Ice Princess Page #3

Don't we, Case?

Great!

I know I'm late. I'm sorry.

That's the first rule.

[Tina] All right, let's get ready.

Come on.

- That's what she said...

- I have to do two turns...

- Really?

- Yeah.

We're supposed to go round

the side, remember?

- Oh...

- It's right there.

- Right there, is that better?

- Yeah...

Deep breath.

And then you let it out.

- It didn't work.

- Come on.

Okay, everybody.

[Tina] I'll take that.

- [whispers] Good luck.

- Thanks.

[Tina] Nice and slow.

Lily, no talking.

[crowd murmurs]

Hi.

[applause]

[# Lucy Woodward:

It's Oh So Quiet]

# Sh!

[all giggle]

# Sh!

Mom...

Is she wearing your old costume?

# It's oh so still

# Sh! Sh!

# You're all alone

# Sh! Sh!

# And so peaceful until

# You fall in love

# Zing boom

# The sky up above

# Zing boom

# Is caving in

# Whoo! Whoo!

# You never been

so nuts about a guy

# You wanna laugh

You wanna cry

# You cross your heart

and hope to die

# You ring that bell

# Bim boom

# You shout and you yell

# Oh-oh-oh-oh

# You broke the spell

# Gee, this is swell

You almost have a fit

# This guy is gorge and I got hit

# There's no mistake

This is it

# You blow a fuse

# Zing boom

# The devil cuts loose

# Zing boom

# So, what's the use

# Whoo! Whoo!

# Of falling in love?

# The sky caves in

The devil cuts loose

# You blow blow blow

blow blow your fuse

# Oh! When you fall in love

# Sh! #

[applause]

[man] Bravo!

Yes!

Whoo!

- What's my score?

- How did I do?

How did I do?

"Novice pass." Yes!

- Casey, how did you do?

- Fine, I guess.

It says..."Junior pass."

[girls gasp]

- What?

- [girl] You skipped two levels.

[gasps and exclamations]

- Why didn't I skip two levels?

- Because you're six, Lily.

Junior level is where

Gen and Nikki and Tiff are at.

Is that true, Tina?

That I'm on a junior level?

Yes, it's true.

Okay, everybody, let's get changed.

[Gen] Come on, everybody. Let's go.

So, if I...

- If I wanted to compete?

- You can't.

Why not?

What happened was, the judges saw the

same thing I've been seeing all summer.

You got some raw talent. That's not

enough for a shot at the regionals.

You need a coach, a valet,

a choreographer, private ice time.

Nikki's parents took out

a second mortgage to do this.

- And Tiffany's dad works two jobs.

- Oh.

- Where d'you get those skates?

- Garage sale.

They're falling off your feet.

You need custom boots, $600 minimum,

and the blades need to be sharpened

every six weeks.

You get it?

I'm sorry. It is what it is.

You have to want it. You have to

want it more than anything else.

It's not something you do on a whim.

[alarm rings]

[groans]

You know what I was thinking,

Miss Senior?

This is the last first day of school.

Because the next first day,

you'll be in a dorm.

So I went a little nuts.

I made pancakes with white flour.

[Nikki] Can you believe summer's over?

We're wasting our lives here.

[clapping]

- Heard you landed a double.

- Tiff!

- Well? That took me two years.

- Really?

- So I guess we'll see you then?

- No, you won't.

Not at the rink.

I can't train with you guys.

Why not?

Um, I can't afford it.

- Oh!

- Yeah.

But, um, it's been fun.

Look, Casey.

I'll tell you something, all right.

You don't know how lucky you are.

- For what?

- To have a life.

- You think I have a life?

- I know you do.

You have TV time, and friend time...

But you get to skate all you want.

[laughs] More than I want.

I'd love to be you.

Have a Saturday night,

see your boyfriend...

- Yeah...

- Eat what you want.

Like bread.

Buckets and buckets of bread.

Oh, boo-hoo-hoo! Who cares?

Who cares about all that stuff?

Don't you just wanna skate all the time?

- No.

- No.

What's the matter with you people?

Are you insane?

The Jumping Shrimp is a skating machine.

- "The Jumping Shrimp"?

- My mom copyrighted it.

See ya.

Scary.

We must learn from her.

This is exactly what the

scholarship committee is looking for.

Your enthusiasm for the project

just leaps off the page.

In fact, it's so good,

you could probably sell it.

Thanks.

- Tiffany.

- Hey.

What if I told you

I could fix your spread eagle?

Would you like to learn how

to stop traveling on your sit spin?

I don't!

Well, maybe I do.

You could land your double Axel.

Clean.

[# Hayden Panettiere: Fly]

# I needed some wings

to make it right

# I had to fly away

# I busted out and headed straight

# Now I'm lovin' life

# 'Cause nothin' can get in my way

# I'm the prettiest thing in the sky

# Break me, break me

# You think you can

Take me, take me...

And she's back!

How'd you score the rink time?

Physics!

[Casey] I'm trading my science project.

Look, you carved up

my nice smooth ice.

But, you know, it wasn't so hard

watching you do it.

Casey!

Mom? What are you doing here?

Orthodontist. New NightGuard fitting.

Remember?

[sighs]

Here.

What's... What's going on here?

Who's this?

- Uh...

- Teddy.

[Casey] Right. Teddy.

Teddy drives the Zamboni.

Teddy the Zamboni driver.

[Mom] I thought you were

working on your project.

She was.

Your daughter's very talented.

And... and you are...?

- Tina.

- [Mom] Tina Harwood?

- Yes.

- The skater.

Yes.

With all the trophies

and the little outfits.

Yes.

Well, don't let me interrupt.

- Carry on with all your fun here.

- Thank you. I will.

- Come on, Mom.

- [Mom] Yes. Yes, of course.

Bye.

Okay. You need to

keep your knees in tighter,

point your foot, so you'll spin faster.

Okay, easy enough.

[# Superchick:
Get Up]

# I'm not afraid to fall

# It means I climbed up high

# To fall is not to fail

# You fail when you don't try

# Not afraid to fall

I might just...

Better?

Perfect.

# If I get up

I might fall back down again

# So let's get up, come on

# If I get up

I might fall back down again

# We get up anyway

# If I get up

I might fall back down again

# So let's get up, come on

# If I get up

I might fall back down again

# And I might

fall back down again #

- It worked!

- Just like you said it would.

The computer doesn't make the jumps.

That was all you.

Come on, Mom, just this one time.

I'll be back by eleven.

Come on, Mom, just this one time.

I'll be back by eleven.

You have a 5:
30a.m. practice tomorrow.

Think you're gonna be all sparkly for

that if I let you stay out all hours?

Mom, I landed my Axel.

Can't I just have

one Saturday night, please?

Who are you going with?

Hi, um...

- D'you wanna hang out tonight?

- With you?

Yeah, you know, get something to eat.

- Maybe do a movie or something.

- Um... yeah.

[music plays]

- [Casey] But...

- [Gen] Here we are...

This doesn't look like a movie.

[Casey] Gen!

Gen!

Gen!

Gen!

l, um...

I'm not dressed for a party.

Shake it.

Your hair.

Now, no one will notice.

Work the hair.

- Hi.

- Hi.

[music plays]

I don't know any of these people.

Sure, you do.

They're all in your class.

There's... Jason, football.

And Luke, soccer.
