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?

• Tina Harwood : [to Gen]  Where have you been? Are you are that aware you had practice half an hour ago?

  Gen Harwood : Yes, I'm aware.

  Tina Harwood : And?

  Gen Harwood : And I'm done.

  Tina Harwood : Done? Gen... what are you talking about?

  Gen Harwood : I'm quitting.

  Tina Harwood : You've got to be kidding. Don't get me wrong; I mean... that's ridiculous.

  Gen Harwood : No, I was ridiculous for putting myself through this for so long! We both know I don't have the talent.

  Tina Harwood : Gen, perseverance is nine tenths of mastering any sport.

  Gen Harwood : Do you know what I want? No, you don't know what I want because you never cared!

• Joan Carlyle : [to Tina]  How dare you! You think you can just waltz away after injuring my daughter?

  Tina Harwood : Don't tell me... it's Joan, right?

  Joan Carlyle : Pulling her away from her studies behind my back?

  Tina Harwood : I assure you, nobody pulled her.

  Joan Carlyle : And filling her head with a fantasy that she can skate and then sabotaging any chance she had?

  Tina Harwood : I did you both a favor. You didn't want this for Casey and you're right. She's not cut out for it. Is she gifted? I'll give her that, but Casey will never fight for it. And she's too polite to do what you have to do: which is to push past everyone and everything, and just take it.

  Joan Carlyle : So that's the example you set for your daughter: to lie, to sneak around, to steal and to cheat.

  Tina Harwood : I made my daughter strong, and you made Casey at home in a lecture hall. And she's going to do very well there. So you see? We agree.

  Joan Carlyle : My daughter is brilliant. She will succeed at whatever she does, but she will do it the right way, despite people like you trying to convince her otherwise.

• 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.

• Tina Harwood : Look, I'm sorry, but when the CIA wants to learn new dirty tricks they observe figure skaters and their moms.

• Tina Harwood : [turning to a group of students gathered nearby, listening to a fight between she and Gen]  If you have any sense of self-preservation, you will scatter.

• Tina Harwood : [about Casey's triple jump]  She figured that out on her computer.

  Gen Harwood : Mom, the computer can't make the jumps for you.

• Gen Harwood : [about Casey's improvisation in her program]  She deviated!

  Tina Harwood : And I'll bust her for it. Tomorrow.

• 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!

• Tina Harwood : [to Gen when she tells announces that she's quitting skating]  I'm listening.

  Gen Harwood : I wanna stop missing school. I like school. You know, it's stupid and the band will probably be horrible, but I wanna go to the homecoming dance, and I wanna go with Brian. I want to stop feeling an idiot for flunking math because I don't have time to learn it. And I want...

  Tina Harwood : All right. All right. I can see maybe we've overdone it.

  Gen Harwood : Overdone it?

  Tina Harwood : Just a little.

  Gen Harwood : Casey's skates, Mom.

  Tina Harwood : We'll continue this discussion at home.

• 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.
