Quotes
-
Casey Carlyle : [upon learning the truth] Are you happy about my feet?
Gen Harwood : What?
Tina Harwood : I'm sorry, Casey, but your old skates were a mess.
Gen Harwood : You bought her new skates?
Casey Carlyle : Please, like you didn't know.
Gen Harwood : Casey, I didn't!
Casey Carlyle : How can you lie to my face? You're just as bad as she is.
Teddy Harwood : [defensively] Hey, ease up, Casey.
Casey Carlyle : Oh, just defend her! Like you weren't part of it.
Teddy Harwood : How could you think that?
Casey Carlyle : Because it's true. You set me up. All of you.
[a beat]
Casey Carlyle : What kind of people are you?
-
Casey Carlyle : It is a sport, Mom. It is a thrilling and beautiful sport.
Joan Carlyle : Are you sure it doesn't just make you feel beautiful?
Casey Carlyle : So what if it does? What is so horrible about that? About feeling strong and graceful and beautiful for once in my life?
-
Casey Carlyle : When I get nervous, I kind of babble a little. It's like this gear gets loose in my head like those Planck diagrams, where...
Girl at Party : You're doing that babbling thing again.
Teddy Harwood : I think babbling is cool.
-
Gen Harwood : [after doing Casey's makeup] You're hot, but stay away from Brian. He's mine. Teddy... Teddy you can have.
Casey Carlyle : Oh, um... but I don't...
Gen Harwood : You know, I may not be as smart as you are, but I'm not an idiot.
-
Casey Carlyle : I want you to coach me for sectionals.
Tina Harwood : Why on earth would I do that?
Casey Carlyle : Because you don't have a skater and I don't have a coach. We're a perfect match.
-
Joan Carlyle : Case, there's no shelf life on your mind. If I'd learned to use mine a little sooner, if I'd gone to college when I was your age, maybe we wouldn't be living like this.
Casey Carlyle : There's nothing wrong with the way we live.
Joan Carlyle : I've not been able to give you a quarter of the things I've wanted to.
Casey Carlyle : You've given me everything.
-
Casey Carlyle : This is a lot of pressure for a recital.
Lily : It's not only a recital. It's a U.S.F.S.A.J.S.T.
Casey Carlyle : Earth speak, please?
Lily : It's the first step in qualifying for the regionals. I mean, for us kids.
Casey Carlyle : Oh.
Lily : You don't have to do it.
Casey Carlyle : That's good because it's not humanly possible.
-
Joan Carlyle : [about Harvard] You can't do this, Case. You're giving up on your dream.
Casey Carlyle : No, Mom. I'm giving up on your dream. I'm going after mine.
-
Joan Carlyle : How can I not see you?
Casey Carlyle : You see me better than anyone.
-
Tina Harwood : [trying to calm down jittery Casey] Take a deep breath
[Casey inhales]
Tina Harwood : ... And then you let it out.
[Casey exhales]
Casey Carlyle : It didn't work!
-
Casey Carlyle : [to Gen, Nikki and Tiffany when they pay for their food] Um... It's $1 .65, $2.35 and $3.35. That's $ 7.30 or if you split it the other way, it's $1.75 and $5.55.
Nikki : Whoa. You can keep it all if you just stop doing that.
-
Casey Carlyle : [to Teddy] I can't have a conversation with anybody I haven't known since kindergarten. So how come I can do that in front of you?
Teddy Harwood : Because you let people see you when you skate.
-
Casey Carlyle : Tina, I have to do this. I want this more than I've ever wanted anything. I said no to Harvard. I will work harder than any skater you have ever trained. And if I fail, I fail, but because I wasn't good enough, not because I didn't have the guts. I want to know what I can do in this sport and I'm going to find out.
-
Casey Carlyle : [to Tina] If I wanted to compete?
Tina Harwood : You can't.
Casey Carlyle : Why not?
Tina Harwood : What happened was, the judges saw the same thing I've been seeing all summer. You got some raw talent. That's not enough for a shot at the regionals. You need a coach, a valet, a choreographer, private ice time. Nikki's parents took out a second mortgage to do this and Tiffany's dad works two jobs.
Casey Carlyle : Oh.
Tina Harwood : Where d'you get those skates?
Casey Carlyle : Garage sale.
Tina Harwood : They're falling off your feet. You need custom boots, $600 minimum, and the blades need to be sharpened every six weeks. You get it? I'm sorry. It is what it is. You have to want it. You have to want it more than anything else. It's not something you do on a whim.
-
Joan Carlyle : [to Casey] I just can't get past the twinky little outfits.
Casey Carlyle : Mom, they're actually very aerodynamically sound.
Joan Carlyle : It sets us back 50 years. If I ever saw you squeezed into one of those things, I'd probably start crying.
-
Casey Carlyle : Why are you jealous of her?
Joan Carlyle : [nods] Well,
[shakes her head]
Joan Carlyle : I guess no matter how old we get, the rest of us will still always hate the prom queen.
