
- We're all family here.

Tell us about it.
Tell us about it.

Walt.

Come on. Tell me now.

Well, actually,

it's kind of interesting.

Tell him.

We're waiting.

I...

I been doing a little...

I been doing
a little figure skating.

- Damn.
- What'd he say?

You been doing what?

Finger painting?

These people,
they think we can go all
the way, Walter.

All the way to where?

To the Nationals.

Walter, the champ...

You just don't understand.

Was it me?
Was it something I did?

I'm telling you,
I'm good.

Come on, Doug,
you're a hockey player.
How good can you be?

Look, face it.

If you're lucky, a year
from now, you're gonna
be in a snoopy costume

in the frigging
Ice Capades.

You know me
better than that.

Do you think
I'd spend 15 hours a day

every day
of the week to win
some consolation prize?

I'm talking about
an Olympic gold medal!

It's the girl.
You're mixed up
with this broad.

That's it, isn't it?

It's a great opportunity!

It's figure skating!

And I like it!

It's a lot goddamn harder
than playing hockey,
I can tell you that.

And the stuff we're doing,
it's gonna be
different, Walter.

The costumes, the music,
everything, it's gonna
be different.

You'll see.

Are they gonna make
you shave your legs?

Oh, screw this, I don't
even know why...

Gotcha!

Good.
This is looking good.

Now. Oh, I like it.

It's not too low,
is it?

Well, we don't want him
to hide his light
under a basket, do we?

Now, where to put this?
Here and here.

I know.

Let's put it here.

What do you think
you're doing?

Just getting started.

This is Mozart.

It's not us.

The deal was
that we had to listen.

Kate, this is tired!

10,000 other skaters
are gonna be cuing up
the same boring crap!

This doesn't get it done.

It's like the costumes.
Let's be different.

Let's kick a little ass.

If you want to see
some asses kicked,

why don't you throw on
some jeans and skate to this?

If you want to win,
you play it straight.

This is boring!

Unacceptable!

Would you stop?

Didn't work
for you last time!

What?

You heard me!

You have some nerve!

Will you just
listen to my music
for one second?

Stop fighting it!

Guys!

Hey!

It's after midnight!

I have a 6:30 appointment!

We were just wrapping up.

Play him the Mozart.

You'll be asleep
in no time.

Katya,
please try to understand.

Douglas is not boy,
he is man!

He is young,
vigorous man!

I don't care
what you call him.

He has three months
to qualify for the Nationals,

and he needs every minute.

Sure, sure, this I know.
And he is back on Monday.

And he will be
working much better.

Really?

Katya, please, you know.

Solitude is...
Too much is not good, eh?

It's Christmas,
and we skate.

I have the flu,
and we skate.

I have a boyfriend in London
that I never see.

I skate every day for you

so you can play
Dr. Frankenstein
with this guy.

I show up every morning
for seven months,

so that you can
give him two days

to go off whoring
in New York City?

Is not entirely correct.

He went to Boston.

If I get her any higher
on that throw double sal,

they're gonna need
a putty knife to scrape
her off the ceiling.

- Am I right?
- What is putty knife?

Are we ready
for Nationals,
or what?

To you, Doug.

Okay, who's ready
to order?

I think I'm
gonna start with
some vichyssoise.

We got five weeks to go.
Everything's starting
to click.

We're gonna kick some
tail at those Nationals.

Am I right, Jack?

You better be
right, kid.

Hey, I'm eligible!

Doug Dorsey,
license to thrill.

Slow down, champ,
we've got a long way
to go, you know.

What you trying to do?
Rain on my parade?

Don't let her
beat you down, Doug.

If it hasn't happened by now,
I think he's in the clear.

What are you doing?
You're standing there
doing nothing.

Hale, now is
not the time. Hale...

You got any specials,
or what?

Everyone's in
such a great mood,

I think I'll throw
another log on the fire.

Hale, please.
Now is not the time.

They're gonna find out
- sooner or later.
- Hale!

The fact is,
I've asked Kate to marry me,

and she's accepted.

Fantastic!

Oh, Hale,
- congratulations.
- Thank you.

Congratulations.

That's great.

Katya,
I want my kiss.

I wondered
how long I'd have to wait.

Show them
the ring, Kate. Come on.

Great. This is great.

Now, there's
a piece of ice!

Hale, I think I'm paying
you altogether too much!

What are
you doing? You're standing
there doing nothing!

Yeah.

Still dropping
that shoulder.

I thought you'd retired.

I changed my mind.

You know what I think

is the saddest thing
about sports?

People who stay
too long at the party.

What are you
doing here, Rick?

I'm saying I'd like
to see you go out a champion.

That's my plan.

If you wanted
to skate so badly,

why didn't you come to me?

I know we've made
some mistakes...

Mistakes?

You spent
the last 10 years
tying me into knots.

You were always difficult.

You know what
the first thing
you said to me was?

I was nine years old,
and you came
into my building,

and I was skating.
And when I was finished,

I turned around
and, oh, my God,

there was Rick Tuttle.

And you know
what you said?

You said,
"Boy, do we have our work
cut out for us."

Still blaming
Calgary on Brian?

You meant a lot
to this sport, Kate.
You still do.

But Nationals?

I mean, now,
after all this time?

I just hate
to see you humiliated.

Humiliated?

Oh, come on, this guy...

A hockey player?

Let's face it,

trusting partners was
never your strong suit.

This guy,
this hockey player,

is the best skater
I've been on the ice with!

He's gonna make you cry,
he's so good.

You know your way out.

I swear, you let me down,
and it'll take them a month

to count the blade
marks up your back.

Do me a favor, will you?
Take off the rock
while we work.

It's cutting
the hell out of my hand.

welcomes you to the National
Skating Championships
here in Chicago.

Congratulations and best of luck.

Douglas, rear leg
must be high!

Katya, head low!

Yes, your body
must be tight!

It's like
rush hour out here.

Spindler and Nyman,
they cry on command.

Ah, the Weiderman twins.

Don't get too close,
you'll go into sugar shock.

Hey, isn't that...

Brian Newman.

My old partner.

Ah, the ex-husband.
Who's the new wife?

Peckarovski.

Lorie Peckarovski.

Tell me how
you really feel.

Well, Kate.

Surprise, surprise.

Hello, Brian.

No wonder you've been
keeping him to yourself.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Don't worry,
you'll get used to it.

Yeah, right.

Going down?

You talked me into it.

Hello.

Hey! How you doing?

I'm well.

See you around.

Okay.
You just get in?

Yes.

I thought you were
supposed to be napping.

Oh, I couldn't sleep.
I wasn't tired.

God, he has
the self-control
of a rabbit!

Kate, what are
you looking for?

Nothing. My earring.

I've spent four years
working my way back
to Nationals,

and what happens?

I'm skating to weird music
with a partner

who can't even follow
the simplest of instructions!

Maybe he's got
a problem sleeping.

The only problem
that he has is finding
his zipper fast enough.

I thought they
looked good together.

You think that this is funny?
We have to skate tonight.

Now is the time to rest.

Like you, huh?

That's it.

That is it.

Call the front desk
and get a room of your own!

I knew this wouldn't work out.
I can't even concentrate.

I can't even find
my lucky earring!

Hello.

This hasn't got anything
to do with skating, does it?

What does that mean?

You're falling for him.

What?

Doug.

Yes.

You are.
You're falling for him.

Oh, that's crazy.

- You think so?
- You're nuts!

Am I?

Well, you see how
we act together.

Yes, I do.

We would never get along.
I mean, we're always fighting.

Foreplay.

Okay, we're all in.

You are not
waiting for Hale?

He's not coming.
He had to go up to Boston.

Business problems.

Is okay with you?

If you want to worry
about something,

why don't you worry about
Ramjet the Rookie here?

Who?

Let's go.

at night number four
of the US National Championships.

The country's 12 best couples
are in the arena tonight.

Only two
of these couples will go
on to the Olympics

in Albertville, France,
six weeks from now.

of the compulsory moves
before tomorrow night's
long program.

You look nervous.

You look really nervous.

How nervous are you?

How nervous are you?

I feel better.

What is wrong with you?

I always get tight
before a game.

Put it this way,
when I played hockey,

I used to have two helmets.

One for the game,
and one for just before.

This is just
coming up now?

Bad choice of words.

Beautiful skating!
Very beautiful!

I don't believe this.

"I'm fine, no problem.

"Don't sweat it"?

Look at me.

Ms. Moseley
and Mr. Dorsey? You're on.

Look at my eyes.
Look at my eyes.

That's good. Okay.

Now smile.

Concentrate
on my forehead.

Okay, now look
at me and smile.

There you go,
yeah. Bigger.

Okay, now breathe.

Breathe!

Just don't breathe
on me, okay?

Look, it goes away.

The worst it ever was, I went
out and scored six goals
in the first two periods.

Ms. Moseley,
Mr. Dorsey, please?

So, what you're saying is
that once we get out there,
everything will be fine?

It usually only took me
about 10 minutes to relax.

Our program is
two and a half minutes!

So eight minutes
after we're done,
I'll be fine.

and ex-hockey star Doug Dorsey
at their first Nationals.

And what a place to make
your competitive debut!

And they
nailed them. They nailed
them just beautifully!

What a night
for US pairs skating.
It's extraordinary!

Brian Newman
and Lorie Peckarovski
into first place.

Johnny and Jodie Weiderman
skate safely into
the number two spot,

and out of nowhere,
Kate Moseley and Doug Dorsey
grab the number three.

Two couples
are all the United States

are allowed to send
to the Olympic Games.

Tomorrow night's long program
should be very exciting!

Man, this overnight thing
is brutal!

Why can't it be
a double-header,
you know?

Short program,
long program.

Same night, boom!
We're out of here.
You know what I mean?

Yeah, I know exactly
what you mean.

It's, like, enough already!

It's like...
What's the word?

You know what
word I'm looking for?
You know what I mean?

I don't know,
uh, expectations?

No, no, when you... Anticipation?

- Excitement?
- Foreplay!

Foreplay?

Yeah, you know,
like foreplay.

Yeah, I know
what it means.

Well, wouldn't
you rather just
get right to it?

What?

Skating. Long program.

Chicago. Nationals.

Flowers?

Sleep. I'd rather sleep.

Sleep?

beautiful skating!

This assures them a place
on the Olympic team.

The remaining
spot will go to one
of the two teams

left to skate, Moseley-Dorsey,
or the Weidermans.

what a performance!

Look at that sit spin!

This crowd knows it's seeing
history in the making.

We're in for
a major upset tonight.

Oh, yes, that was
great skating!

Clean,
powerful, and the crowd
just loved it.

Are those for me?
Thanks.

Hey, we were great!

5.4, 5.4...

It's hard to explain
to people outside the sport,

but sometimes the scores
reflect more than

what's happening
out there on the ice.

Well, we know the judges
have their favorites,

and they obviously
don't include Kate Moseley
and Doug Dorsey.

It looks like
the Weidermans

will join Newman
and Peckarovski
on the Olympic team.

This is horse shit!

What kind of crap are
they trying to pull?

We skated our
asses off out there!

You call this a sport?

Bullshit!

then I'm not sure,
but it looked like

she got caught
in his lederhosen.

We are in.

Yeah! Yeah!
We're going to France!

Okay.

Whoa!

You wanna dance?

No, I don't think so.

Oh, Doug.

Douglas, you silly thing.

Please don't think...

That's what I like
about the way I feel.

I feel like even if I tried
to think I couldn't.

And I think too much,
and I think so long.

And it's so tiring.

The world is spinning
and spinning and spinning...

Did you ever play
at magnets?

You know how
you used to have
to push 'em around

and they'd push away,
and you push 'em around
on a table,

and then all you really
had to do was just
flip them over and...

And suddenly...

Don't you see?
That's why everything's
been so awful.

All we needed
was a little flip.

Come on, Kate,
it's not right.
What about Hale?

Oh, Hale schmale!

We're through.

Our engagement is off.

Flip.

Come on, not tonight.

Not like this.

Not like what?

Not like me?

Kate, you're bombed!

What do you mean?

That means that it's time
for you to go to bed.

God, that's just
what I need!

Someone else telling
me what to do!

In case you've missed it,

I am throwing myself at you!

I am tearing off my clothes,

and you are giving me
a rundown on drinking
dos and don'ts!

Kate, why don't you calm...

Listen, I get enough coaching
on the ice. Get out.

You've got this all wrong.

Do I ever.

Excuse my surprise,
but really,

what a disappointment.

What is that
supposed to mean?

Well, look at you.

God's gift to
reckless abandon

revealed as nothing
but a prude
in wolf's clothing.

You're a lousy drunk.

And you're a lousy date!

It didn't have
to be like this.

It's a little early
for practice, isn't it?

I'm sorry, I must
have the wrong room.

Ask her for
more towels,
will you?

Kate.

Kate!

Kate, will you
wait a minute? Kate!

Kate!

Kate! Kate!

Don't. Don't even try it.
Just looking at you
makes me sick.

To think I was
coming to apologize.

Lorie Peckarovski!

Were you or were you not
engaged to be married
until last night?

That's hardly the point.

You threw me
out of your room.

Count your blessings.
She may not have
waited much longer.

That's not
how it happened.

Spare me the details.

Where the hell
do you get off?

- Me?
- This is my fault?

From the first day I walk
into your rink, you treat
me like a hired hand,

then one night
you get drunk,

I'm supposed to roll over
and thank my lucky stars?

I'm sorry, I don't
downshift that fast.

Get out of my way.

No problem.

I've been practicing
that move
for a year and a half!

Blind date.

So we have little
problem, da?

Good.
We skip little problem,

and go straight line
to big problem.

"And what is big
problem, Coach?"

Smilkov and Brushkin.

"Who?"

Smilkov and Brushkin!

Last night they win
European Championship.

Perfect scores.

Everybody's been
blown away.

Contest is over.

Smilkov and Brushkin
are unbeatable.

So, hello,
Soviet surprise package,

goodbye gold medal.

Of course, there is
a possible solution,

but is probably
too dangerous.

Where did these
come from?

For 20 years
I been working on this,

but, you know,
to have skaters,

to have situation,
to have zhelanya, desire.

Is not ready until now.

What is this?
Is this a bounce spin
into a throw?

Mmm-hmm.

You can't do that.

The key to this is release.
There can be no halfway.

No. No, it's illegal.

Is gray area.

Bounce spin
to a throw twist,

and I catch her?

Well, sort of.

We can't do this.

Why not?

We have all the pieces.

We have five weeks.

The Pamchenko Twist.

Absolutely not.

What, do you expect us
to name it after you?

No, no, is mistake.

Is not right time.

No, no, wait a minute.
This is good stuff.
I can do this.

So what are you
saying, I can't?

Hey, if the shoe fits...

Hey, listen, I have been
competing for 13 years,

and nobody tells me
what I can or cannot do!

Don't quit your day job.

Okay, again.

Again!

Again! Again! Again! Again!

Katya, head up!

Higher! Higher!
She has to fly!

Are they gonna get it?

Eventually.

Before they kill
each other?

Release, release from the top.

There's no halfway.
Halfway is bullshit.

You go halfway,
you get hurt.

Higher! Much higher!

We are needing
an explosion!

Kate?

I was just looking
at the pictures of mother.

I can hear her now,
"The Olympics!"

It's what she
always dreamed of.

Look at this thing.

Just sitting here empty.

We're almost there, honey.

I can taste it.

What if it stays empty?

Mmm. Not this time.

You should go to bed.
You need your rest.

I'm not tired.

- Kate.
- No.

What are we doing?

Why am I doing this?

It's what you've
always wanted.

Always?

Kate... I know.

I'm going.

These little pep talks
can be so exhausting.

Opening ceremonies,
you enjoyed yourselves?

- Oh, it was great.
- Cold and great.

So, Doug, what's
the difference between
this and hockey?

The women.

What's the feeling then?
Everybody out for themselves

or is there
a team spirit building?

Oh, we're definitely a team.

Definitely.

There's a real sense
of togetherness.

- Spirit.
- Spirit.

Family. It's sort of...

It's almost...
It's almost...

Orgasmic.

What did she say?

- Russians.
- The Russians!

Nikolai!

- Nikolai!
-
Can we get a photo?

You guys are gonna
be here a while.

You forgot a button.

No, I like it open.

Well, it looks terrible.

It pulls at my neck.

Well, you should have
mentioned that in Chicago.

Enough!

Button it.

We're on.

Good luck.

Moseley and Dorsey.

For the last time,
button the goddamn button.

Get over it.

You are an immature asshole
of the lowest order!

If it was 40 below,

and that button
meant the difference

between a long satisfying life
and a cold horrible death

from hypothermia,
I still wouldn't give
you the satisfaction.

Skate.

but did you feel, as I did,
that there was
something missing?

all the short program
required moves,

but it seemed very cold.

As if we were
seeing two strangers
rather than a fluid pair.

It just didn't look
like they were
having fun out there.

Kate, Doug...

Was the altitude
a problem tonight?

No.

Long program, we've
been hearing all week

about your new surprise
move you've been working on.
What's it called?

The Pamchenko.

The Pamchenko.
Is that named after... We're not doing it.

What?

We've taken it
out of the program.

It's not ready.

Doug?

A button!
What in hell
are you thinking of?

- Me?
- Yes, you, what the hell
is in your head?

He's making it out
like this is my fault!

You didn't deliver,
you didn't get it done.

What do you want,
a pat on the back?

When did I become
the designated
asshole around here?

You want to know
what happened?
Ask the Ice Queen!

That'll be about
enough of that.

Oh, let me know when
you're done laying
down the law, Jack,

because then maybe
you can tell me why
I spent five weeks

on a move she was
never gonna do!

- You're out of line!
- I needed the gold medal!

So we forget the move!
We can win
without the move!

No, no,
it's impossible...

Where in the hell were you
when all this was going on?

Where was I?
I was babysitting!

Loud and clear, folks!
Losing gracefully
does nothing for me!

Maybe you should
think about that
in the future next time.

Oh, is that
what you told Brian
in Calgary?

You can kid yourselves
all you want
about what happened.

I've seen the tapes.
Brian was getting it done.

Ask him, he'll tell you.

All right, Douglas,
is enough.

Today it's about a button.
You people are all excuses.

You want to point a finger...

You goddamn
son of a bitch.

Gotta find that go-to guy?

You should've started
with a go-to girl, Jack!

- All right, that cuts it.
- He's right.

What?

He's right, he is.

All of it.

We worked so hard
for two years,

and I just went
and threw it all away.

Why did you stay with me?

Kate, don't.

Don't what?

Tell the truth?

We can't buy back
what happened today.

We can't start over.

Do you think
I look at myself,

at what I've become,
and do you think I'm proud?

What do you want?

I don't know.

I guess I would
like to go back
to the beginning

and have you say,
win or lose,

I could just
be your daughter.

You came every day
and you skated.

This must have been
like a nightmare for you.

I didn't know it was
gonna end up like this.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry
for everything.

Please excuse me.

I'm going for a walk.

Kate!

What's this?

I'm going over
with my father.

Anton has the other car.

He'll take you over
when you're ready to go.

No, I'm talking
about the bags.

I was gonna try and catch
the 6:30 flight tonight.

Tonight?
After we skate?

The house is paid
up for two weeks,

so feel free to stay
as long as you like.

Kate, wait. What are
you saying? If this
is about yesterday...

I'm retiring.

What?

This afternoon is
my final skate.

Kate, come on...

You'll be fine.

You won't have any trouble
finding another partner.

Of course, they won't have
my wonderful slap shot.

I gotta go get ready.

I hope they can keep it
going till the finish.

Newman
and Peckarovski looking
well-positioned for a medal.

and Kate Moseley
and Doug Dorsey.

Do you know what I think
would be wonderful?

If you would
go out there today

and skate
for these people

the way I have
seen you skate.

Enjoy each other.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Are you all right?

Fine.

Kate, I'm sorry,
I... My timing,
I know it stinks,

but I just keep thinking,
this thing with us,

it's gonna go away.

I keep thinking that
if I can just keep moving

and checking,
I'll get clear.

But...

Do you understand
what I'm telling you?

You don't want
to fight anymore.

No. I mean, yeah,

I don't want
to fight anymore.

Doug, we have to skate.

Wait, Kate,
maybe I wasn't ready.

Maybe you didn't give me
much of a chance.

Maybe... I don't know...

I just... I just...

Kate, somewhere in
the middle of all this,
I fell in love with you.

You may take the ice.

I'm saying I love you.

I'm saying it out loud.

Don't say we're not
right for each other,

because the way I see it,
we might not be right
for anybody else.

You have to go on now.

Will you shut up
a minute?

It can't be any harder
to stay together

than it was
to stay apart.

Thirty seconds!

Will you wait a minute?

Kate,

I need you.

I need you.

We're doing
the Pamchenko.

What?

Oh, you heard me!

You think I'm doing all this
to get a program out of you?

You want to win,
don't you?

No. It's no good, Kate.
It's too dangerous.

Then we agreed.
I'm putting it in.

- It's out.
- It's in.

- Out.
- In.

- Out!
- In!

What difference
does it make?

The difference is
I'm in the mood
to kick a little ass.

You didn't have to.

Yes, I did.

Why?

Because I love you.

Just remember
who said it first.
