Ice Girls

Em!

Emma! Emma!

Come on, Em. We got to get to the rink.

You should've seen what happened today. Get the door.

Twenty-two kids got sent home from school with lice.

Benefits of tea tree oil. Ew!

Would you rather get lice?

What's with the boxes?

Mind your own business, kiddo.

Oh, really?

Em, get in the driver's seat, key on,

pedal to the metal when I say.

Got it.

Hit it!

I know this hasn't been easy for you

and how badly you need the funding,

so skate clean, it's yours.

I will.

That was a great skate for Odessa Patterson.

Here's her score... You see my mom yet?

Stay focused, Mattie. You know what's at stake.

This is your year.

And don't overthink the triple lutz.

You nailed it in warm-up. Don't rush the takeoff.

And our next competitor,

representing the Toronto Skating Club, is Mattie Dane.

You've got this, girl.

Hurry!

Stay focused, Mattie.

Here we go, Mattie.

Mattie!

Go!

The poor kid had a shot at getting a free ride, a grant.

She only needed to be in the top five.

She was the best one on the ice. She's worked so hard.

I've seen her land that jump a hundred times.

So how bad is it? Torn meniscus.

No skating for 12 weeks, then rehab.

No, I-I mean your financial situation.

Four months behind on rent.

Is there any severance pay?

From a used-car lot? Are you kidding?

Bummer.

Okay. Desperate times, desperate measures. Pack your bags, kiddo.

You and the girls are moving in with me. We can't do that.

The girls are in school. Our lives are here.

Appreciate the offer. I'll make it work.

I made the honor roll in high school.

No.

No college degree.

Yes, I know I haven't worked in a medical office,

but I'm real good with people.

I'm real good with people. I'm real good with people.

Okay.

Okay, I-I understand.

I did teach some fitness classes in my 20s,

and actually I did fitness modeling.

How old am I?

Kelly Dane? Yeah.

You've been served.

"Seventy-two hours to vacate the premises"?

- Are you kidding me? - Hey... Hey!

I could use a little help out here!

I thought Aunt Ginger lived in New York.

She retired and moved back home.

Yeah, she gave up her promising musical theater career.

At least she gave it a shot.

Forty years is more than a shot.

How far is Sudbury? Four boring hours.

There's a car dealership there I think I can get a job at.

-What about my skating? -We're dealing with a serious injury here.

I can still get better for nationals.

Baby, we just can't afford skating right now.

-Don't do this to me! -It's not all about you, Mattie.

We're gonna have to pitch in and make compromises.

Yeah, 'cause you can't keep a job.

- That's not fair. - This isn't fair.

Life is not fair, Mattie. Get used to it.

Hey, check this out. Are you cold?

Hey, hey. Emma, Mattie. Want anything?

It's been a good month but not great,

so I'm gonna do something to shake up the sales team.

I got someone new coming in... Thanks for showing up, guys.

Oh, no. You're giving her a job? A job here, with us?

Yes. She's not a local, eh?

She's got no customer base here. Yeah.

Who's she gonna call? She's got, like, no customers. Zero.

Actually, she's from here.

She is? Yeah.

Okay, but we've got a pretty tight team here. Yeah.

You know what an import would do to this team? Yeah, make it better.

Okay. Okay, look. I got an idea.

She doesn't make a sale in 30 days, she gotta go.

Give her 60 days.

Thirty days. Bam. Thirty days, gone.

She can do it. Okay.

But if she doesn't, she's gone. Fair bet? Huh?

- Huh? Huh? Huh? - Eh? Bet?

- Bet. Bet. - Huh? Huh?

- Uh... - Bet it.

All right, all right. It's a bet. All right.

All right.

Jerry? What?

Go. Just go. Meeting's over, guys.

Wow. Look at the houses.

Everyone must be rich on this street.

Is everyone rich in Sudbury? Is Aunt Ginger rich?

Hardly.

- I don't know. - She did all right.

- Better than we have. - Lighten up, Mattie.

We've got our health and each other. That ain't bad.

- Is this Aunt Ginger's? - Yeah.

I love it.

All right. Just leave the bags in the car, okay?

We'll go in and say hi.

Auntie Ginger?

Auntie Ginger, are you here?

She's not even home, Mom.

Really nice welcome.

Mattie give it a break. Geez. Language!

I said "geez."

You girls hungry?

- Girls, we've gotta go shopping. - Oh, crap!

I wanted to be here when you got here.

Auntie Ginger. Oh, hello!

Thank you. Oh, don't mention it.

Oh.

This must be Emma.

Oh, you're as pretty as your mom.

Well, not as pretty as me at your age, but still.

Very pretty. Oh!

Oh, and is this Mattie?

Holy mother of God, look at you.

I remember when all you did was crap your pants and pick your nose.

Oh, you poor thing.

How are you feeling? Hello?

Who's this? Emma. Who's this?

It's Louis. Louis, the car guy?

Yep. My mom can sell anything with four wheels and an engine.

That's true. She can.

Louis? Kelly?

-Yes. -Oh, it's so good to hear your voice.

You too.

I hope you like your rooms.

I've had so much fun fixing them up.

Okay, we're gonna get you settled, and then...

presents for all!

- Did she say presents? - She's trying to buy us.

I can be bought.

It seems like yesterday we were in high school, right?

When are we gonna see you down at the shop?

I want to get you starting sales right away.

You mean, I have the job?

Uh, of course you have the job. Are you kidding me?

-I'll see you Monday morning, then. -Oh, gosh, this is swell.

I can't believe you're here. Okay, see you Monday.

Ciao.

Bye.

Oh! She's back! Yes!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

And... this is your room.

Really?

This is for a four-year-old.

Have you guys seen my room?

Never mind. Yours is way worse.

You can make it your own.

Aunt Ginger just re-did it for me.

You know what, Mom? This really sucks.

We really didn't have a choice, Mattie Dane.

- You ruined my life. - I did not.

You were this close to being funded. You're the one that fell.

-Mom! -I can't believe you just said that.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

Okay, very calm, very relaxed, okay?

Be a good girl, Rose.

And...

frown.

You would not believe

who I just saw at the grocery store.

Who? No, no. You can't move, Rose.

Who? Can this wait?

No. Kelly Dane.

Rose! Kelly? Kelly Dane?
