battles with your mother

because she is a fighter.

(LAUGHS)

This Blue Bonnet deal

means so much to her.

And I think it's really

nice, you going along.

But you know there's more

to life than beauty pageants.

You know that, right?

I'm aware.

All right. I'll shut up.

Can I have one?

No, you may not, but you

can have a sip of mine.

(LAUGHS) Oh! Go. He took it to him.

That was a nice...

That was a good block.

Since when do you like football?

(BURPS)

l don't. I better go.

Hey. Listen up. Just

a brief announcement,

then you get right back to your food.

The championship bout is November 1 2th.

(ALL CHEERING)

You got your flyers right there.

If the Hurl Scouts win

one more game, we're in it.

Good luck with that.

Now I'd like to yield the

floor to Miss Eva Destruction.

Love you, Eva.

Thank you.

in the grand derby tradition,

as you know, the new poster girl is

revealed by a member of another team.

Sorry, Widows.

Suck on this, girls.

(HURL SCOUTS EXCLAIMING)

ROSA:
Yes.

Very cute. Very cute indeed.

One for our team, man.

There she is.

Yeah, yeah. Make the face.

Make the face. Do it.

Yeah.

(ALL LAUGHING)

(ALL CHATTERING)

SMASHLEY:
Exactly.

Congratulations, Ruthless.

Hey, Smash.

What's up, Maven?

Hurl Scouts. What up?

l just wanna Congratulate

you on your new poster child.

ALL:
Yeah. Thanks.

Yeah, you worked hard

for that, didn't you?

That's really kind of you.

Hey. HOLLY:
Hey, hey. Hey.

You guys hang on a sec.

That's okay.

It's just a French fry. That's

Maven, man.

(LAUGHS)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Food fight!

BROOKE:
Gorgeous. Just beautiful.

How's your speech coming?

It's good.

Okay. Turn around.

(GASPS)

What is that?

Oh, it's... I tripped at work.

Are you okay?

It's a bruise. I can handle it.

lt looks like it hurt. It's fine.

(SIGHS)

You got to be kidding me.

Oh, sh*t.

JOHNNY ON PA.. ThIs is

an important game, folks.

This is the last game

before the championship.

The winner today goes

on to the big game.

And Ruthless is your lead

jammer and she gets through.

And the Scouts score four points.

(BUZZER SOUNDS) The

Hurl Scouts have won.

(WHOOPS)

Listen to how high my voice

is. I need an hour of Oprah.

I'm like a woman. I need

a white wine spritzer.

(SIREN WAILS)

POLICEMAN ON MEGAPHONE.. By

order of the fire marshal,

you are hereby ordered

to evacuate the building.

JOHNNY.. Well, this game is over, folks.

The Holy Rollers are

already in the championship,

so now the Hurl Scouts

will play the Rollers

in the championship

game on November 1 2th.

Come on, man, roller

derby is not a crime.

illegally filling a warehouse

with too many people is. Wait

here. I gotta go find Oliver.

Hey, hey, you two. l

need to see your lD.

l was just leaving.

Look, you can show me your

ID, or you can go to jail.

Young lady, what was

that you just disposed of?

Seventeen, huh? Don't you think

you're kind of far from home?

That's why I was leaving.

Yeah, good idea.

Hey. Hi. Come on.

What do you say? Cherry Slurpees

to celebrate our last night?

l gotta find Pash.

(YOUR ARMS AROUND ME PLAYING)

(SINGING) I was slicing up an avocado

When you came up behind me

With your silent brand new sneakers

Your reflection I did not see

lt was the hottest day in August

We were heading for the sea

For a second my mind started drifting

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around

From your mouth speaks your lovely voice

The softest words ever spoken

What's broken can always be fixed

What's fixed will always be broken

(NO SURPRISES PLAYING)

(SINGING) A heart that's

full up like a landfill

A job that slowly kills you

Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired-unhappy

Bring down the government

They don't They don't speak for us

Where the hell have you been?

We got a phone call from Pash's

parents at about 3:00 in the morning.

That wasn't fun.

This is your SAT class?

Excuse me, what are you doing?

You can't do that. I paid for those.

Hey, you lied, kiddo, all

right? That dog ain't gonna hunt.

Okay. All right, I screwed up.

l get it, but what was I supposed to...

Was I supposed to ask for permission?

I mean, you would have just said no.

You're damn straight,

we would have said no.

What do you think

that the world thinks of those

girls with aIl their tattoos?

Do you think they have an

easy time finding a job?

Or getting a loan application?

Or going to a decent college?

l think it depends on the girl.

Or finding a husband?

No, you just limit your choices.

Seriously, you need to stop.

You really need to stop shoving

your psychotic idea of '50s

womanhood down my throat.

And pageants? I mean, what

have they ever done for you?

That's my point, Bliss.

I didn't have a mother

to navigate all my

opportunities. Jesus Christ.

I am in love with this.

l mean. don't you get it?

It won't last.

in two or three years, it'll

be over. This is a moment.

Well, how great is that?

You don't understand.

You will when you have

to support yourself.

l do support myself.

No, you don't.

You buy shoes.

You're full of sh*t.

You know what, actually...

Hey.

Hey, you calm down, little lady.

Why don't you go back

to your turtle shell

so you don't have to

freaking confront anything?

(SNIFFLES)

You all right?

l just don't wanna talk about it.

Pash, come on.

You told me to wait for you.

l was so busy waiting for you

that I didn't notice the cop

coming over to arrest

me for an open container.

Sh*t, are you okay?

No, actually, I'm not okay, all right?

On top of everything, my parents

decided to put a GPS in my car

so they can track my every goddamn move.

So what's your problem?

Hope the joyride with your

boyfriend was worth it.

Wait, wait. How is this my fault, okay?

l didn't put that drink in your hand.

You know what? I'm ecstatic

that you have this whole new life

and you have all new

friends and it's great.

But I'm trying to get out of this

armpit of a town just as much as you.

And last time I checked,

getting arrested is not

the kind of extracurricular

that Ivy League schools are looking for.

Do you really think that this roller

derby career of yours is going anywhere?

That's not what it's about.

Oh, yeah, right.

I'm sorry, Pash.

Thanks for letting me stay.

Anytime.

(RILEY GRUNTING)

That's Riley back there.

He's my little man.

So that's why you

never come out with us?

Yeah, he pretty much owns

my ass. Don't you, Rile?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Okay, first stop, sitter.

Then the Warehouse.

Ruthless, Ruthless, Ruthless.

Maven, Maven, Maven?

Hey, guess how old I am.

Twenty-seven?

Oh, that's sweet.

I'm 36.

Guess when I started skating.

I was 31 .

'Cause it took me that long to find

one thing that I was really good at.
