Keep the pressure on, gentlemen. Brandon, let's see some teamwork.
Dylan, kick that puck out. Come on, Dylan, dive for it.
- Keep your head up, buddy. - All right, man, you're gonna die.
- You gotta catch me first. - Oh, yeah?
Get back to the game. Let's go, now. Come on, keep the pressure on.
Watch that stick. Keep the stick down. Try for it. Pass, now. Pass, Brandon.
Go for it. Come on, now.
Steve, cut the angle off.
Come on, Dylan, play the puck.
Play the puck, Dylan. Speed, speed. Good speed.
Hey, Steve, how's the support, man?
Good job, man, way to go.
All right, men, that's it.
Come on, guys, clear the ice.
Good practise. Good practise. All right.
Nice shot, hot dog.
Thanks, coach. Thanks for the workout.
Thought you said your friend could skate.
Well, maybe if we just propped him up in the net, he could block a few shots.
- Help him. - Yeah.
- Hey, Dylan. - Yo, man.
So, what, do you love it or what?
Well, I tell you what. This is not exactly the ocean,
but, you know, maybe I could get used to it.
Told you.
Hey, buddy. How's it going?
- This is nothing like roller-skating. - Who said it was?
Wayne Gretzky.
That's not what the Great One told me.
Come on, pal. Let's skate now. Free and easy, okay? Come on.
You can do it.
Who's that?
The resident prima donna. Every rink has one.
God.
- You okay? - God.
You okay, man?
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
- I think I broke something. - Yeah, he's fine.
Oh, but you're cut. I'm so sorry. It was my fault.
Don't worry. You can run into us anytime.
No, no, no. Don't let her off that easy. It's a basic rule of etiquette.
When the buzzer sounds, the real skaters are allowed to leave the ice
before the charge of the ice brigade begins.
Oh, I see. We're talking about real skaters,
as opposed to what, ice bunnies?
Hey, if the blade fits.
Spoken like a true stickman.
You know, medical studies show that a four-minute routine
requires more stamina than a full period of hockey.
Oh, I see. So doing little spins and cartwheels,
that makes you a real athlete?
And can you prove this?
Six laps around the rink. You against me.
You're kidding, right?
Guess not.
- Last lap. - Go for it.
A tie.
Oh, man, I was seriously dying on that last lap.
I know you were.
- You let me tie you, didn't you? - No way.
- I'm much too competitive for that. - What's going on here?
Is that what you do with world-class skaters
when I'm not here to babysit?
Are you asking to get hurt? Is that what you want, Trisha?
No, Mr. Kluklinski.
Look at the condition of the ice. Where's the Zamboni?
Who's responsible for this mess?
I'm sorry. It was just a bit of friendly competition.
Unfortunately, we don't have time for friendly.
- He's wound a little tight, isn't he? - We all are.
The U.S. finals are coming up.
Finals? What is this, the big time?
We've had a change in the schedule.
After practise, it goes conditioning, dance class,
and then we'll look at the videos.
- Okay. - Whoa, hey, wait a second.
- So when do I get my rematch? - I'm on the ice by 5:30 a. m.
Well, listen, if I'm not here, you can just go ahead and start without me.
Apricot Temptation. Perfect. That's the one.
I don't look too much like Madonna?
Oh, I don't know. It depends on what Madonna looks like this week.
So which one do you wanna order?
Well, let me sleep on it, okay?
Actually, I think that you should get the Raspberry Cream too.
- You don't think it's too bright? - No, it's kind of neutral.
Well, sort of.
Hey, guys. How was the first practise?
It's been a long time since I showed anybody how to do a body check,
but I gotta tell you, it was great.
So, what do you think?
Well, if anyone can whip us into a team, it's Dad.
I meant me.
So this is the glamorous life of an ice queen, huh?
I can't believe you made it.
Yeah, neither can my body.
You do this every morning?
Oh, yeah. This is by far the best part of the day.
It's the only time I get to be myself, feel like it's my life, you know?
Was that your nice way of telling me
that I broke my alarm clock for nothing?
Oh, no. No, I'm thrilled you're here.
I can't think of anyone I'd rather share my free time with.
Well, thank you. Then you won't hear a peep out of me.
I'm not awake yet.
Hey, what's the matter?
Sometimes the pressure can get to you, that's all.
Well, I think I know just what you need.
A triple axel?
Just a little skating humour, that's all.
No, I was thinking more along the lines of a date with a hockey player.
I'd like to, but I-
No, no, it's okay. I understand.
No, you don't understand.
I really would like to go out with you,
but I don't think Mr. Kluklinski would go for it.
We could always ask him.
It doesn't work that way.
But can you stay and watch the practise?
- If you want. - Hey, I'm all yours.
Come on.
Concentrate. You're leaning in the air. Don't arch your back to begin.
That was nice. Much better.
Okay, let's go back to compulsories for a while.
- You Joey? - No, I'm Brandon Walsh.
Oh, so you're not here delivering a vending machine?
- Sorry, I'm just a friend of Trisha's. - Oh, my little cutie-pie.
- Ain't she special? - Yeah, she sure is.
She's got the fire and the ice.
Little girls like that come along once, maybe twice a generation.
- She works hard, huh? - Yeah.
Hey, does Coach K know you're up here?
- I think so. Why? - Because he usually throws a fit
if anyone tries to watch Trisha's workouts.
Well, I think I'll just stay here until Trisha asks me to leave.
Good for you, kid.
Hold your ground, see?
All those people down there waiting to grab a piece of Team Trisha.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I think I do.
- Morning. - Well, you are up early for a Saturday.
And Brandon's already gone. I mean, what's going on?
Well, Brandon's on a mission,
and I'm having a power breakfast with Diedre.
- Our sales manager. - Oh, right.
She is so great.
She's teaching me everything about the business,
and she thinks I could be a star someday.
Well, I'm not surprised. After all, sales is in your blood.
- Mother. - Now, don't snicker.
You know, your grandfather once owned
the largest furniture store in St. Paul.
And I remember, he used to tell the employees:
"When it comes to sales,
service with a smile equals customer satisfaction. "
Speaking of sales, have you decided which kind of makeup you wanna buy?
Yeah, sure. It's okay if I write you a cheque?
Twenty dollars?
You could only get your mother to buy $20 worth of cosmetics?
- You don't know my mother. - Oh, I bet I do.
I bet she's a Midwestern traditionalist.
Strong family values, not much makeup, not much jewellery.
Probably clips coupons. Am I close?
Now, why are you looking at me like that?
The only reason my mother bought anything
was because she knew I'm saving up to buy a car.
Brenda, Brenda, Brenda. You're not listening to me.
What did I tell you yesterday?
"We're not selling shoes, we're selling self-image. "
Exactly. And you have got to think like a shrink, baby.
You got about three seconds to size up every customer that walks in that door.
You have got to ask yourself:
How do I sell this one? What makes them tick?
Do I appeal to their ego?
Do I bully them, do I go to bed with them?
I'm kidding.
There's so much to learn.
Brenda, this is not something that you learn.
Either you have the instinct or you don't.
And you think I've got it?
I didn't hire you to fill in at Christmas out of the goodness of my heart.
Far cry from ice hockey, huh?
Yeah, there's a lot more to this sport than I ever realized.
- That's the truth. - That last jump was fabulous.
No. Her leg was slightly bent.
She would have been marked down for it.
In fact, this has been Trisha's worst practise in a long time.
And you being here is not helping.
So is this your way of asking me to leave?
Don't take it the wrong way. This is not a personal slight on you.
Trisha's very vulnerable right now.
Yeah, she could be a world-class athlete,
but in many ways, she's still a very naive little girl
who needs to put all her focus on the skating, without distractions.
You know, coach,
it'd be real easy for me to walk out of here now and never come back.
And I know that that would make you really happy.
But Trisha invited me here, not you.
And I may be overstepping my bounds a little bit,
but I was wondering if maybe it's time
somebody asked Trisha what she wants.
Isn't this perfect with that plaid skirt? Great.
Kind of like this one.
I thought you would. Actually, it's one of our bestsellers.
Well, it's not bad if you wanna smell like a luau.
Look, you've been here for over an hour.
There's gotta be something here you like.
How about this one?
- Well, that's not bad. - Okay, I'll take it.
- Great. Cash or charge? - Wait. How much is it?
Well, it's sort of expensive.
A hundred and ninety dollars?
You're buying self-image.
- Bren, what are you doing here? - I live here.
Yeah, so do I. I would have been here an hour ago
if I hadn't driven across town to pick you up.
Brandon, I'm sorry. I walked home. I totally spaced.
- Three scoops? - Second bowl.
Tough day at the office, huh?
I was on my feet eight hours straight,
and I probably made a total of, let's see, 1.95 in commissions.
Yeah, I've been there.
Everyone I approached was, "Sorry, dear, just browsing. "
I couldn't even convince Donna to buy a lousy key chain,
and meanwhile, Diedre was having a field day at the register.
The way she can read people is phenomenal.
I don't know, Bren.
Mom's always saying that since Grandpa was a natural-born salesman...
Don't get me started.
You two have a major blowout?
No. They were gone by the time I got home.
I mean, it's not her fault, and it's not Dad's fault.
I'm sure they did the best they could.
What are you saying?
I'm saying I don't think they taught us how to succeed in the real world.
I think they blew it when they raised us to be so...
Nice.
Yeah.
- I know exactly what you're saying. - You do?
Oh, yeah. I was thinking the same thing
when I was watching Trisha on the ice today.
- Oh, how was it? - She was great.
But seeing how determined she was got me to thinking back when I was 5
and everyone was telling Mom and Dad
what a wonder whiz I was on skates.
Yeah, you were. It used to drive me crazy.
So, what if they had given me a little push, huh?
A little formal training? Who knows?
Maybe I'd be a speed-skating champion going for the gold.
- You never know. - Absolutely.
You know, Brenda, if we put our mind to it,
we could make up for lost time.
We just gotta get our priorities straight.
It's a competitive world. You need a competitive edge.
And killer instinct.
And about another gallon of this Almond Crunch ice cream.
Go for it, bro.
No, lift. Lift.
One, two, good.
Yes. Now, back around. Very nice.
Think of height.
Be proud and then keep your back straight, all right?
Very nice, very nice. Not bad. Come here. Not bad.
Okay, well, you're still meandering a bit,
so we'll take it from the top.
What do you say we knock off a little early today, huh?
- It is pretty slow. - It's depressing.
But, hey, it's Thursday.
In retail, we live for the weekends, right?
And the occasional rich kid.
- David. - Insecure. Needs approval.
Price is no object.
Go for it.
Hi.
I couldn't remember which store you worked at.
Well, you came to the right place.
Look, remember how Donna was saying
that since her birthday was on Christmas Day,
nobody ever remembered it?
Well, I didn't remember it either,
so I wanted to get her something really nice.
Something really nice or something really special?
Well, like a scarf or something.
How about a bottle of perfume?
You know, Donna was in here just the other day
and she flipped over this fragrance.
She did?
- Sewy, huh? - Yeah.
It's imported directly from France.
- So how much? - A hundred and ninety dollars.
Isn't that kind of a lot for such a little bottle?
Yeah, but if you truly wanna make a statement,
then price is no object, right?
Well, I don't know, Brenda.
Look, David, we're closing in 15 minutes.
If you want the perfume, fine.
If not, I can always show you some socks.
So she really flipped over it, huh?
Cash or charge?
Perfect.
I'll try to track down Davina,
see if we can get a better fit on your dress.
You know how she panics doing last-minute alterations.
So do the full warm-down,
and I'll be back as soon as I can to pick you up.
- I could give her a ride. - That won't be necessary.
Come on, Coach K.
There's no need for you to be driving back and forth across the city.
Thirty minutes of warm-downs.
Go directly home. Be there in an hour. Understood?
Promise.
- Understood? - Promise.
What's with that guy? He acts like he's your father.
Well, in some ways, he is.
There's not a lot of coaches in Fort Worth,
so when he offered to take me on, I moved in with him and his wife.
And what about your family?
Well, my mom visits when she can, but I've got two sisters.
And everyone's already given up
more than enough to further my career.
Like what?
Trips to the rink at 6 a. m., travelling to competitions,
new boots all the time, coaching, medical treatments,
convincing me to stay with it.
- You wanted to quit? - At least twice a day.
Well, obviously, it's been worth it.
I mean, you're trying out for the Olympics.
I mean, I look at how motivated you are
and what you've accomplished,
and I feel like I've been wasting the best years of my life.
Wasting? How can you say that? At least you have a normal life.
I've never had a date.
I eat what I'm told.
I've never been to a real school.
Well, a lot of people's futures are riding on how my career goes.
That is a lot of pressure.
Team Trisha.
So, what happens when the skating's over?
Well, I'm a big fan of L.A. Law. Maybe I'll go to law school.
Now let me ask you a question:
If you weren't here right now, where would you be?
Happy belated birthday, Donna.
Oh, David, you didn't have to.
You said everybody forgets your birthday,
so I just wanted you to know that I'm not everybody.
Donna, open it.
- Oh, David. - You don't like it?
It's just so expensive.
Well, you're worth it.
Brenda, I can't believe you would sell him something so pricey.
I didn't put a gun to his head.
And don't look now, but it does appear the customers are very satisfied.
What's her problem?
She just resents the fact that I'm getting good at my job.
So things are going pretty good for you, huh?
Yeah. I mean, the power to persuade someone
to buy something they didn't even know they wanted,
there's nothing like it in the world.
Nothing?
Hey, guys. Like to introduce you to my friend Trisha Kinney.
Trisha, this is David, Donna, Kelly,
and of course, my sister, Brenda, who's a big fan.
Absolutely.
And of course you know Dylan and Steve from the rink.
You're much taller standing up.
Thanks.
Pull up a seat.
We can't. I wanted to show Trish where I worked.
- You sure? - Yeah.
Coach says I gotta get her home and rested. Sectionals are in two days.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
If you're not doing anything on Saturday,
I'd like you all to come, be my guests.
Well, thanks. Maybe we will.
- Okay, see you. - Trish.
The store where I work,
we sell the cutest leotards in the Western world.
You know, I think we're witnessing the beginning of a new era.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
- That was great. - No, she missed her toe loop.
You can tell by the position of the foot...
Never mind.
Hey, man.
Glad you could make it. I was about to give up on you.
Where's Bren?
She was gonna come,
but then she decided that it would be a good "career move"
to stay at the store and take inventory with Diedre.
Told you.
How's Trish doing?
- Not too well in the short programme. - Yeah, but it's do-or-die time now.
If she makes this double axel, she could still pull it out.
I couldn't feel the ice.
Hey, every skater has a bad day. You're entitled.
What about the finals?
You finished fifth, honey.
Season is over for this year, I'm sorry.
And that's it?
Listen, why don't you go to Texas for a while, huh?
Spend some time there with your parents.
Decide really if you wanna gear up for '94.
I'll see you at home.
It's okay.
Why do I feel like this is my fault?
Brandon, please.
It's your fault I can't land a jump I haven't missed since I was 12?
Yeah, but it's like Coach K said, I'm a distraction.
He also said maybe I didn't wanna win.
Well, the good news is we can have that date now.
Brenda, lay off Mom.
Mom knows I'm just trying to accent her cheekbones
to neutralise the age thing.
No thanks, honey. I don't think so.
- All right, whatever. - Well, I like those old cheekbones.
- Oh, I didn't mean it like that. - Oh, I know, I know.
If that's for me, tell them I'm gone.
What?
So you'll say just about anything these days to make a commission. Is that it?
You know, Diedre predicted that this would start happening to me.
What?
I'm sorry that everybody is put off by the idea of an independent woman
trying to take an aggressive posture in pursuit of a specific goal.
Which is to have my own car
so I never have to depend on you for a ride to school again.
Oh, touche.
Your friend Trisha knows exactly what I'm talking about.
And if you don't believe me, ask her.
Why don't you ask her yourself? She's gonna stop by school today.
- Really? That's great. I liked her. - Yeah.
- She's special. - Yeah.
Did she mention anything to you
about the leotards I sent over last week?
Just asking.
And here's the one person you haven't met yet.
This is my partner in crime,
Andrea Zuckerman, editor of the Blaze.
Andrea, I would like you to meet Trisha Kinney.
I know who this is. It's great meeting you.
I really admire your work.
- You follow skating? - Are you kidding?
I went through a major wanna-be-a-figure-skater phase
when I was younger, but as I grew up, my...
My centre of gravity kept shifting on me.
Tell me about it.
So you guys doing an interview? I think that's great.
No, actually, it's more of a date.
That's nice too.
So you wanna come with us for lunch?
Well, I'd love to,
but I really have to stay here and grease the Linotype machine.
But you go ahead. Have a nice lunch.
Well, if it isn't the lunch bunch.
- Hi, guys. - Hey, man.
Listen, I'm really sorry about the sectionals.
- Well, these things happen. - There's always next year, right?
Or not.
I've got some time off to decide.
- And you came here? - To school?
Well, this is a big deal for me. The real world.
- Beverly Hills High School. - West Beverly.
Yeah, and I wouldn't be so quick to call it the real world either.
I didn't grow up in a complete bubble.
Although you're talking to a girl who's never eaten a Twinkie.
Sorry, it was part of the official regimen.
Oh, my God. Let me buy you your first Twinkie.
No, no, no. You have to try salt-and-vinegar potato chips.
I think it's gonna take major amounts of Haagen-Dazs.
Dim sum from Chin Chin is:
- Wolfgang Puck pizza. - Gum.
Donna, gum is not food.
I don't care. Gum.
- I can't wait. - Wait, wait, wait.
There's one food that covers it all.
A Pan-American delicacy, if you will.
A food not found in nature,
yet a meal so complete, you eat the package.
It's a meal that keeps on giving hour after hour after hour.
I'm talking about the one,
the only:
The burrito.
I feel like I'm finally part of the human race.
Well, welcome to it.
This is going straight to my centre of gravity and I love it.
After today, nothing's gonna fit me anymore.
Which reminds me,
Brenda wanted me to tell you about the leotards you got.
They can be embroidered-
Enjoy your burrito, Trish.
- Thanks. - I'll see you, guys.
- Your friends are great. - Yeah, they are.
So, what do you wanna do tonight?
- So you like it? - I love it.
Very Italian. Very '90s.
I was wondering when you were getting back.
Joyce. How have you been, stranger?
Did you get everything you need?
Bought half the store, thanks to your protege here.
So I see.
You know, this is a little trendy, but I really like this.
You know what it needs, though?
These are a little extreme,
but I know that you can pull it off.
Oh, what the hell? At this point, who's counting?
My point exactly.
So, now, are you still seeing that lawyer?
Oh, we broke up two months ago. What a jerk.
- Aren't they all? - Diedre, what are you doing?
Joyce, you know what?
Go pick up a scarf off that rack over there, huh? On the house.
Oh, thank you.
If you ring up that sale, you get to take home the commission.
Well, Joyce has always been my customer.
Yes, well, I waited on her for over an hour.
Look, sweetie. We're coming off the worst Christmas ever,
and business is in the toilet.
I have a car payment to make, and this is just the way it's gonna be.
- What do you think about this one? - That is so perfect.
Brenda, can you go in the back
and check to see if there are some boxes for this stuff?
You know, I heard your book was getting published.
- Yeah, as a matter of fact. - Oh, congratulations.
- You ready? - This is weird.
Of all the things to do on your first official date, you pick skating.
Well, actually, I always fantasized that on my first date I'd go dancing.
Dancing. The one thing I don't do is dance.
I know. But you love to skate, right?
- So? - So...
May I have this skate?
I don't know about this.
Come on, it's easy. Relax and feel the ice.
Very nice.
Form needs work, but there is promise.
Coach K, I'm a civilian now. I don't need a chaperon.
Here's some news that might influence your decision:
The Skating Federation granted a waiver today
for you to compete at sectionals.
- How is that possible? - Who knows?
Problems in the scoring. Appeals. It's all politics.
I don't understand.
They're giving me another chance, Brandon.
- I could still get to the finals. - Hey, that's great.
But we have to be at Salt Lake City on Thursday.
That leaves only five days to get ready.
And since it's still early...
We have to start tonight?
Trisha, everybody knows you're getting an exemption.
The judges will be gunning for you.
I wanna rechoreograph the programme.
Add a new combination and take out the double Lutz.
Oh, Brandon, I'm sorry.
Look, couldn't this start tomorrow?
No, no, forget it.
You've spent the last nine years working for this, Trisha.
What's one lousy date? It can wait.
Really.
Thank you.
You know what we could try?
A triple flip.
You're determined to be the death of me, aren't you?
But just let me show you what I can do. You'll see.
- Getting an early start, huh? - Yeah.
- We have a practise today. - I know, Dad. I'll be there.
Hey, Sallie.
Morning, Brandon.
Team Trisha's back from the dead, huh?
Yeah.
Look, today's practise session is closed to all visitors,
so I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
Listen, Sal, you just tell the coach that I-
No, this didn't come from Kluklinski.
It was Trisha's idea.
Hey, sleepy, your alarm went off half an hour ago.
Time to face the day.
- Why? - Don't you have work today?
No comment.
What's the matter?
Mom,
you don't know how awful it was yesterday.
Well, what happened?
I was looking at a $500 commission,
and Diedre ripped it off. I mean, literally.
She grabbed the sales slip right out of my hand.
She did? But I thought you were so close.
So did I. I just wanted to quit yesterday,
but you and Dad always make a big point about how we're not quitters.
Walking away from a rotten situation isn't quitting.
Especially when you've been doing such a great job.
Yeah, well, I've been kind of obnoxious lately, haven't I?
Well, maybe you've gone a little overboard,
but that doesn't give her the right to treat you like that.
I just tried to do what Grandpa said:
"Service with a smile," for all the good that did me.
Yes, but you don't remember what Grandma used to say:
"Don't get mad, get even. "
Brenda can help you with anything else, okay?
- Hermes is magnificent, isn't it? And- - I'll take it.
I find I just can't get enough of these.
- Does this one come in other colours? - Oh, yes, it certainly does.
Good. What else can you show me?
Next time, pass the puck, hotshot.
Cover the wing, Brandon. It's a team sport. Come on, hustle.
Come on.
Energy, energy, energy. Come on, now, make a shot.
Oh, it's a save! All right!
- Good one, Steve. - Way to go, Steve.
All right.
Brandon.
- What's wrong, son? - Nothing's wrong.
I missed a setup. What's the big deal?
Why don't you tell me what the deal is?
Obviously, your head's not into it.
Take your skates off so you don't hurt yourself.
Fine. Whatever you say, coach.
Hey, hey, hey, Brandon.
Whatever happened with that girl this morning,
it's not the end of the world, is it?
She was something special, huh?
Let me put it to you this way, Dad:
I didn't even try to kiss her.
That is special.
Dad, let me ask you a question.
When I was a kid and I was winning all those trophies at the Y,
well, why didn't you and Mom encourage me to skate competitively?
We did encourage you. We just didn't push you.
Didn't think I could take the pressure, huh?
Brandon, you don't know this, but your mother actually had a meeting
with one of the best coaches in the Midwest.
And he asked us one key question:
Do we wanna have a superstar,
or do we wanna have a son?
I hope you're not disappointed with the choice we made.
I think I can live with it.
Wanna get back on the ice?
No, I think I better go to work.
- All right. Catch you at home. - Yeah.
Hey, Dad.
Thanks.
Yeah.
See you later.
So where did Imelda Marcos go?
She's outside feeding her meter. Now, are you taking notes on this?
She is the kind of woman that we dream about.
She knows exactly what she wants,
she isn't afraid to shell out money for quality merchandise,
and she has good taste, but not too discriminating.
She's a very quality person and she treats herself accordingly.
And I'm also very proud to say
that this looks like it could be the largest single commission
in what is turning out to be a very good year.
Now, watch how I button this down.
Too late. Oh, well.
Oh, please, let us take care of that.
And let me have the girl get you another cappuccino.
No, thank you.
You know, I'm standing here looking at this belt, and I'm thinking:
I don't really need this.
No. I mean, it isn't you.
And I'm wondering if I need all those blouses.
I don't know. You just have such good taste.
Why don't you leave whatever you don't want
and I'll have the girl put them away for you?
And I really don't need the scarves.
Or the shoes.
- You don't? - No, I don't.
No scarves, no shoes, no $100 wrinkle creams,
and I really don't need you telling me how much you love my good taste,
or how happy this will make me,
or how great I'll look, or how much I deserve this,
or how much I deserve that.
And most of all,
I really don't need you kissing my butt to pad your commission
while you treat your employees badly.
But thanks so much for taking care of this.
You deserve it.
What a bitch.
Yeah.
So, what's good?
If it doesn't raise your cholesterol level, you won't find it on this menu.
Shouldn't you be at dance class? Or at your sports psychologist?
Mr. K's in the car. We're on the way to the airport.
But I...
I didn't wanna leave without saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
- I'm sorry I closed the practise today. - There's no need to explain.
Well, yes, there is.
It's not coach, or my parents,
or anyone else that drives me to do this.
It's me.
It's what I want.
To be the best skater in the world.
To go to the Olympics. To turn pro.
To be a star.
And what was I, a two-week distraction?
You don't believe that, do you?
You know what hurts me the most?
Is it was okay with me.
I was willing to show up at 5:30 every morning
and take what I could get.
But how fair would that have been to either of us?
You know, I'll always remember you
as the guy who gave me my first burrito.
I'll always remember you as the girl who got me to dance.
We're watching Trisha Kinney of Fort Worth, Texas.
Young lady who trains in Los Angeles.
Has a good opportunity to do quite well in competition.
Split-jump combination.
Double toe loop, very neat and clean.
Double jump, excellent.
That was the double axel. She did it. Way to go, Trisha.
She's gonna win this thing, man.
How can someone so fragile-looking have all that strength?
Fire and ice.
And her final spin, very, very tight.
That's a scratch spin. The arms over the head, very nice.
Very nice moves for Trisha Kinney of Fort Worth, Texas,
a young lady we should see a lot more of in coming years.
You were wonderful.
Trisha, congratulations. It's moments like this
that make all the years of hard work and sacrifice worth it.
Definitely, of course it is.
But to tell you the truth, I do miss those burritos.
Well, that wraps up the ladies' competition
here in Salt Lake.
You okay?
Hey,
I had the time of my life.
Right now, this is Dick Button
saying thank you for joining us here in Salt Lake.
