Ice Princess Page #3

Synopsis: A high-school bookworm transforms into a swan. Brainy Casey Carlyle has never quite fit in. Caught between her fantasy of becoming a championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother, who has her on the fast track to Harvard, she can only hope to be like Nikki, Tiffany and Gen--three elite skating prodigies who are ruthlessly competing on the US National circuit (and have attitudes to match). But when Casey gets the chance to train with Gen and her coach, a disgraced former skating champion who also happens to be Gen's mother, she must dash her own mother's hopes in order to pursue her dream. Now, with only the support of Gen's teenage brother, a hunky Zamboni driver, Casey takes on the challenge of her life when she finds herself competing against the best to make it into the championship circuit and become a real "ice princess."

You're welcome.

All right, everybody.

Welcome to our Snowplow Sam class.

Let's line up.

Lookin' good.

Class, can you tell our assistant

the most important rule for this class?

- Mom...

- [all] Never be late.

Right. We have a lot to do

if we are going to be ready

for our recital in August.

We are going to work on our toe loop.

Our Lutz.

[children gasp]

But first, all of you

have to get comfortable

with throwing your bodies into the air.

Casey, you're the physics whiz.

What's that rule about what goes up?

Technically,

it's that every particle attracts...

Casey.

Must come down.

This... is your new best friend.

Oh! Oh...

Look, could you try not to, like,

squish me?

I'm sorry.

Casey. Pull your arms in tighter.

They're throwing you off balance.

- Arms in.

- Okay.

Now try that about 5,000 more times.

- Right.

- [Tina] Push over on your right leg.

[Tina] Don't look at your feet.

Look straight ahead.

Jeremy!

That toe pick is there for a reason!

You dig it in.

Or no friends over for a week.

This is a lot of pressure for a recital.

It's not only a recital.

It's a U.S.F.S.A.J.S.T.

Earth speak, please?

It's the first step

in qualifying for the regionals.

- I mean for us kids.

- Oh.

- You don't have to do it.

- That's good.

Because it's not humanly possible.

[# Michelle Branch:

You Set Me Free]

# Can't you see

# There's a feeling

that's come over me

# Close my eyes

# You're the only one that leaves me

# Completely breathless

# No need to wonder why

# Sometimes a gift like this

you can't deny

# Oh, 'cause I wanted to fly

# So you gave me your wings

# And time held its breath

# So I could see, yeah

# And you set me free #

Are you out of your mind?!

[bang]

[squeals]

Hey, don't you know anything?

No skating when the Zamboni's out.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

- Thank you.

- Oh, you're fine?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

[sighs]

Look, you wanna tell me

what was in your head?

I've never skated on

such a smooth surface before.

I wanted to see what it was like.

- Lake skater?

- Pond. Near my house.

- Look, you need a hand.

- No! I'm good to go.

Oh!

[Teddy laughs]

You must really want that A.

Wow, that's a lot of Styrofoam.

It's not for an A.

It's for a physics scholarship.

What, like, uh... inertia and drag

and velocity and all that?

- How do you know about that?

- I'm into cars.

Get this baby out on the road,

I can open her up to...

...seven miles an hour.

Blow the doors off

any street-sweeper in town.

Um... I should get home.

Yeah, you should.

Can't do the ice until you're off.

Right.

Sure.

Well...

How's it coming?

It's coming.

It takes incredible training and effort

and there's artistry involved
