The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold Page #6

Really, there's more?

Please do tell me...

...because I am sitting

on the edge of my seat.

I....

God, why did you have to bring

this up right now?

I'm gonna hang up my skates

after this.

-You're quitting.

-No. Retiring.

Come on, it shouldn't come

as too big of a surprise. I mean...

...this was the plan, right?

Win or lose, we did it. We're here.

So, what, we do another season,

some ice shows?

-Come on, then what, you know?

-I don't know.

I guess I really hadn't thought

too much past next week.

Mi scusi, your taxi is here.

I'm going to Milan for a few days.

I looked around and white dresses

are kind of in short supply.

Don't worry,

I'll be back for the finals.

I'm not worried.

I'll help you get your stuff.

Now, technically,

they've made no mistakes so far.

But surprisingly, the performance

by this American duo...

...has been passionless

and very uninspired.

-What the hell is your problem?

-I don't have a problem.

They're probably fourth

or fifth right now.

They'll really have

to put it together...

...if they want any shot

at medalling here today.

Jackie.

-Jackie.

-No, not now.

Hey. Hey, don't walk away from me...

...when I'm talking to you. Hey.

-What?

-Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

But you gotta get over it.

That's easy for you to say.

You're not being abandoned.

Abandoning you?

Jackie, we're at the freaking Olympics,

your dream.

What the hell else do you want

from me?

-Nothing.

-Nothing.

I want absolutely nothing.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. I thought you'd be up.

-Able to get any sleep?

-On and off.

Okay, more off than on.

I guess I'm just a little anxious.

-And puffy.

-Jackie, what are you doing?

I'm trying to figure a way to stop...

...a billion people discussing

the bags under my eyes.

You've worked your whole life

to be here.

-You sacrificed everything.

-It was my choice.

Yes, I know. I know.

And I couldn't have stopped you

even if I wanted to.

Then I saw you skate yesterday.

-You weren't even trying.

-I was trying. Alex was messing up--

Are you willing to give up

on your dream...

...because things aren't working out

with Alex...

...the way you want them

to work out?

You could win this,

if you still want it.

-I don't know what I want.

-I think you do.

And for the life of me, I can't figure out

why you're just sitting here.

Talk to him, for crying out loud.

What? No.

What is that going to do?

He knows how I feel.

How does he know, Jackie?

Have you told him?

Have you said, "Alex, I think

you're making a horrible mistake"?

Have you told him

that you love him?

But what if I tell him

and he still doesn't want me?

Well, then you sit here

and watch the sunrise.

Your old man will bring coffee

and croissants.

-It's not that simple.

-You're the one making it difficult.

If it was meant to be,

it wouldn't be this hard.

It would've already happened.

Maybe you're right.

I don't know.

But what is it you're always saying?

" It isn't worth winning

if you don't have to fight for it"?

Alex, it's me.

I know you're in there.

I probably wouldn't let me in either

after yesterday.

Look, I know I'm gonna see you

in less than an hour...

...but I know that it might be

the last time, so....

I think that l--

I should tell you some things.

Just one thing, really.

The only thing

that matters anymore...

...to me, at least....

Alex, from the very first....

God, you are so....

Alex, I love you.

I love you.

There, that's-- You know,

that's what I wanted to say, okay?

Could you maybe

open the door, please...

...because I don't really wanna be

out here like this.

Alex?

Hey, was somebody at the door?

Just the maid.

She wanted to make up the bed...

...but I told her

we weren't done using it yet.

It's only 7:
00,

why would the maid...?

-Oh, God, Heidi.

-Alex.

Don't go after her.

Jackie.

I couldn't find her.

Did she say anything?

Probably nothing

you don't already know.

I think I'm gonna go.

Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

Look, I'm sorry.

Yeah, so am I.

You know it's never gonna work.

I think you're wrong.

I won't be here this time

if you come back.

I know.

Hey!

-Still?

-No, I haven't seen her.

I haven't talked to her. Kate's in there

with her, and she won't come out.

And I tried storming the castle,

but Schomo and Bobo over here...

-He's okay. I got him.

-...tossed me out on my sequined ass.

--for Jacqueline Dorsey

and Alex Harrison.

Stay focused.

We're up, let's go.

Jackie, please talk to me.

What is going on?

I think I've told you everything

that I needed to say.

You have 15 seconds

to take the ice.

Let's get through this,

then we'll never have...

...to see each other ever again.

Is that what you want?

Yes, that's what I want.

Fine, have it your way.

There's only one problem.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

I'm in love with you, Jackie.

I love you and I wanna spend

the rest of my life with you.

-Do a split twist.

-What?

Trust me.

-What was that?

-I don't know.

That is unbelievable.

A split triple twist

with a simultaneous triple toe.

That's gonna go down

in Olympic history. Unbelievable.

Beers on me. Beers on me.

Yes.

The answer to everything is yes.

Yes.
