Stick It Movie Quotes
Haley Graham
[V.O]
Gymnastics tells you 'no' all day long. It mocks you over and over again, telling you that you're an idiot. That you're crazy. If you like running full speed towards a stationary object, vault's for you. If you like peeling pieces of skin the size of quarters off your hands, bars is for you. Because the only thing more fun than rips, is when your rips get rips. It's super sexy. And floor? Are you serious? I mean, who doesn't wanna parade around in a leotard getting wedgies and doing dorky choreography? It's delicious. If you like falling, then gymnastics is the sport for you! You get to fall on your face, your ass, your back, your knees and your pride! Good thing I didn't like falling. I *loved* it!

[V.O]
Elite gymnastics is like Navy SEALs, only harder. There are like, 2000 Navy SEALs, but there are only like, 200 elite gymnasts. I guess that's because most kids would rather have a life than spend six hours a day training tricks that could kill you. Look, don't be fooled by the leotards, people. The things gymnasts do make Navy SEALs look like wusses. And we do them *without* a gun!

Poot
Dude, I totally hate you right now!
[to Joanne]
Poot

Joanne
You think I'm a bitch?

Poot
I mean, what? They think they can just hate on you like that?
Frank

There are things you wish for before big moments. I wish my friends were here. God, I wish my parents were different. I wish there was someone who got what was happening, and could just look at me and tell me that we weren't crazy. That we weren't being stupid. Someone to say "I'm proud of you, and I got your back. No matter what."

They just get their spots handed to them? What about the rest of us?
Joanne
I don't like what you're 'instimulating', Haley.
Joanne
I have totally earned my spot.
Burt Vickerman
Girls.
Joanne
I'm practically a Dalmatian.
Haley Graham
Dalmatians are born with spots, they don't earn them. Which is exactly my point.

This isn't the first time I've made out with law enforcement. We've kinda had this ongoing flirtation. We've been on some dates. You know, broken up, got back together. But honestly, until now, I haven't been ready for anything steady.
Haley Graham
But you know, people change. And I felt like maybe I was ready for a more serious courtship.

Haley Graham
For me? Yeah, you know, you said something about the fact that this was about me. You know, helping me, my freedom. You forgot to tell me about the part you were cashing in on it!
Burt Vickerman
Haley, I meant everything I said. I never lied to you.
Haley Graham
Everything you said was an insurance policy to get those fat checks from my father!
Burt Vickerman
Haley, you're not leaving like this. You're gonna go back in there, finish this meet. Don't make this another Worlds! Don't do it, don't bail!
Haley Graham
You don't know the first thing about Worlds.
Burt Vickerman
All right, fine. I give up. You know, we gave it a shot. I'm gonna talk to your father. Maybe you should go back to Chris DeFrank's.
Haley Graham
Chris DeFrank's? You want me to go back to DeFrank's?
Burt Vickerman
Well, you don't listen to me. You know? Clearly you listened to him long enough for...
Haley Graham
Yeah, long enough to hook up with my mom.
[Whimpers]
Haley Graham
Long enough for him to... rip my family apart.
Burt Vickerman
Oh, hey. When did, when did you find this out?
Haley Graham
Before floor... At Worlds.
Burt Vickerman
Aw, Haley, I... I had no idea. I'm sorry.

Right. Yeah, I *sucked* my way to Worlds. Glad to see you haven't lost your love of accuracy, Joanne.

Vick? When can we scrap the old long-sleeved leotards? We need new ones for Championships. Every college will be scouting me!

Joanne
Not that *you* have to worry about any of that.
Haley Graham
New leotards might disctract, you know, the judges and scouts from you... lack of talent. It's a solid strategy.
Joanne
Gee, *Pariah* Carey, I wonder why no one's scouting you. Oh, I forgot! You don't matter!

Frank
And how do those leotards not ride up their butts?
Poot
Oh, yeah.
Haley Graham
Tuff-Skin.
Frank
Aw. They have ass calluses?
Haley Graham
No. It's just this sticky stuff you spray on your butt so the leotard doesn't ride up.
Poot
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Can I get that job? I wanna be Tuff-Skin.
Frank
Hey. What would happen if you put some of that Tuff-Skin stuff, on tough skin?
Poot
Your head would stick to your butt.
Frank
Why would my head stick to my butt?
Poot
Cause your head's already up there! Ahh!

The only reason I'm doing these tricks is because somebody somewhere said "I don't care if this is nuts, and I don't care if it hurts. I'm doing it. I'm gonna climb this insanely high mountain. Watch me". And when you're the first to climb a new mountain in gymnastics, they name it after you. A Geinger. A Rulfova. A Tchusovitina. A Shaposhnikova. They all rocked. And we salute you.

It's the same old Championships, but I am a totally different person. And even though I'm pretty sure I'll be judged for who I was and not who I am, I know I have to face this. Four events and four judges per event. That's sixteen judges ready to tell us just how badly we suck. Sixteen people ready to tell us just how perfect we're not. But here we are, chasing perfection. The problem is, perfection doesn't exist. But just try telling *that* to the judges.

I need to talk to you about coming back and training with Chris. Doesn't look good having you training with somebody else.

Hey, hey, hey. You owe Chris some respect.
Haley Graham
I don't respect people who don't respect me.
Alice Graham
And I suppose you think Burt Vickerman respects you?
Haley Graham
Yeah, actually. I do.
Alice Graham
The only thing Burt Vickerman respects is money. He cares about cash and cashing in. And if your daddy hadn't paid him off, you'd be sitting at Texas Military Academy right now.
Haley Graham
What do you mean, 'Paid him off'? Everybody there pays.
Alice Graham
Your daddy called every elite gym in the country; nobody wanted you. Honey, your dad is paying four times what every other girl there is paying.

Burt Vickerman
Yeah, that 'kid', that kid is here in spite of you, Chris.

You're kidding.

Obsessive compulsive about handstands. I'm talking hit your vertical or die, ladies. And please, please for me, watch out for the vault dick on the end.

As we got our totally fake first place medals, I realized. Gymnastics wasn't there to judge me, or diss me. Only I could do that. I couldn't look back and think it was about the judges or the parents or the coaches at all. It was about us. And for us. And that felt totally first place real to me.

You're popping your clutch, losing traction.
Haley Graham
I'm not popping shit.
Burt Vickerman
Are you sure?
Haley Graham
I'm so sure I'm practically deodorant.

Yo, let me use your phone.

Why? It's gonna be done by the time anyone gets here.

I'm not gonna call anyone. I'm gonna take some shots of the blood.

V... G... A. Otherwise known as the Vickerman Gymnastics Academy. There's only one thing worse than having no control over your life. It's being forced to live it with people who hate you. And I was suddenly the filling in the middle of an 'I-Hate-You' sandwich. Meet the bread.
Haley Graham
Burt Vickerman *used* to whip up the best gymnasts west of the Mississippi. That is, until his gym started producing more injuries than champions. We'd never met, and I'd been hoping to keep it that way.
Burt Vickerman
Is my mind saying 'relax'? Maybe you can read my mind, and it's completely lost. Have I lost my mind? Is that why you're staring off into space?

Burt Vickerman
Ah. Join us.
Joanne
What is *she* doing here?
Haley Graham
Joanne Charis. Four time National Team member. Five time National Haley-Hater. Why all the hate? Well, when you walk out on Worlds and lose Team USA some team gold, it's not personal. It's national. And in the world of gymnastics, hating me was practically a sport, in and of itself.

It doesn't matter how hard we run, or how high we flip. Leave your hands on the vault table too long? Deduction. If you use one arm instead of two, big deduction. And if your feet clip the vault before they hit the floor... You're done. So you say you want lyrics in your floor music? *Huge* deduction. Music finishes, but you don't? Two tenths deduction. It doesn't matter how well you do. It's how well you follow *their* rules. And that just blows.

Haley, I'm not gonna tell you to play it safe, cause I'd be wasting my time. You wanna throw hard tricks, throw hard tricks. When you wanna control them, see me.

Listen, I don't suppose college gymnastics is on your To-Do list, right?

Correct. College gymnastics is one big fat To-Don't.

World Championships two years ago. Team USA was just one rotation away from winning the gold medal. Haley Graham was set to go for the Americans, last up on floor. Instead, she shocked her teammates, spectators and coaches alike by walking out of the arena and into an automatic disqualification.
Lacey
Why'd she walk out?
Tim Daggett
Few can forget the image of teammate Tricia Skilken crying as her dreams of gold melted away.
