1. Roller Jam, people.
Copy !req
2. It is about to go off at Roll With It.
Copy !req
3. Biggest skate meet-up of all time.
Copy !req
4. OMG!
Copy !req
5. A weekend of can't-miss events
Copy !req
6. leading up to an epic skate night
Copy !req
7. with a personal appearance
Copy !req
8. by your favorite superhero and mine.
Copy !req
9. Stop right there, Moon Girl.
Copy !req
10. My name is Brian Glory,
Copy !req
11. and I've won every
wheel-related contest there is.
Copy !req
12. And there are surprisingly many.
But I digress.
Copy !req
13. I hear they call you
the best thing on wheels.
Copy !req
14. But that ends today.
Copy !req
15. You, me, let's go.
Copy !req
16. - Time to take you down.
- Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
17. But in the spirit of Roller Jam,
I'm here to tell you
Copy !req
18. that skating is about love and community,
Copy !req
19. not about takedowns and competitions.
Copy !req
20. So I'm gonna pass. See you!
Copy !req
21. But-but-but...
Copy !req
22. Whoa!
Copy !req
23. Roller Jam at Roll With It
Copy !req
24. for the first time ever!
Copy !req
25. I know, right?
Copy !req
26. Welcome to Roller Jam.
Copy !req
27. Hope you got your roll call moves ready
Copy !req
28. for closing night, y'all.
Copy !req
29. NYC! How about a sneak peek?
Copy !req
30. Show 'em how it's done.
Copy !req
31. Adria! Hey, baby, look!
Look at me. I'm doing it!
Copy !req
32. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Copy !req
33. You'll get 'em next time, Dad.
Copy !req
34. Can you believe this, Case?
Copy !req
35. Skaters from all over the country
Copy !req
36. right here in my family's rink
for the biggest Roller Jam in history!
Copy !req
37. This weekend's gonna be fire!
Copy !req
38. My beautiful skating fam,
my sweet rink rats,
Copy !req
39. welcome to Roll With It.
Copy !req
40. When I laid this wood with my
own hands almost 50 years ago,
Copy !req
41. it was my dream to build
a place where our community
Copy !req
42. could do the thing we love
with the people we love.
Copy !req
43. A place where no matter
what nonsense was going on
Copy !req
44. outside these walls,
right here on this wood,
Copy !req
45. it would all just melt away.
Copy !req
46. Now, I don't need to tell you
how rinks like these
Copy !req
47. are disappearing across this country.
Copy !req
48. You know that.
Copy !req
49. Greedy landlords pricing us out
left and right.
Copy !req
50. But as long as I'm here,
Copy !req
51. there is gonna be a place to roll in NYC.
Copy !req
52. So let's make this the best
Roller Jam in history.
Copy !req
53. Aw, smooth moves, Lafayette.
Copy !req
54. Thanks for the warm-up act.
Now for the main event.
Copy !req
55. - What's he doing here?
- Those two can't be together.
Copy !req
56. Vernell Lewis?
Copy !req
57. I know, and I even got more handsome.
Copy !req
58. And who's ever heard
of getting more hair with age?
Copy !req
59. Well, not you.
Shiny, though.
Copy !req
60. Ooh, this can't be good.
Copy !req
61. Is that the Vernell?
Copy !req
62. As in, Pops' former
best friend-slash-skate partner
Copy !req
63. turned mortal enemy?
Copy !req
64. The one and only.
Copy !req
65. I thought they agreed never
to attend the same Jam
Copy !req
66. after what went down in Philly
all those years ago.
Copy !req
67. They did. The one time they tried,
the weekend was a disaster.
Copy !req
68. I gotta say, I was surprised
to get your invitation.
Copy !req
69. My invi— What now?
Copy !req
70. I'm so sorry!
Copy !req
71. Wait, Lu handled the invites.
Copy !req
72. Well, I sent them to everyone
in Pops' address book,
Copy !req
73. just like you said.
Copy !req
74. You didn't read the note next to his name?
Copy !req
75. Oh.
Copy !req
76. I, uh...
Copy !req
77. might have been a little distracted.
Copy !req
78. But then I thought,
if Lafayette's finally ready
Copy !req
79. to stand up and take responsibility,
Copy !req
80. then the least I can do is let him.
Copy !req
81. Take responib— Now, what about that—
Copy !req
82. Is this really happening?
Copy !req
83. I never thought I'd see the day.
Copy !req
84. Shake his hand. Shake it.
Copy !req
85. All righty, I'm gonna go hit
my usual spot on Orchard.
Copy !req
86. They've always got a room
ready for Vernell.
Copy !req
87. I know y'all hate to see me go,
Copy !req
88. but y'all love to watch me leave.
Copy !req
89. Um, Mr. Vernell,
if you mean that old hotel
Copy !req
90. on Orchard and Delancey,
Copy !req
91. it's now a cryo bar-slash-
cold-pressed juicery.
Copy !req
92. A what-ery? Well, gee.
Every room's gonna be booked up.
Copy !req
93. Where's a man supposed to rest his head?
Copy !req
94. - How about your place, Pops?
- He can stay with you.
Copy !req
95. - Yeah, hook him up.
- Yeah, Pops.
Copy !req
96. What about you, Pops?
Copy !req
97. He can stay with you.
Copy !req
98. Hey, he should stay with you.
Copy !req
99. You'll... stay with us.
Copy !req
100. Well, isn't that kind of you, Lafayette,
Copy !req
101. but you'd better give me the good pillow.
Copy !req
102. Ugh.
Copy !req
103. Mimi, what just happened?
Copy !req
104. Roller Jam just got put on life support,
is what happened.
Copy !req
105. Ugh!
Copy !req
106. We had a system.
Split custody of Roller Jam.
Copy !req
107. I get the right half of the U.S. map,
Copy !req
108. and he gets the left.
Copy !req
109. See, that way we could keep the peace.
Copy !req
110. But I thought Roller Jam
was about bringing folks together.
Copy !req
111. Yeah, well, Vernell is the one exception.
Copy !req
112. You know, maybe it's time
to let sleeping dogs lie.
Copy !req
113. Once upon a time, you had
a lot of love in your heart
Copy !req
114. for that man.
Copy !req
115. Yeah, well, that's ancient history.
Copy !req
116. Please, Pops, for the sake of the Jam,
Copy !req
117. could you try to get along?
Copy !req
118. I'll try, but no promises.
Copy !req
119. Ah, best sleep of my life!
Copy !req
120. Ooh-whee, something smells
all kind of good up in here.
Copy !req
121. I hope y'all are hungry.
Copy !req
122. We've got a big breakfast
to carry us through
Copy !req
123. a full day of Roller Jam events.
Copy !req
124. All leading up to the big
skate night tomorrow
Copy !req
125. with the L.E.S.'s own
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
Copy !req
126. I follow all the news stories
about that Moon Girl.
Copy !req
127. I am in awe of what
that young lady's doing.
Copy !req
128. I... I agree.
Copy !req
129. It's real special having a hero
out there on skates,
Copy !req
130. just like us.
Copy !req
131. Amen to that. Ooh!
Copy !req
132. She's the greatest thing on wheels.
Copy !req
133. Except for me, of course.
Copy !req
134. Nah, I'm the best thing
on wheels and her biggest fan.
Copy !req
135. Oh, please. I am the president
of the SRPMGNFC:
Copy !req
136. Semi-Retired Persons
Moon Girl Nation Fan Club.
Copy !req
137. That's nice, that's nice,
but I am the president
Copy !req
138. and secretary of the Chicago chapter.
Copy !req
139. Still don't like sharing
the spotlight, huh, James?
Copy !req
140. Oh, well, how about you?
Copy !req
141. You still bail on folks
without explanation?
Copy !req
142. Hey, uh, pancakes!
Copy !req
143. Good, right?
Copy !req
144. Now who's ready
to get their Roller Jam on?
Copy !req
145. Yay?
Copy !req
146. Our mission today,
Copy !req
147. keep the peace between those old-timers.
Copy !req
148. Or, if that fails, hide the war.
Copy !req
149. Let's do it!
Copy !req
150. They're gonna
ruin Roller Jam, Case.
Copy !req
151. - And it's all my fault.
- No.
Copy !req
152. We just have to keep them totally apart
for the duration of closing night.
Copy !req
153. We're barely pulling it off as it is.
Copy !req
154. I don't know what went down
between Pops and Vernell,
Copy !req
155. but Mimi says they
used to be like brothers.
Copy !req
156. Is keeping them apart really the answer?
Copy !req
157. Our last friend fight didn't get resolved
Copy !req
158. until we actually talked it out, right?
Copy !req
159. So maybe we need to get them
to hash it out once and for all.
Copy !req
160. Oh! I love that our friendship
is a blueprint.
Copy !req
161. But who could possibly get
those old birds to communicate?
Copy !req
162. It'd have to be someone
they both love and admire
Copy !req
163. - and fear just a little bit—
- Ooh!
Copy !req
164. She's the greatest thing on wheels.
Copy !req
165. Moon Girl!
Copy !req
166. Lu, beating up old people is a crime.
Copy !req
167. Just trust me, okay?
Copy !req
168. "As an esteemed president
of your local..."
Copy !req
169. "... Moon Girl Nation Fan Club..."
Copy !req
170. "... you are cordially invited to a..."
Copy !req
171. "... Roller Jam meet-and-greet
tomorrow with..."
Copy !req
172. - "... Moon Girl!"
- "... Moon Girl!"
Copy !req
173. - Yes!
- Hot diggity dog!
Copy !req
174. I knew I was her biggest fan!
Copy !req
175. - Now, let's see...
- What to I press to confirm?
Copy !req
176. Moon Girl's number-one fan has arrived.
Copy !req
177. Moon Girl Nation, prepare to— Huh?
Copy !req
178. What's he doing here?
Copy !req
179. - Moon Girl!
- Moon Girl!
Copy !req
180. It is such an honor to meet you.
Copy !req
181. I am your biggest fan.
Copy !req
182. Actually, I'm your biggest fan.
Copy !req
183. And I'm the biggest fan of both of you.
Copy !req
184. Your skating is legendary.
Copy !req
185. Cut that out.
Copy !req
186. - What can I say?
- Not really. I mean—
Copy !req
187. I heard the routines you
used to do were something else.
Copy !req
188. I also heard that you were
more like brothers
Copy !req
189. than skate partners.
Copy !req
190. How in the world did you get this?
Copy !req
191. Oh, you know. Moon Girl Magic.
Copy !req
192. Remember that night?
Copy !req
193. We'd just been
turned away from a rink.
Copy !req
194. Said we couldn't skate
'cause it wasn't Soul Night.
Copy !req
195. Yeah, not that it
was the first time.
Copy !req
196. Didn't matter
if they called it "Soul Night,"
Copy !req
197. "Gospel Night," or even "MLK Night."
Copy !req
198. All meant the same thing.
Copy !req
199. People like us weren't welcome.
Copy !req
200. But that night, we saw it.
Copy !req
201. The perfect spot
to open our own rink.
Copy !req
202. It would be a place
Copy !req
203. where everyone was welcome every night.
Copy !req
204. But first,
we had to make our mark
Copy !req
205. at the Philly Roller Jam.
Copy !req
206. We'd raise our profile
so we could raise some money
Copy !req
207. and build our dream.
Copy !req
208. But...
Copy !req
209. We just went our separate ways.
Copy !req
210. Opened our own rinks in different cities.
Copy !req
211. Vernell, maybe it's time
Copy !req
212. we put all that business
in Philly behind us
Copy !req
213. once and for all.
Copy !req
214. I'd like that, James.
Copy !req
215. I, uh... I forgive you, Vernell.
Copy !req
216. Whoa, whoa, you forgive me?
You forgive me? How dare you.
Copy !req
217. I forgive you, you selfish, upstaging,
Copy !req
218. spotlight-hogging backstabber.
Copy !req
219. You are the selfish one,
you no-good rolling stone
Copy !req
220. who abandoned me and our dreams
Copy !req
221. and skated out of that rink
and out of my life forever.
Copy !req
222. Well, time-out. If you feel that way,
Copy !req
223. why did you invite me
to Roller Jam, Lafayette?
Copy !req
224. I didn't invite you!
Never did, never would,
Copy !req
225. never, never, never!
Copy !req
226. No, no, no, no.
Remember your breakthrough?
Copy !req
227. Let's go back to that.
Copy !req
228. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
229. Time for another challenge, Moon Girl.
Copy !req
230. How about we talk more
about how great Moon Girl is?
Copy !req
231. Oh, look! Who wants to try
my bubble blaster?
Copy !req
232. Ah! Whoa!
Copy !req
233. Come on. You two don't want
to keep this up forever, do you?
Copy !req
234. She's right.
It's time we put this feud to rest
Copy !req
235. once and for all, Lafayette.
Copy !req
236. - Yes!
- You, me,
Copy !req
237. tonight at the Jam.
Copy !req
238. We're having a skate-off.
Copy !req
239. No.
Copy !req
240. Oh, yes. Loser is banned
Copy !req
241. from all Roller Jams forever.
Copy !req
242. - That's fine by me.
- Please, don't.
Copy !req
243. There's gotta be something
I can do to fix this.
Copy !req
244. There is. As best skater in the L.E.S.,
Copy !req
245. you can be the judge.
Copy !req
246. Ha-ha!
Copy !req
247. Y'all seen Lu? I wanna show her my moves.
Copy !req
248. Whoa!
Copy !req
249. She's... building... a... regenerative...
cryogenic... cooling... tower...
Copy !req
250. - Yup, that's a thing.
- Ooh, that sounds science-y.
Copy !req
251. - It does, doesn't it?
- Oh, hey!
Copy !req
252. Welcome to the Jam. So glad you came out.
Copy !req
253. Great night, isn't it?
Copy !req
254. Oh, I know, D.
Copy !req
255. This is what Roller Jam's all about.
Copy !req
256. And if we're lucky, maybe Pops
and Vernell won't even...
Copy !req
257. show up.
Copy !req
258. Hope you have fun, 'cause this will be
your last night on the wood, Lafayette.
Copy !req
259. Vernell, I'm about to retire you
and those dusty wheels you call skates.
Copy !req
260. I got some dust you can eat.
Copy !req
261. Let's do this, Moon Girl.
Copy !req
262. Time to choose, Moon Girl.
Copy !req
263. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
264. I call this move the Oil Spot,
'cause it is too slick.
Copy !req
265. I call this move Peanut Buttah,
Copy !req
266. 'cause I lay it on smooth.
Copy !req
267. Must have a peanut allergy,
'cause that ain't nothing.
Copy !req
268. Don't forget
to share the wood, please.
Copy !req
269. I'm talking to you, Pops and Vernell.
Copy !req
270. Come on, guys. We know your moves are hot,
Copy !req
271. but let's cool it down.
Copy !req
272. Forget it. That ship has sailed.
Copy !req
273. Just like your hairline, Lafayette.
Copy !req
274. Please don't go!
Copy !req
275. We haven't even done roll call yet.
Copy !req
276. Time to call it, Moon Girl.
Copy !req
277. Try to let him down easy,
would you, Moon Girl?
Copy !req
278. - He's a much older man.
- Older? Two weeks older.
Copy !req
279. His heart is fragile.
Copy !req
280. Yeah, but not
as fragile as his ego.
Copy !req
281. Enough! That's enough!
Copy !req
282. This is not what Roller Jam's about.
Copy !req
283. The community you both
worked so hard to build,
Copy !req
284. the thing you dreamed about,
you're ruining it.
Copy !req
285. Every day, it feels like another
one of our beloved rinks
Copy !req
286. gets scooped up,
Copy !req
287. loses their lease to some big box store.
Copy !req
288. We're in a fight for our culture here.
Copy !req
289. The biggest threat should be
coming from the corporations
Copy !req
290. and the landlords,
not from our own godfathers,
Copy !req
291. the heartbeat of this community.
Copy !req
292. - Uh, well, I...
- I...
Copy !req
293. Well...
Copy !req
294. Hello, Roller Jam.
Copy !req
295. - My name is—
- Not now, Brian!
Copy !req
296. Yes, now! Aw, you remembered my name.
Copy !req
297. But, ironically, I just changed it.
Copy !req
298. Funny story. I rolled by
this estate sale this one time.
Copy !req
299. Found the best upgrades.
Got the best deal.
Copy !req
300. Just been waiting for
the best occasion to wear 'em.
Copy !req
301. So, yeah, I'm Blue Streak now.
Copy !req
302. I want the title
of "Best Thing on Wheels,"
Copy !req
303. and I'm taking out
the competition by any means.
Copy !req
304. I am the best! Roller Jam is mine!
Copy !req
305. All mine! Me, me, me!
Copy !req
306. Son, Roller Jam doesn't belong to anyone.
Copy !req
307. It belongs to everyone.
Copy !req
308. Amen. You need to leave. Now.
Copy !req
309. Make me!
Copy !req
310. I'm gonna be the last one
standing in this rink,
Copy !req
311. and you're all gonna watch! Hah!
Copy !req
312. Run! By which I mean, roll!
Copy !req
313. Where are you going? Watch out now.
Copy !req
314. Oh, no, you gonna fall?
Copy !req
315. And stay down!
Copy !req
316. Whoa, too slow.
Copy !req
317. Try again.
Copy !req
318. Hey-oh! Over here.
Copy !req
319. Oh, no. You caught me.
Copy !req
320. Ha-ha!
Copy !req
321. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
322. I'm winning!
Copy !req
323. Devil! You're going down, Brian Glory.
Copy !req
324. Uh, Blue Streak, whoever you are.
Copy !req
325. If this is how it all ends,
I need to say something first.
Copy !req
326. They way I stole the show
in Philly, it was wrong.
Copy !req
327. I should've stopped for my partner.
Copy !req
328. And I should've stayed for mine.
Copy !req
329. I owed you a conversation.
Copy !req
330. I wish I had fought for our friendship.
Copy !req
331. I-I'm so sorry, Lafayette.
Copy !req
332. We lost so much time already.
Copy !req
333. I don't want to lose any more.
Copy !req
334. Me neither, my brother.
Copy !req
335. Whoa! Agh!
Copy !req
336. We have to help her.
Copy !req
337. Maybe we can distract him long
enough for her to land a punch.
Copy !req
338. Something to catch his eye.
Copy !req
339. The old routine?
Copy !req
340. The old routine.
Copy !req
341. Hey, Adria, how about an oldie but goodie
Copy !req
342. for me and my partner?
Copy !req
343. Ha! Devil, uh, what do you say
we take out the trash?
Copy !req
344. We owe you all a big apology.
Copy !req
345. We lost sight of the spirit of Roller Jam,
Copy !req
346. which is connecting and
celebrating our great community.
Copy !req
347. This wood is a sacred space,
Copy !req
348. and we disrespected it
by letting our ugliness inside.
Copy !req
349. We forgot to put down hate
and let 'em skate.
Copy !req
350. But if you'll give us another chance,
Copy !req
351. we promise to get this party
back on track.
Copy !req
352. What do you say?
Copy !req
353. - Well, it's about time!
- Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
354. - I'm ready!
- Let's get it!
Copy !req
355. Now who's ready for a roll call?
Copy !req
356. No, no, wait. Not yet. Lu's not here.
Copy !req
357. Someone call me? Sorry I'm late.
Copy !req
358. I was... building a regenerative
cryogenic cooling tower.
Copy !req
359. That's a real thing?
Copy !req
360. All right, everybody, it's that time.
Copy !req
361. R-R-R-Roll call!
Copy !req
362. First up, Chicago.
Copy !req
363. - You go, Vernell.
- That is my partner.
Copy !req
364. Louisville Slow Walk.
Copy !req
365. Memphis G-Slide.
Copy !req
366. Let's see that Open House, Detroit.
Copy !req
367. Come on, Cali Slide.
Copy !req
368. And finally, New York!
Copy !req
369. That's my brother out there.
Copy !req
370. I'm doing it! I am actually doing it!
Copy !req
371. I'm a skater! Whoa!
Copy !req
372. Best Roller Jam ever!
Copy !req
