00:00:30Thinkin' about turnin' around and headin' straight back to Denver, Timmy?
00:00:41You drive straight through?
00:00:45You must be Pete.
00:00:46How you doin'?
00:00:47At my age?
00:00:48Peaks and valleys, kid, I won't lie.
00:00:49It's been pretty quiet around here without your uncle givin' me what for.
00:00:50I still can't believe he left me this.
00:01:02Well, he always said some of his best times were the summers you spent here playin' hockey.
00:01:14That's all you brought?
00:01:15Travelin' kinda light, aren't ya?
00:01:18I don't have much, Skip.
00:01:19That's smart.
00:01:20After 30 years in the Navy, anything don't fit into my sea bag, I figure I don't need.
00:01:25Ha!
00:01:26Let me get over to my place.
00:01:27Oh, no, no, no.
00:01:28I'm gonna bunk in the office.
00:01:29Oh, suit yourself.
00:01:30How long you stayin'?
00:01:31Oh, I took a leap of absence for the semester.
00:01:37Figured it'd give me enough time to figure out what's what here.
00:01:42Pressure's on to bring in the wrecking ball.
00:01:47What's this?
00:01:48Back, kiddo.
00:01:49Uh, Tony?
00:01:50I need to pick up some extra shifts.
00:01:51As do you and everyone else.
00:01:52I've got to go.
00:01:53I've got to go.
00:01:54I've got to go.
00:01:55I've got to go.
00:01:56I've got to go.
00:01:57I've got to go.
00:01:58I've got to go.
00:01:59I've got to go.
00:02:00I've got to go.
00:02:01I've got to go.
00:02:02I've got to go.
00:02:03I've got to go.
00:02:04I've got to go.
00:02:05I've got to go.
00:02:06I've got to go.
00:02:07I've got to go.
00:02:08I've got to go.
00:02:09I've got to go.
00:02:10I've got to go.
00:02:11I've got to go.
00:02:12I've got to go.
00:02:13I've got to go.
00:02:14I've got to go.
00:02:15I need to pick up some extra shifts.
00:02:16As do you and everyone else.
00:02:18Is everyone else being evicted?
00:02:21I can work launches, split shifts, whatever you've got.
00:02:25What happened to the day job?
00:02:28I got laid off.
00:02:29I'll see what I can do.
00:02:32Thanks.
00:02:33My landlady and I appreciate it.
00:02:35Okay.
00:02:36I'll never make it. You'll have to tell me.
00:03:06I'll never make it.
00:03:36I'll never make it.
00:04:06I'll never make it.
00:04:36What are you doing here?
00:04:56Do you know what time it is?
00:04:57I always skate this late.
00:04:59I worked it out with Walter and Skipper.
00:05:01Well, Skipper didn't tell me.
00:05:03Well, don't worry. I'm leaving.
00:05:05Well, I think that's a good idea.
00:05:07Until I talk to him.
00:05:11Do you have a name?
00:05:13Yeah, do you?
00:05:34Hey.
00:05:37There's a woman here late last night.
00:05:39She was skating. Alone, you know, but like a professional.
00:05:44That'd be Amy. She works at a restaurant downtown.
00:05:47Well, I was about ready to knock her head off with a hockey stick.
00:05:50I hope you didn't.
00:05:52That's not the kind of first impression that would bring in much business.
00:05:57She said she had a, uh, an arrangement with Walter.
00:06:01They were friends.
00:06:05Well, that would have been really good to know, Skipper.
00:06:07Well, now you do.
00:06:17She's got a key?
00:06:19It'd be hard to get in without one.
00:06:21Does she pay for the ice?
00:06:22What she can.
00:06:25When she can.
00:06:27That explains a lot of things. I was just wondering.
00:06:29What things?
00:06:30What things? Um, just, you know, minor, minor things.
00:06:33Like, you know, maybe why this place never makes any money, ever.
00:06:37We always squeaked by.
00:06:39No, actually, you didn't.
00:06:41If Walter wanted to put his Social Security and his Navy pension into this place every single month,
00:06:46it would have, it would have gone belly up years ago, Skip.
00:06:49Are you saying Walter was paying me with his own dough?
00:06:55He should have told me.
00:07:01Welcome to the Ventura Club Classic Figure Skating Competition.
00:07:06Please give a warm welcome to our first competitor, Karen Brown.
00:07:36Oh, we'll lick his back.
00:07:49Please welcome our next competitor, the Intermediate Ladies Free Skate,
00:07:53representing the Mid-City Figure Skating Club, Nicole Lassen.
00:08:00Yay!
00:08:23Yay!
00:08:46Woo!
00:08:57Got it, girl!
00:08:59Woo!
00:09:04Now, you still have to get that algebra homework done.
00:09:06I'm not going to let you get away with this.
00:09:08Excuse me.
00:09:10Hi.
00:09:12You're Randy Gardner.
00:09:15You won the World Championships.
00:09:18Hi.
00:09:19I know you didn't win today, but I just wanted to let you know that I think you have more natural talent
00:09:24than any girl out there on the ice.
00:09:27Really?
00:09:28Who's your coach?
00:09:29We're kind of between coaches right now.
00:09:31Well, get one.
00:09:32We want to see you at regionals.
00:09:34Thank you so much, Mr. Gardner.
00:09:36Okay, good luck.
00:09:37Awesome.
00:09:41Did you hear that?
00:09:42My dad believes in you as much as I do.
00:09:44But we can't afford a coach.
00:09:46We'll figure something out.
00:09:47Okay, but what about Dad?
00:09:49He would help out.
00:09:52I'm going to call him as soon as I get home.
00:09:53You know what?
00:09:54Let me talk to him.
00:09:57Human Resources.
00:09:58Hi.
00:09:59I'm calling about the receptionist position you have listed.
00:10:02Right.
00:10:03That job's already been filled.
00:10:04It's been filled?
00:10:05Mm-hmm.
00:10:06Well, do you have anything else?
00:10:07Not at this time, we don't.
00:10:08Sorry.
00:10:09Okay.
00:10:10Thanks.
00:10:11Amy, I know you're home.
00:10:25I saw your car outside.
00:10:27Hello, Mother.
00:10:29Hello.
00:10:33Well, this is a surprise.
00:10:37If you'd returned my phone calls,
00:10:38I wouldn't have to drive all the way downtown
00:10:40to see if you're still alive.
00:10:43I'm sorry.
00:10:44I've just been really busy.
00:10:46Busy is good.
00:10:48Doing what?
00:10:49Looking for a new job.
00:10:50Oh, Amy.
00:10:51What happened this time?
00:10:53The economy.
00:10:56Do you want some coffee?
00:10:58Black.
00:10:59No milk.
00:11:01I thought this was the job.
00:11:05The one you could make a career out of.
00:11:07I was in retail.
00:11:12Let's face it, Mother.
00:11:15After all the money you spent on private tutors,
00:11:17I'm hopelessly unskilled.
00:11:20You were a world-class figure skater.
00:11:23It was your dream.
00:11:26Do not go there, Mother.
00:11:30Are all these bills?
00:11:33I'm a little behind.
00:11:35It's fine.
00:11:36Let me help.
00:11:37No.
00:11:38Please, I want to.
00:11:39No.
00:11:40I can take care of myself.
00:11:42Your father named you as the beneficiary
00:11:44into a large sum of money.
00:11:47That's what he wanted.
00:11:49That's what he wanted.
00:11:52Your father ran that light, Amy.
00:11:54Not you.
00:11:55But it was for me.
00:11:57God forbid I miss one second of practice
00:11:59in my precious ice time.
00:12:21Amy Clayton.
00:12:51Shit.
00:13:22That was awesome!
00:13:43Good work!
00:13:44Whoa, no, I didn't mean to startle you!
00:13:47I'm sorry.
00:13:48Wait!
00:13:49I thought that was sick, that was...
00:13:56I'm okay, I'm good.
00:14:11Are you alright?
00:14:12Yeah, nothing but a bruised ego.
00:14:20I'm Tim King, I'm Walter's nephew.
00:14:24The new owner.
00:14:26And you're Amy Clayton.
00:14:29Yeah.
00:14:31Are you skating professionally?
00:14:33No.
00:14:35Wow, you could have fooled me.
00:14:36I don't skate publicly anymore.
00:14:40Too bad, it's our loss.
00:14:44Look, I didn't mean to disturb you, I mean, where are you going?
00:14:50What's this?
00:14:51The key. I lost my job and I can't...
00:14:54Forget it.
00:14:56You pay what you can when you can. I mean, that was the deal, right?
00:15:04Thank you for letting me skate, Tim.
00:15:08Anytime.
00:15:19Well, how much are the lessons if they're a half hour instead of an hour?
00:15:24Oh, I'm sorry, I just can't afford that much.
00:15:27No, I mean, I understand.
00:15:29Okay, well, thank you.
00:15:32Bye-bye.
00:15:34Coach hunting, huh?
00:15:37They all want so much money.
00:15:39I don't want to let Nikki down.
00:15:41Do you know anyone?
00:15:45Did you know about this?
00:15:47That's our Amy.
00:15:49You know her?
00:15:50Yeah, she skates here.
00:15:52Really?
00:15:55Does she coach?
00:16:01No, absolutely not. I'm not a coach.
00:16:05I've seen you skate, you can do this.
00:16:07It isn't the same thing.
00:16:10I realize most parents say this, Miss Clayton, but Nikki really does have talent.
00:16:15Well, then she deserves a real coach.
00:16:18I'm sorry you wasted your time.
00:16:34I'll be right back.
00:16:40Okay.
00:16:46Look, I'm sorry if we ganged up on you.
00:16:48We didn't mean to.
00:16:49How dare you?
00:16:50Whoa, settle down.
00:16:52I just thought you could use the money.
00:16:54Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I can't help you.
00:16:58I told you before, I don't skate publicly anymore.
00:17:01So please just leave me alone.
00:17:09I'm sorry.
00:17:39I'm sorry.
00:18:09I'm sorry.
00:18:39I'm sorry.
00:19:09I'm sorry.
00:19:19Nikki, wait.
00:19:25Tomorrow morning, 5.30, on the ice.
00:19:39Okay.
00:19:55You warmed up?
00:20:04Were you watching me?
00:20:05I wanted to see how you'd handle it if you thought I was late.
00:20:08How'd I do?
00:20:09Impatience is a weakness.
00:20:11It challenges your focus and takes you out of the moment.
00:20:15Okay.
00:20:16Show me what you got.
00:20:39I thought she turned him down.
00:20:42She did.
00:20:57What was that?
00:21:00I don't know.
00:21:01I don't know.
00:21:02I don't know.
00:21:03I don't know.
00:21:04I don't know.
00:21:05I don't know.
00:21:06I don't know.
00:21:08I've landed him before.
00:21:09You have no business trying to land a triple.
00:21:12I'm still working on it.
00:21:13You don't even have good technique on your double.
00:21:17Again, show me your double toe.
00:21:19Why don't you show me?
00:21:38You're not competing against me, Nicky.
00:21:40If I'm going to coach you, you're going to do what I say, when I say it, without question.
00:21:44Okay?
00:21:51Mr. King.
00:21:52I know it's early, but the old guy out front said it was all right to come up.
00:21:58I take it you're not here to skate?
00:22:00Pardon?
00:22:01I'm not here to skate.
00:22:02I'm not here to skate.
00:22:04I take it you're not here to skate?
00:22:06Pardon?
00:22:07Name's Nolan.
00:22:09Nolan.
00:22:10Is that a last name or a first name?
00:22:13Last.
00:22:14Makes me easy to remember.
00:22:17Maybe I should try it.
00:22:18King.
00:22:19Huh?
00:22:20What do you think?
00:22:21I think that's the perfect name for a rich man.
00:22:25Maybe I better stick to plain old Tim.
00:22:28And maybe my offer will change your mind.
00:22:35Make sure you ice that knee.
00:22:38I know.
00:22:39Rice.
00:22:40Lost ice.
00:22:41Compression.
00:22:42Elevation.
00:22:47Listen to me for a second.
00:22:49Competitive figure skating is one of the most challenging sports there is.
00:22:53Physically, emotionally, and mentally.
00:22:56If you want to win, you're going to have to work harder, longer, and more intensely than anybody else.
00:23:01What are you trying to say?
00:23:03It's going to get tougher.
00:23:05Well, all I've ever wanted is to compete.
00:23:09So, bring it on.
00:23:18Nikki.
00:23:20How old are you?
00:23:21Seventeen.
00:23:22When did you start skating?
00:23:24Since I was five.
00:23:26Why did you stop training?
00:23:30My parents got divorced.
00:23:33We had to move away from my club.
00:23:35And we couldn't afford my coach anymore.
00:23:37That must have been hard.
00:23:41Do you still get to see your dad?
00:23:45Not really.
00:23:48He's really busy with his job.
00:23:51And he has a new girlfriend.
00:23:54I bet you miss him.
00:23:55We talk on the phone.
00:23:57Every now and then.
00:24:00I know how it feels to lose someone.
00:24:04Yeah.
00:24:06I have to go if I'm going to make the bus.
00:24:08I'll see you tomorrow.
00:24:13All these property taxes.
00:24:15Wow.
00:24:32That's a lot of money for a piece of dirt.
00:24:36Timmy.
00:24:37Walter left you the rink if you wanted it.
00:24:41Left you the real estate if you didn't.
00:24:44You were the closest thing he had to his son.
00:24:46He just wanted you to be happy.
00:25:02Amy.
00:25:03It's your mother.
00:25:04I'm standing outside your door.
00:25:08I don't know if you're at home or not.
00:25:10I'm leaving you a little money.
00:25:12Please take it.
00:25:17I love you, honey.
00:25:42I love you, too.
00:26:12I love you.
00:26:23I'm sorry.
00:26:24I didn't see you there.
00:26:25I didn't mean to scare you.
00:26:28Jeez.
00:26:30I wasn't expecting to see you either.
00:26:39Lisa.
00:26:40What?
00:26:41You know why we came here?
00:26:42To skate?
00:26:44Come on.
00:26:45There's enough room for both of us.
00:27:11Do you still play?
00:27:13I washed out in college.
00:27:14You miss it?
00:27:16The headbanging or the fighting?
00:27:18The game.
00:27:20That is the game.
00:27:24What about you?
00:27:25I never played hockey.
00:27:27That's funny.
00:27:41Come on.
00:27:42Come on.
00:28:09Why did you take on Nicky?
00:28:11I needed the money.
00:28:13I'm not buying that.
00:28:14I'm not selling it.
00:28:21Have you ever heard the definition for insanity?
00:28:24Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?
00:28:28Are you saying that you're insane?
00:28:29I'm saying it was time for a change.
00:28:34Isn't that why you're here?
00:28:37Oh, I don't know yet.
00:28:39I just arrived.
00:28:42Okay.
00:29:07What's the date for?
00:29:09Every year Walter would take me to get a new stick and he'd date it.
00:29:14And then the next year he'd measure the old one against the new one just to see how much I'd grown.
00:29:21So where's 86?
00:29:23That's the year I stopped coming.
00:29:26Why'd you stop?
00:29:29I don't know.
00:29:30I turned 15 and I guess it just wasn't cool anymore.
00:29:34Let me try.
00:29:36No, this sticks way too long for you.
00:29:39Maybe I can handle it.
00:29:41Yeah, I doubt it.
00:29:54I love this place.
00:29:56Why?
00:29:57It's unpretentious.
00:29:59It doesn't try to be.
00:30:00It's unpretentious.
00:30:02It doesn't try to be anything more than what it is.
00:30:06A run down drafty old barn is what it is.
00:30:09No.
00:30:10Quiet, dignified old lady.
00:30:13Just sitting here waiting to make people feel good.
00:30:31Are you gonna sell it?
00:30:33I don't want to.
00:30:35Then don't.
00:30:43Whoa, whoa, watch out for the...
00:31:00Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:31:30Whoa, whoa.
00:32:01Testing my patience again?
00:32:03No, my car is testing mine.
00:32:07I worked out a training schedule.
00:32:11Running?
00:32:12Starting tomorrow morning.
00:32:13We need to improve your endurance.
00:32:15Suicide drills, focus and stamina.
00:32:30How many pairs of kids hockey skates do we have?
00:32:32Maybe 40 or so.
00:32:34Okay, what about gloves, pads, helmets?
00:32:36I can dig up a few.
00:32:37Great, buy everything on that list.
00:32:40How are we gonna pay for all this?
00:32:42Plastic.
00:32:43You know, Timmy, I could probably be a little more helpful if I knew what you had in mind.
00:32:50What would you think if we started a couple of neighborhood hockey teams?
00:32:53Kids around here aren't gonna have any money for coaching or ice time.
00:32:57I'd coach.
00:32:58You'd coach?
00:32:59Yeah, we'd supply the skates, the equipment, the ice.
00:33:03Yeah, well, that won't bring in any money.
00:33:05No, but it'll bring in bodies.
00:33:06Hopefully the money will follow.
00:33:09What, you wanna do the hockey thing?
00:33:11Yes.
00:33:12Well, copy it.
00:33:13I wanna see you in skates.
00:33:14Try me.
00:33:20Again.
00:33:23Again.
00:33:26Take it straight through.
00:33:27Keep that skating leg bent.
00:33:30Again.
00:33:32Step it up higher, make it bigger.
00:33:45Yeah, sure.
00:33:46Thanks.
00:33:52You gotta get it up a little more to the left.
00:33:54Pull it up a little.
00:33:55To the left?
00:33:56Yeah, well, when you get it up there, it's gonna be way over to the left.
00:34:00You want me to come up and do it myself?
00:34:02Are you gonna eat all my pizza?
00:34:04Delicious.
00:34:26Yeah.
00:34:57Take it easy.
00:35:01Cool, let's go.
00:35:04Yes, sir.
00:35:05All right.
00:35:06Good work.
00:35:08All right, we're gonna do something called crossovers.
00:35:11Okay, do you know what a crossover is?
00:35:13No, coach.
00:35:14No?
00:35:15Okay, I'm gonna show you, all right?
00:35:17We're gonna go right leg over left.
00:35:19Okay?
00:35:20Just watch me, let me show you how it's done.
00:35:27Wow.
00:35:33All right, dudes, huh?
00:35:34Easy.
00:35:35See how easy that was?
00:35:36Yeah?
00:35:37All right, you wanna give it a go?
00:35:39All right, go.
00:35:40Give it a try.
00:35:43Good job, looking good.
00:35:45Whoa, watch the stick.
00:35:47All right.
00:35:49Good work.
00:35:51Whoa, okay, you fell.
00:35:53Ball is part of the game, that's good.
00:35:56Looking good.
00:36:00Do it again.
00:36:03You could have done it a hundred times.
00:36:05Total element points are half your score.
00:36:08If you fall, that's a five-tenth deduction.
00:36:11I want you to get a plus three on your grade of execution.
00:36:17So?
00:36:19So I should do it again.
00:36:21Right.
00:36:27Okay.
00:36:38Do those skates fit?
00:36:41They're a little small.
00:36:56Okay.
00:37:27Okay.
00:37:33What's that?
00:37:34I don't know.
00:37:35Why don't you open it up and find out?
00:37:48I noticed we wear the same boot size.
00:37:57You deserve it.
00:38:01Okay, out of the double axel combo, into the layback.
00:38:04Come around, backwards crossover, setting up for the double lutz.
00:38:08Turn and into the death drop to finish.
00:38:11Got it?
00:38:20We're gonna play it a little cheap away.
00:38:23Okay?
00:38:26Ready?
00:38:54I haven't seen your mother much lately.
00:38:55How's she doing?
00:38:57Oh, she's been working a lot of overtime.
00:39:00Hasn't been around much.
00:39:04Well, I've got a double shift today, so we'll pick this up in the morning, okay?
00:39:08I can't.
00:39:10It's Sunday. I have church.
00:39:14You're right.
00:39:17Get some rest.
00:39:18I'll see you Monday.
00:39:25Okay.
00:39:56Oh, sorry. Sorry.
00:40:00Sorry. I didn't see you there.
00:40:02I didn't mean to...
00:40:03I'm alright.
00:40:04Are you okay?
00:40:05I'm good. I'm okay.
00:40:06Are you sure?
00:40:07Yeah.
00:40:08Alright.
00:40:09Is Skipper here?
00:40:12No.
00:40:13He ran to the hardware store.
00:40:18Is there something I can do for you?
00:40:21Is there something I can do for you?
00:40:36I can't thank you enough for the ride.
00:40:38I just can't afford to lose another job.
00:40:44Is the food any good?
00:40:47Define good.
00:40:50Well, I guess I'm just going to have to come in one of these days and find out.
00:40:56Oh, why don't you give me your car keys? I'll see if I can get it started.
00:41:00Oh, no. You've done enough already. It's fine.
00:41:02I don't mind.
00:41:05Really.
00:41:07Okay.
00:41:15Can I at least pay for gas?
00:41:18You really want to pay me back?
00:41:20Yeah. I'd feel much better about this.
00:41:25Skate with me again.
00:41:34Thanks again.
00:41:35Bye.
00:41:51It started raining.
00:41:54Oh, perfect.
00:41:56I'm walking.
00:41:58Some guy came here and left these.
00:42:01Said it was a bad battery case.
00:42:05What?
00:42:20What?
00:42:37Can I help you?
00:42:39I was hoping my daughter Amy was here.
00:42:41Oh, she's probably at the ice rink.
00:42:43The what?
00:42:51Hi.
00:42:53I'm sorry. We don't open the rink until 10 o'clock on Sundays.
00:42:56I'm looking for my daughter.
00:42:59Amy Clayton?
00:43:04She's on the ice.
00:43:10I'm sorry.
00:43:12I'm looking for my daughter.
00:43:15Amy Clayton?
00:43:16Amy Clayton?
00:43:46Amy?
00:44:04My mother?
00:44:14Why didn't you tell me?
00:44:16Because I knew you'd react like this.
00:44:18Well, can you blame me?
00:44:20I just saw my Amy out on the ice again, doing what she was born to do.
00:44:25No, Mother.
00:44:26It's still the same me.
00:44:28But it doesn't have to be.
00:44:31I remember that routine you were doing.
00:44:33Wasn't it part of...
00:44:34My Olympic program, yes.
00:44:36I'm working on it for my student.
00:44:38You're coaching?
00:44:40Amy, that's wonderful.
00:44:43I just don't understand why you haven't told me any of this.
00:44:46I'm sorry.
00:44:47It's just that...
00:44:49I don't want you to get the wrong idea about this.
00:44:52And what would that be?
00:44:54That I might have been right about something?
00:44:57That's it.
00:44:58That's the one.
00:45:00What are you so afraid of?
00:45:04That you actually might have to show up for your life?
00:45:07Do something with your talent?
00:45:09Do something with your talent?
00:45:24Hi, I'm Amy.
00:45:25Can I get you something to drink before you order?
00:45:32No, but I love the middle school kids.
00:45:34There's still a lot of fun before they turn into teenagers.
00:45:39And I love teaching.
00:45:41I just never saw myself putting on a dress shirt every morning with a pin protector.
00:45:46And now I'm just sort of stuck there.
00:45:48What do you see yourself doing?
00:45:51I'm not sure.
00:45:53But hopefully I'll know when I see it.
00:45:55It's not the rink?
00:45:57Maybe.
00:45:59I'm actually excited about getting out of bed every morning.
00:46:02I just hope I can turn it around before the bank gives up on us.
00:46:05Closing the rink is not an option.
00:46:07Thanks.
00:46:09No pressure.
00:46:10Nikki would kill you.
00:46:14How's she doing?
00:46:16She's working pretty hard.
00:46:18Does she have a shot?
00:46:19If she wants it badly enough.
00:46:24Why did you stop competing?
00:46:29It's okay.
00:46:30You know what?
00:46:31That's none of my business.
00:46:32I'm sorry.
00:46:33I shouldn't have asked that.
00:46:34It just didn't work out for me.
00:46:38Okay.
00:46:39You made the United States Olympic team.
00:46:41I'd say things worked out pretty good for you.
00:46:48My father died in an accident just before the Games.
00:46:56I was in the car.
00:47:00I didn't know.
00:47:01I'm sorry.
00:47:02After that I...
00:47:04I just couldn't skate anymore.
00:47:12I'm sorry.
00:47:21I better help Tony close up.
00:47:26Will you go out again with me sometime?
00:47:29Will you go out again with me sometime?
00:47:32We didn't go out.
00:47:34You came in.
00:47:35I'm pretty sure this qualifies as a date.
00:47:39We had dinner together.
00:47:41This definitely was not a date.
00:47:47I guess we're just gonna have to go out on one sometime.
00:47:59I'm sorry.
00:48:16I'm sorry about that, Tony.
00:48:17It's okay.
00:48:19It's okay.
00:48:20That's pretty good.
00:48:21Thanks.
00:48:22Where'd you learn how to draw?
00:48:24I dated an art teacher for a while.
00:48:26She taught me a few things.
00:48:27Too bad you didn't date a banker.
00:48:29Yeah, right.
00:48:32Hey.
00:48:33Hey.
00:48:37That kinda looks like Amy.
00:48:40No, it doesn't.
00:48:42Okay.
00:48:44The kid's right.
00:48:45No, she's not.
00:48:47He does not.
00:48:48It's you, I swear.
00:48:58I forgot something in my car.
00:49:19So, uh, what do you think?
00:49:22Uh, it's...
00:49:24Yeah, the hockey player is very...
00:49:28lifelike.
00:49:41Don't do it, Nikki.
00:49:44Don't do it.
00:49:53Come on.
00:50:01Keep it up, Nikki, and you're gonna be watching the competition on television in traction.
00:50:06It's that third rotation.
00:50:08I need more speed.
00:50:10You're not ready.
00:50:12I have to be ready.
00:50:13I have to do the triple.
00:50:15It's the only way I can beat Karen.
00:50:17Whoa.
00:50:18Who's Karen?
00:50:20Karen Brown.
00:50:22She wins everything.
00:50:24If I'm gonna advance to nationals, I have to beat her.
00:50:28Okay.
00:50:29The best way to lose is to add a move you're not solid with.
00:50:33Your program is locked.
00:50:35You understand?
00:50:37Amy, I want to win.
00:50:40And if you want to coach yourself, then just let me know, and I'm gone.
00:50:50Okay.
00:50:52Good luck.
00:51:03Seriously, I got it.
00:51:05No big deal.
00:51:12It's just a block!
00:51:20Come on.
00:51:44Are you okay?
00:51:46What happened between you and Amy?
00:51:49We got in a fight.
00:52:16How was it?
00:52:17Very good.
00:52:20I screwed up.
00:52:23I'm sorry.
00:52:29Hi, coach.
00:52:31If I ask you a question, will you give me an honest answer?
00:52:35Try me.
00:52:38I know you decided to coach me just for the money.
00:52:42How do you feel about it now?
00:52:45Very proud.
00:52:48Me too.
00:53:02Stop.
00:53:03He's kind of hot, don't you think?
00:53:05Yeah, I noticed.
00:53:07And he probably has a girlfriend, all the cute boys do.
00:53:10Well, how will you know unless you go and talk to him?
00:53:13Maybe I should say the same thing about you.
00:53:17Tim.
00:53:20Why don't you just give the guy a chance?
00:53:22I don't even know if he likes me.
00:53:24He painted your face on a building.
00:53:26It is me, isn't it?
00:53:30Yeah.
00:53:38It's open.
00:53:43Hi.
00:53:53I'm just warning you, I'm not much of a dancer on or off the ice.
00:54:07Do you know you always apologize for not being good enough at something?
00:54:12I do?
00:54:13Hockey, teaching, dancing.
00:54:38You're a great dancer.
00:54:41You're a great liar.
00:54:44You painted my face on the side of a building.
00:54:50Yeah, I did, didn't I?
00:54:52Yes, you did.
00:55:08Hi, is my dad there? It's Nikki.
00:55:12Hi, Dad.
00:55:15I just wanted to make sure you knew what time the regionals are on Saturday.
00:55:21Oh.
00:55:23I thought you knew I was still skating.
00:55:27Yeah, I'm competing.
00:55:29Again.
00:55:33No, it's okay.
00:55:35No, it's okay.
00:55:37I understand.
00:55:40Sure.
00:55:42I have to go, though. Bye.
00:56:04Bye.
00:56:22Amy called.
00:56:27Hey.
00:56:28Amy called. She said you missed two practices today.
00:56:32So?
00:56:37Okay.
00:56:42Okay?
00:56:44You want to talk about it?
00:56:46Well, I talked to Dad.
00:56:49He didn't know anything about my training or my competition, Mom.
00:56:54You lied.
00:56:55No, I never said I spoke with him.
00:56:57I just let you go on believing something that was making you happy.
00:57:01Were you ever going to tell me?
00:57:03I was going to tell you afterwards.
00:57:08Nikki, I am so sorry.
00:57:14It's okay. It's not your fault he doesn't love me.
00:57:18Baby, listen to me.
00:57:20Your father left the marriage.
00:57:23Not you.
00:57:25The truth is, he never figured out how to be a good parent.
00:57:30But that doesn't mean he doesn't love you.
00:57:36You just feel so stupid, Mom.
00:57:39I know.
00:57:41I know.
00:57:43I know.
00:57:45You just feel so stupid, Mom.
00:57:47Why? Because you love your dad and you want him to be proud of you?
00:58:00Mom, I love you so much.
00:58:02And I love you too, baby.
00:58:09All right.
00:58:14All right.
00:58:30Nice. Nice work.
00:58:33Shoulders back.
00:58:45I love you.
00:58:53I've let everybody down.
00:58:57You've done the best you could, Timmy.
00:59:01No one can say any different.
00:59:06Yeah, it just wasn't good enough.
00:59:11Call him.
00:59:13It's a lot of money, and Walt would have wanted you to have it.
00:59:27It's open.
00:59:33Thanks for coming by.
00:59:37I take it that new property tax evaluation was quite a shock.
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:45Look, it's not just you. It's the entire neighborhood.
00:59:49You're sitting on valuable real estate.
00:59:52It's the buildings that are worthless.
00:59:58Right.
00:59:59Have a seat.
01:00:04Sentimentality can't stop progress, Mr. King.
01:00:09Let's just get this over with.
01:00:12Just start signing what the tabs are located.
01:00:27Uh, something wrong?
01:00:30I just want to read it over first.
01:00:32No problem.
01:00:34I'll leave it with you and come and pick it up when you're ready.
01:00:42Thanks.
01:00:48You're about to be a very wealthy man, Mr. King.
01:00:51How does it feel?
01:00:53Out of character.
01:00:56You'll get used to it. How soon would you like to close?
01:01:01As soon as possible.
01:01:03I'll be expecting your call.
01:01:07Yeah.
01:01:12Thanks.
01:01:42Thanks.
01:03:25Hey.
01:03:27Welcome back.
01:03:31You smacked your head pretty good.
01:03:33You have a slight concussion and a few stitches.
01:03:38The doctor said they should come out in about a week.
01:03:41Would that be before or after you leave for Denver?
01:03:47Amy, honey.
01:03:50What happened?
01:03:51How did you know I was here?
01:03:53I just kept calling your cell phone and finally this nice young man answered.
01:03:58It fell out of your coat. It kept ringing. I thought it might be important.
01:04:03Well, thank God he answered. You shouldn't be alone.
01:04:08I'm fine.
01:04:09I'm fine.
01:04:10Alone.
01:04:13Well, I guess I'll be going.
01:04:15Bye.
01:04:38Just stay right there. Just for a second.
01:04:40I'm okay. I'm okay.
01:04:43You don't need to help me anymore. It's okay.
01:04:45Would you like some tea?
01:04:47No.
01:04:49You've done enough. It's alright.
01:04:51I'll just make some for myself then.
01:04:53Okay.
01:04:54Have a seat.
01:05:08Do you have any rubber gloves?
01:05:10What are you doing?
01:05:12The dishes.
01:05:14What?
01:05:15I thought you were making tea.
01:05:17I don't want to look at them.
01:05:18Well, then you don't have to.
01:05:20Those are my dirty dishes and this is my apartment.
01:05:24Don't be ridiculous.
01:05:25I don't want you to touch them, Mother. Just stop it!
01:05:29What?
01:05:34I'm sorry.
01:05:35I'm sorry.
01:05:39I just... I really think I need to be alone right now.
01:05:47Fine.
01:05:49I'm sorry.
01:05:51Whatever you need.
01:06:06I love that run-down old rink.
01:06:11And I think I could have loved him.
01:06:16But you were right about going for it and giving back what I've been given.
01:06:25I just need you to stay close, Dad.
01:06:29Watch over Nikki.
01:06:30Don't let her heart get broken.
01:06:46Maybe we should have measured the old one first to see how much you've grown.
01:06:54I owe you an apology.
01:06:56I had no business judging you, especially after all you've done for me.
01:07:04I was a jerk at the hospital and I'm sorry.
01:07:10I don't blame you for being upset.
01:07:16You helped me find my way back.
01:07:21I'm sorry.
01:07:26You helped me find a new life.
01:07:34I wish things had worked out differently.
01:07:38Me too.
01:07:56Keys, keys.
01:07:58Of all the days to lose my keys.
01:08:08We have to talk.
01:08:11I can't do this now, Mother. It's really a bad time.
01:08:14It's always a bad time.
01:08:16I can't live like this anymore.
01:08:19I agree.
01:08:20You do?
01:08:21Yes.
01:08:22But I can't talk about this right now. I have to go.
01:08:27No, you're not running away again.
01:08:30When your father died, I didn't just lose my husband.
01:08:34I lost my daughter too.
01:08:37I've run out of ways to say I'm sorry.
01:08:40Sorry for your loss.
01:08:42Sorry for your pain.
01:08:44Sorry for not fixing any of it.
01:08:47I never wanted you to fix me.
01:08:50That's what you wanted.
01:08:53I don't blame you for anything.
01:08:57No one could help me, Mother.
01:09:01I had to help myself.
01:09:08So, if you'll excuse me.
01:09:10I'm sorry, but I've got to get you ready.
01:09:12So, if you'll excuse me.
01:09:14I'm sorry, but I've got to get to Regionals.
01:09:17My girl is skating today, and I'm already so late.
01:09:21Don't you think we should get going, then?
01:09:23You want to go?
01:09:25Of course I do.
01:09:26I'll take my car.
01:09:28What's wrong with my car?
01:09:30It's not a car, dear. It's a casualty.
01:09:33Come on.
01:09:34Hello, everyone, and welcome. I'm Rick Newman.
01:09:36And I'm Barbie Best.
01:09:37And, folks, we're about to see the best skaters the western region of the United States has to offer.
01:09:42Now, successful competitors here will then go on to the U.S. Junior National Championships.
01:09:48So, sit back and enjoy what should be a fantastic competition today.
01:09:55Hi, it's Amy. I know what to do.
01:10:00Hey, she's not inside.
01:10:02She's not answering her cell phone, either.
01:10:04Don't worry, honey. She'll be here.
01:10:06What am I going to do?
01:10:07Exactly as Amy taught you.
01:10:10Okay.
01:10:11Okay?
01:10:12I have to go.
01:10:13Good luck.
01:10:16Okay, it's in your hands now.
01:10:27Hey.
01:10:28Hi.
01:10:33Karen?
01:10:36Hi, I'm Nikki. We competed together a couple months ago.
01:10:39I remember. I won.
01:10:42Well, I just want to wish you luck today.
01:10:56You know what I always say about Karen?
01:10:59I'm so glad I'm not her.
01:11:07Well, I'm so glad we competed.
01:11:09It's so much more than 2020.
01:11:12I love you.
01:11:13I love you, too.
01:11:15You're very sweet.
01:11:16Thanks.
01:11:40Good job.
01:11:42Good work.
01:11:43Come on.
01:11:44Let's go home.
01:11:46Let's go.
01:11:55That was a most technically solid performance so far.
01:11:58She is going to be tough to beat.
01:12:05Debra, please forgive me.
01:12:07It's okay.
01:12:08This is my mom.
01:12:09Hi, Mom.
01:12:10This is Debra and Nikki's mom.
01:12:11Nice to meet you.
01:12:12Okay.
01:12:13Wish us luck.
01:12:14Good luck, honey.
01:12:15Good luck.
01:12:16Let's go.
01:12:17Okay.
01:12:21And here's Kara Brown's score, 54-52.
01:12:25Folks, I think that's going to be the score to beat today.
01:12:46Oh, no.
01:12:54Nikki, I'm so sorry.
01:12:56Everything's okay now.
01:13:00Karen didn't make one single mistake, though.
01:13:03Okay.
01:13:04This isn't about Karen.
01:13:05It's about you.
01:13:07You just do your best and nothing else will matter.
01:13:10One minute, please.
01:13:13Now, forget about Karen.
01:13:15Forget about me.
01:13:17Forget your mom, your father.
01:13:19Forget everything.
01:13:22Good.
01:13:24Let go.
01:13:26Now, just go out there and skate for yourself.
01:13:30Skate for the sheer joy of it and just have fun, honey.
01:13:37You can do it.
01:13:38Okay.
01:13:43Okay.
01:13:56And here she is, the final skater for the day, Nicole Lastin,
01:14:00and she's a new face to the competition this year.
01:14:03You know, Ricky, it is always exciting to see a newcomer perform.
01:14:07And you never know what to expect.
01:14:09I'll tell you what to expect, knuckleheads.
01:14:11Expect her to win.
01:14:12Let's go.
01:14:36I have to say, she's looking really good so far.
01:14:39She is off to a great start.
01:14:41I really like her presentation.
01:14:45That's right, Ricky.
01:14:46That's right.
01:14:52Slow down.
01:14:59That right there was amazing.
01:15:01Amazing.
01:15:02A perfect triple toe loop.
01:15:04Absolute perfection.
01:15:06And the thing is, her routine only called for a double lutz.
01:15:10But you know, Rick, she knew she needed something special,
01:15:13and so she threw in the triple toe loop.
01:15:16Unbelievable.
01:15:17Come on.
01:15:18Come on.
01:15:41Oh!
01:15:48Yes!
01:15:49That's my girl!
01:15:59That was awesome!
01:16:01Good.
01:16:02You are so amazing.
01:16:03I'm so proud of you.
01:16:05That was so good.
01:16:06I can't believe it.
01:16:07You did it.
01:16:10Okay, let's sit down and wait for the scores.
01:16:12Okay.
01:16:13Okay.
01:16:21And here's the last score of the day.
01:16:23Nicole Laston, my goodness, 53.81.
01:16:27Oh, my gosh!
01:16:28Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen.
01:16:34You did it!
01:16:35We did it!
01:16:36We did it!
01:16:37We did it!
01:16:40We did it!
01:16:41We did it!
01:16:42We did it!
01:16:45Yes!
01:16:48My daughter's neck is gone!
01:17:10Yeah!
01:17:24Congratulations.
01:17:25You were really great.
01:17:26You deserve it.
01:17:27Thank you so much.
01:17:30Do you think you could, like, introduce me
01:17:32to your coach sometime?
01:17:35Yeah, sure.
01:17:40You deserve it as much as I do.
01:17:58I'm so proud of you.
01:18:01I love you.
01:18:04Thanks so much for being here, Mom.
01:18:11Not bad for a rookie coach.
01:18:13Miss Clayton!
01:18:14Yes?
01:18:15Are you taking any new students?
01:18:16Do you have a card?
01:18:18Do you have a waiting list?
01:18:19Which rink do you skate in?
01:18:21Just one minute.
01:18:26I think I need a rink.
01:18:28Yeah, seems like it.
01:18:30You own one.
01:18:32Not anymore.
01:18:34You could if you wanted to.
01:18:36I don't have any money, Amy.
01:18:38No, but I do.
01:18:40More than enough.
01:18:42Trust me.
01:18:43Trust her, Tim.
01:18:45Is this like a business proposition?
01:18:48Hmm.
01:18:49Maybe not all business.
01:18:52Partners?
01:18:53Hey, there they are.
01:18:54Come on, guys.
01:18:56Hey, Amy Clayton.
01:18:58Amy.
01:18:59Amy, could we have an interview?
01:19:02You know what?
01:19:04I've wasted enough time already.
01:19:30Come on, guys.
01:19:32Let's go.
01:19:59Come on, guys.
01:20:29Come on.
01:20:59Come on.
