Sorry I think Ray came up with the idea first! I just happened to watch this movie and when her cushioning broke it was funny to see the padding all over the rink! - bandit51jd, Sep 21, 2010
Yes, it is funny :) - FELIZ77, Sep 21, 2010
She looks like she might be saying: " Like,(well) what happened, here? or " What went wrong? - FELIZ77, Sep 21, 2010
When she fell the cushion broke and the padding was those little foam packing "peanuts"! Now I think of the words! - bandit51jd, Sep 21, 2010
