We actually made it, guys.
Can you believe it!? I know! The US Training Center! Next stop, Olympic Village! Make some noise, girls and boys Let the sound of your voice Get you out of your seat Everybody say Payson, Kaylie, Lauren.
Individually, they're as good as anyone at this camp.
But, together? Together they are unbeatable.
Payson Keeler.
Solid.
Dependable.
But since her back surgery, I haven't seen anything special.
- You think she's peaked? - Absolutely not.
That one-legged landing at Worlds was a stunt.
who'll give you everything you ask and more.
She has not peaked.
Well, her D score is low.
Does she have a triple anything anymore? Her E score is through the roof.
And her difficulty score will improve.
That's what she's doing here, right? Lauren Tanner.
Word around the NGO is she's a spoiled princess.
And by NGO you mean Ellen Beals? The girl can wear a damn tiara as far as I'm concerned.
All I care about is, is she coachable? Yes she's coachable.
And she'll bring you enormous scores on beam.
Right.
She's a specialist.
And I need every girl to be all around.
Kaylie Cruz We're working on a two-and-a-half twist on her floor.
She should have it ready in time for London.
Impressive, coach.
But I was going to ask about her eating disorder.
Where is she with that? She got the help she needed.
It's under control.
Plus she has a good support system.
Her friends? Payson and Lauren? How supportive you think her friends will be if it comes down to them or Kaylie Cruz for a spot on the Olympic Team? These Rock girls are special.
They truly believe that, together, there is nothing they cannot achieve.
- And I believe that, too.
- Great.
Thing is, how good can they be without each other? Hmm? Can they handle that? One may make it.
Two may make it.
None of them might make it.
The best of the best are here.
You never know who might step up and take their place.
Nice boots.
Looks like you put some miles on 'em.
Thrift store.
Came that way.
So, where you from? No place special.
Ya gotta be careful out there.
It can be dangerous.
I know how to take care of myself.
Go ahead.
I'm not gonna eat it.
Um I was born in Pittsburgh, but, uh I've lived all over the east coast.
Five towns.
Five different families.
Thanks for the lift, Marge.
Good luck, Jordan.
Luck's got nothing to do with it.
Seriously? A cappuccino machine? Alex wouldn't even let Kaylie bring a TV.
We've been over this.
She's here to train, not watch television.
Remember what it was like when you went to college? Brought a hot plate and ramen noodles.
Thought I had it made.
Beanbag chair for me.
No, no, no.
Please, no stories of the olden days.
And this isn't college.
We've got to get you moved in, so let's get some pictures, huh? Lots and lots of pictures so I can remember what you look like.
- Come on.
- Here we go.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Now move a little closer together.
I always knew this was how it was going to be.
Us.
Being here.
Training for How the Olympic Team.
be? Uh scootch a little to your right.
Scootching! Other girls come, other girls go OK, look this way.
But in the end, it's just us.
One-two-three, three-two-one.
Nothing's ever going to separate us.
Smile, girls! I'm taking off, taking off for the weekend - Surprise! - Oh.
Ew! Oh Oh! What is that? I'm developing my own fragrance.
My dad's working on a deal with QVC! Isn't it amazing!? If you like the smell of bug spray.
I'm calling it "Winner".
Because who doesn't want to smell like a winner, right? Maybe you should just bottle sweat, since that's what it takes to be a real winner.
Pay, can we finish up here later? I'm supposed to meet Austin.
Sure.
- You excited to see him? - Yeah.
He's been training here for a week already with the boys and it's been the longest we've been apart since Worlds.
Poor baby.
I haven't seen Max in months.
But, in a way, I feel closer to him than ever.
He writes the most amazing letters.
What are you, Amish? Who writes letters anymore? I know it's old-fashioned but that's what I love about it.
His letters are thoughtful and so romantic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, what does he write you? I want details.
Spillage.
It's none of your business.
In other words, they're boring.
Or dirty.
Is Max sending you dirty letters?! If he was, I wouldn't spill.
Fine.
You know, I almost feel sorry for the two of you, being stuck with boyfriends.
Oh, this oughta be good.
I'm serious.
We're gonna be here for eight weeks, on a campus filled with hundreds of gorgeous, homesick, lonely boys.
Who happen to have the best bodies in the USA.
And, since we're finally allowed to date without having to sneak around, I, for one, plan on making their stay a little less lonely.
- Oh, no.
No! - Get it out.
Out! Beautiful, like a dream Wouldn't change anything 'Cause I gotcha What's with the rubbing? Everyone, meet Otis.
It's a tradition to rub his head for luck.
- Who was he? - Track-and-field official.
He was killed on campus a long time ago.
- What happened? - Death by javelin.
He was looking down when he should've looking up.
That's tragic.
True.
But somehow Otis's misfortune has become our luck.
Better rub him while he's still here.
Is he going anywhere? He's a victim of tradition.
Every year a team steals him.
Then another team steals him back.
Whoever has him at the end of camp always medals at the Olympics.
Oh.
Whoa, whoa! Whoa, easy there.
I'm just a little light-headed.
Probably the altitude.
I'm going to miss you.
Hey.
Me, too.
Listen, I've done a little research on Coach McIntire and he puts a lot of stock in first impressions.
The sooner you can show him what you've got, the better.
Understand? So, when you come to visit, um, will you bring Dad? You know he'll be here.
Even if we're not together.
Come here.
Can I count on you to keep an eye on my little girl? Absolutely.
100 percent.
Make it 110 percent.
So, you sure you have everything you need? Yeah.
And if I don't, I can just borrow it from Lauren.
I'm going to miss you, kiddo.
Well, if you ever want to see me I'll be right here.
Man, who knew when we used to stop you from flipping over the top rail of the banister when you were three that we would end up here? I am so proud of you.
Dad Coach McIntire? My name is Jordan Randall.
I know who you are.
I'm here to try out for the team.
Darling, you need to be invited to camp.
By me.
And I did not invite you.
I know that.
But I think you should make an exception.
- And why would I do that? - Because I'm better than the girls you invited.
I was junior champion four years ago And you were a source of trouble at every club you trained at.
- I can explain - Not interested.
You haven't competed in a sanctioned event in two years.
Do I have my facts right? - Yes.
- Then we're done here.
Go home.
You all know how proud I am of what you accomplished.
But this is where the real work starts.
What's Coach McIntire like? He's a fair man.
And I expect you to show him the same respect you've shown me.
Sure, but we'll never like him as much as we do you.
You bloody-well better not.
Wait, one last "Rock On?" For the next eight weeks you need to forget about The Rock.
Your focus belongs on making the Olympic Team.
Payson.
Go.
It might be that kiss you've been waiting for.
Tag.
You're it.
Think you could hold on to that until London? This is our last run, isn't it? This is where your dreams become a reality or where they're left to die.
It's up to you.
Hey, hey! Hey, yo, yo, yo! Hold that girl, man! She stole my phone! Yo, she stole my phone! Hold it right there, miss! I left my jacket on the bench.
My phone was in the pocket and she was the only one there.
Are you crazy? Man, check her bag.
I guarantee you that's where it's at.
I've never seen this guy before.
Are you sure this is the girl? Definitely.
I'd know that smell anywhere.
It's pretty hard to miss.
Why don't you let me take a look in that bag.
Knock yourself out.
Whoa, this is embarrassing.
Wrong pocket, man.
I had it the whole time.
I'm sorry.
My bad.
You used me.
Welcome to the TC.
Hey, do you have anything for 305? Yeah, I do.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Lauren Tanner? - What's going on? - Nothing! I wasn't - Who are you? - Oh Wendy Capshaw, juniors champ.
Your beam in Rio was totally amazo.
The standing- full-twisting-back-salto was a little Shawn Johnson, but if you're going to borrow, borrow from the best, right? - Were you in - Rio? No.
But I saw it all on TV.
You are so much prettier in person.
I guess I'm lucky.
I'm just as pretty on TV.
Yeah.
I should probably Yeah, me too.
But maybe we can hang later.
I really want to know everything about you.
Like what's your favorite color? Mine's purple, like Barney.
I used to be crazy about him.
He was so optimistic.
Just like me.
I knew I was going to win juniors this year.
Just like I know I'll make the Olympic Team.
I already have a higher point total than any of you seniors.
How old are you? I turn 16 the day the team flies to London.
Crazy, right? I'll be peaking just in time.
Yeah, crazy.
So much for "all for one and one for all.
" What are you talking about? Kaylie's still MIA.
I'm not waiting up for her.
Oh, they said downstairs that you picked up the mail.
Was there anything for me? No.
Were you expecting something? Max knew this was my first day.
I hoped there be a letter.
Hey, roomies.
I'm sorry, do we know you? The face is vaguely familiar.
I know, I know.
I'm sorry I bailed on you.
Austin wanted me to meet his friends and we lost track of time.
It's fine.
There's a party we can all go to tomorrow.
Forget tomorrow.
I want to do something fun now.
Just the three of us.
What'd you have in mind? Well - Woo! - Wrestlers are gonna medal! Only if you can hang on to Otis! OK.
Hey guys, wait up.
This is epic.
Think of all the Olympic champions who have trained here.
And now us.
Speaking of Olympic glory.
Bronze, silver, gold.
What's it going to be? OK Maybe we should take turns.
OK, you first, National Champion.
Well, don't mind if I do.
- Kaylie! Yeah! - Yeah! America! OK, your turn.
- Go, Lauren! - USA! She tripped getting up there.
- OK.
- Hoping that doesn't really happen.
- Payson! - OK, now together.
Together.
Ooh, you OK? Yeah just a little dizzy.
It's your perfume, Lo.
It's making me dizzy.
I'm just excited.
This is amazing, isn't it? We're really here.
Nothing compared to what we'll feel in London.
Imagine it.
We've dreamed of this.
And now we're here, together, let's promise not to let anything or anyone get in way of us going all the way.
Lauren, honey Look, slow down, sweetie.
You're not making any sense.
What do you mean, "Winning makes you sick?" No, not winning, Winner! My fragrance! We have to change the formula.
I think something in it makes me dizzy, Dad.
Well, ha Have you seen a doctor? No, I'm fine.
I just can't wear that perfume anymore.
And I definitely cannot put my name on something that makes people sick! OK, I'll handle the perfume.
You just concentrate on why you're there.
To make the Olympic Team.
I know, I know.
'Cause if you don't, Kaylie and Payson will.
It's every girl for herself.
Understood.
Good.
Look, I gotta go.
Oh, and uh I love you.
I love you too, Daddy.
I don't like being stalked.
And I don't like being told to go home.
So, guess that makes us even.
If you're trying to charm me, you're making one sorry ass mess of it.
Charm is for beauty pageants.
I'm just here to make the Olympic Team.
What's that? I borrowed your camcorder.
You need to see what I can do.
Did you also borrow my gym? Find out.
Watch the video.
I will not watch that video and I will not tell you this again, go home.
I am home! Come on, guys.
Let's go.
Oh, Payson, look what came.
Your letter from Max.
I told you it'd come.
- Thanks.
- Aren't you going to read it? Not now.
I don't want to be late for our first practice.
- We have time.
- And you were so anxious to get it.
I know that this is gonna sound pathetic, but reading his letter is as close as I get to being on a date with him.
I just want to wait for tonight.
Wow.
That really doesn't say much for your dates.
What do those numbers mean? That's Coach McIntire's ranking system.
Uh, how do you know that? I've researched everything about him.
He likes to change the rankings every day, based on statistics, intel, his gut.
He personally coaches all the girls on the left side of the board.
The girls on the right get the assistant coaches.
You do not want to be on the right side.
That's like one step away from packing your Hello Kitty bag.
Well, you're OK.
You're number four.
He's just trying to motivate me.
I'll be higher soon.
Later gator.
And now I know why alligators eat their young.
It's time to man up, ladies.
Five-pound ankle weights.
Laps.
Let's go! Pick it up ladies! One day at this camp is worth one week anywhere else.
If you think I'm being unfair, hey, the door's right over there.
Olympic Trials are eight weeks from today.
Look around you.
Not all of you will be here when that day arrives.
At least one-third of you will be going home before then.
The team chosen to go to London will be made up of only five girls.
Five.
There's the three of us.
Who else? - Who cares? - True.
Your team affiliation or your club affiliations do not interest me.
I am looking for five outstanding individuals who can stand strong alone and in any combination.
Off your toes.
- Lauren, are you OK? - Lo, what happened? Back in line.
Back in line! Hello! Back in line! I didn't give permission to stop.
I'm fine.
Go see the nutritionist.
She'll decide.
I do not have time for girls who do not take care of themselves.
Move.
Do not bend your knees.
I want you to follow this diet plan to control your blood sugar.
Pay attention to the glycemic index of the foods you're eating.
And do not skip any more meals.
I won't.
I just got busy this morning.
That's no excuse.
There's always time to eat something.
Keep a few of these on hand.
And if you have any more dizzy spells, I want to know about it.
This is not the time to be taking chances with your health.
- Got it.
- OK.
You don't need to tell the coach I skipped breakfast, right? I don't keep anything from Coach McIntire.
If there are no more dizzy spells, you have nothing to worry about.
- Thanks.
- Of course.
Well? I'm fine.
She prescribed a couple of these.
Gag me.
Glad to be of service.
Now let's go to the party.
Um, I'll actually meet you there - 'cause I have to meet up - Austin? Quelle surprise.
Ha ha! Temporary setback.
I'll be back on top before you know it.
How's Lauren Tanner? Slight hypoglycemia.
She should be fine.
I'll make sure and keep an eye on her.
No.
Mm-mm.
I am not Say hypoglycemia again.
You're sick, you know that? - Hypoglycemia.
- Mm.
I love the way you make everything sound sexy.
Oh, don't start something you can't finish.
I never do.
- Oh yeah? - Mm-hm.
Well then you should call your wife and tell her you're gonna be home very late tonight.
Mm-hm.
Oh, oh - Hey, sorry I'm late.
- Hey.
Where's loverboy? You have him surgically removed from your hip? That's easy for you to say.
You're in a long distance relationship.
Oh, you think that's easy? I'm jealous you and Austin get to spend so much time together.
Well, sometimes I'm jealous of you and Max too.
I mean, I'm crazy about Austin, but it's a lot of, um, - couples time.
- Mm.
Yeah.
And I got to say, Lauren was right.
There are a lot of hot guys here.
Just saying.
None as cute as Austin, but I'm not blind.
Where is Lauren? Mingling.
She's not blind, either.
Hey.
Name's Rigo.
Got a question - Not interested.
- Hold on, princess, I wasn't Do yourself a favor, Rigo.
Get a real name and then troll for a hook-up someplace else.
- I'm out of your league.
- Yeah, you're right.
I don't play in the minors.
Good news! I was telling the marketing company about us.
The reps want to meet you.
Um Austin thinks that we can sell ourselves as a "golden couple.
" - Go! - Yeah.
Go spend some time with your boyfriend.
I'm gonna head back to the dorm in a bit and spend some time with mine.
OK.
Have fun, now.
You too.
Have I told you how glad I am that you're here? How seeing your smile brightens my day? I hope your friends don't think I'm taking up too much of your time.
No.
No, of course not.
They get how important you are to me.
Hey you, it's war So where's Otis? Tucked away in a safe place.
Why? You Barbies never get it.
Oh, I get plenty.
I'm talking about Otis, here.
You gymnast types never even try to steal him.
Come on, Jake, let's tell her.
It's not like she can get him.
Stay out of this, Tug.
You don't have to listen to him.
I just want to rub Otis's head.
For luck.
No.
Just a little rub Sorry, Barbie.
What luck, I happen to be holding two of these.
I'm Brad.
Thanks, but I was getting ready to head out.
This your first go round at the TC? Let me guess.
Uh You've got the legs for volleyball but the upper arm strength of a boxer You think I'm a boxer? No.
You're far too pretty to be a boxer.
- A swimmer? - I'm a gymnast.
A gymnast? Whoa.
I thought gymnasts were like, 12.
Thank God, no.
The 12-year-olds terrify me.
Sometimes I feel like a little bit of an old lady in this sport, though.
Is that why you're off to bed? That and I have a boyfriend.
Oh, come on! - Continue that.
- Yeah.
This'll be fine.
It's only temporary.
I mean, home is where the heart is, after all.
Right? Look, it's only for eight weeks.
And then we're off to London.
And you'll be right there with me.
I'd never leave you.
We're in this together.
OK, it's you and me all the way.
Hot pink chalk Against a blackboard You can't help but notice me I'm graffiti On your white wall For everyone to see Gonna leave my mark Like a shooting star You're gonna know that I was here You're gonna know that I was here Again.
Again.
What's up with Payson? She can do an illusion in her sleep.
Do you know if she, uh read her letter from Max last night? She was asleep when I got back.
Why? What are you two looking at? Maria Born, in my office.
Get back to work.
I think I know what's bugging Payson.
The letter from Max, I accidentally read it.
How do you accidentally read someone else's letter? I thought it was for me.
Anyway, it's a good thing I did, because I know what's wrong.
Max broke up with her.
Eyes up here, ladies.
Maria Born is going home.
I am one day closer to London, and I do not have time to stroke egos.
Keeler, you will now be working with Coach Webber on vault.
Everyone take five.
Payson, is there anything we can I suck today.
It happens.
It's just one day.
Which is really like a week, according to the coach.
What's the matter? Is it because of Max? Did Austin say something?! No, um But we know you got a letter Max broke up with me.
Oh, Payson, I'm sorry.
What did he say? That his rehab is taking longer than he thought.
And that he's confused.
He doesn't know what he wants anymore.
Uh, he's not sure if he wants to do gymnastics or photography or maybe even art school.
Uh, he said that he loves me and but has to let me go.
Well, doesn't that answer your "why"? No.
No.
There has to be a deeper reason.
Me.
I've never done the whole girlfriend thing before.
Maybe I did something wrong.
Maybe I could change.
If I only knew what I did.
Your five is up.
Let's go.
C'mon Pay.
You're a star.
You've got it, Pay, let's do this.
She's going to do Yurchenko two-and-a-half twist? With her back? At her age? Let's go, Keeler.
You want to see a Yurchenko two-and-a-half twist? I've got one that will leave smoke on the table.
Oh my God, it's Jordan Randall.
Your old friend Jordan Randall? No, I just thought she was my friend, and I was wrong.
What the hell is she doing here? I told you I was better than these girls.
Now I'll prove it.
Not on my watch.
OK, uneven bars it is.
You ever see a triple back dismount? Of course you haven't.
Nobody's ever landed one.
Stop this, Randall.
Now.
You do not want me to call security.
Oh, come on, I can do the triple.
In your dreams.
Get out.
Well, lucky I videotaped my dream.
It's on the memory stick I gave you.
All you have to do is watch it.
Thanks.
- Hey, killer.
- Hey.
Heard you had a tough practice.
Shake it off.
I can't fall apart now.
Austin, please tell me, did Max say anything to you? No.
But, you have to believe, it's nothing you did.
Why should I believe that? Look, Payson, Max's life is complicated.
What does that even mean? It means that Max is bisexual.
- What? - He's bi No, I heard you.
I just I don't believe you.
You're lying.
Payson, Max is on a journey that he didn't think you'd be comfortable with.
And I think that's why he didn't tell you.
- It's not you.
- How did I not know? I didn't pick up on it either.
And I'm a pro.
We told each other everything.
And the way he kissed me - He kissed me too.
- Me too.
Wait You kissed him? I'll explain later.
The point is, he kissed all of us.
That's who Max is.
And I think he wanted to tell you, Payson.
He just didn't know how.
Now I get why he didn't pick me.
I'm sorry, I thought that that would help her.
We have to do something.
If she has another day like she did today in the gym, she'll be gone.
What's wrong with me? - Nothing.
- Seriously! My feelings for Sasha were completely inappropriate and Max didn't think I could handle the truth.
I thought our relationship was stronger than that.
What relationship? You had like three dates, and then he took off for the Hamptons.
I mean, seriously, it's not like Max was even a real boyfriend, Pay.
He was just a glorified pen pal.
Thanks, Lauren.
I'm not going to have you of all people be taken down by some fantasy boyfriend.
We've come too far to let boys mess with our destiny.
What we need is a little girl fun.
- Hm? - Um, a pedicure won't really fix this.
But, stealing Otis will.
From the wrestlers? Are you crazy? Let's just say, I "persuaded" one of them into telling me where they hid Otis.
We need to strike now.
Let's go.
- You two go.
I don't know - Pity party's over.
I did not just spend the last half-hour of my life making out with a so you could sit here feeling sorry for yourself.
We all need the luck.
And, uh, you most of all.
So let's go.
I say let's go.
Otis is up there.
Through the skylight, on the roof.
There's an access door inside.
Along with at least two security guards.
No problem, we're just gonna go inside and say, "Bring us the head of Otis!" Please.
Guys, we can do this.
We have to show up those annoying wrestlers.
Come on, let's go around the back.
- Mm-mm.
- Mm-hm.
- Mm-mm.
Mm-mm! - Mm-hm.
Let's try upstairs.
OK.
Lift me up.
Have you just lost your mind? No.
It'll be easy.
I'll just flip on up.
Someone could see you up there.
Not if you're my lookouts.
Come on, spot me.
- Come on! - No.
- OK.
- Ready? Hey you cheerleaders, we're superior We're only losers 'til we reach the end of senior year We never comb our hair, our clothes are out of fashion Let me know when the coast is clear.
I'll meet you back in front, with Otis.
Driving through the summer air Yeah, this is how we roll The suburban pioneers Yeah, this is how we roll With the black dye in our hair Yeah, this is how we roll We're the rebels of senior year Hey consumer girls In your motorcades 'Cause that's what daddy buys A new Mercedes But you would laugh at us back in junior high As we lost track of time in dreams of grandeur Who's the one gone VIP, yeah Tell me, tell me Where's your boyfriend? Tell me, tell me Do you want my autograph? I don't see her.
She was there just a minute ago.
What are you looking at? Stars.
Beat it.
Yeah, this is how we roll The suburban pioneers I don't know.
- Hey, what took so long?! - Are you OK? Yeah.
Fine.
So, where's Otis? There was no Otis.
Only this.
"This is as close as you Barbies will ever get.
Gotcha!" Are you sure you're OK? You disappeared for a long time up there.
I'm just bummed.
That's all.
Hey, Barbies, is this what you're looking for? This isn't over.
I'm counting on it.
How is it that I am a nutritionist and I can't get my own husband to eat? I'm sorry, honey, I was just watching something.
Here, take a look at this.
- Was that three rotations? - It sure was.
Has a girl ever done that before? Not in competition.
So, that makes this girl pretty special, doesn't it? Yeah.
Randall.
Pack your things.
There are rules in this town against public vagrancy.
You've got one week to show me you're not wasting my time.
All right, come on.
Meet me at the dorm.
You're moving on campus.
Why did he call us here? It can't be good.
It looks like a tribal council.
Are we being sent home? Ladies.
One of the greatest challenges in gymnastics is accepting that it's both a team and an individual sport.
Yes, you need your teammates.
Yes, you're there for each other.
But you don't choose your teammates.
I do.
Teammates who will propel you forward, not hold you back.
Not encourage you to take part in dangerous scavenger hunts.
You know, gold is forged by fire.
Well, the same could be said of a gold-medal-winning team.
I'm trying to build that kind of team.
But I can't do it as long as the three of you cling to your old one.
So, tonight you will say goodbye to your past.
