Skating to New York Page #3

---

Just forget about it. Soon as I'm done

with school, I'm gone.

You know what? Forget school.

You know why?

Because this guy's going to be playing in

the CHL, sooner or later, so who cares?

Yeah, I'm so sure that some scout's going to

come and scope out a bunch of plugs like us.

- All right, we're bouncing.

- You're putting the tab? Thanks, bro.

- Coming? Hurry up.

- Guys, wait up.

Well, you look better

than the last time I saw you.

- Hi.

- Laid out on the ice.

Yeah. Feeling better. Seven stitches.

So, do you guys

keep score on everything?

Can I have a cream soda, please?

Thank you.

So, I'm guessing with head injuries,

you've got to pay attention.

No dizziness, amnesia.

I wouldn't mind amnesia

every once in a while.

- And what are you trying to forget?

- You ask a lot of questions.

Okay, well...

Maybe you should take it easy. Sleep in.

I'm going to an ice dog skate

with my dad tomorrow morning.

Ice dogs are...?

Juniors.

- Don't know what juniors are.

- Hockey. Sports.

Well, I'm guessing you know

there are other things in life, right?

And you're Canadian.

I know you. You're Casey.

Okay. I know you, too.

- Page Broughton.

- Casey Demas.

- Does it hurt?

- Yeah, it hurts.

The Lidocaine is wearing off, I think.

Anyway, I should... I should...

Yeah, this was nice.

See you around?

- Yeah. Good.

- See ya.

Bye.

Saw on the news last night...

They're thinking,

with all this cold weather,

lake's frozen solid all the way across.

First time since 1934.

What the hell happened

to global warming?

You know, this beauty of a town,

it's always the last to get anything.

This place sucks.

Nothing ever happens here.

They say they're pushing

the ice fishing nuts

further and further

in the lake this year, too.

We could get across the lake.

Is your old man going to let you

take out his precious little cat?

You dumbass. Not with a snowmobile.

- No, I say we skate it.

- Skate it?

The whole lake?

Come on, man. Get serious.

They may say "frozen,"

but not all the way through.

There's still warm currents

and hot spots.

- There's pressure ridges and gas holes.

- I think you're a gas hole.

Seriously, right? Is there anything

you're not an expert at?

Getting you to shut up?

Hey! Hey!

Look, all I'm saying is,

this sh*t can be unpredictable!

- Has anybody ever done that?

- Done what? Skate to New York?

Dude, nobody in this town does anything

except sit on their ass and watch T.V.

We could be the first.

That would be pretty amazing.

I bet we'd be all over YouTube.

Guinness book of records even.

Oh, man. That'd be baller steezy!

Seriously, though...

No one's going to want to come around
