Chalet Girl Page #6

J it's in the stars, in the sun

.P it's everywhere, in everyone

I And it will be every day

J From now on

J We are one

.P It's amazing

(Jonny) It's like pass the parcel.

Wh at?

Nothing.

(Kim) Would it freak you out if I said

that was the best day of my life?

OK, maybe not the best,

but certainly top... five.

What is with you people

walking in on me naked?

I think the idea was

you stayed below stairs, young lady.

And you, don't you have

an engagement party to go to?

For a second there

I thought she meant...

Oh.

- I did try to tell you.

- (Kim) it's not hard.

"Did you hear

Jonny proposed to Chloe?"

"No. Thanks for letting me know, chum."

I didn't want to see you get hurt.

Yeah, you just did a spiffing job

all round, didn't you?

She's a chalet girl.

My God, it is such a clich.

I wouldn't have minded so much

if you were discreet

but Bernhardt said you were all over

each other, on the beginner slope!

Bernhardt could learn a few things

about being discreet himself.

Honey, do you realise

what you're risking here?

You have to stop this right now,

or I will.

This isn't Jane Austen, Mum.

Look, when you and Dad met...

Enough, Jonathan.

I just think you can do better.

Well, I don't think

Dad could have done better.

Look, your father and I, we got lucky.

But believe me,

this girl is only after one thing.

Yeah. And it was great.

- Is there a reason you're still here?

- Look, Kim, can we just...

There's a noise. I can't quite...

Oh, that's right, it's a lying bastard.

Yeah. OK.

Erm, well, look, I owe you...

three hours.

(laughs)

Sh*t.

Kim! Kim, wait! Kim!

Kim!

About 8:
30 tomorrow.

I'll cook you a nice tea to celebrate.

- What about the competition?

-I was never going to win.

It's fine. I can come back

and sort you out.

I've lasted three months.

I'm sure I can manage another week.

Dad, I looked online

at your latest order. 24 tins of beans?

Are you giving up

the chance of a lifetime

because I'm eating

too many baked beans?

Someone's got to take care of you.

Oh, no, you don't.

Don't you dare do that, Kimmy.

Don't you put this on me.

This is your decision.

Anyway, since when did my Kimmy

ever say there was no way

she was gonna win something?

I'll tell you something else, Kimberley.

What, William?

It's what she would have wanted.

Hallo. Was bekommst du?

Erm, what do you want?

It's a beautiful spring morning

here in St Anton,

perfect conditions

for the open qualifiers!

Come on! Come on!

(commentator) .ranks with a kicker.

Mixing things up

and finishing off

with a super styley 540

that should see him through

to the weekend's final.

And there it is, a 73!

That sends Hampton through.

Next up, from Finland, Mikki Niemenan!

- That's you, champ.

- Is Georgie out there?

Well, don't think about her.

Think about the run. Only the run.

Be the board.

(start-gate monitor) Go!

(commentated Here he goes,

the Finnish freak now going down,

hammers those rails!

Niemenan

showing some impressive skills.

Switch 50-50, backside 180.

Sweet! Coming up to the booter

where he fell last year.

Hits it, going for broke!

Whoa!

And broke it is!

He's up, but he's going to have

a monster headache in the morning.

- You sure you want this?

- Just do it.

And in the ladies' qualifiers now...

Don't worry, it's legal.

- Better than sex too.

- ..Tara Dakides!

A solid 50-50 on the goalpost. Boom!

She spread some butter on the box!

And a frontside seven lean!

A master class from the master!

The Greek goddess!

Whatever, man! She is awesome!

The Queen of Scream is back!

- Ow!

- Now, last up, strapped in,

trying to follow an amazing run,

newcomer Kim Matthews.

Let's see what she has got!

Drei, zwei, eins. Go!

A front 180 to switch tail, a 180 out!

Textbook awesomeness!

A silky tail press. Nice one, Matthews!

Throwing an indy grab

coming off the box!

And here she goes now,

coming up to the big booter!

(car horn blares)

What's happened there?

She's stopped short

and takes the lame line down.

Kim might have done just enough on the

top section to get into the main event.

Oh, no. 59, just outside qualification.

Kim will be back on finals day,

but she'll have to wait and see

if she gets a ride.

I came 21 st. Yay!

That's great. How many qualify?

The top 20. So, suddenly, not so yay.

I am first reserve though.

- I get a chance if someone pulls out.

- You gave it your best shot though.

(door opens)

- Dad, I've got to go.

- OK, bye.

Bye.

- (Mikki laughs)

- Finland!

Morphine rules!

It's just ligaments, thank God.

Oh, piss off! Again.

(snoring)

- (willy) Hi.

- (gasps)

So you are the Yeti.

Must be the hair.

Want to talk about it?

No.

It's just something that...

Er...

We were...

We were driving home, and, erm...

I'd just won the London Trials

and... all of us in the car,

me and my mum and dad,

were singing at the top of our voices

and we were all laughing

cos none of us can sing for sh*t.

And, erm...

Er...

My dad had to swerve, and...

And he skidded off the road.

And my...

My mum was on the side

that got hit, and...

And she died.

My mum died.

I just really miss her.

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

I always get like this

when I'm around Yetis.

Let's ride.

(Willy) I always tell the mountains

my problems. They're good listeners.

Two minutes. I'm going to go

and tell the caterers.

(man) Jonathan!

Deidre and I would like to say...

Lord and Lady Marberry,

can I get you another drink?

Well, why not? Good to see you.

If you've got to do it, do it now.

He had it the entire time we were there

and I had no idea. Such a surprise.

- Excuse me. Can I have a word?

- Yeah.

Thanks.

What's up?

Wh at?

- What is it?

- Erm...

I have an idea

that I wanted to run by you.

How-How would you feel

if we didn't get married?

How would that sit with you?

- Good idea.

- Really? You're OK with this?

Of course I'm not OK with it.

- Look, I understand it's bad timing.

- Do you really?

Ending a five-year relationship

in the middle of our engagement party?

Yes, I think that constitutes

bad timing!

(room falls silent)

- I'm sorry, I'm...

- An a**hole is what you are!

Exactly right. I am.

You're in love with her, aren't you?

Exactly right. I am.

Someday I will probably

thank you for this,

for not going through with it

just to please your mother.

But today...

(all gasp)

Today, it's not quite how I'm feeling.

Here, I got you some ice

for the swelling.

They're gonna blow up.

Come on, let's go.

- And for your next trick...

- You're not upset?

She's lovely, but I trust you.

- Your mother, on the other hand...

- (wine glass tings)

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you the happy couple.

In the unlikely event

of an emergency landing,

the cabin crew will direct you

to the nearest available exit.

It was like love at first sight.

They were kids,

if you can believe that.

(sighs) OK, baby. Let's get you drunk.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Yeah, laters, babe. Yeah.
