Bring It On: Fight to the Finish

1

LlNA:
We're gonna be

real Rough Riders

in the building.

You know, l ain't stopping

until our high school squad

is an All Star squad.

Are you all down?

We've got your back, Lina.

Yeah, girl, we tighter

than a new weave.

Go! Fight! Kill !

l mean, win !

Where you going,

cheer-quitas?

The Spirit Championship.

That's where the baddest

All Star squads go to compete.

You don't look like

no All Stars, ma.

(LAUGHS)

Well, we're not. Yet.

But we will be.

Then l guess you

ain't got one of these.

(GASPS)

That's an All Star

bracelet. But. . .

Only the best of the best

cheerleaders win those.

How did you get one?

How you think?

You probably stole it.

l know you did.

Whatever.

(UPBEAT HlP-HOP MUSlC PLAYlNG)

(STUDENTS CHEERlNG)

That's going on right here.

Come on, bring it.

ALL CHEERlNG)

(UPBEAT DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG)

ALL CHEERlNG)

Catalina!

No, mami!

Lina, what are you doing?

She married the gabacho!

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

Stop! You're

ruining everything !

ALL LAUGHlNG)

(SQUEALlNG) Stop!

What's going on here?

(DlSTORTED) Cheer your

little barrio hearts out!

But Lina's coming to

live with me and my

daughter in Malibu !

ALL SHOUTlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)

No!

(GROANS)

lt was just a dream.

lt was just a bad dream.

(SlGHS)

Now the real nightmare begins.

Oh, whoa, whoa.

Let me help you

with that, Wife.

Thank you, Husband.

l know we sound silly,

but l'll never get

tired of hearing it.

And l'll never get

tired of saying it.

(GROANS lN DlSGUST)

l'm glad l skipped breakfast.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Lina, you don't have to go

to school today, honey.

Actually, yes, l do.

lt's my last day in East LA,

and as captain,

l need to handle

some squad business.

l can give you

a ride if you want.

Mmm-mmm.

No. l'd rather walk.

Or get dragged by a bus.

Lina, be nice.

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

Look, l'm gonna be

late. l have to go.

All right. Bye.

Sorry.

Oh. No, no, no. Honey, listen,

you got to give her a

little time. She'll adjust.

Then we'll be one big happy

family. l promise. Okay?

l hate him.

And his daughter,

she creeps me out.

She's like way too

Single White Female.

She's probably just

mad excited about

having a new sister.

Treyvonetta, come on.

Sky is not my sister.

Not by cheer,

blood or marriage.

l feel you, Lina,

but for real though,

girl, you can't

complain about

moving to Malibu.

You about to be living large.

Yeah, right.

Uh-oh. Love birds alert.

Wassup?

Trey and Lina are

here, okay? l got to go.

Come on, mija,

you know l love you.

As much as you love this car?

Hey,

at least she lets me get

under the hood. You don't.

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

Watch it, girl.

Oh ! l will watch it.

You don't want none of

these Golden Gloves.

TREY:
Get him, G.

Easy, Oscar de la Ha-Ha.

And you'd better not be

late picking me up.

What did l tell you about

bossing me around in front of

your girly girls like that?

At 4:
30, Victor.

(SCOFFS) You can't

tell me what to do.

l'm a man.

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

l'll be here at 4: 1 5 to

pick up your little pom poms.

Hey, make sure you two

watch over my baby

girl for me, all right?

Victor, go.

We got this. Go.

ln the Gloria-mobile.

This is so messed up, man !

l mean, now we're never

gonna get to be All Stars

without you, Lina.

No, no, no.

We're going to be All Stars.

These quickie marriages,

they never last. l'll be back.

Okay, so if you're so sure

you're gonna be back,

then why don't you just

come and stay with me?

Because my mom

thinks that going

to school in Malibu

is the best thing that

ever happened to me.

She's like, "You'll get a

better education. lt's safe.

l won't have to worry."

Seriously, what is

there to worry about?

Besides, this is the

first year our squad is

actually tight enough

to become real All Stars.

ALL SQUEALlNG)

That's what l'm

talking about.

Show everyone we're for real.

See, that's what

l'm talking about.

l want you to be

captain while l'm gone.

Mmm-hmm. Me?

Captain? Yeah. Why?

Because, besides me,

like, you have the

most cheer experience.

That is true, G.

You probably came out the

womb like this, "Give me a. . ."

(lMlTATES BABY CRYlNG)

(LAUGHlNG)

That looks like me.

But l don't do captain,

all right? l hate being

in charge, man.

Whatever, you the one

that got Victor wrapped

around your baby finger.

Yeah.

l think you can handle it.

That's because l've got

something Victor wants.

But he ain't gonna get it.

He ain't gonna get it!

Okay, you guys, the new

beginning until the

ripple goes like this.

We're gonna change it now.

lt starts with the same arm,

same leg.

lt goes one, two, three, four.

Girls go back on five.

(YAWNlNG)

(LAUGHlNG)

Hit six, six, seven

then eight. Ripple style.

Yeah, let's try that

with the music. Ready?

(UPBEAT DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Five, six, seven, eight.

Go one, two, three, four.

Go back, six. . .

ALL LAUGH)

This is a cheer-wreck.

Yeah, our girl is

dying over there.

l feel like a witness

to a cheer-icide.

You think she'll get better?

Hell no.

(CHATTERlNG)

Really!

Listen, you all need

to drop the attitude,

because while l'm gone,

Gloria is gonna

be the captain.

ALL PROTESTlNG)

Okay, it's like that, huh?

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

(GROANS lN DlSGUST)

That's not very captain-like.

Oh ! l'm sorry. My bad.

Look, if we want to be

All Stars, then we need to

practice like All Stars. Okay?

Now let's do this. Line up.

Yeah, okay.

Keep it loose.

Oh ! This ought to be good.

Charmaine, don't forget,

pop on six, not seven.

Five, six,

seven, eight. Music.

(UPBEAT DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Right. Okay.

Remember, All Stars,

that's what we want.

Yes. Yes.

All right. Pick it up.

Okay, this is tight.

This is tight, ladies.

Now, out!

ln you go, hard.

That was hot. Go.

Bring it in.

Come on.

East LA! East LA!

East LA! East LA!

ALL CHEERlNG)

ln your face.

But they couldn't do

that five minutes ago.

What's this?

Just a little something

so you won't forget us.

Come on, guys,

l can't forget you.

You're my cheer sisters.

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

l miss you guys already.

(SlGHS)

Come back soon,

you know, Lina. Real soon.

Catalina, mi amor, mi amor.

lt's time to go.

(SLOW SONG PLAYING)

East Los.

LlNA:
Forever.

TREY:
Don't forget

us, Lina. We love you.

So, how many

families live here?

One. But it just

doubled in size.

Now, listen, l want you both

to feel really comfortable

here. Mi casa es su casa.

Thanks, Enrique.

Come on, that's not how

Henry pronounces his name.

lt's okay. She can call

me whatever she wants.

Really? Well how about. . .

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

Only if you can

say it in church.

Well that's really gonna

limit my vocabulary.

(LAUGHlNG)

Wow!

This is my room?

l don't think l belong

here, you guys.

Oh. . .

Oh. No. Now that's bootleg.

How are they gonna have

a broken toilet right

next to a new one?

(LAUGHS)

lt's not a toilet, Lina.

lt's a bidet.

A. . . What?

A bidet.

You use it to wash your. . .
