Hey Robin, how about a towel?

Thanks.

Why don't you watch where you're going?

You can go now, Robin.
Thanks for your help.

See you later, Mark.

Do you believe her.

Hi.

- You're crazy.
- Yeah, but at least I don't drool anymore.

Hey, Tommy.

- In a minute, Leo.
- Why are you out so late?

- I got an detention from Ms. Bukowski.
- Oh not again?

Yeah, she said she didn't want me
to wear clothes like this in her class.

So I... just took them off.

- Oh, you didn't.
- Yeah, right down to my underwear.

Ms. Bukowski turned this really neat
shade of purple. It's kind of artistic.

Hey... Tommy!

Have you studied
parsons test on thursday yet?

Oh not yet, no I've
still some reading to do.

Me, too.

Uhm, maybe me and you could get
together, you know, go to the library...

Tommy, there goes my bus, okay.
I'll see you later, bye.

Bye.

You're really sweeping her off her feet,
you romantic animal you

Leo you remember that Bills game
last weekend?

We're going to reenact it.

Hey,... Wait!

- What does a 300-pound canary say?
- What?

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Oh, Roy.

My cousin Fred says you're
getting better every day.

Well, Fred doesn't know
much about gymnastics.

Yeah, but he knows
talent when he sees.

Now get to back of the bus kid.

Thanks.

- You're late.
- I had to do some stuff.

Hey kid, you get any?
- Hey Robin, we've got a customer.

I fogot, I have to go.
I'll be back with that.

- Look, so inconsiderate.
- Can I get some service?

[ Music: "Baladoun" - Anyzette ]

Mom?

- Hi Mom.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Okay.

- I got your prescription at the drugstore.
- Oh, thanks.

So, how was your day?

- Uhhhmmm.
- Me, too.

Turn that crap off.

You didn't understand a damn word
what I'm saying, do you?

- Dumb foreigner.
- Thank you, sir.

- What's your excuse this time?
- I worked, the new teamleader...

You listen here young lady,

I'm getting a little sicker all the time
you're spending with the damn gym team.

- This business comes first.
- But I was trying...

What the hell's the matter with you?

I mean, look at you,
look at the way you're dressed.

You're dressed like one of those
damn lesbos's, or something.

Why don't you dress like your sister.

- Stepsister.
- What?

I'm sorry, Jack.

Smack.

And now live from news center in Buffalo
it's eyewitness news with Irv Weinstein.

Topping eyewitness news tonight
a spectacular gas well blaze...

Big night, tonight?

Who are you going out with?

I do not know yet.

Shit!

You, uh, you still seeing Joel?

Yes, but he's been really busy with his
new business. He's selling fish now.

- Fish?
- Yes, selling to all the pet stores in town.

We keep an eye on that boy.
He's got a good head on his shoulders.

Look Mom, why don't you lie
down. I can take care of these, okay?

No, we're almost finished.

Hey maybe you should see
Dr. Ruffen tomorrow.

He'll just give me some more pills
and tell me to get some rest.

Mom, working at the cleaners
doesn't help.

Now don't blame Jack. If things are
just a little tight right now.

You know how he is.

The only reason he pushes so hard is,
because well, he's got dreams.

Dad had dreams, too...
And I know if he had a chance...

Stop!

Baby, I miss him too.

I'll get it.

Hi, Bob. How are you?
I'm fine thanks.

That's for me.

Hi Bob.

- That was my creepy little sister.
- Stepsister.

No, I'm not doing anything tonight, Bob.

Bob? I thought she was going out with Joel?

Mom, Bob drives a new Corvette.
Then you should have known?

A ride in your car?
Of course I will.

- And where do you think you're going ?
- Just going to practice.

Couldn't you even spend one night in
the house? You'd treat this place like

it's a damn rooming house or something?

I gotta go. I won't be late.

Don't come happening here
like you did last night.

You made enough noise
to wake up the dead.

Well, all right.

Get out of my way.

Jack don't you think you had enough.

Don't tell me, what I can do
in my own house.

Jack you are drunk.

There you go. You're throwing
all back right to to my face.

I'm not good enough for you,right?

Right, you're not good enough for me. You're a
stupid jerk, I'll get away from you.

I'll get sick,here.

Then, get out of here!

I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it,
you hear me? You're a jerk.

Good afternoon Ms. Honstavich.
I'm certainly looking forward...

to a big heaping helping of your
delicious cream salmon today.

It's my fave!

You're looking lovely today, Ms.Honstavich.

Are you using a new razor?

- Tammy.
- Tammy, over here.

Can you go riding?

Do you mind if I sit here?

Sure.

Shit, the only new girl in school and all
she cares about is mark moneybag Sanders.

If you're so hot for her,
just go out and get her.

She doesn't even know I exist, Leo.

You gotta do something
to get her attention.

- Wear antlers on your head.
- Huh?

So she'll know you're horny.

You're a diseased person, Leo.

Listen you can't worry about Leah, huh?

She's got an ego bigger than her
charge account, if that's possible.

Yeah, well, she's the
best gymnast on the team.

All the more reason to hate her.
She eats like a pig, it's disgusting.

She just stuffs her face
and never puts on a pound.

I have to die like crazy to stay in shape.
Do you?

You're a gymnast aren't you?

I've seen you in the gym with equipment,
and you seem to know what you're doing?

Is that being nosy?

No, I competed a few years ago
back in my home in San Francisco.

- But that was a long time ago.
- You should come out and work out with us.

- Never mind. So who do you have for english?
- Ms. Gartz.

Oh, Ms. B.O. ('body odour'), gross, huh?

He is a beauty.

You're here to train, Stacy,
not to exercise your glands.

Thank you, Mark.

Ms. Stoller,
can I talk to you for a second?

Robin helps out in gym, because
she does gymnastics herself.

And I think she's good too.

Robin, come over here for a minute?

Why don't you show us a couple of free
hips in a dismart? Would you mind, Tammy?

- Ms. Stoller...
- Just a couple of free hits. Okay?

Okay.

This should be good.

Ouch.

- Very impressive
- Not bad.

Why don't you try it again.

- I'd better go.
- Do you believe her.

She is so pathetic.

Hey. How's it going?

Hey, I was wondering if like,
you know, me and you...

could get together tonight?
and... study, something like that?

I'm not in the mood, Tommy. Okay?
I want to be alone.

Okay, you want be alone.

Be alone. You got it!

It's not the end of the world, Robin.
You can always try again?

Mom, who you kidding.

Even if I could work myself back into
shape, it wouldn't do any good?

All the kids on the gym team think
I'm some kind of geek.

Maybe they are right.

Don't be like that, you know what I think,
I think you will compete again someday.

Someday?

Mom, that's what parents tell
their kids when they mean 'never'.

I remember,
the night the policeman came

...and told me that you and your dad
had been in the accident

And the first thought that...
that went through my mind was

Please...

...if one of them has to be taken,
don't let it be Robin.

She has her whole life ahead of her.
So much to do yet.

And I guess somebody heard me.

Please.

Don't let that prayer go to waste.

Fred?

Fred?

Fred?

Fred, are you here?

Fred?

Come on Fred, stop clowning around.

Come out, come out. Wherever you are.

- Police! Police! Stop it.
- Drop it now.

Kick it over here.

- On your stomach.
- Come on drop.

Jesus, it's just a kid, Harry.
Sorry to scare you.

There's been a lot of
break-ins around here lately.

You better find someplace else to play.

Now get out of here.

Now what's wrong?

You just keep to emotion.
There's no finish. None of that.

You are not putting any effort in it.

I don't have to.

- Leaving early again, Stacy?
- Yes, I have a date.

Just answer me one question, Stacy.
Are you a member of this team, or not?

Ms. Stoller, give me a break.
I do have a social life now.

Ms. Stoller, I have something to show you.

Okay.

Leah...

Wow!

- Way to go!
- Way to go, Robin.

Yeah, I still think Ms. Stoller
is taking pity on me.

Oh, the lady doesn't even know
how to spell the word.

Besides you made it. You're
the new member of the 'Flyers'.

- Hi, Carly.
- Hi.

I' won't be late tonight.

Mom, this is my friend from school,
Robin, this is my mom.

- Hi, Mrs. Tunis.
- Pleased to meet you, Robin.

- Oh, you won't forget to practice?
- Do I ever?

Come on, let's sweat.

Wow!

Yeah, my dad built it for me
after he and my mom broke up.

What you're looking at
is a massive guilt trip.

- What is your dad a millionaire or something ?
- Close, he's a doctor.

- Shall we dance?
- Shall we!

- You're amazing.
- Hardly.

Seriously, I can barely keep up with you.

How is your leg?

Well it still hurts a little bit,
but it's getting better.

- What happened to it?
- There was a car accident.

My dad was killed.

He helped me training, you know.

He was always there. Pushing me.
Making me work harder.

You know sometimes when I'm practicing...

I close my eyes...

and I can see him standing there,
just like before.

That makes me feel good.

But it's,...
it's not the same.

These fish are an ace investment.

Once people see these little
beauties, they are rolling in the dough.

They're pretty.

You better believe it they cost me enough.

They're the perfect pet,
eat hardly nothing,

they don't bark and
they practically live forever.

Joel, that one looks dead.

- First, Robin, come in please.
- Roy, Fred, what's happening?

Hey, I made it on the gym team.
I'm now a member of the 'Flyers'.

- Well how about that, you did it.
- Check her out...

...she's finally hit the big time.

Hey I hope you didn't get into
any trouble with the police, Fred?

Hey, no... I didn't get in no trouble.
I just got fired.

- Fired?
- Robin, don't blame yourself.

Fred never could hold on to a job.

Well that is a record
that I am deeply proud of.

You know, you think after
all these years around the world,

the city will pay for my dry cleaning.

Uh, we have a stain here, Robin.

I'm sorry, look we'll do it over again.
No charge, Roy.

- What do you think you're doing?
- I was just gonna do this shirt over again.

I'm breaking my back around here
to get this place out of the hole.

And you're gonna start
handing out damn free.

- Well, I was just trying to...
- Don't you talk back to me.

- Hey man, no harm done.
- You keep your nose out of this.

- Hey man, don't get upset.
- No.

Considerate brat, people coming in...

Hey look, see we're paying
for the shirts, okay? No harm done.

This Sucker is lucky my cousin
is holding me back.

- See you later, Robin.
- This Jack, what the hell he thinks he is?

- I'm sorry, Jack.
- I swear sometimes I...

Jack!

Sorry, Marge.
I never would have done that.

I swear that kid of yours
is gonna be the death of me.

I just want you to remember something.

As far as I'm concerned
you're not a member of this team.

You you never were,
and you never will be.

Leah, I don't want a fight.

You've already got one.

I don't have to remind you,

that the state of regional finals
are just a few short months away.

Every year in the past
the 'Flyers' have managed to come out

of those regionals without
a single gold medal.

I hope you're as ashamed of that record,
as I am.

In the next few weeks...

I shall be choosing three girls to
represent this team at that meet.

But let's get something straight,
right now.

I'm looking for winners.

It's merely you can't take
a little competition?

Let's teach her a lesson she won't forget.

I don't pay attention to her,
so that she pays attention to me.

Bingo.

- Leo, this is stupid.
- Tommy, when you grow up...

Girls go nuts, when you ignore them.

If she sees that you're not interested
in her, she'll be drooling for you.

- Here, put these on.
- What for?

Just do it.

- Uh, I can't see anything.
- She comes.

- Leo, if this does'nt...
- Trust me.

- Does she see me ignoring her yet?
- Shhh! Not yet.

- Is she looking yet?
- Not yet, she's reading something.

- Really, what's she reading?
- What the hell should I know?

- Is she drooling yet?
- She is gone.

- Leo, what happened?
- I don't know.

She read this note, she got a really
weird look on her face and she ran away.

Shit! I'm sick of playing this game.
I'm not playing it anymore.

From now on, I'm a free agent.

Look out girls,
it's open season on Tommy Wernick.

Drop by my place tomorrow night
at eight for a party.

It'll be wild so dress funky.
Love, Mark.

I don't believe it?
We're moving up in the world, aren't we?

I'll go shopping tomorrow for some clothes.
You wanna come?

Shopping?
You've just said the magic word, all right.

Oh this is a joke, right?
It's going to be fantastic, you'll see.

Do they take credit cards?

Oh god.

Outraging.

This clothing.

I've never seen anything like this before.

- Who is she?
- How did she get in here?

Who let her in?

May I help you young lady?

Yes.

No one ever told me this party
was gonna be formal.

Really.
Your invitation, let me see it?

This is not the proper invitation.

- But I was...
- Dad?

I think it would be best,
if you turned around and left.

- My god a crasher.
- I'm sorry.

- Robin, wait.
- What was she doing here?

- Do you believe her.

Anybody home?

Good night, little bird.

Listen, I know...
That looks like fun but...

Flight, energy,
flawless concentration.

This is the competition.

Well, there she is girls,
Rhonda Hamilton.

The 'Niagara Falls Rockets'
are counting on this girl

to win them the
regional tournament this year.

I'm sure you're all aware that she
scored a perfect 10 last summer in Tokyo.

For the next two months, that's
what I will demand from you.

Anyone who wants to compete in those
regionals has to give me just one thing:

Perfection.

Tommy.

- He's got stamina doesn't he?
- Carly, there's got to be some...

..way to make him notice me?

You have a fry?

No. We've gotta lose five pounds
by the end of the week.

What kind of diet do you want?

I wake up in the morning
and I take a deep breath of air.

And that's it.

I'm kidding.
I wish.

I 'm just cutting down. I gotta
go study for this test tomorrow.

Good luck with Tommy.
Keep swinging. Talk to you later.

See you tomorrow.

Hi!

Tommy!

Tommy! Tommi!

- Look isn't it cute?
- Let's throw out some peanuts.

Who's your last trainer, Robin,
someone with the whip in a chair maybe?

Back off, Leah.

You're a joke.
Everyone on the team knows it.

We can flip circles around you
anytime, anywhere. You are sucking.

You're crazy.

I'll prove this.

Stacy, Go!

Oh, flight. Did you see that?

- What the hell is going on here?
- She started it, Ms. Stoller.

I don't care who started.

It was incredibly stupid.
You should both have known better.

Now go Home.
All of you. We'll talk about this later.

- We'll see you later.
- I'm very disappointed in you, Robin.

Damn.

Cheerio.

Bit shaky, Carly.
Try your back handspring.

- Carly?
- Yes, okay. Perfect 10, coming.

- I think you'd better come down, Carly.
- No, I'm okay. Just watch.

Carly!

- Go and get me the first aid kit.
- What, what's wrong with her?

Do it!

- You want to tell me about these, Carly.
- What about this?

- It's not a big deal.
- Isn't it?

When when did you last eat, Carly?

I starve, I'm on a diet.
That pills just give me energy.

- You're starving yourself.
- I eat more than enough.

Tell me carly how does it work?

Do you eat something then force yourself
to vomit? Would you take laxatives?

- Carly, what are you doing with those pills?
- Oh, come on, just shut up.

This is so stupid.
Stupid.

I'm calling your parents, Carly.

And if they don't take you to a doctor,
I'm going to drag you to one myself.

What a joke. My dad's a doctor.
How do you think i got the pills?

I can't stop gaining weight.
I've tried everything.

I just can't.

Ms Stoller, please don't tell them.
They're gonna hate me.

Look, maybe Joel just got tied up
or something.

Sure.

- How's Bob doing?
- He's just fine.

He's been going out with
Laura Pennington lately.

- I'm sorry, I didn't know that.
- I thought half the city knew by now.

God I'm stiff. I didn't realize...

how out of shape I was, until I started
getting back into training again.

Robin, have you got a boyfriend?

No.

It's my fault, I guess.

There's this one guy, but...

I don't think he isn't
interested in me anymore.

Take it from me:
Guys aren't worth a shit.

Come on, Gillian.
You can't really mean that.

Maybe it's just me.

You know, I really don't have time
for that kind of thing anyway.

I mean, Ms. Stoller,
she's got us so busy, you know,

to get back into shape
for the original meets.

I guess if you win, the prize money
would be pretty good?

- There's no prize money, Gillian.
- What?

Yeah, the medals aren't even real gold.

Sounds like a pretty rotten deal
to me, kid?

Oh no, Gillian, it's not. Really.

I don't know,

for me ...when I'm out
and tumbling across those mats

I change.

It's like a whole other kind of world.

Someplace...

...better.

When that happens,
it's like nothing can touch me.

I guess that's how birds must feel
when they're flying.

Do you have felt like that?

No.

But I wish I could.

I think Tommy is kind of cute, don't you?

Oh Robin, I'm so sorry.

Oh what's the matter, Leah?
I thought that cats like milk?

Did it, solid.

I will now announce my three choices.

When these girls go to the regionals in
niagara in fall next month,

I expect one of them to
come back with a gold medal.

I won't accept anything less.

I hope you won't either.

Leah Kilbourne.

Tammy Yamada.

Robin Crew.

What?

Stacy, your backup.

If for any reason one of the competitors
drops out, then you will take her place.

- How dare you choose her over me.
- She works, Stacy.

All the time,
not just when she feels like it.

You can't.

One more word from you, young lady.

Not only will you lose your backup reserve,
you'll be kicked out of the team as well.

None of these choices are written in stone.

I can change the competing team anytime.

If any of you fail to impress me, then...

I'll be glad to replace you with
someone who can.

- Carly.
- Hey I heard the news. Congratulations

You've deserved to be going
to that meet, more than I do.

- Come on, I blew it by myself, Robin.

I need a break anyway.

About the stuff I said earlier,
you know... I didn't mean it, huh?

I's okay.

I want to get some extra
training before the regionals.

I got this empty gym with its
own private rooting section.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Thanks.

- I'm starved, you know.
- What?

I think we need these cheeseburger to celebrate.

Please, get cheeseburgers.

Hey wait.

Go!

- You want to go somewhere and talk?
- Where?

I don't know, the park?

Give it a try. Give it a try,
three balls for a buck.

Knock down the cans and win a prize.

You, yeah, you...
show the little lady how it's done.

Come on three balls for a buck,
be a man.

I can't especially waited you know.
It's just a cheap like everything else.

- Tommy.
- Oh don't you get it?

I spent my whole summer
working in the carnival.

Conning people, just so I could
get some cash in my pocket.

I'm not rich like Mark Sanderson.

I wasn't interested in
Mark Sanderson for his money.

What then, his looks? Oh, I guess
I'm just not pretty enough for you.

- That's not fair.
- Fucking right, it isn't.

That's all there is.

It's just me, Tommy Wernicke.

If that isn't good enough for you,
let's just forget it.

Tommy!

[Music: "I'm Working On It" - Robin Rountree with Bebe ]

Come back here. Oh, come on, Tommy.
I told you it's not my fault.

Yeah, you're just walking along.
Get out of here.

Come on.

- What's the problem.
- Get out of here, okay.

That's not fair.

Mom!

Hi. Gillian said, that you
didn't go to work today.

Oh, yeah, I just was feeling
a little worn out.

Truth is I'm goofing off.

Mom, I made it. Ms. Stoller picked
me to compete in the regionals.

Oh my God!

- I'm so happy for you it's wonderful.
- Wait, that's not all, Mom.

I met this boy.

Well, I didn't really meet him, but..
we've known each other for a while, but

Well, he and I... just kind of like,
you know what I mean?

Yeah, you know it should be.

I can't wait till you see me.
I can't wait till the regionals

which seem, I mean, I'm gonna
blow them out of their shoes.

I'm going all the way with this one, Mom.

- Where do you think you're going?
- I think you could go dad.

Since when the hell do you give
all this around here?

Now you leave, when I say you leave.
And not a minute sooner, you understand?

- No, Jack.
- What?

No. For once you're not gonna
get your own way.

Don't you touch me.

Don't you ever raise your hand at me again.

By the way:

I quit.

That's beautiful.

If there's a Robin Crew out there
we have an urgent call for you.

Please go to the desk at the back.

- What's going on?
- They just took my mom to the hospital.

- Look, I've gotta go, Tommy.
- I'm good, okay.

Look, I've got to see her.

Robin, wait.

Robin!

Robin!

She's in a better place now, Jack.

Mom wanted you to have this.

She was really looking forward
to seeing you compete again.

Robin.

You know where I'll be.

You can come back here, you know.
This is your home.

No.

It's not anymore, Jack.

You know, I'm not sure
if it ever really was.

You know something, Robin?
You never once called me dad.

Because you never gave me a reason to.

Did I tell you it's crazy
to go back into training?

Yes, you told me.

You don't have to do this, you know?

I have to, Tommy.

It's like my whole life is coming
down to this, you know.

If I back out now...

I don't think I'll ever
be able to forgive myself.

How long are you staying at Carly's?

I do not know.
At least until after the meet.

And after that...

I don't know.

It was Mom gone, and uh...

If you need a place to stay
my parents are gone away for the weekend.

You could sleep on the couch.

I sleep on the couch.
You could have the bed?

We could just both, kind of...

I don't know, ..we could both
sleep with the dogs or something.

- No man, you can't.
- Come on. Let me just see your room.

Oh Tommy, it's disgusting.

- It's really bad.
- Let's go.

What a mess!

What is this, Tommy?

We'll finish this later, Stacy.

- Well I'm back, good as new.
- Robin, I must be honest with you.

- You always have been?
- No, no I haven't.

You're good, don't ever think you're not,
but you're still rough.

I was good enough to
make the competition team?

I had another reason
for putting on the team.

Leah is the best gymnast we have.
At least she can be, when she works hard.

But she wasn't.
She wasn't hungry enough.

She's the best and she knows it.

She needed needed someone to push her.
Someone to compete against.

So you made me the competition.

When I saw you both in the driving.

I saw a fire in Leah, that I haven't seen
in months it made all the difference.

- You set me up.
- I've put Stacy on the team.

She's better than you.
I'm sorry, Robin.

- You said you wanted winners.
- Robin.

I'm not gonna let you take this
away from me Ms. Stoller.

You said you wanted a fighter.
Well, you've got one.

I'll prove myself to you.

- I suppose I can't stop you.
- I'm taking this all the way, Ms. Stoller.

Come on Robin, that's enough.

No.

- How long you're going to keep this up?
- Until I'm perfect.

Well here we are.
Looks like a place.

- Well, here goes nothing.
- Are you feeling okay?

I feel like I'm gonna run home screaming.

Robin, I...

- I lov...
- Me, too.

I'll see you inside.

So that's the great Rhonda Hamilton.
She's not so hot.

Are you scared?

No.

So am I.

Testing, testing. One, two, three.

Attention, please.

Would all competing gymnastic
teams please assemble for the first event.

Thank you.

Okay.

It's show time.

Terrific.

That was perfect.

Don't worry about it.

Pay attention. Now we
get our perfect gymnast.

Ladies and gentlemen,...

Rhonda Hamilton of 'Niagara Falls Rockets'
has dropped from the competition.

No good, ..that means her arms..

Leah Kilbourne of the 'Buffalo Flyers'
is now at first place.

Yes, that's it for the bars.
We'll see outside, okay?

I'll see you, when you've changed.

The competition will resume with
the final floor routines at six o'clock.

- Gold always was my favorite color.
- But it's a pretty lousy way to win, Leah.

There's no bad way to win. But then you
wouldn't know anything about winning?

Nice try, Robin.

- Oh god, whoever that is, thanks.
- No charge.

Roy, Fred, you guys made it.

Hey, you think we missed a chance
to see our star in action?

Some star, I'll be lucky if
I can hold on to second place.

Leah is close to getting that
gold medal then she ever was, now.

Rhonda is out of the running.

I got something to show you, girl.
You're coming with me.

I can't. The floor routines are
gonna start a couple of hours.

You'll be back in plenty of time.

- We're going for a walk on the falls.
- Okay.

Hey, what falls?

His name was Blondin and he was the
greatest acrobat that ever lived.

He walked that wire across
the falls a hundred times.

Whether fog, ice, rain,
he survived it all.

He didn't know fear and nobody ever
duplicated what he did.

Blondin didn't think about winning. And he
wasn't worried about beating anybody.

When he was doing
all those amazing things,...

Do you know the one thing
he was thinking about?

Just getting his ass across the falls.
That's all.

Getting his ass across the falls.

Now you think about that,
before you go back into the auditorium.

She's got five minutes left.

What's the matter aren't you happy?
Seeing your old man?

Jack!
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I got it to far.
I just wanted to see you compete.

Don't you apologize for me. I was thinking
you got to apologize for the old man.

I can take care of myself.
I don't need anything.

- I have got to go.
- You gonna stay right here.

Jack, please.

- You're gonna listen to me.
- Jack, let it go!

You don't walk out on me.
Nobody walks out on me.

I'm gonna teach you a lesson.

Ou!

You keep alone!

Ou!

Shit!

- Are you okay?
- Don't worry about me.

Come on. Come on.

Would you come on.
Leah is doing her floor routine right now.

Damn it!

Get your stuff off. Let's go.

I can't look now.
Tell me when it's over.

No problem.

That was terrific.

- What's her score?
- 9.6. She's got first place.

Very well done.
