Whip It Page #3

A jammer scores a point in this course

by passing members of the opposite team.

Maven gets a great jump. That's fast.

And she's out to an early lead.

Iron Maven, ladies and gentlemen.

Folks. the ones to watch

tonight are the jammers.

Those are the ones with

the stars on their helmets.

Some of you might remember watching

derby on TV back in the '7 0s,

but it was reborn right

here in the heart of Texas,

a true Austin tradition.

Maven's heading up on the outside

but it's real crowded in there.

(GRUNTS) That's a big

hit by Rosa Sparks.

Jackie Daniels is down.

Lucky for the Hurl Scouts

this is only an exhibition bout

because the Rollers are in control.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKER)

(CROWD CHATTERING)

MAN:
Thank you, Maggie.

l just wanna tell you all

that you're my new heroes.

It's your first time here?

Yeah.

Well, put some skates

on, be your own hero.

(LAUGHS)

The last time I wore skates,

they had Barbies on them.

Hey, you know, none of us knew our

ass from an elbow pad when we started.

You should come to tryouts on Tuesday.

You have to be 21 . You're 21 , right?

Two:
I'm 22.

Yeah, I just had my...

I had my birthday, so...

Great, it's this Tuesday at 5:00.

It is? Yeah.

I'm Maggie, Maggie Mayhem.

I'm Bliss, but I can change that.

Yeah, you'll have to change that.

Don't be late.

"Twenty-two. Just had my birthday."

Twenty-one, it's a red flag.

Twenty-two's way more believable.

l guess, 'cause you're not actually

gonna do it, so I guess it makes sense.

Why don't you and I try out?

Excuse me?

l didn't have a

Barbie-roller-skating phase. Okay?

l had a fat-kid-sits-inside-

and-reads-a-book phase.

You know that.

Well, what makes you

think I won't try out?

(CLEARS THROAT)

(CHUCKLES) Because you'd

be scared to go without me.

And those roller derby

girls, they're tough.

And you are not. Ow!

Gee. How dare you?

Not to mention your mom.

She doesn't have to know.

You don't have the baIls.

l can grow the balls.

(WHIMPERING)

No way.

Mm.

Hey.

Do you have room for one more?

l like your hair.

Thanks, hon. I do it myself.

DRIVER:
All right, next

stop, downtown Austin.

DERBY PLAYER 1 :
Hey.

DERBY PLAYER 2:
Hey.

What's your derby name?

Pocket Rocket.

What's yours?

Jaba the Slut.

Hey, you made it. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'm glad you came.

Thanks.

What is that?

That would be Razor. He's our coach.

He's a good guy. And he

really knows his derby.

All right, ladies. Let's roll.

Ooh, jean shorts.

Every single day.

(METAL BANGING)

Meet the Manson sisters.

Gift from the Ottawa Women's

Hockey League to the Hurl Scouts.

They both seem really aggressive.

Maybe we can finally

win a few this year.
