Sir Rayne says WITH THE MARBLE THE
SKY IS THE LIMIT.
Max throws the marble to a magical pot.
Sir Rayne yells NO.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
YOU'VE DESTROYED ME.
Max yells NO DAD, I SAVED YOU.
Someone picks up the remaining pieces of the marble from the floor.
Ms. Martel says IS THAT REALLY YOU?
Mimi says I'M BACK MADDIE.
UNFORTUNATELY THAT
MEANS YOU MUST BE GOING.
Next, Max bumps into Mimi and says MS. MARTEL.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT YOUR SISTER?
Mimi says MIMI?
Max says MY DAD'S OUT SEARCHING FOR HER
AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU KNEW
ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HELP.
Rosa says THIS IS ALL I MANAGED TO EARN.
Nicky says CIRCO GRAN MALABAR
IS OUR LITTLE SCHOOL.
WE BUILT IT.
IT'S UP TO US TO SAVE IT AND I
KNOW THAT PEOPLE WILL STILL PAY
GOOD MONEY TO WATCH THE EARTH

BEATING IN TIME,

AND READY TO START.
An animated portrait necklace falls from the sky. Glowing, it opens and colourful profile cards with the faces of Nicholas, Maxwell, April, Phoenix, Chase, Ella, Celeste and Axel appear. They are students in their early and mid teens at a circus school.
Wearing colourful outfits, they show their artistic skills like ballet and gymnastics. Then, they all stand together on a circus stage.
The name of the show appears. It reads "Big Top Academy."
Nicholas and Phoenix do some homework in the school yard.
Nicky says HEY.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING
ALL OVER FOR YA.
Nicholas says WHAT'S UP?
Nicky says WELL, YOU KNOW, TODAY'S THE DAY.
Nicholas says YEP.
EVERYONE'S SO EXCITED.
Nicky says NICHOLAS, I WISH YOU
DIDN'T FIND OUT THIS WAY OKAY?
I WANTED TO BE THE

Nicholas says WE'VE BEEN THROUGH
THIS AND I GET IT.
CIRCO GRAN MALABAR NEEDS YOU.
REALLY.
I'M GOOD.
LOOKS LIKE YOUR
FANS ARE WAITING.
Two girls stand nearby.
Nicky says OKAY.

Nicholas says WOULDN'T MISS IT DAD.
Talking to herself, Mimi says NOW NICKY ZOLTA
WANTS ALL THE GLORY.
MEANWHILE THE REAL STAR,
ME, HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN.
I AM HEADMASTER.
I COULD CANCEL THE WHOLE EVENT.
(knocking)
Max says MS. MARTEL?
Mimi says WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU MAX?
Max says HOW KNOW HARD TODAY MUST BE FOR

WRITING THE WRONGS OF
THE PAST I HAD AN IDEA.
Mimi says DO TELL.
Max says SO PICTURE THIS.
THE EARTH DEFYING EAGLE UP ON
THAT WIRE CROSSING THE GORGE AND
RIGHT BESIDE HIM, YOU.
Mimi says ME?
OH NO.
I COULDN'T.
Max says WHY NOT?
IT COULD BE THE
PERFECT TRIBUTE TO MIMI.
Mimi says I NEVER DID STOP
WALKING THE WIRE.
Max says I KNOW.
YOU TAUGHT A CLASS
ON IT LAST TERM.
Mimi says OF COURSE.
THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.
Max says WE CAN PRACTICE TOO.
I CAN SET UP THE TIGHT
ROPE IN THE GYM RIGHT NOW.
Mimi says FINALLY, CROSSING
THE GREAT GORGE.
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING.
Max says MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
WILL SEE THE LIVE STREAM.
MAYBE EVEN MIMI.
Mimi says MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCHING ME.
Next, Ella records herself as she applies some make up.
Ella says HI PICCOLO FAMILY CIRCUS FANS.
I'M PAINTING MY FACE LIKE
A TOUCAN SO YOU CAN TOO.
HAHA.
JUST A LITTLE BIRD HUMOR.
Chase says LOOK OUT COMING THROUGH.
Ella says CUT.
QUIET ON SET.
I'M ROLLING HERE.
Chase says ARE YOU MAKING A MOVIE?
Ella says CLOSE.
IT'S A VIDEO FOR NATIONAL
DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH.
Chase says AWESOME.
WAIT.
WHAT DOES MAKE-UP HAVE
TO DO WITH DIABETES?
Ella shrugs and says NOTHING.
Chase says DING-DING-DING.
BINGO.
Ella says TYPE 1 DIABETES HAS BEEN A
PART OF MY LIFE SINCE I WAS 4.
I WANT MY VIDEO TO BE FUN.
Chase says THEN YOU'VE COME
TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
Ella says I WAS ALREADY HERE.
Chase says THEN I'VE COME TO
THE RIGHT PLACE.
I WENT TO FILM
SCHOOL FOR A WHOLE WEEK.
Ella smiles.
He continues I'LL HELP YOU MAKE THE
MOST FUN DIABETES VIDEO EVER.
OKAY.
SO LET'S START WITH EVERYTHING
YOU KNOW ABOUT DIABETES.
He uses her cell phone to record her and says 3, 2, 1.
ACTION.
Meanwhile, Mimi stands in the wire at the gym.
Max says HOW'S THE
WEATHER UP THERE?
Mimi says READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP.
AT LAST.
Max says YOU'RE DOING GREAT.
Walking down the wire, Mimi says YOU CAN DO THIS.
FORGET THE FALL.
YOU DESERVE THIS.
She jumps to the floor.
Max says WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?
Mimi says MEMORIES OF MY
SISTER ARE TOO MUCH.
IF MY SISTER WERE HERE RIGHT NOW
SHE'D REALLY WANT THAT MARBLE.
Max says MS. MARTEL.
DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT THAT.
Mimi says YOU'RE RIGHT.
BAD JOKE.
NOT FUNNY.
I'M REALLY GLAD
IT WAS DESTROYED.
IT WAS DESTROYED.
RIGHT?
Max says YEAH.
I DESTROYED IT.
Mimi gets back on the wire.
Mimi says RIGHT.
AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
She jumps back to the floor.
Max says HEY.
WE STILL HAVE TO PRACTICE.
Mimi says ACTUALLY I HAVE
HEADMASTER DUTIES TO MASTER.
Max says BUT YOU NEED TO BE UP THERE.
THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE YOU.
Rebecca says NICHOLAS ZOLTA.
A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME?
TELL THE WHOLE WORLD HOW
YOU'RE FEELING RIGHT NOW.
Nicholas says NEVER BETTER.
Rebecca says ARE YOU READY TO WATCH
YOUR DAD WALK THE WIRE?
Nicholas says OF COURSE.
Rebecca says FORECAST IS
CALLING FOR LIGHT WINDS.
DO YOU THINK HE'LL HAVE TROUBLE?
Nicholas says WINDS?
Phoenix says NO MORE QUESTIONS.
Phoenix and Nicholas walk away.
Nicholas says I CAN'T GO TO THE GREAT GORGE.
THERE'S NO WAY.
Phoenix says I KNEW THIS WAS
STILL BUGGING YOU.
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY
SOMETHING TO YOUR DAD?
Nicholas says BECAUSE THIS IS
IMPORTANT TO HIM.
EVERYONE AT CIRCO GRAN
MALABAR IS DEPENDING ON HIM.
Phoenix says SO ARE YOU.
Nicholas says PHOENIX, I REALLY CAN'T IMAGINE
WATCHING MY DAD ON THAT WIRE
AGAIN.
IT'S TOO HARD.
Phoenix says NICHOLAS YOU NEED TO
TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL.
Nicholas says FORGET IT.
I'M NOT GONNA RUIN
THIS FOR MY DAD.
Now, Mimi watches a video on her laptop.
Mimi says IT REALLY WAS DESTROYED.
IT'S REALLY GONE.
I CAN'T CROSS THE GREAT GORGE.
WHO IS THAT?
CHASE.
Chase picks up the remaining pieces of the marble from the floor.
Mimi says MAYBE I CAN CROSS THE
GREAT GORGE AFTER ALL.
Back in the dressing room, Ella says I CAN DO EVERYTHING ANYONE
ELSE CAN AS LONG AS I MANAGE MY
BLOOD SUGAR.
Chase says CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT.
COME ON ELLA.
I WANT THE REAL STORY.
THINK OF ALL THE KIDS OUT
THERE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW SCARY
DIABETES CAN BE, LIKE ME.
Ella says IT'S NOT SCARY IF YOU
KNOW HOW TO MANAGE IT.
Chase says BUT I READ ONLINE THAT IF YOUR
BLOOD SUGAR GETS TOO HIGH OR TOO
LOW YOU CAN END UP
IN THE HOSPITAL.
Ella says AND LUCKILY THAT RARELY HAPPENS.
Chase says DID IT EVER HAPPEN TO YOU?
Ella says ONCE.
WHEN I WAS 5.
Chase says TELL ME EVERYTHING.
DON'T LEAVE OUT ONE DETAIL.
Ella says CHASE, THAT'S NOT WHAT
THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT.
Chase says YES IT IS.
(beeping)
OH NO.
IS IT MY FAULT?
DID I DO SOMETHING?
Ella says MY BLOOD SUGAR'S GOING
UP BECAUSE OF STRESS.
Chase says OKAY.
WE NEED TO CALL 911.
Ella says I DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE
HOSPITAL.
I JUST NEED TO GO TO THE NURSE
AND CHECK IF I NEED AN INSULIN
INJECTION.
Chase says INJECTION?
Ella says YOU GET USED TO IT.
I ALSO HAVE TO DO IT WHENEVER
I'M STRESSED AND MY BLOOD
SUGAR SPIKES.
AKA RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF YOU.
Chase says OKAY.
HOP ON MY BACK.
I'LL TAKE YOU.
Ella says NO.
I'M NOT A WEIRDO
BECAUSE I HAVE DIABETES OKAY?
Celeste says HEY.
I JUST GOT AN ALERT ON MY PHONE
THAT YOUR BLOOD SUGAR'S
GOING UP.
Ella says ARE YOU OKAY?
YES BUT CAN YOU
WALK ME TO THE NURSE?
Angry, Ella takes her cell phone away from Chase.
Nicky bumps into Phoenix in a corridor.
Nicky says HIDE ME.
Nicky jumps behind a sofa and Phoenix rushes to sit on it.
Rebecca says YOU HAVEN'T SEEN
MR. ZOLTA HAVE YOU?
Phoenix shakes her head.
Rebecca says I NEED A FEW MORE QUOTES.
Rebecca leaves.
Phoenix says I'M SORRY.
Nicky says OH, THAT WAS CLOSE.
THAT GIRL IS
SERIOUS ABOUT JOURNALISM.
Phoenix says ACTUALLY I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT.
Nicky says IS IT ABOUT NICHOLAS?
Phoenix says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Nicky says I JUST FEEL LIKE
SOMETHING'S UP WITH HIM.
DID HE SAY ANYTHING TO YOU?
YOU GUYS ARE BEST FRIENDS.
HE TRUSTS YOU.
Phoenix says RIGHT.
Nicky says SO, WHAT IS IT?
ARE YOU SURE HE'S OKAY
WITH THIS WHOLE GORGE THING?
Phoenix says NO.
IT'S NOT ABOUT NICHOLAS.
IT'S ABOUT THE WEATHER.
I HEAR THERE'S
LIGHT WINDS TODAY.
BE CAREFUL UP THERE.
Nicky says THANKS BUT I'M OKAY PHOENIX.
IT'S NOTHING I
HAVEN'T HANDLED BEFORE.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT
NICHOLAS THOUGH?
I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT HIM.
Phoenix says I'M SURE IF SOMETHING WERE WRONG
HE'D TELL YOU.
Mimi walks into Chase's bedroom.
Mimi says CHASE, I...IS SOMETHING WRONG?
Chase says ELLA'S MAD AT ME.
Mimi says WHAT HAPPENED?
Chase says I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP BUT
ALL THAT I DID WAS ANNOY HER.
Mimi says IT'S IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION
TO YOUR FRIENDS.
WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT OR
DON'T WANT.
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN.
Chase says YEAH.
Mimi says AND I'M YOUR FRIEND RIGHT?
CHASE, I KNOW YOU
HAVE THE MARBLE.
Chase says REALLY?
BECAUSE TEACHERS ARE ALWAYS
TELLING ME I'VE LOST MY MARBLES.
Mimi says THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR JOKES.
I SAW YOU PICK UP THE MARBLE
SHARDS AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
THERE'S A VIDEO OF IT.
Chase says YOU CAN FAKE ANYTHING WITH
SPECIAL EFFECTS THESE DAYS.
NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I
NEED TO GO TALK TO ELLA.
BYE MS. MARTEL.
Chase closes the door.
Chase opens a drawer and smells a socket.
He says MM-MM.
BLECH.
Then, he finds the marble.
Suddenly, Mimi opens the door and says I KNEW IT.
Chase says OH.
YOU MEANT THIS MARBLE.
Mimi says CHASE.
GIVE IT TO ME NOW.
I PROMISE I'LL KEEP IT SAFE.
Chase says I WANTED TO BE A GOOD SPY.
KEEP THIS A SECRET.
IT'S THE ONLY ONE
I'VE EVER KEPT.
Mimi says IT'S OKAY.
YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
YOUR SECRET'S SAFE WITH ME.
Chase hands Mimi the marble.
Mimi says SEE HOW IMPORTANT IT
IS TO TRUST PEOPLE?
ELLA TRUSTED YOU BUT
YOU DIDN'T LISTEN.
NOW YOU NEED TO
SHOW HER THAT YOU CAN.
Chase says THANKS MS. MARTEL.
Mimi says NO CHASE.
THANK YOU.
Then, Phoenix sits next to Nicholas at the cafeteria.
Phoenix says HEY.
Nicholas says HEY.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU
DIDN'T TALK TO MY DAD.
PHOENIX?
YOU PROMISED.
Phoenix says I KNOW AND I LIED FOR YOU.
I REALLY WISH I HADN'T.
Nicholas says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Phoenix says NICHOLAS, YOUR DAD'S GONNA CROSS
THE GORGE WITHOUT KNOWING HOW
YOU REALLY FEEL.
Nicholas says SO WHAT?
HE'LL CROSS.
I WON'T BE THERE AND EVERYTHING
WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL.
Phoenix says WILL IT?
OR WILL THIS EAT AWAY AT YOU
FOR THE REST FOR YOUR LIFE?
THAT'S NOT FAIR
TO YOU OR TO HIM.
YOU NEED TO GET THIS OUT NOW.
Ella rests in her bedroom.
(knocking)
Chase says BEEP BEEP.
COMING THROUGH.
Ella says WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR?
TRYING TO MAKE A BIG
DEAL ABOUT MY DIABETES?
Chase says NO, BEEP.
IT'S MY MONITOR.
BEEP.
MY DOOFUS MONITOR.
BEEP.
Ironically, Ella says HA HA.
Chase says I'M SORRY I WAS BEEP BEING
WEIRD ABOUT YOUR BEEP DIABETES.
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE COOL
AND FUNNY AND SMART AND...
Ella says TAKE A BREATH CHASE.
Chase says I KNOW DIABETES IS JUST
A PART OF WHO YOU ARE.
Ella says YEAH.
TYPE 1 DIABETES IS A PART OF MY
LIFE BUT IT'S NOT ALL OF ME AND
IT DOESN'T STOP ME FROM
DOING THE THINGS I LOVE.
Chase says YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK I'M
STARTING TO GET IT NOW.
HEY.
I HAVE A NEW VIDEO IDEA.
YOU IN?
Ella nods.
They dance and have fun putting some make up on.
A song plays I'M WANNA MAKE THE
WHOLE WORLD SMILE.
I WANNA GO THAT EXTRA MILE.
THE KIND OF FORCE
THAT'S SECOND OF NONE.
SEARCH OF LOVE.
IN SEARCH OF FUN.
I WANT TO FLY
OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
ABOVE THE CLOUDS
THAT'S WHERE I'LL GO.
FEELING LIKE I CAN
TOUCH THE STARS.
READY TO SHINE.
Chase shows Ella the video he recorded.
On the video, Ella says I MAY HAVE TYPE 1 DIABETES BUT
THAT'S JUST ONE OF A ZILLION
INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT ME.
WOO.
Chase says THAT'S A WRAP.
They high-five.
Now, Mimi is ready to perform.
Mimi says FINALLY IT'S TIME.
At night, the students gather near the Great Gorge.
Rebecca says WE'RE SECONDS AWAY FROM THE
MOMENT EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING
FOR.
FINALLY NICKY ZOLTA AND NOW,
ALSO, MS. MADDIE MARTEL WILL
CROSS THE GREAT GORGE.
MR. ZOLTA.
YOU'RE BIG MOMENT IS HERE.
TELL US WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND.
Wearing his eagle outfit, Nicky says I FEEL LUCKY.
LUCKY BECAUSE I'VE HAD AN
AMAZING CAREER AND I'M HAPPY TO
HELP CIRCO GRAN MALABAR BUT
TONIGHT, TONIGHT I DO THIS FOR
MY SON BECAUSE I
WANT HIM TO BE PROUD.
Rebecca says LET'S CHAT WITH HIM.
WHERE IS HE?
Nicky says UH.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE HE'S LATE.
Rebecca says WELL, OUR LIVE
STREAM IS RIGHT ON TIME.
THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR THE
EARTH DEFYING EAGLE TO DO HIS
THING.
GOOD LUCK MR. ZOLTA.
(applause)
Nicholas yells DAD.
DAD.
Nicky says WHAT IS IT?
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
Rebecca says NICHOLAS ZOLTA EVERYONE.
OFFERING HIS DAD SOME LAST
MINUTE WORDS OF SUPPORT.
LET'S LISTEN IN.
Nicholas says I WANTED TO BE HERE TO CHEER YOU
ON LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BUT...
Nicky says IT'S OKAY SON.
YOU CAN TALK TO ME.
Nicholas says I GET BEING A DAREDEVIL IS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU BUT WHAT
IF I LOSE YOU AGAIN?
WHAT IF I LOSE YOU FOREVER?
Nicky says I LOVE BEING A DAREDEVIL.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN IT WAS THE
IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE BUT
NOW THAT'S YOU.
Nicholas says I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU
CHOSE BETWEEN THIS AND ME.
Nicky says YOU DON'T HAVE TO NICHOLAS
BECAUSE THE CHOICE IS ALREADY
MADE.
I WANT TO BE THE FATHER I ALWAYS
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND THAT'S WHY
I WILL NOT BE
CROSSING THE GORGE TONIGHT.
(whispering)
Rebecca says LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
THE EARTH DEFYING EAGLE HAS
CHOSEN HIS FAMILY AND DECIDED
NOT TO PERFORM THE STUNT.
WE'RE SO GONNA WIN
AN AWARD FOR THIS.
Nicky says I'M SORRY MADDIE IT LOOKS YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO GO IT ALONE.
ALL EYES ON YOU.
Mimi says ALL EYES ON ME.
VERY WELL THEN.
Rebecca says WE'RE LIVE AND THIS JUST IN.
MS. MADDIE MARTEL HAS STEPPED IN
AND IS HEROICALLY GOING TO CROSS
THE GORGE SOLO.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING MADDIE?
Mimi says INVINCIBLE.
Rebecca says YOU'VE REALLY SAVED THE DAY.
NOW IT'S YOUR MOMENT.
HERE WE GO.
Mimi walks down the wire doing the splits and cross the Great Gorge.
(cheering)
(applause)
Celeste says WAY TO GO
MS. MARTEL.
Rosa says THAT WAS
AMAZING.
Mimi says I DID IT.
I REALLY
DID IT.
Rebecca says MADDIE MARTEL.
YOU'RE A HERO.
YOU'VE DONE WHAT YOUR SISTER
COULDN'T AND CROSSED THE GREAT
GORGE SUCCESSFULLY.
NOW TELL YOUR MILLIONS
OF NEW FANS HOW YOU FEEL?
The students chant MADDIE.
Mimi says INVISIBLE.
I FEEL INVISIBLE.
On the phone, Max says DAD.
I WAS WRONG.
I THOUGHT MIMI WOULD
SHOW UP BUT SHE NEVER DID.
ANOTHER DEAD END.
I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING
BETTER LUCK WHEREVER YOU ARE.
The end credits roll.

IF MY SISTER WERE HERE RIGHT NOW
SHE'D REALLY WANT THAT MARBLE.
Max says MS. MARTEL.
DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT THAT.
Mimi says YOU'RE RIGHT.
BAD JOKE.
NOT FUNNY.
I'M REALLY GLAD
IT WAS DESTROYED.
IT WAS DESTROYED.
RIGHT?
Max says YEAH.
I DESTROYED IT.
Mimi gets back on the wire.
Mimi says RIGHT.
AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
She jumps back to the floor.
Max says HEY.
WE STILL HAVE TO PRACTICE.
Mimi says ACTUALLY I HAVE
HEADMASTER DUTIES TO MASTER.
Max says BUT YOU NEED TO BE UP THERE.
THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE YOU.
Rebecca says NICHOLAS ZOLTA.
A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME?
TELL THE WHOLE WORLD HOW
YOU'RE FEELING RIGHT NOW.
Nicholas says NEVER BETTER.
Rebecca says ARE YOU READY TO WATCH
YOUR DAD WALK THE WIRE?
Nicholas says OF COURSE.
Rebecca says FORECAST IS
CALLING FOR LIGHT WINDS.
DO YOU THINK HE'LL HAVE TROUBLE?
Nicholas says WINDS?
Phoenix says NO MORE QUESTIONS.
Phoenix and Nicholas walk away.
Nicholas says I CAN'T GO TO THE GREAT GORGE.
THERE'S NO WAY.
Phoenix says I KNEW THIS WAS
STILL BUGGING YOU.
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY
SOMETHING TO YOUR DAD?
Nicholas says BECAUSE THIS IS
IMPORTANT TO HIM.
EVERYONE AT CIRCO GRAN
MALABAR IS DEPENDING ON HIM.
Phoenix says SO ARE YOU.
Nicholas says PHOENIX, I REALLY CAN'T IMAGINE
WATCHING MY DAD ON THAT WIRE
AGAIN.
IT'S TOO HARD.
Phoenix says NICHOLAS YOU NEED TO
TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL.
Nicholas says FORGET IT.
I'M NOT GONNA RUIN
THIS FOR MY DAD.
Now, Mimi watches a video on her laptop.
Mimi says IT REALLY WAS DESTROYED.
IT'S REALLY GONE.
I CAN'T CROSS THE GREAT GORGE.
WHO IS THAT?
CHASE.
Chase picks up the remaining pieces of the marble from the floor.
Mimi says MAYBE I CAN CROSS THE
GREAT GORGE AFTER ALL.
Back in the dressing room, Ella says I CAN DO EVERYTHING ANYONE
ELSE CAN AS LONG AS I MANAGE MY
BLOOD SUGAR.
Chase says CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT.
COME ON ELLA.
I WANT THE REAL STORY.
THINK OF ALL THE KIDS OUT
THERE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW SCARY
DIABETES CAN BE, LIKE ME.
Ella says IT'S NOT SCARY IF YOU
KNOW HOW TO MANAGE IT.
Chase says BUT I READ ONLINE THAT IF YOUR
BLOOD SUGAR GETS TOO HIGH OR TOO
LOW YOU CAN END UP
IN THE HOSPITAL.
Ella says AND LUCKILY THAT RARELY HAPPENS.
Chase says DID IT EVER HAPPEN TO YOU?
Ella says ONCE.
WHEN I WAS 5.
Chase says TELL ME EVERYTHING.
DON'T LEAVE OUT ONE DETAIL.
Ella says CHASE, THAT'S NOT WHAT
THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT.
Chase says YES IT IS.
(beeping)
OH NO.
IS IT MY FAULT?
DID I DO SOMETHING?
Ella says MY BLOOD SUGAR'S GOING
UP BECAUSE OF STRESS.
Chase says OKAY.
WE NEED TO CALL 911.
Ella says I DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE
HOSPITAL.
I JUST NEED TO GO TO THE NURSE
AND CHECK IF I NEED AN INSULIN
INJECTION.
Chase says INJECTION?
Ella says YOU GET USED TO IT.
I ALSO HAVE TO DO IT WHENEVER
I'M STRESSED AND MY BLOOD
SUGAR SPIKES.
AKA RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF YOU.
Chase says OKAY.
HOP ON MY BACK.
I'LL TAKE YOU.
Ella says NO.
I'M NOT A WEIRDO
BECAUSE I HAVE DIABETES OKAY?
Celeste says HEY.
I JUST GOT AN ALERT ON MY PHONE
THAT YOUR BLOOD SUGAR'S
GOING UP.
Ella says ARE YOU OKAY?
YES BUT CAN YOU
WALK ME TO THE NURSE?
Angry, Ella takes her cell phone away from Chase.
Nicky bumps into Phoenix in a corridor.
Nicky says HIDE ME.
Nicky jumps behind a sofa and Phoenix rushes to sit on it.
Rebecca says YOU HAVEN'T SEEN
MR. ZOLTA HAVE YOU?
Phoenix shakes her head.
Rebecca says I NEED A FEW MORE QUOTES.
Rebecca leaves.
Phoenix says I'M SORRY.
Nicky says OH, THAT WAS CLOSE.
THAT GIRL IS
SERIOUS ABOUT JOURNALISM.
Phoenix says ACTUALLY I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT.
Nicky says IS IT ABOUT NICHOLAS?
Phoenix says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Nicky says I JUST FEEL LIKE
SOMETHING'S UP WITH HIM.
DID HE SAY ANYTHING TO YOU?
YOU GUYS ARE BEST FRIENDS.
HE TRUSTS YOU.
Phoenix says RIGHT.
Nicky says SO, WHAT IS IT?
ARE YOU SURE HE'S OKAY
WITH THIS WHOLE GORGE THING?
Phoenix says NO.
IT'S NOT ABOUT NICHOLAS.
IT'S ABOUT THE WEATHER.
I HEAR THERE'S
LIGHT WINDS TODAY.
BE CAREFUL UP THERE.
Nicky says THANKS BUT I'M OKAY PHOENIX.
IT'S NOTHING I
HAVEN'T HANDLED BEFORE.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT
NICHOLAS THOUGH?
I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT HIM.
Phoenix says I'M SURE IF SOMETHING WERE WRONG
HE'D TELL YOU.
Mimi walks into Chase's bedroom.
Mimi says CHASE, I...IS SOMETHING WRONG?
Chase says ELLA'S MAD AT ME.
Mimi says WHAT HAPPENED?
Chase says I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP BUT
ALL THAT I DID WAS ANNOY HER.
Mimi says IT'S IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION
TO YOUR FRIENDS.
WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT OR
DON'T WANT.
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN.
Chase says YEAH.
Mimi says AND I'M YOUR FRIEND RIGHT?
CHASE, I KNOW YOU
HAVE THE MARBLE.
Chase says REALLY?
BECAUSE TEACHERS ARE ALWAYS
TELLING ME I'VE LOST MY MARBLES.
Mimi says THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR JOKES.
I SAW YOU PICK UP THE MARBLE
SHARDS AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
THERE'S A VIDEO OF IT.
Chase says YOU CAN FAKE ANYTHING WITH
SPECIAL EFFECTS THESE DAYS.
NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I
NEED TO GO TALK TO ELLA.
BYE MS. MARTEL.
Chase closes the door.
Chase opens a drawer and smells a socket.
He says MM-MM.
BLECH.
Then, he finds the marble.
Suddenly, Mimi opens the door and says I KNEW IT.
Chase says OH.
YOU MEANT THIS MARBLE.
Mimi says CHASE.
GIVE IT TO ME NOW.
I PROMISE I'LL KEEP IT SAFE.
Chase says I WANTED TO BE A GOOD SPY.
KEEP THIS A SECRET.
IT'S THE ONLY ONE
I'VE EVER KEPT.
Mimi says IT'S OKAY.
YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
YOUR SECRET'S SAFE WITH ME.
Chase hands Mimi the marble.
Mimi says SEE HOW IMPORTANT IT
IS TO TRUST PEOPLE?
ELLA TRUSTED YOU BUT
YOU DIDN'T LISTEN.
NOW YOU NEED TO
SHOW HER THAT YOU CAN.
Chase says THANKS MS. MARTEL.
Mimi says NO CHASE.
THANK YOU.
Then, Phoenix sits next to Nicholas at the cafeteria.
Phoenix says HEY.
Nicholas says HEY.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU
DIDN'T TALK TO MY DAD.
PHOENIX?
YOU PROMISED.
Phoenix says I KNOW AND I LIED FOR YOU.
I REALLY WISH I HADN'T.
Nicholas says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Phoenix says NICHOLAS, YOUR DAD'S GONNA CROSS
THE GORGE WITHOUT KNOWING HOW
YOU REALLY FEEL.
Nicholas says SO WHAT?
HE'LL CROSS.
I WON'T BE THERE AND EVERYTHING
WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL.
Phoenix says WILL IT?
OR WILL THIS EAT AWAY AT YOU
FOR THE REST FOR YOUR LIFE?
THAT'S NOT FAIR
TO YOU OR TO HIM.
YOU NEED TO GET THIS OUT NOW.
Ella rests in her bedroom.
(knocking)
Chase says BEEP BEEP.
COMING THROUGH.
Ella says WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR?
TRYING TO MAKE A BIG
DEAL ABOUT MY DIABETES?
Chase says NO, BEEP.
IT'S MY MONITOR.
BEEP.
MY DOOFUS MONITOR.
BEEP.
Ironically, Ella says HA HA.
Chase says I'M SORRY I WAS BEEP BEING
WEIRD ABOUT YOUR BEEP DIABETES.
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE COOL
AND FUNNY AND SMART AND...
Ella says TAKE A BREATH CHASE.
Chase says I KNOW DIABETES IS JUST
A PART OF WHO YOU ARE.
Ella says YEAH.
TYPE 1 DIABETES IS A PART OF MY
LIFE BUT IT'S NOT ALL OF ME AND
IT DOESN'T STOP ME FROM
DOING THE THINGS I LOVE.
Chase says YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK I'M
STARTING TO GET IT NOW.
HEY.
I HAVE A NEW VIDEO IDEA.
YOU IN?
Ella nods.
They dance and have fun putting some make up on.
A song plays I'M WANNA MAKE THE
WHOLE WORLD SMILE.
I WANNA GO THAT EXTRA MILE.
THE KIND OF FORCE
THAT'S SECOND OF NONE.
SEARCH OF LOVE.
IN SEARCH OF FUN.
I WANT TO FLY
OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
ABOVE THE CLOUDS
THAT'S WHERE I'LL GO.
FEELING LIKE I CAN
TOUCH THE STARS.
READY TO SHINE.
Chase shows Ella the video he recorded.
On the video, Ella says I MAY HAVE TYPE 1 DIABETES BUT
THAT'S JUST ONE OF A ZILLION
INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT ME.
WOO.
Chase says THAT'S A WRAP.
They high-five.
Now, Mimi is ready to perform.
Mimi says FINALLY IT'S TIME.
At night, the students gather near the Great Gorge.
Rebecca says WE'RE SECONDS AWAY FROM THE
MOMENT EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING
FOR.
FINALLY NICKY ZOLTA AND NOW,
ALSO, MS. MADDIE MARTEL WILL
CROSS THE GREAT GORGE.
MR. ZOLTA.
YOU'RE BIG MOMENT IS HERE.
TELL US WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND.
Wearing his eagle outfit, Nicky says I FEEL LUCKY.
LUCKY BECAUSE I'VE HAD AN
AMAZING CAREER AND I'M HAPPY TO
HELP CIRCO GRAN MALABAR BUT
TONIGHT, TONIGHT I DO THIS FOR
MY SON BECAUSE I
WANT HIM TO BE PROUD.
Rebecca says LET'S CHAT WITH HIM.
WHERE IS HE?
Nicky says UH.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE HE'S LATE.
Rebecca says WELL, OUR LIVE
STREAM IS RIGHT ON TIME.
THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR THE
EARTH DEFYING EAGLE TO DO HIS
THING.
GOOD LUCK MR. ZOLTA.
(applause)
Nicholas yells DAD.
DAD.
Nicky says WHAT IS IT?
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
Rebecca says NICHOLAS ZOLTA EVERYONE.
OFFERING HIS DAD SOME LAST
MINUTE WORDS OF SUPPORT.
LET'S LISTEN IN.
Nicholas says I WANTED TO BE HERE TO CHEER YOU
ON LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BUT...
Nicky says IT'S OKAY SON.
YOU CAN TALK TO ME.
Nicholas says I GET BEING A DAREDEVIL IS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU BUT WHAT
IF I LOSE YOU AGAIN?
WHAT IF I LOSE YOU FOREVER?
Nicky says I LOVE BEING A DAREDEVIL.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN IT WAS THE
IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE BUT
NOW THAT'S YOU.
Nicholas says I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU
CHOSE BETWEEN THIS AND ME.
Nicky says YOU DON'T HAVE TO NICHOLAS
BECAUSE THE CHOICE IS ALREADY
MADE.
I WANT TO BE THE FATHER I ALWAYS
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND THAT'S WHY
I WILL NOT BE
CROSSING THE GORGE TONIGHT.
(whispering)
Rebecca says LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
THE EARTH DEFYING EAGLE HAS
CHOSEN HIS FAMILY AND DECIDED
NOT TO PERFORM THE STUNT.
WE'RE SO GONNA WIN
AN AWARD FOR THIS.
Nicky says I'M SORRY MADDIE IT LOOKS YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO GO IT ALONE.
ALL EYES ON YOU.
Mimi says ALL EYES ON ME.
VERY WELL THEN.
Rebecca says WE'RE LIVE AND THIS JUST IN.
MS. MADDIE MARTEL HAS STEPPED IN
AND IS HEROICALLY GOING TO CROSS
THE GORGE SOLO.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING MADDIE?
Mimi says INVINCIBLE.
Rebecca says YOU'VE REALLY SAVED THE DAY.
NOW IT'S YOUR MOMENT.
HERE WE GO.
Mimi walks down the wire doing the splits and cross the Great Gorge.
(cheering)
(applause)
Celeste says WAY TO GO
MS. MARTEL.
Rosa says THAT WAS
AMAZING.
Mimi says I DID IT.
I REALLY
DID IT.
Rebecca says MADDIE MARTEL.
YOU'RE A HERO.
YOU'VE DONE WHAT YOUR SISTER
COULDN'T AND CROSSED THE GREAT
GORGE SUCCESSFULLY.
NOW TELL YOUR MILLIONS
OF NEW FANS HOW YOU FEEL?
The students chant MADDIE.
Mimi says INVISIBLE.
I FEEL INVISIBLE.
On the phone, Max says DAD.
I WAS WRONG.
I THOUGHT MIMI WOULD
SHOW UP BUT SHE NEVER DID.
ANOTHER DEAD END.
I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING
BETTER LUCK WHEREVER YOU ARE.
The end credits roll.
