妈妈:那么,你想说什么?你只是想毁掉我们为你做的整个计划,你要扔掉奖学金当个职业运动员吗?溜冰运动员的运动生涯有多长?8年?和过气的溜冰明星晃悠几年,就是这样吗?你的生活就结束了?
Casey: Mom, I just want to compete at Regionals.
Mother: Why? What do you have to gain by this?
Casey: I'm good.
Mother: So, what are you saying? You wanna just blow off our whole plan for you, chuck the scholarship and become a professional athlete? Case, what is the shelf life on an ice-skater? Eight years? And then a few years touring with Has-Beens On Ice. And that's it? That's the end of your life?
Casey: I love it, Mom.
Mother: Case, there's no shelf life on your mind. If I'd learned to use mine a little sooner, if I'd gone to college when I was your age, maybe we wouldn't be living like this. There's nothing wrong with the way we live. I've not been able to give you a quarter of the things I've wanted to.
Casey: You've given me everything.
Mother: Then you need to give me something now.
