[repeated line]
Kate : Toe pick!

Kate : I'm sure there's nothing I do that you'd find exciting. I don't open beer bottles with my toes, I don't sit around and count what's left of my teeth, hey, I don't even enjoy a good tractor pull. It's been a limited existence, but I've gotten used to it.
Doug : Life of the party, huh? Place must be crawling with guys.
Kate : As a matter of fact, I do have a boyfriend.
Doug : Well there's a rough gig. What do you do, keep him chained up in the basement?
Kate : Hale at the moment is working in my father's London office, he's an MBA - Harvard. You might have heard of it. They do have a hockey team.
Doug : He must be a very smart guy.
Anton : First positions, please.
Doug : Bet you look pretty good from a few thousand miles away.

Kate Mosley : Yes, I did.
Doug Dorsey : Why?
Kate Mosley : Because I love you.
Doug Dorsey : Just remember who said it first.

Kate : It's Christmas and we skate. I have the flu and we skate. I have a boyfriend in London that I never see. I skate every day for you, so that you can play Dr. Frankenstein with this guy. I show up every morning for seven months so that you can give him two days to go off whoring in New York City?
Anton : Is not entirely correct.
[pause]
Anton : He went to Boston.

[On the First Olympic Skate Doug has the top button unbuttoned]
Kate : You are an immature asshole of the lowest order.
Doug : If it was forty below and that button meant the difference between a long satisfying life and a cold horrible death from hypothermia, I still wouldn't give you the satisfaction! Skate!
-
Kate : I swear, you let me down and it'll take them a month to count the blade marks up your back.

Doug Dorsey : Great Expectations.

Hale : You're falling for him.
Kate : What?
Hale : Doug.
Kate : [sarcastic] Yeah.
Hale : You are. You're falling for him.
Kate : Well, that's crazy.
Hale : You think so?
Kate : You're nuts.
Hale : Am I?
Kate : Well, you see how we act together.
Hale : Yes, I do.
Kate : We never get along. I mean, we're always fighting.
Hale : Foreplay.

Kate : If you're so bored, why don't you read?
Doug : What, you mean like a book?
Kate : That is a traditionally accepted format, yes.
Doug : Is this the beginning of a conversation, here?
Kate : I was just simply asking if you knew how to read.
Doug : Yes. Doug can read.
Kate : What was the last book you read? You *were* in college?
Doug : The last thing I read in college was the letter canceling my scholarship when I couldn't play anymore.
Kate : Okay, high school.
Doug : I was a hockey player. The only thing I had to read was a scoreboard.
Kate : And they graduated you?
Doug : They revered me. I was a God.
Kate : What a tragic commentary on our times.
-
Doug Dorsey : I was gonna tell you - that book you gave me, it's pretty good.
Kate Mosley : Really. Using it as a doorstop, or a coaster?
-
Kate : If you two will excuse me. Naked male insecurity really leaves me cold.
-
Doug : [Doug chases Kate into the hotel elevator] Kate! Kate, will you wait a minute? Kate! Kate! Kate! Kate!
Kate : Don't! Don't even try it! Just looking at you makes me sick! To think I was coming to apoligize! Lorie Peckarovski!
Doug : Were you, or were you not engaged to be married until last night?
Kate : Hardly the point.
Doug : You threw me out of your room!
Kate : Count your blessings. She may not have waited much longer!
Doug : That's not how it happened!
Kate : Spare me the details.
Doug : Where the hell do you get off?
Kate : *Me?*
Doug : This is my fault? From the first day I walk into your rink, you treat me like a hired hand! Then one night, you get drunk, I'm supposed to roll over and thank my lucky stars? I'm sorry, I don't downshift that fast!
Kate : Get out of my way!
Doug : No problem! I've been practicing that move for a year and a half!
[people are chuckling at them]
Doug : Blind date.

[Doug is carrying Kate's flowers and walking her back to her room. The long program is the next day]
Doug : Man, this overnight thing is brutal. Why can't it be a double header, you know? Short program, long program. Same night, boom, we're outta here, you know what I mean?
Kate : Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
Doug : It's like 'Enough already!' It's like... what's the word? Uh, y-you know what word I'm looking for? Wh-You know what I mean?
Kate : [trying to open her door] I don't know, uhhh, expectation?
Doug : No, no, when you, uh...
Kate : Anticipation? Excitement?
Doug : Foreplay!
Kate : [looks up in shock, stunned] Foreplay?
Doug : Yeah, you know, like foreplay.
Kate : Yeah, I know what it means.
Doug : Well, wouldn't you rather just get right to it?
Kate : What?
Doug : Skating. Long program.
[Kate stares, wide-eyed]
Doug : Chicago? Nationals?
[holds up her bouquet]
Doug : Flowers?
Kate : [still stunned, takes her flowers] Sleep. I'd rather sleep.
[She goes into her room, leaving Doug very confused outside]
