The Cutting Edge Page #6

Synopsis: At the 1988 Winter Olympics at Calgary, we see Doug Dorsey battered in a vicious hockey game against West Germany. We then see Kate Moseley doing her program and falling when a lift goes bad. Both have fought all their life to get to the Olympics and suddenly the dream has been shattered. The movie then follows Kate, a tempermental but talented figure skater, through many partners until finally her coach resorts to recruiting a hockey player. Through the difficult training of 15 hours of skating a day they finally prepare for Nationals and the Olympics. A romance is budding and their final show could bend or break them as they try to achieve their dreams of an Olympic Gold medal.

a little hockey myself. For fun.

Let me know.

We'll slap it around sometime.

Sure. And maybe you

can stop by the office.

-Help me with currency arbitrage.

-lf you two will excuse me.

Naked male-insecurity

really leaves me cold.

Must be tough to stay away.

I understand you're giving Kate

a rough time.

You know Kate.

Yes, I do. And I don't like

to see her upset.

If I was you,

I'd invest in blindfolds.

Seven, six, five...

...four, three, two, one.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year, sweetheart.

Happy New Year!.

-Who is it?

-It's me, Kate.

-Hi.

-Hi.

I spoke to Anton. He said you were

leaving for the weekend.

-What, that's a problem?

-No, it's great.

You haven't been home

since you got here.

They probably think we've got you

under lock and key.

-Come on in.

-I haven't been here in a while.

Not since Brian.

Brian had mirrors up all over.

Oh, yeah, I took them down.

It's kind of a mess.

I wasn't expecting any company.

What's this?

That's me smelling the ice.

I told this guy once

I loved how ice smelled.

It became this thing.

Somebody got a camera.

-I never thought about it.

-I'm not surprised.

What's that supposed to mean?

-Kate.

-I'll be right there.

What did you mean by that?

I think you'd skate even better

if you'd let yourself enjoy it a little.

Wait. What's this? I come up to say,

"Have a nice weekend"...

...and you're

gonna give me pointers?

-You brought it up.

-No, I didn't.

-Yes, you did.

-No, I didn't.

-Yes, you did.

-No--

I came to give you this.

-What's that?

-It's our greatest hits.

It's a video for your family...

...of us skating.

-Thanks.

-My dad booked some extra rooms...

...in Chicago, and we'd love them

to stay with us.

-My family?

-Yes. To the nationals.

They're coming, aren't they?

I don't know.

Look at all you've done.

They must be excited.

Honey, it's a 7:
:30 show.

-You better go.

-Why wouldn't they come?

They're coming. Hale's waiting.

How do you know

if you haven't told them?

-I'm gonna tell them.

-When?

-Now. This weekend.

-You sure?

-Yeah, I'm sure.

-Really?

Kate, believe me.

I'm dying to tell them.

Dougie? Dougie!.

Doug.

Doug.

Hey, you're a captain now.

Doug.

Come on. Come on.

Would you let him up for air, dear.

Come on.

I'll be a son of a b*tch.

Man, it's good to see you.

Yeah, it's good to see you too.

My brother Doug,

home from the merchant marine.

Did you forget

how to use the phone?

Come on.

Move back, move back.

He's been cruising

all over the world...

...and he can't even get to the bar.

Come on.

Ensign Dorsey. No, no--

Lieutenant, Captain Dorsey, huh?

-Cool it with the merchant marine.
