Like their coach Bryan Hemmings, she insists he takes a temporary partner to go on to the national championship, his ticket to the world championship in Paris. Zach and his temper discard all candidates from the circuit, but after an alteration with an ice hockey amateur team he shares to ice with to train, he sets his mind on their only girl, taco joint daughter-waitress Alejandra 'Alex' Delgado. She's unacceptable to Hemmings, who dumps Zach and starts an affair with Celeste, whom he finds another partner.

You're from the one with people.

You know, there's really a whole lot less

to me than you think.

Uh-huh.

You know,

you're never gonna convince me

that your whole skater-playboy life

is all bad.

And, yeah, you lost a lot as a kid,

and that sucks, but...

We all get a little lonely,

no matter how much company we have.

It's all part of the life deaI.

Look, you don't have to answer, okay?

But what about Celeste?

When she's skating again?

Right now, you and I are partners.

That's all that matters.

Come here.

You know, when we first started out,

I was afraid

you were gonna mess with me.

And now I'm afraid you won't.

Uh-oh!

Oops!

Okay. Awkward moment.

- You want a taco? Yeah? Okay.

- Yeah.

We are live in Paris for the InternationaI

Figure Skating Conference Championship.

ROB.; Bright and Halyard.

What a performance. Very, very strong.

LORl.; Misha back together

with her partner, Rudy.

They're reunited,

and this looks like a Russian revival.

ROB.; It looks like Alexandra Delgado

and Zack Conroy

have picked up where they left off.

No indication that the accident in Miami

has slowed either of them down.

LORl.; I couldn't agree with you more.

They are skating

a beautifuI short program.

You have to admit,

this is one impressive pair.

Yeah!

- How does that feeI?

- It didn't suck.

America's Sweethearts,

everybody.

America's Sweethearts.

Zacko! Zack, Alex,

I just wanted to say congratulations.

Your skate out there today

was really inspiring.

- Thanks, Jason.

- You're welcome.

We just feeI so horrible

about what happened.

- What are you talking about?

- You haven't seen the pictures?

That's priceless. He doesn't know.

He hasn't seen them.

You see, Zack...

This is you, and that... That's not Alex.

Zack, what's going on?

Hold on there, Casanova. There's more.

Here's one where you're hugging her.

Another here where her engagement ring

is nicely featured.

I'm sure Bryan would be really interested

to see these photos, Zack.

Oh, and this one's my personaI favorite.

This is precious.

- You're kissing her here, Zack.

- You son of a b*tch!

Zack! Zack!

Come on, Zack. Let's go.

Now that you're back with

Celeste, how will that impact your...

Alex, hold on! Alex! Alex, wait!

- And what about the romance between...

- Shut the camera off. Shut the camera off!

- Just answer the question.

Alex! Alex!

- What about the romance between you...

- Get out of my face!

Alex.

Zack.

I really shouldn't be telling you this,

but you look so pathetic

sitting here all night.

I know something

maybe you should know.

Yeah.

Hey, Jackie.

So, do you want the good news,

the bad news or the worst?

Between all the shoving

and confusion yesterday,

no one seems sure who started it,

so that's the good.

- How is she?

- I'm getting to that.

Now, if Jason Bright swears

a formaI complaint,

they'll have to disqualify you.

That's the bad.

No one's getting disqualified, Jackie.

Jason will never make it stick.

Will she at least talk to me?

That's the worst. Alex is leaving.

Okay. Go to the arena, make sure

that we are still on the program.

If anyone asks you, we'll be there.

BOBBY.; Don't even try, man. I warned you.

You know what? You're right. I'm a jerk.

I'm not trustworthy.

You never should've let me near her.

All those are true if you take those photos

at face value.

You're an intelligent man, Bobby.

You know that pictures and people

are not always what they seem.

Oh, yeah?

What about the bimbo in this room, huh?

- She saw that?

- Yeah.

That's just great.

I'm going to meet someone.

Give Alex this note,

make sure she reads it, please!

I'll be waiting at the rink.

Hey.

Thanks for meeting me.

It wasn't easy after yesterday.

It was so hard getting away

from the press.

There's something you should hear.

- It's not gonna be pleasant.

- Okay.

There you go.

It's okay. You can tell her.

Zack wants me to tell you

about those photographs.

How I know that they come from Bryan.

He was having you followed.

And... And how do you know this?

He told me.

In bed.

I want you to know

it didn't mean anything.

You know, Bryan and me,

we're old friends.

You know how that is sometimes.

No, I don't.

- I tried.

- Yeah. Thank you.

I'm sorry,

but I thought you should know.

You gonna be okay?

You forget who you're talking to.

I've been practicing landing on my feet

all my life.

So what are you gonna do?

Honestly, I just want Alex to skate.

Not for me, for her. She deserves it.

Well, I should go. Bryan is expecting me.

You know, Zack, you should tell Alex.

Just like you told me.

Taxi! Yeah? Good. Okay.

Well, we've said it before, we say it

again, Bright and Halyard look unbeatable.

Thank you.

You said you'd rather be alone

My whole world turned to stone

But in another world

If you come crashing back to me

Then we will know such love

That was never meant to be

- Bobby, what is this?

- Just talk to him.

No! Take me to the airport!

Alexandra, you're

a very determined person,

and that will help you accomplish

a lot of things.

But to throw away

the greatest opportunity of your life

because you're stubborn? That...

That accomplishes nothing.

You said you'd rather be alone

I read your stupid note,

and I listened to all your messages

about the pictures

and the girI in the hallway.

- Are you satisfied?

- Not really, but it's a start.

When you asked me about Celeste,

I wasn't sure.

Not about my future with her,

but about you.

Don't start that with me.

When I saw you walk

out of my life yesterday,

that hurt worse

than anything I've ever felt.

I don't understand, Zack.

What do you want?

I want you, Alex, in my life.

Hey, you guys are both athletes, right?

Which means you can walk and talk

at the same time. Come on, let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

- Zack Conroy.

- Alexandra Delgado.

Come on. Hurry.

- I got it, I got it.

Hurry, hurry. Let's go.

Come on!

And the competition

is really heating up here

at the InternationaI Figure Skating

Conference Championships in Paris.

And, of course, everyone waiting to see

Zack Conroy and Alexandra Delgado.

They're currently sitting in second place

after the short program.

We did it. We did it. Yes!

You have two minutes

for your skaters to take the ice.

Thank you.

Yeah! We did it!

Oh, look at this.

Big marks for Bright and Halyard.

Yes! Come on.

Sweetheart, you're late, baby.

We nailed it.

I think Celeste Mercier just announced

her disengagement.

- Alexandra Delgado and Zack Conroy...

- Jackie.

...are really going to have to skate

a perfect program,

a flawless program,

if there is going to be...

They're coming, they're coming!

They're just putting on their skates.

They'll be right here.

- They have less than two minutes.

- Yeah.

Alex, wait.

- We're late!

- I don't care about that.

First, I wanna be sure

that you heard what I said outside.

You know that's not fair. It's too much.
