Is fear.

You've gotta be kidding me.

What do I have to be afraid of?

Because finally you have

found yourself a partner.

-He's all yours.

What's her problem?

I think she is nervous

Kate.

You want my hands where?

You gotta be kidding.

-How am I doing?

-Maybe in about five years...

...you'll get it up to half-speed.

Hey, come on.

Douglas? Douglas, come back.

You have the mentality

of a rock, you know that?

Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

She's got everything.

A house, the rink.

I don't get it.

You know something,

-What's that?

-Open it up.

Go on.

I wrapped it myself.

What do you get for the girl

What is this expression on your face?

Is that a smile?

I never knew you had

so many teeth.

Turn around.

-What are you doing?

-Turn around.

Thank you.

-Yes.
