Blades Of Glory Page #2

Synopsis: When rivalry between the world's best men's figure skaters - sex addicted, improvisational Chazz Michael Michaels and germophobic, precise Jimmy MacElroy - breaks into a fight on the awards platform, they're banned from the event for life. Three years later, desire for a gold medal and a careful reading of the rules lead them to compete as skating's first male-male pair. Can they overcome mutual dislike, limited time to prepare, their coach's secret past, and the dirty tricks of their main opponents, the Van Waldenberg siblings? The key to victory or defeat may lie in the attraction of the virginal Jimmy toward Katie, the Van Waldenbergs' little sister.

These are a couple of diaper bags

I made for Faith Hill.

LAMPLEY:
Two men, only one winner.

Will it be Chazz Michael Michaels?

Personal philosophy: clothing optional.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Hope you brought your silver polish,

MacElroy, 'cause that was gold.

That was disgusting.

That, young man,

is how babies are made.

- Get out of my face.

- I'll get inside your face.

Mr. Michael Michaels,

please gather your coach,

family, and friends

and move to the bench

to await your scores.

Hey, traffic cop. Get this straight.

I don't have a coach. I don't need one.

And as for friends and family,

Chazz Michael Michaels walks alone.

That's why they call me the Lone Wolf,

on my back there.

WOMAN:
5.9, 5.9, 6.0...

That's what I'm talking about.

5.9, 6.0...

Another 6.0.

...5.8.

CHAZZ:
Was it good for you,

Stockholm?

'Cause it was good for me.

Let's have a smoke.

Eat that, MacElroy.

Those were the same scores

I got, Einstein. We're tied.

You're high.

MAN:
Ladies and gentlemen,

we have a tie.

From the United States,

Jimmy MacElroy

and Chazz Michael Michaels.

You're fired.

What? I brought you a gold medal.

No, you brought me half a gold medal.

If I wanted him to share,

I'd have bought him a brother.

LAMPLEY:
It's raining men in the

men's singles. Men wearing gold, that is.

And they join Team USA's

other gold medalists,

the pairs team of

Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg.

Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg,

America's brother and sister darlings,

the gold standard

of pairs figure skating.

Children of

beloved Swiss skiing gold medalists,

Otto and Ella Van Waldenberg,

the twin dynamos Stranz and Fairchild

burst out of the womb and onto the ice

while their sister, Katie,

cheered from the sidelines.

Theirs seemed to be a charmed life

until March 14th, 1987

when their parents died tragically

in a car crash.

Katie would survive.

The world wondered, had Stranz

and Fairchild gone into a layback spin

from which they could never recover?

But the siblings' commitment was such

that they were back in the training rink

within hours of the funeral.

So tonight, the crowd cheers on

their beloved Van Waldenbergs.

SCOTT:
Well, Stranz and Fairchild,

how heavy is that gold

around your necks?

Scott, this may be solid gold

but to us it's lighter than air

because dreams never weigh you down.

No. Dreams are in your sleep.

What about the amazing

Michaels and MacElroy?

Two gold medals?

Yeah. That's great.

SCOTT:
Well, speaking of gold medals,

the winners of the men's singles

are taking their place

at the podium right now.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

SCOTT:
This has to be a proud moment

for Michaels and MacElroy.

You have to think, the only thing
