Ice Girls Page #2

I'll see you Monday morning then.

Ah. Gosh, this is swell.

I can 't believe you 're here.

Okay, see you Monday.

Ciao. Bye.

She's back, yes!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Yes!

And this is your room.

Really?

This is for a four-year-old.

Have you guys seen my room?

Never mind. Yours is way worse.

You can make it your own.

Aunt Ginger just redid it for me.

(CHUCKLES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MATTIE:
You know what, Mom?

This really sucks.

We really didn't have a

choice, Mattie Dane.

MATTIE:
You ruined my life.

KELLY:
I did not.

You were this close to being funded.

You're the one that fell, not me.

Mom!

I can't believe you just said that.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

MATTIE:
It's okay.

Okay, very calm, very relaxed, okay?

Be a good girl, Rose, and frown.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You would not believe

who I just saw at the grocery store.

- Who?

- No, you can't move, Rose.

Who?

- Can this wait?

- No.

Kelly Dane.

- Rose!

- Kelly?

- Kelly Dane?

- Yeah.

- Give us a minute.

- Yes.

- At the grocery store, herein town?

- Yes.

She had two kids with her.

How'd she look?

Amazing. (CHUCKLES)

I mean, okay.

Is she just visiting or is she moving back?

I don't know.

(SIGHS) Forget it, never mind.

I'll find out myself.

Okay, Dr. Schacter,

you can come back in now.

I'll be a good girl!

(LINE RINGING)

- MAN:
(ON PHONE) You got something?

- Yeah.

Good, good.

The kid's here.

You want me to collect on the debt?

No, not yet.

Now that we know he's at the rink, go see

his old man first if he's not in jail.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

See, easy as pie.

(CHUCKLES)

Mercury!

Mercury, that choreography was all off.

You're showing her bad technique.

The double axel was weak. The butterfly...

And the flying camel was way off!

No, it wasn't.

Yes, it was.

Yes, it was. Most definitely.

Can you do it again, please?

Rose...

- Do it again.

- I'm done.

Sorry, kiddo. Good luck.

(SCOFFS)

Don't worry about it, Heather,

we're better off without him.

Just... Let's do it again, sweetie.

Music!

We move blindly to the light

Even though we don't know what's inside

Like a diamond, we will shine

Within this life, we don't make time

for all the simple things

When a princess pulls with gold

Like kings and queens on pedestals

The shadow of the soul

Can make the soul look silly

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

Wow!

- Wow!

- Not, "Wow." Better, but not, "Wow."

Heather. Heather, stop!

Heather, stop!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

(MUSIC STOPS)

Excuse me, whoever you are.

This is private ice.

Oh, sorry.

Where's Mercury?

Mercury? Mercury? Mercury?

- Honey, it's okay. I have it.

- Oh.

Mercury, this is private ice, is it not?

I'll take care of this.

Mercury, can you have

that girl removed, please?

And lock the door behind her.

Can't do that, Rose. Fire regs.

Plus, your hour's up.

I'm sorry,

but we lost four minutes because of this.

You can pick it up on the next session.

Okay, that's all right. Thank you, Mercury.

It's not all right.

And what are you thanking him for?

We paid for the ice.

She's good.

Okay.

Good's relative.

Haven't seen you before.

Just moved here from Toronto.

You skate?

I did.

Injury or money?

Both.

Yeah, figures.

Do you have a coach in Toronto?

Yeah, Pat Whillikey.

Pat's not bad.

You know her?

Yeah, I worked with her a long time ago.

You planning a comeback?

Probably not.

Well, you shouldn't have come

into this place.

The smell gets you every time.

Yeah, I should probably get going.

Hey, kid.

Mattie.

If you wanna coach,

I got a tiny tykes program tomorrow.

Regular coach is sick.

Don't even need your skates,

30 bucks an hour.

4:
30 sharp. A minute late, you're fired.

Okay.

Thanks.

HEATHER:
Uh, I'll see you later.

Are you lost?

Yeah, first day.

Do you know where 2C is?

- Heather.

- Mattie.

Follow me, Mattie.

So, didn't I see you at

the rink last night?

Yeah. You're a great skater.

Thanks, I know.

So, this is it.

All right, here you go.

Oh. Hi, guys.

Uh, Kelly, this is Ben and Jerry,

two of our key salesmen.

Uh, guys, this is Kelly.

So, you're the import, huh?

No, no, wait, you're from here.

No, no, you were from here,

but now you're not from here.

We hear you think you're pretty hot.

- Well, so as you know, we're pretty hot, too.

- (MIMICS SIZZLING)

Keep up the good work there, boys.

- See ya.

- Wouldn't want to be ya.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Oh, nice legs.

- Bros first, man!

- No, I get ya. No ups for her.

- Still, that's something.

- It is impressive, yes.

They seem interesting.

(SIGHS) Well, appearances

can be deceiving. (CHUCKLES)

This is a fabulous dealership.

Oh, thanks a lot.

And this is yours.

- Huh?

- Wow. (CHUCKLES)

- Yeah, pretty good, right?

- Yeah.

Spelled it okay.

Uh, coffee? Tea? Me? (CHUCKLES)

- That's a joke, right?

- No thanks. I'm good.

(CHUCKLES)

So, how are you?

No doubt, settled down, partnered up, kids?

No, no, no, no, no.

I guess I never got over

you breaking my heart. (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

- This is great.

- It is.

- Shall we get down to business?

- Uh, right, yeah. Uh...

Your draw down against sales

will be $600 a week.

Oh.

Is that okay?

Oh, yeah.

And, um, there's no need to cause

any trouble right off the bat, right?

(CHUCKLES)

Excuse me?

Your skirt.

What about my skirt?

It's a little short.

You know, the four Ps?

Sorry, the four Ps?

Prudent to appear

as professional as possible.

That's three Ps.

- No, it isn't.

- Yeah.

Prudent, professional, possible. Three.

Well, I always counted appear to be a P.

You know, you're right.

You're absolutely right.

Appear is an A.

- So, how long do I have?

- What?

How long do I have

before I have to make my first sale?

- Uh, well...

- It's okay, Louis. I'm a pro.

Thirty days.

No problem.

He's always looking at me.

Who?

Him. Darcy.

But he's trouble. As in, stay away from.

Well, his dad is in and out of jail

and his mom disappeared a few years ago.

And last year, he beat

up this kid really bad.

Like, really bad.

So, what brought you to Sudbury?

My mom got a job here.

HEATHER:
Here?

MATTIE:
Yeah, believe it or not.

Are you getting ready for Sectionals?

- Yeah, you skate?

- I did.

I bombed out at regionals, injured my knee.

Sorry to hear about your knee,

but it is cool that you skated.

We have a lot in common.

Hi, I'm Portia.

I'm the school social convener.

Mattie.

I just have a couple questions

to get you on the right track.

"Track?"

So, do you qualify yourself as a jock,

goth, emo, raver, motorhead or a princess?

Princess, right?

- (CHUCKLES)

- Uh, I see it.

Been a while, Mercury. You coaching?

No, but I ran into

one of your skaters though.

Let me guess, Mattie Dane.

Yeah, seems like a good kid.

Oh, yeah. No, she's got it.

I hated losing her.

If she gets her knee back,

she can go all the way.

She's that good.

Thanks.
