Oh. (CHUCKLES)

AUNT GINGER:
It's gonna work.

You know, I can loosen them

a little bit more.

- Do you want me to put the laces on it.

- It's too tight.

- Well, let's just loosen...

- They won't fit!

Forget it. I'm sorry

lever started skating again.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Heather the fabric doesn't

lie, it's too tight.

You had them make it too tight.

Don't be ridiculous,

we're gonna have to let this out.

Do you know what, I'm not competing.

Do not...

Do not pull this on me now, okay.

Not after everything I've put out for you.

(SCOFFS) What you've put out?

What about what I've put out.

The abuse I take from you.

It's not abuse, Heather. It's guidance.

I am trying to help you

become a better person.

- You just want me to win.

- Well, of course, I want you to win.

I'm not competing.

I'm not. It's my decision.

No, it isn't. Not after everything

I've sacrificed for you.

The number of days I have spent

in that cold arena drinking bad coffee.

You'll compete and you'll win.

Do you understand me?

You will compete and you'll win.

And this conversation's over.

And the love will drown the pain

Right in the world

In my dreams

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

I want you to know

how very proud I am of you.

Honey...

And I want you to do

one thing for me tomorrow.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Who am Ito give advice

I'm nobody but take a listen

Just like everybody else I've got a story

I don't know how to say it nice

I shine it up and make it glisten

All I know is I belie

ve and it's reassuring

When I was out, when I was down

Somebody told me something

So simple but I follow it to this day

Hey, go follow your rainbow

Follow the rainbow

Hey don't believe when they say no

You say no

Hey, go follow your rainbow

Dan 't you believe, don 't you believe 'em

Hey, don't believe when they say no

Say, "Yeah "

I know what you might be thinking

(CROWD CHEERING)

That'll never work for me

Too young, too old, too poor

They're just excuses

Come on, come on, come on.

Okay, stay on the edge.

Do it, baby. You can do it, baby.

Hey, go follow your rainbow

(GASPS)

Go follow your rainbow

Hey, don't believe when

they say no, say no

(MUMBLING)

You got to

Hey, go follow your rainbow

And you'll find your pot of gold

Hey, don't believe

when they say no, say no

Look deep inside your heart

Well, what do you see,

when you're finally free

If you only take a chance

Now who am Ito give advice

I'm nobody but you better listen

AUNT GINGER:
That's my girl! Come on!

'Cause I'm the little voice

inside your head saying

Hey, go follow your rainbow

Go follow, go follow your rainbow

(CHEERING)

Hey, don't believe when they say no

When they say no, don't you believe it

Hey, go follow your rainbow

And you will find your pot of gold

Dan 't you believe, don 't you believe it

Who am Ito give advice

I'm nobody but you better listen

- Yeah, Mattie!

- Go, Mattie!

I knew you could do it.

But you brought them back.

I'm sorry.

You deserve to win, Mattie.

I don't deserve to skate.

It's not fair to anybody,

especially yourself.

Just look at me, I'm a mess.

No.

You're the black swan,

and you look just how

the black swan should look.

Beautiful.

Go, Heather, please.

Do it for me.

She's crying, brilliant strategy,

adding drama to the moment

for the judges.

Look at the judges,

they can't take their eyes off her.

I didn't think she had

it in her, good girl.

Shut up, Rose.

Seriously, not another word.

Not a word.

Nope, not a chance.
