The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream Page #5

Regardless, an outstanding

performance from Bright and Halyard.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad, at home.

We got it, guys. We got it!

Take a look at these scores.

- The judges definitely agree.

- Whatever.

Their scores are great, and they definitely

have the crowd behind them.

You know I trust you completely.

You don't have to convince me.

But for the hell of it, let's show them.

And we are holding our breath

here in Miami

as Alexandra Delgado skates

for the first time

as a figure skater with Zack Conroy.

This has been a difficult year for him.

Let's see what this couple can offer us

here on the ice.

Center of your blades.

What a unique partnership.

Experienced champion skater,

really, with a raw rookie.

- We good?

- Never better.

Yeah!

For the first time in competition together,

this pair is confident.

And don't forget

who we're talking about here.

I mean, this is Alexandra,

an amateur hockey player,

who has to be

the absolute longest of long shots.

I mean, this is pretty amazing.

They look so comfortable.

Fall. Fall.

Cameras.

So far

And after all this time

So far

You're my kind of guy

So far

Everything is fine

So far

I know that your mine

Watch each other.

So far

Everything is fine

Watch each other.

Oh, my God.

Completely unexpected.

Alexandra Delgado,

first time out on the ice as a figure skater,

and she's been hit.

Don't move.

Coming off the broken leg

from Celeste Mercier,

- and now this.

- It's nothing.

We have to finish.

What's Zack Conroy feeling right now?

He looks stunned.

It's nothing, honest. Come on.

- Let's take it from the spin.

- Are you sure?

Yes.

And just when you thought

you'd seen it all.

Talk about courage.

Come on.

Come on.

- You okay? You're sure?

- I'm okay. Yeah, I'm fine.

- If you're feeling bad, tell me.

- Yeah, I'm okay. Zack, I'm fine.

What an extraordinary comeback

after a devastating fall.

You have to hand it

to this young new pair.

Unbelievable.

There goes coach Jackie Dorsey,

she can't believe it either.

Okay. Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good. I'm okay.

I'm fine.

That was amazing.

Well, go on, then.

Wave.

We love you!

Well, the crowd doesn't like the

marks.

What? We didn't make it?

Well, we took fourth.

I'm sorry.

I let us down. I got too close, and...

- God, stupid, 'cause I was...

- No. No, no, no.

You were perfect. I lost it.

Top of the world, guys! Top of the world!

Hey, is it true

you two are engaged?

Celeste, is it really

over with Zack,

or are you going to skate with him again

once the cast is off?

One question at a time, please.

And, yes, we are engaged,

which I'm relieved to say

only took two years of begging.

Are you going to skate

with Zack again?

We'll figure that out

when the time comes.

But enough about me.

You should be focusing on

the gold medaI champs over here.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- So, Jason. Jason...

- Just one second.

Hey, Zacko! I was wondering...

My hair's getting a little long.

Can I get a trim? No?

So, Paris! Tell me,

how are you feeling about that?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

You're not gonna believe this,

but third place just popped positive.

- Sid Rotunda's been juicing.

- So?

So that means that they have been

disqualified, which means that you...

You're going to Paris?

Zack? Zack? Zack!

- Zack, we're going to Paris.

- What?

- We're going to Paris!

- What?

We're going to Paris. Some Verducci kid

was juicing or something.

But we're going to Paris!

Oh, my God!

- That's...

- We're going!

- That's amazing.

- I know.

- Need a cold one?

- No.

Listen, I know I've been giving you

a hard time about Alex,

but that's over, man.

You're solid.

And no one blames her

for what happened.

I mean, she's still learning.

Listen, Bobby, that cut was my fault.

I lost my concentration.

That's an unforgivable mistake.

- I could've really hurt her.

- Yeah, but you didn't.

And you were there for her.

I saw how you took care of her.

That's good stuff, man.

Hello? Hello?

Okay.

Thanks for meeting me.

How's it feeI?

A little stiff.

- This is heaven.

- You really missed it.

Sometimes I wish

I never had to skate again.

You think that untiI something happens,

and then...

All you can think about

is getting back on this ice.

I'm sorry you had to find out

about Bryan and me the way you did.

I wanted to tell you before your program,

it's just there was so much

going on, and I didn't know

- if I should do it.

- No, you know...

You never have to explain yourself to me.

Just tell me you're sure about this.

- It bothers you?

- Well, it's not like I don't know the guy.

Zack, you had to know it was gonna

happen with someone sooner or later.

Well, maybe. But, you know, it's not

something I wanted to think about.

But you didn't love me. Not really love me.

How do you know that?

Zack, I have been your partner,

your lover and your friend, but...

I've never been the one.

- Celeste, come on, that's not...

- No, let's not kid ourselves.

Either you never loved me

or you couldn't show it.

But whatever the case,

it doesn't matter anymore.

Hey, come in.

Anton Pamchenko was my mom's coach.

He discovered my father,

turned him into a figure skater,

and he paired him up with my mom.

These are drawings of a move

that he invented

that won my parents the gold medaI.

- It was only done this one time.

Which is a good thing,

because the Pamchenko

is insanely dangerous.

If one partner's so much

as half a beat off, we'll both eat it.

And we're not just talking career-ending,

we're talking possibly life-threatening.

I understand that you have to be

desperate or insane to try this, Zack.

Okay, so then,

why are you showing us this?

You guys nearly pulled off

a miracle in Miami, but you crashed.

Alex, to win in Paris,

you have to be flawless.

And given your time together,

I'm sorry, but it's virtually impossible.

Or you two could do a move

that no one else can do.

And you could steaI the gold.

It's too risky.

Here, give me a minute.

Zack.

Come on, Zack. Talk to me.

You know this is insane.

I know.

But I also know that that's why

you came to me in the first place.

I dare you to tell me otherwise.

Come on, Zack.

You managed to make an amazing skater

out of Alex.

And you're going to Paris.

Why are you so worried

about it being too dangerous?

Oh, so you fell for her.

At least have the guts

to finish what you started.

Okay.

You... Put this on.

I don't wanna explain to your mom

how I brought you home

with your head facing backwards.

More speed, guys. More speed. Come on.

Faster, faster, faster.

Again!

Higher. Higher on the bounce.

You have got to get her up there, Zack!

Okay, get up and do it again.

Again.

Again.

Zack?

Okay if I join you?

You know, it's none of my business,

but there's just so much

I don't know about you.

It's like we're from different planets.

Yeah.

I'm from the one with coaches and agents.
