Kiss and Cry

---

1

It may not look like it,

But I'm totally shitting

my pants right now.

Mainly 'cause of this guy,

Shin.

If I don't land this jump,

he's going to yell at me.

Well, he'll do that either way

because that's how

he motivates.

I'm also shitting myself

because they're here.

Mom and Dad.

They paid a lot of money for

me to skate over the years

and if I let them down,

my dad's totally

gonna make me pay him back.

Okay, I'm joking.

I just want them to be proud.

Those marks mean

you must work harder.

Much harder. More practice.

More discipline.

- Why are you talking like I.

- Didn't just pass my junior test?

- Wait, no, not pass,

- I aced it.

- I'm elite now!

- You want a cookie?

It's bad for training.

- How are you not more.

- Excited about this?

- I could go.

- To the Olympics!

I am happy.

Would it kill you

to show it?

Old saying.

Treat triumph

like a funeral.

Funeral like triumph.

What does that

even mean?

- Only celebrate.

- At the end?

- Where's the fun.

- n that?

- I don't think Shin.

- Believes in fun.

Unless it involves

plastic wrap.

What are you guys

talking about?

We saw him jogging in the

park with his arms and legs.

And abs!

Wrapped up in plastic.

Hey, the man's

been to two Olympics.

Maybe we should do that.

Seriously though,

what did that even mean?

Treat triumph like funeral.

No way.

My motto is always smile.

I don't mean be fake,

but always, always find

a reason to be happy.

And if you can't,

smile anyway.

Why the heck not?

Hey Car,

are you ready...?

Oh my God.

That dress is gorgeous.

Mom got you the prom dress.

- She said we could pick it up.

- f I made elite.

It's beautiful.

Thanks.

- I call dibs when.

- That's a hand-me-down.

Ah, no no no no no no.

I have seniority.

That dress goes up first.

Okay, I gotta get dressed.

- Hurry up!

- Come down soon, okay?

Okay.

- Okay, Joe.

- Read back what we got so far.

Yeah. Yes, yes.

Don't even start.

What does it even say?

- You know what?

- It's from my heart.

Congratulating!

Elite, baby!

My sister's going to Sochi.

We're so proud of you.

Aren't we, Mark?

Hey! Hey you,

congratulations.

- I gotta try and.

- Fix this part up.

- Sam, can you grab the.

- Cake cutter for me, honey?

- You know what? I am going to.

- Take you skating next week.

- 'Cause I can still teach.

- You some tricks, too.

Okay.

- You know what?

- Dad!

- Why do you keep.

- Saying drywall?

Like, do you like

working for me?

- I'm gonna have.

- To call you back.

Yeah.

- I think we can.

- Cut the cake now.

- Because he might have to.

- Get back on the phone.

- But, like, you're.

- Not allowed to because.

Do you cut it

like this?

Thanks for coming.

It just does what it wants?

It does do what it wants.

You're totally right.

That's pretty cool.

Yeah I mean it's.

Hey!

Is this your house?

- Only in the winter.

- Really?

- Yeah, I summer.

- n Costa Rico.

Costa Rica.

- What?

- It's Costa Rica.

Ignore my geographically-

challenged friend.

Thank you.

Whoa, what are you doing?

Nothing.

You just have a lint.

Got it.

- I thought you were trying to.

- Put a sticky note on my back.

What? What would

make you think that?

God, I don't even know you.

Don't we have

biology class together?

Do you believe this guy?

Accusing me?

It's just that there's

a bunch on peoples' backs,

- and you have one.

- Balled up in your hand.

No I don't.

That's...

Preposterous!

Yeah, that's preposterous.

God,

I don't even know you.

Who do you think I am?

I mean, who would

do such a thing?

Preposterous.

Whoa, whoa.

Let's see what's

in your hand then?

- No thank you.

- Just let me see it.

- No, seriously.

- Never mind.

I bet you

I could guess it.

Three tries and if you don't

guess, I destroy it forever.

And if I do?

He takes you on date!

With sex!

Whoa, too far!

I think

that's a great idea!

Just the date part.

Absolutely not.

Something else.

Why, are you

scared or something?

I am a lot of things,

but I am not scared.

Well, it's settled then.

If I guess it right, I

get to take you on a date.

Fine.

And if you break this

promise I will find you.

Okay, start guessing.

Cutie?

Strike one.

Okay. Okay.

Mmm...

Hottie?

Wow, you have a high

opinion of yourself, mister.

John.

Mr. John.

Okay, third

and final guess.

Your phone number?

Sorry, John.

Enjoy the party.

Get up there, Becks.

Go!

Yo, Carley!

What was that?

What was what?

Did you just yo me?

Yes, I did.

You know, you could have

said hi, hey, hello, what's up.

Go again.

What?

Go.

I'm messing with you.

Of course you are.

You're really funny.

But not about the yo-ing.

Okay.

No yo's.

No yo's.

Okay.

- So can I walk.

- You to your door?

- You can.

- Never be too careful.

- There's a lot of creepy.

- Weirdos out there.

Isn't that what a

creepy weirdo would say

to a girl walking around

in the dark alone at night?

Nine times out of 10,

you would be right,

but I'm not a creepy weirdo.

See, that is totally what

a creepy weirdo would say.

Are you always like this?

So effusive?

Wow, that's a big word.

That's a dictionary word.

It's like preposterous.

Hey, Carley.

- Look, your friend.

- Becks said.

- Rebecca.

- Only I call her Becks.

Well,

I was talking to Rebecca,

and she said

you owe me a date.

Well played.

So I was thinking.

How about the zoo?

It's a date.

But it has to be

sometime in the afternoon

because I practice

pretty much every day.

- Practice.

- For what?

I'm a skater.

You skate every night?

Pretty much.

I just got elite, so.

Oh.

Congratulations.

You seem disappointed?

It's just that athletes

don't usually have much time

for anything but themselves.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry. I didn't.

- You're judging me.

- Before knowing me?

- Whoa, whoa, Carley,

- this was going so well.

Goodnight, Judge-y

John Johnerson.

At least I don't put

stickers on peoples' backs.

He waited around my

front door for 20 minutes

after I went inside.

Oh.

You're crazy,

he's cute.

He's crazy, I'm cute.

- I just think he meant.

- Dating an athlete.

- Was hard because...

- I know what he meant.

- I'm just.

- Carley!

No phones.

On the ice. Now!

Hey, does Carley

look all right to you?

Okay.

Water break.

Two minutes.

Wow, you're in

here a lot for a man.

Why are you out of breath?

I don't know.

Are you riding bike?

Of course.

Cardio every day.

Training not only on ice.

- I'm doing everything.

- I should be.

What about diet?

Cakes, cookies,

ice cream, soda.

Soda is devil!

I'm not drinking

devil soda, okay?

I just need to catch

my breath.

In movies, people

are always fainting.

When they're scared, tired,

when they get a super

dramatic piece of news.

Here's a tip.

In real life, people

don't faint for no reason.

Deep breath in.

He made me breathe in and

out so many times I got dizzy.

And then he said I had...

...exercise-induced asthma?

- So am I gonna be.

- One of those kids.
