1:23:01
"Because you were
wonderful that night.
1:23:04
"I'd hate to think that what happened
would make you give it all up.
1:23:09
"You looked so graceful
and brave out there -
1:23:12
a different person from the one who
first walked into Miss Mitzi's studio.
1:23:18
"But a lot has changed for both of us
over the last few months.
1:23:25
"When my partner and I
went to Blackpool last year...
1:23:28
we were so excited
to make it to the finals.
1:23:33
"Everyone was convinced
that we were going to win.
1:23:36
And we wanted
to prove them right.
1:23:39
"We'd been together as a couple
for as long as we'd been partners.
1:23:42
"But we began training too hard.
Pushing each other. Expecting too much.
1:23:50
"Well, we didn't win.
Not even close.
1:23:57
"I came back without
my trophy or my partner.
1:24:01
"And all this time I've been
hiding out at Miss Mitzi's.
1:24:05
Angry at myself.
Frustrated and embarrassed.
1:24:11
"But coaching you and Bobbie,
seeing how alive you were out there...
1:24:16
made me realize
just how much I'd given up.
1:24:44
"And now,
for the first time in a long time...
1:24:50
I want to dance again.
1:24:54
"So I need to thank you -
thank you for helping me to see this.
