02x12 - Icicle

[bunniefuu]

(upbeat music)

(shouting in excitement)

- Yeah.

(upbeat music continues)

(shouting continues)

- [Caitlin] It was Dori

and Jim's idea to drag me here.

They'd been waiting for the mountain

to open since August.

Brett, Eric and Griffen too.

They're total hot doggers.

- [Eric] Nice one Brett.

- [Caitlin] I bet it's way easier than it looks.

(upbeat music continues)

(shouting continues)

- Hey man, you got huge air on that 360.

- Yeah, I know man, but the snow's all tracked.

- Tracked?

- [Brett] If this squall comes in,

we're gonna get some nice crashing.

- Hey, Eric, let's go.

- Come on, Brett.

- You know what?

You're holding the board upside down.

(rock music begins)

- Upside down?

What if it's harder than it looks?

What if I fall?

What am I doing here?

(rock music continues)

- That's great you could fill in on such short notice.

k*ller flu is taken out like six of my instructors.

- Oh man, it's totally cool.

Now, you know,

my earliest memories of this place are,

falling on my face over in the bunny hill.

(Instructor giggles)

- Well, the beginners do get up close and personal

with the snow now, don't they?

So, here's your list of sign-ups.

- All right.

- I'll come out and check on you later.

- Okay, no problem.

(rock music continues)

Not too shabby.

- [Eric] It's strategy.

It's strategy and I should know,

'cause I'm the best.

- [Brett] If I play you,

you get so intense, man.

It's not even funny.

- [Eric] You haven't beaten even once.

- [Brett] I beat you every time I play you.

I can't believe you're talking like this.

I beat you every time I play you.

- What's going on?

- He's trying to get someone to play slap with him.

- That's so juvenile.

- It's just his chance to show off.

He's unbeatable, except for me.

- I'll play.

- Excellent.

Step in.

(rock music)

Wait a sec, what?

What's in it for me?

- Okay.

First of all, you're not gonna beat me.

And second of all, I'm not paying you a dime.

- Why don't you get her to take a picture

of you on your snowboard?

- Yeah, that's perfect, okay.

Yeah, take a picture of me doing a 360,

so I could decorate the new board I'm getting.

- All right.

- Come on.

If I slap you five times in a row,

you got to take my picture.

Boom! One!

(suspenseful music)

Two.

You're wasting my time now.

(slaps)

Loser.

(Eric laughs)

That's four, next slap wins.

(suspenseful music continues)

(shouts in pain)

Yes! That's it, I win! I win.

- No, you cheated.

- No I didn't.

I won that fair in square, right?

- Let's just get this over with.

- So I'm going down this k*ller sh**t, right?

It's got like 4,000 feet of vertical,

and I hit this sweet pocket of snow.

- Dude, you know, the only one who cares

about how good you are is you.

- Oh really?

- Really, yeah.

- You know what?

When you get to the top,

and you fall down,

make sure you roll out of the way.

'Cause I'm not gonna pick you up.

- Really?

- Really.

- I am not going to fall.

- Of course you will.

- Come on, watch it.

(Caitlin grunts)

- You got snow in your nose.

- You know, just because you board,

you think you're so cool.

You know where I come from...

- You know what?

It doesn't matter where you came from,

because you're here now

and you're a big zero.

- I'm going back down.

- No, you're not.

We had a deal.

- Too bad,

I wouldn't spend another second with you

if my life depended on it.

- I knew you would do this.

You're too useless to even get down the hill.

- I am not.

Hey, I can do anything you can!

Come on.

Don't fall.

Come on!

(rock music continues)

(rock music continues)

Where is he?

Eric, where are you?

- Coming through.

- Hey, watch it.

- Oh yeah!

Did you get that 360?

You didn't get it?

- Well, I mean, there's tons of people out here.

It's not my fault.

- You can't play slaps.

You can't snow board and you can't take pictures.

- Yes I can.

I just need the right conditions.

Just like you.

- Okay.

Well, then let's go higher.

The chair lift's that way.

- I knew that.

(rock music continues)

- Okay now, here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna give you a little push,

and whichever foot you step out with first,

is the foot you're gonna lead with on the board.

Okay?

Ready?

Okay, you're right footed.

Ready?

All right class, that's everybody.

- Honey?

- Don't call me that.

(giggling)

Now everyone's gonna suspect you're my parents.

- But we are.

- Okay,

I know that.

- Hey wait, I still don't know how...

- Look, I don't want the other students

to think I'm giving you guys

more attention than them.

- Well, there's not much chance of that, is there?

- All right class, follow me.

(perky music)

(suspenseful music)

- There's no one here.

- Yeah, so you'll have no reason to mess up.

Now, you're really gonna see some action.

- And you're really gonna see some pictures.

- How about I just whistle when I'm ready

so you can get focused,

that way you don't waste too many shots.

- Any picture of you is a wasted shot.

(rock music continues)

(rock music continues)

(shouting in excitement)

(rock music continues)

(Eric groans)

(groaning continues)

Eric!

Eric?

(groaning continues)

Eric?

Eric, are you okay?

- It's my arm.

- What about it?

- Don't touch it,

don't touch it, okay?

I dislocated it, I know, I've done this before.

We've got to pop it back into place.

You've got to get me down the hill.

- No, no, we can't move you.

I can do it.

I can do it, I've seen Dori do it before.

- I'm not an animal!

- Look, it's the only way to make it stop hurting.

Now what do I do?

- Get leverage.

Get behind me.

Rotate my, rotate my arm down and forward.

- Here,

you need to give me,

your jacket.

(breathing heavily)

(melancholy music)

Now,

hang on.

one,

two,

three.

(grunting)

It's not working.

- Pull it!

(Eric screams in pain)

- I'm sorry.

(Eric breathing heavily)

- Look away.

- What?

- Just do it.

(heavy sigh)

(Eric sobs)

(melancholy music continues)

(perky music)

(Dori yells)

(grunting)

- Good.

Now, keep leading with the foot

you're going down the hill with.

Okay.

(Dori's yelling continues)

(grunting continues)

You know, I was just thinking maybe the lesson,

you know, I could take you up on a higher run.

- Oh honey,

I think you're bending too much at the waist.

- Griff!

- Maybe some time, you know,

after we're done with the lesson.

- This is one time in my life,

I wish I was a 14 year old girl.

- [Griffen] So tell me about yourself.

- Griffen!

- Give me the whole life story of Christine Smith.

- You're getting the hang of it?

- I can't get used to not moving both my legs.

- Okay, that's easy.

Well you know, I was born, right here in Montana.

- I don't think snowboarding is for us.

- Well, you really should give it a chance.

- I think our son's got all the talent.

- You know?

- Griffen's your son?

- Yeah.

- Well don't give up just yet, okay?

(grunting)

- All right, I'll meet you at the chair lift?

- See you.

- Hey, Jonas.

- When your parents signed up,

they were really excited about boarding.

Now they're given up on it.

- Oh, well, you know, they're die hard skiers.

They don't like change.

- Yeah, I've been watching them.

They're having problems with their turns.

- Yeah, you're right.

They are kind of slow learners.

- I don't think they're the problem.

I mean you should have at least gone down

the hill a few times with them.

They're falling all over the place

and you haven't even shown them

the right way how to fall.

You know, they can get hurt.

- Actually, they're used to falling.

You know what? You should see the girls.

- Forget about the girls.

Your parents could get hurt.

(grunting)

I'm taking over the lesson.

(grunting continues)

- You mean I'm fired?

- Yeah.

So, I'm not gonna pay you

just to flirt with the girls.

(grunting)

- There.

That should protect it.

- Thanks.

- So,

I guess we just wait here

for someone to find us.

- We got to get down ourselves.

- Don't move.

- Isn't there supposed to be a ski patrol or something?

- The ski patrol is not coming.

- How do you know?

- The run's closed.

- Aren't they supposed to tell you that?

- Yeah, there was a sign, I took it down.

- What?

- Yeah well, that's why no one's on the run.

- What were you thinking?

- Don't yell at me, okay?

(heavy sigh)

Can you help me up?

- Yeah.

(melancholy music)

(heavy breathing)

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

(melancholy music continues)

- We've got to get off this run.

It looks like a storm is coming.

(heavy breathing continues)

- We're gonna freeze up here.

- I've been coming up here since I was little kid.

There's a supply hut up the hill.

If we get up there, we're all right.

Can you get my snowboard?

- No way, it'll slow us down.

- Well, I'm not just going to leave it here.

Where's your board?

- I don't know.

- I swear, when your arm heals,

I'm gonna break it.

(Eric groans)

(melancholy music continues)

- Stop.

- Come on, you have to, we'll freeze if we stop.

(Eric groans)

I'm sorry.

(melancholy music continues)

I wonder how long that wood will last.

- I don't know.

(Caitlin grunts)

(fire crackling)

- Do you..?

Sorry, go ahead.

- I was just gonna say that,

I think I got some really great shots.

You know, for your board.

- Great.

(Eric chuckles)

- What does it feel like?

You know, jumping like that.

- Speed's really cool.

It's like,

I ain't going so fast and so high

that the earth can't even hold you.

It's like you're hanging there,

and time just stops.

- Here.

- Jonas fired me.

What'd you say to him?

- Nothing.

But I wanted to tell him that

we didn't learn a thing

because you were too busy

with those girls all day.

- That's not true.

Look, I can teach you any time, all right.

I wanted the other students to learn.

- Really?

- You know what I think?

I think you're more interested in wearing that cool,

instructor's jacket than actually teaching anything.

- No, I wasn't.

Okay, okay.

So I'm guilty, all right.

I wanted some good looking girls to think

I was hot and they did.

- Griff, why is being cool so important to you?

- Get serious.

- I am serious.

You lost a job because of

some image you were trying to have.

So, I want you to think real hard about what it means.

- People like me,

and they listen to me,

and I get attention,

and I get respect.

- Respect is good.

- Yeah.

Those girls didn't respect me though.

They respected the jacket.

Now I'm a nobody to them.

(heavy sigh)

- Well, at least now you know that.

- Yeah.

I don't even respect myself.

I don't know, I really messed up.

- [Dori] Jim,

Caitlin and Eric are not back yet.

- They went up to a higher run.

- You mean they're out in this storm?

- I'm rounding up a group of people to go out

and search for them.

- I'll go.

- I'll go.

- No,

I need someone I can rely on.

- Look, please.

Caitlin's family.

Besides you hired me for the day.

And even if you don't pay me,

I'm gonna do a proper days work.

- Okay.

- You know how you,

you put my shoulder back into place back there?

- Yeah?

- Well it, really hurt Caitlin.

If you tell anybody that,

all I'm saying is,

I'm gonna tell people that you're full of it.

So, there's really no point in telling anybody.

- Look, I wasn't gonna tell anybody.

- You weren't?

- No, I mean,

what happened up there was like our thing.

- My dad would k*ll me if he found out.

(melancholy music)

No pain's too big for a rancher's son.

- When was the last time you cried?

- I don't know.

A long time ago when I was a little, like five.

It's different when you're a girl.

- No it's not.

Well, I mean maybe for some girls.

- You don't cry?

- I do sometimes,

because of my mom.

- She's not around,

anybody else?

- Never.

Well, unless I like totally lose it.

(Eric groans)

- Snow is stopping.

- How is anyone gonna find us?

They have an entire mountain to search.

- They're supposed to see the smoke from the fire.

(fire crackling)

(snowmobiles engine roaring)

- Maybe we should look up at devil's sh**t.

- What about icicle? Isn't it closed?

- No, they wouldn't be up there.

- Dad, we're talking about Caitlin and Eric.

- You're right, that's exactly where they are.

(engines roaring off)

(snowmobiles engine roaring)

- Smoke.

(snowmobiles engine roaring off)

(fire crackling)

- Do you hear something?

- They're looking for us.

Hey!

Hey, over here!

It's the ski patrol.

- Finally.

(distant snowmobiles engine roar)

(upbeat music)

- That's the picture that's

going on your new board.

- Oh man.

No way, give me the camera.

- No.

- You got to admit though,

I am the best snow rider

in the whole country, right?

(chuckles)

- Yeah, that's why you spend more time

on your butt than on the board.

- Says you.

(both giggle)

(upbeat music continues)

Thanks.

For the,

you know.

- Yeah, I know.

- There they are.

- And they look okay,

let's go.

- I thought there was only one thing

to know about Eric.

That he was a loud mouthed jerk.

I was wrong.

There's a lot going on inside of him,

but he's got to hide his feelings

to keep up his image.

It's not easy.

I should know.

I do the same thing every day.
