The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream Page #3

Look,

I just want to know if that girI

on your team will skate with me,

professionally, as a tryout. It's what I do.

I know what you do,

and I know what you are.

I watched your grandfather develop

the Conroy Center.

Amazing how a nice little neighborhood

had to disappear

so you could have that fancy ice rink

all to yourself, right?

Right. Do you know what?

I still want to talk to the girI.

All right.

Okay, listen.

You want to ask Alex something,

ask her yourself.

You mind?

- All right? Enjoy.

- Thank you.

Look, just give me five minutes.

You're wasting your time.

I don't go for guys in leotards.

Okay, good. Then there won't be

any romantic distractions.

Let me ask you a question.

Will you skate with me?

Go on.

What makes you think I can do it?

When I saw you on the ice,

remember? Or was that someone else?

All you saw was my dust, baby.

Not a great selling point for you.

I was wearing figure skates.

See? That's what I'm talking about.

You know you're good, and so do I.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean

I can do triple-toes and salchows.

I mean, I haven't worn

figure skates since I was 10.

Well, that's what coaches are for.

Come on. You got nothing to lose.

Oh, really?

'Cause I have nothing better to do

than to make a fooI of myself

in front of you and your friends.

It won't be like that.

I promise.

- I have to get back to work.

- Hey.

Think about it.

You could call me,

or show up at the rink at 3:00.

Yeah.

Ah, Celeste. So when are you back?

Four months. Give or take.

Not untiI after Paris?

Well, that has to suck.

Yeah, I'll call you back.

- I have exactly one hour, Bryan.

- Not a problem.

He's here.

You're late.

Would you be on time

for your own execution?

- Darling boy.

- Misha.

Great to see you, and glamorous as ever.

- I try.

- I know.

- And how's Rudy?

- Not dead. Yet.

Bryan says you're afraid to skate with me.

- Well, after Celeste's leg...

- That was an accident.

- I try to protect my partner.

- Don't we all?

Well, that's not what Rudy said.

He said in Tokyo that you threatened to...

How did he put it?

That son of a b*tch!

I am going back to Moscow.

- I'm so sorry. Are you all right?

- Like you really care.

- Ice looks good today.

- Well, that went well.

Very clever. Very neatly done.

I just hope you have a reasonable

explanation, or at least an alternative.

- Can you just wait?

- For what?

For you to grow up?

Meet the alternative.

Dropped your phone.

- Thanks for letting me use your skates.

- Don't worry about it.

It's not like I'm using them.

It's been so long, I forgot how

uncomfortable these things are.

- All right.

- Watch your edges, they're sharper.
