Leap! Quote

Odette: [places a bell on a tree branch]Jump and ring the bell.
Felicie: Why?
Odette: Just do it.
Felicie: You don't want me to dance?
Odette: No talking. Jump and ring the bell. [Felicie obeys]
Odette: Again.
Felicie: You said we were going to train.
Odette: This is it. Again. [Felicie shrugs, then jumps and rings the bell again]
Odette: Felicie, you lack precision and finesse. You have little or no sense of rhythm. You're without balance, grace, and charm. [as she says this, she pours water around Felicie, creating a puddle]
Felicie: [lightheartedly]Come on! You can't tell all that from one jump! Can you? [Odette doesn't answer; Felicie hangs her head in shame]
Felicie: You can.
Odette: On the good side, you have the energy of a bullet. But you also have the lightness of a depressed elephant.
Felicie: [surprised]Hey! MÚrante used exactly the same phrase!
Odette: After ten years of cleaning, you pick stuff up. Okay, now jump up, ring this bell, land, and do not splash the water.
Felicie: [looking down at her reflection in the puddle]That's impossible.
Odette: [whispers]I thought it was your dream to dance.
