The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream Page #4

Yeah. Do you want

some tea or something?

- Yeah, sure. Yeah.

- Okay.

Should have warned me about the water.

What are you doing here?

I thought you were seeing the doctor.

I figured since I got all this time,

I might get this out of the way.

- Nice car, by the way.

- You're such a snob.

Can you give me a hand with this?

- So, have you spoken to Bryan yet?

Nothing to say.

You could have shown him

a little more respect, Zack.

He doesn't want respect.

He wants controI.

Be carefuI.

- Don't let this girI fall in love with you.

- Not likely.

- She knows what I am.

- Which is what?

You're handsome, talented and rich.

And you're a nice guy,

which only makes it worse.

Trust me.

She won't be able to stop herself,

and she won't know how to handle it.

- I just want to skate with her.

- Then skate.

But don't let her get attached.

I know what I'm talking about, Zack.

Keep it business.

So here we are.

If you have any questions,

you might want to ask yourself if that's

more important than getting to nationals.

And if you have to go to the bathroom,

save it for after Miami.

Okay, now I want you

to keep your head up,

and I want you to keep your leg straight.

Good job.

Try and get your arabesque a little higher.

All right. I want you guys

to do backwards crossovers.

Please remember to keep your head up

and, Alex,

track Zack. Okay? Now go.

One, two. One, two, one, two.

Okay, okay. Good. Try again. Sharper.

Alex, when you hold your hands,

hold them up. Right there...

I think crossovers are the same...

Hey, Zack, you want some?

My mom made it.

Love the circle...

Knees, knees, knees.

Breaking up your timing in the lifts.

That was better, that's better.

Nice edges.

More, guys, more.

Again.

Faster, faster.

One more time, come on.

Talk about a hard-nosed vibora.

But we showed her, huh?

Hey, I do something to piss you off?

Look, I know we're working hard,

but you barely looked at me all day.

No, we're cooI.

We don't want you

sleeping on the couch, so...

Mama set up a bed for you in the kitchen.

There's a bathroom around back,

and if you need a...

Five, six, seven, eight.

Didn't think I'd turn around and say

That it's too late to apologize

It's too late

That it's too late to apologize

It's too late

I'd take another chance

Take a fall

Take a shot for you

I need you like a heart needs a beat

Hi.

Yeah, yeah

I loved you with a fire red

Now it's turning blue

And you say sorry like the angel

Heaven let me think was you

But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize

It's too late

I said it's too late to apologize

It's too late

It's too late to apologize

It's too late

I said it's too late to apologize

It's too late

I said it's too late to apologize

Yeah

I said it's too late to apologize

Yeah

I'm holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground

- Lock your arms.

- Okay.

Alex, chest up.

Zack, you okay?

- No.

Zack? Zack!

Oh, man.

Can we break?

Sure.

Okay, that was good.

I'm serious, I just need a minute.

How about just take the rest of your life?

Hey!

Listen, I promised to skate for you,

which I will keep doing

untiI there is nothing left.

And then... No. And then,

I will get up and skate some more.

I will never quit,

and neither will you.

You're too kind.

Let's go.

Hey.

What'd you say to her?

- Nothing, I...

- No, no, don't give me that.

Alex is the toughest kid I know.

And now she's upstairs,

crying her eyes out.

All right, I'll go talk to her.

Okay?

No.

Not okay.

And mind your own business.

Okay.

Look...

If you think you've made a mistake,

just say so.

- About what?

- You know what.

That I don't fit. That I'm not good enough.

That you're wasting your time.

You don't look at me.

You don't talk to me.

What? I'm a disease?

Man.

No, no.

Are you kidding?

Does it look like I'm kidding?

Alex, you're unbelievable.

PhenomenaI.

And you're pretty, and smart,

and more determined

than anyone I've ever known.

I just... I didn't want to give you

the wrong idea, that I was...

You know, trying to come on

or take advantage.

I'm just trying to be carefuI,

because I don't want to hurt you.

Don't worry.

I don't break so easily.

ROB ON TV.; And we're live from Miami,

with the pairs figure skating finals,

the premier event of the season.

An evening that promises to be

both dramatic and

- decisive...

- Decisive, as the top three pairs move on

to the

InternationaI Figure Skating Conference

- in Paris.

- How'd you do that?

Hold on. Here's the part about us.

In fact, anyone's first look at Zack Conroy

and his new partner,

Alexandra Maria Elena Delgado.

- That's quite a mouthful.

- And quite an eyeful, or so we're told.

With a new coach

and rumors of a romance,

there is no doubt

the world will be watching.

But they'll have their work

cut out for them against their rivals.

Okay, we don't need to hear about them.

No, 'cause you're gonna be seeing

more of us than you can stomach.

Oh, and you must be Alexandra.

Is that Delgado

as in the Tijuana Delgados?

Cameras.

Well, I see everyone's already

exchanged pleasantries.

Yeah.

One big, happy, dysfunctionaI family.

No hard feelings, Zack.

Now that we've both moved on,

I'll just have to console myself

with these two future world champs.

They're gonna have to beat us

on the ice first.

Beat you? I don't think that's gonna be

too much of a problem there, Zacko,

seeing how you're so good at crippling

your own partners.

Hey, hey, hey.

We'll see you on the ice, Zack.

Hey. I just wanted to wish you both

the best. Skate well.

ANNOUNCER.; First pair up,

Bright and Halyard take the ice.

These two really skate as one, don't they?

They certainly do.

And they've got so much strength

and so much power on the ice,

they are just a pleasure to watch.

ROB.; Well, we've said it before, we say it

again, Bright and Halyard look unbeatable.

How are the collars?

Is there any leveI threes in the footwork?

No, not yet. But hold your spins. You

might be able to pick up a bullet for revs.

Yes! Yeah!

And what a performance.

Very, very strong.

How's it feeI?

- I think I'm numb.

- Well, just keep breathing. You'll be great.

What I love about this pair

is their consistency

every time they step out on the ice.

Every single time,

including from the beginning,

the split triple-twist was awesome.

They did a remarkable job today.

Good for them.

Congratulations. You were fantastic.

Just a great performance today

from Bright and Halyard.

And, of course, this is all

under their new coach, Bryan Hemmings.

But I think this routine is firmly

going to put them in first place.

- Did we cover grade of execution?

- It's covered. I'm ready.

- ANNOUNCER.; Ladies and gentlemen...

- Go for gold.

Next on the ice, Conroy and Delgado.

Now the time has come

to see if Zack Conroy

has found redemption

with his new partner,

or to see if the unfortunate loss

of Celeste Mercier

will continue to haunt him.
