- 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: Don't say we are not right for each other, for the way is see it we might not be right for anybody else.
- 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.
- [last lines]
- Doug Dorsey: You didn't have to.
- 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!
- Doug Dorsey: Great Expectations.
- Kate Mosley: Well, it was either that or "Curious George Plays Hockey". I took a chance.
- Anton: Man and woman together make flower. Douglas, you are stem. Katya, you are petal. Together, we make flower.
- Jack Moseley: What about Spindler?
- Anton: Spindler? Spindler say before he skate with her, he wear garlic from neck and sleep with cross. Who is left?
- [speaks Russian]
- Anton: I am at bottom of barrel.
- Jack Moseley: Then you find another barrel.
- 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.
- Hale: I understand you've been giving Kate a rough time.
- Doug Dorsey: You know Kate.
- Hale: Yes, I do. And I don't like to see her upset.
- Doug Dorsey: If I was you, I'd invest in blindfolds.
- 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: 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?
- Doug: Hey, I'm sorry buddy, I wouldn't wish this on a snake. I'm outta here.
- Anton: [shouts in Russian] Enough! Introduction is over, conversation finished! Mouths closed, ears to be opened.
- [to Kate]
- Anton: Pairs means *two*. You have no partner. You are skating nowhere.
- [to Doug]
- Anton: And where are you going? Ohh, back to Siberia? Skating on small pond is big excitement. And believe me, Gretzky, I am last person who is coming to look for you.
- [pause]
- Anton: Good! We skate.
- 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: Well, actually, it's kinda interesting.
- Woman in Bar: I'll bet.
- Drunk: Tell him.
- Woman in Bar #2: We're waiting.
- Doug: I- I b- I been doin' a little- I been doin' a little figure skating.
- Drunk: Damn.
- Man in Bar: What'd he say?
- Walter Dorsey: You been doin' what?
- Old man in back of bar: Finger painting?
- Pamchenko: She is tremendous skater. Everyone is saying this. La petite, powerful, intelligent. But always is coming the big "B." What a bitch!
- [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]
- Lorie Peckarovski: Oh, we're definitely a team.
- Brian Newman: Definitely.
- Lorie Peckarovski: There's a real sense of togetherness.
- Doug Dorsey: Spirit.
- Lorie Peckarovski: Spirit. Family. It's,,, It's sort of,,, It's almost,,, It's almost...
- Kate Mosley: Orgasmic.
- Rick Tuttle: I wanna see your ass in the air!
- Kate: Until Hercules here learns how to lock his grip, this will have to do!
- [lifts up skirt, showing her butt, and skates around the rink]
- Walter Dorsey: [after Doug has just told him he's been figure skating] Are they gonna make you shave your legs?
- Doug Dorsey: Ah, screw this. I don't even know why...
- Walter Dorsey: [laughs] Gotcha!
- Kate: [referring to Doug] When we're through here, can we please teach it how to breathe with its mouth closed?
- Doctor: You got a blind side, Doug. It's a permanent condition.
- Doug Dorsey: So there's an operation, right?
- Doctor: I'm afraid not.
- Doug Dorsey: Some micro-laser thing. You open me up and...
- Doctor: Doug, I've specialized in ophthalmic surgery for over 15 years.
- Doug Dorsey: Okay, you don't do it, but somebody, somewhere, down in Mexico City, they shoot shark piss up your nose, you sit in traction for eight months.
- Doctor: Doug... I'm sorry. I don't see professional hockey in your future.
- Calgary Cop: Name, son?
- [as Doug is charging down the ramp to the arena, late for his Olympic hockey game]
- Doug: Dorsey, U.S. Hockey!
- Calgary Cop: Hell, son, they're just about to start!
