Blades Of Glory
Though it ’s been more than a decade sinceBlades of Gloryfirst embellish our screens , the hilarity of this flick still has us laughing until our sides are sore . One of the pic ’s most underrated characters is Katie van Waldenberg , the love interest of John Heder ’s Jimmy MacElroy and the naïve untested sister of villains Stranz and Fairchild van Waldenberg , played by Will Arnett and Amy Poehler .
Katie is depict byJenna FischerofThe Officefame and goes through one of the most telling grapheme transformations of the story . From Stranz and Fairchild ’s pawn to her own independent woman , Katie is an breathing in ! Here are her best quotes .
“Maybe If You Concentrate On The Skating, People Will Forget All The Hype, And They’ll Focus On The Purity Of The Sport And The Spirit Of Honest Competition.”
In a flick packed with virtuously compromised ( albeit screaming ) fiber , Jenna Fischer ’s Katie van Waldenberg stands out as one of the only selfless figures . Even though she ’s initially rock by her evil sibling , Stranz and Fairchild , to sabotage Jimmy MacElroy and Chazz Michael Michaels ( played byWill Ferrell ) , it deplete away at her until she eventually walk away from them for good .
When they first ask her to spy on Jimmy and Chazz , she tries to stand up to them with this wholesome prompting . Of course , they do n’t corrupt it . But we love that she offered !
“It’s A Posturepedic.”
One of the funnierBlades of Gloryscenes usher Katie tempt Chazz to her hotel room after ambushing him at a sex junkie ’s merging that he ’s give ear . post in by her brother and sis to destroy the bond between Jimmy and Chazz , Katie does n’t desire to seduce Chazz but feels like she has no choice .
ab initio , when Katie asks Chazz to join her on the bed , he tries severely to resist . So how does she rock him to come over ? By telling him that the bed is a posturepedic . And amazingly , that ’s the straw that give the camel ’s back and gets him over to the bottom .
“It’s Basically Just Gliding, Trying Not To Fall, With A Couple Of Jumps Thrown In, Right?”
You ca n’t help but experience sorry for poor Katie . Her whole life revolves around ice skating , but she ’s not allowed to in reality enjoy it . rather , her sibling blame her for their parents ’ death , and she has to act as like their minion while they live out their skating dreams and she watches from the sidelines .
She spread up to Jimmy while the two enjoy a Baron Snow of Leicester cone on their first engagement , pouring out her feelings about the world of trash skating with this comment . you’re able to hear how badly she ’s trying to convince herself that she ’s not missing out .
“Spandex. Glitter. Egos. Ice Blows.”
Clearly , Katie has some strong feelings about ice skating because her harangue to Jimmy during their first date goes on for a while . The sadness in her voice as she hold how foiled she is demonstrate the worked up turmoil inside her . pull to follow her sister and brother around like a slave , all she notices in the creation of ice skating are the minor details : spandex , glitter , and ego .
We do n’t get to see what happens after Katie and Jimmy reunite at the end of the movie , but we ’re desire he put in her to the magical side of shabu skating and she can see beyond the spandex .
“Wow. I Never Really Thought Of That As A Romantic Story Before.”
After Katie confess her thick dark secrets to Jimmy , they lean in and share a candy kiss . you could secern they ’re pushed together by quixotic energy , even though she was just talking about how her parent died force back her to an ice - skating lesson , leading her sib to blame her for their deaths and handle her like a slave .
Although it ’s weird that a story like that could be considered romantic , this just shows how perfect Jimmy and Katie are for each other . They feel each other ’s pain and are attracted to each other no matter what they ’re talking about !
“My Sister Told All My Friends I Was In Jail For Armed Robbery.”
While Katie and Jimmy are on their appointment , they each get hold away talking about how tragic their lives are . After Jimmy break that he was given a six - pack of protein shakes and a subscription to man ’s health for his natal day , Katie hits him with some base truth about her puerility .
As it turns out , Fairchild was always a manipulative thing . Well before she started cheating to advance professional ice skating rivalry , Fairchild tell Katie ’s protagonist that she was in jailhouse for armed looting , result in nobody coming to Katie ’s birthday party . Classic Fairchild .
“Pour Sweet Cream On It.”
To be fair , this is n’t really Katie ’s quote , even though it comes out of her oral fissure . When she give notice Jimmy to swarm sweet emollient on his burn , it ’s only because Fairchild differentiate her to . And that ’s only because she and Stranz require Katie to get close to him and then sabotage his chance of gain the contender . But this is still a screaming quote .
The context is what makes it so curious . Katie ’s tone is not convert at all as she drive herself to intimate something so cheeky . And Jimmy , who is being coach by Chazz to vocalise enticing on the phone , is completely unfazed .
“Sex, Sex, Sex. What Can I say?”
Again , it ’s not what Katie says that makes her inverted comma so funny , but how she says them . This is what she say to Chazz after she shows up at the sex addicts anonymous coming together and he tells her that he did n’t know she was an addict . It would n’t be half as hilarious if she said it like she meant it , but the inadequate thing sounds so unsure and feeble as she does her sib ’ bidding .
unluckily , Chazz is too distracted by his addiction to see through this and believe that she actually is an addict too .
“You’ve Been Practicing.”
Jimmy and Katie , a.k.a . the sodding couple , are tear aside for a while as Stranz and Fairchild get the better of them . But they get their happy ending after Chazz and Jimmy successfully execute the branding iron genus Lotus and win the contender . After they finally deal another kiss , Katie tells Jimmy that he ’s been practicing . He tells her that Chazz has taught him a few matter .
Does that mean he practice his fondling with Chazz ? Either way , we have it off this quote because it presage the successful relationship that we like to believe Jimmy and Katie share after the remainder of the movie .
“Mom And Dad Were Not Wearing Their Seatbelts And They Made An Improper Left-Hand Turn.”
This is hands down the expert Katie van Waldenberg quote ever . After class of letting her siblings walk all over her and make her feel guilty for the death of their parent , she finally stands up to them and tells it how it is . And she ’s all right : she was not responsible for their last at all . They should have been get into their seat belt and they should not have made an improper left - hand round . Facts .
Stranz and Fairchild seek to suck her back in after she face them , but it ’s no employment . Katie is a new and improved woman .
