Ladies and gentlemen,
our national anthem.
- Good evening and welcome -
the Tulsa Torpedoes and the Kansas City Ramblers.
Ten young ladies on the track
for the first jam of the evening.
And there they go!
And getting a whip out on the jam
is number 11, K.C. Carr, the Bomber herself.
And K.C. draws an opponent, number 42,
and that's...Sally Vega.
There are 10 girls on the track
for the first jam of the evening.
They get 60 seconds in which to score points,
and everybody who wears a helmet is a jammer.
The method of scoring is the jammer laps the pack.
And for each opponent they pass, they pick up one point.
Down goes Sally Vega!
Yay!
The fans are ready as K.C. Carr gets out on the jam.
She went back and took out her opposing jammer back there,
who was Sally Vega.
Sally goes back to block, sends her up the rail,
and K.C. keeps right on coming.
Moving up, the big number 28. Vega misses the cross block,
and K.C. scores one, two, three, four!
Jennifer Richards goes back to assist big number 28,
Big Bertha Bogliani!
But K.C. needs one more for the full five points
and that grand slam!
K.C. Carr, with only 18 seconds remaining,
gets out after number 41, that's Honey Sanchez.
Coming up now to Honey Sanchez, moving in there fast.
Big Bertha and K.C. Carr
haven't been getting along too much.
Look at that! Big Bertha pushes Carr to the rail!
Now it's Carr all alone.
About 11 seconds remaining.
She's coming up to Honey Sanchez again,
still trying to assist Big Bertha Bogliani.
She sidesteps, and now she's up to Big Bertha.
That's it. Out of the way. Knocks Big Bertha down.
And five points for K.C. Carr and the Kansas City Ramblers.
Boy, oh, boy, K.C. Carr and Big Bertha Bogliani.
There's unhappiness there.
They just haven't been getting along these days.
Here comes Big Bertha.
Pawing and shoving around,
but Carr wants nothing to do with this big gal.
She just moves away.
Moves away and just says, "I'll have no part of you!
Peace, mama, peace," she says.
Ah, shut up!
Big Bertha unhappy. The fans want no part of her.
We're coming up to interview time,
so stay right with us.
It's interview time with K.C. Carr and Buddy Taylor.
Is it true that somebody has started a rumor around here
that K.C. Carr is to be traded
just to start dissension on the Ramblers?
That's absolutely right, Len.
And somebody started a rumor to cause dissension
on the Kansas City Ramblers club.
And there's no truth in it, and I've told K.C. that,
and K.C. knows she'll not be traded.
How about it, K.C.? Right. Right.
Do you have any idea who started this rumor?
Oh, yeah, we know who it is.
It's a certain big, fat, ugly, stupid--
Wait, wait--
I don't even wanna say her name.
Yeah, but her initials are B.B.B.
What do you mean, B.B.B.?
Here she comes!
Oh!
Look out. Here it comes.
Wait a minute-- Wait!
I been listening to your lies, Buddy!
None of it's true. Not a word of it!
If I wasn't such a lady, I'd punch you in the nose!
Listen here, you big, fat bigmouth!
Ah-ah!
Hey, listen, Big Bertha.
You're a big, fat tub of lard,
and you can't skate any better than you look!
Okay, I challenge you to a match race,
right here, next Saturday.
Baby, you got it!
Let's make it interesting.
You name it.
Give me that microphone.
I say Kansas City isn't big enough for the both of us.
Loser has to leave Kansas City forever!
No, absolutely not! Absolutely not!
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
I'm not afraid to skate!
It's against the rules of the commission!
I can't let you do it.
Come here, ref. Let's take a look.
Well, there it is, rule 87B:
"A challenge made and accepted,
The match race must be held."
Well, there you've got it.
I won't let you do that!
You got the race.
Well, there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
This Saturday night, right here in this arena,
the Civic Arena, a match race,
five laps, anything goes.
Big Bertha and K.C. Carr. And this is it!
The loser must leave Kansas City forever!
When I get through with you,
pack your bags, because it's bye-bye.
Listen, you! When I get through with you,
they're gonna have to take you out in a basket!
Now, hold it! Hold on, here!
Come on! Settle down!
Would you wait a minute, Mom?
What I'm trying to say
is that the team tours through Fresno, right?
And I should be able to get, you know,
a couple of days there pretty soon.
Are the kids around?
Well, could you call 'em?
I want to say hello.
Mom...I can't get into that with you right now.
I'm in somebody's office.
There's somebody here.
Oh, God.
Yeah, I know.
Mom, I work six--!
Okay, okay.
Yeah, I understand.
I gotta go now.
I'll write to you, Mom. Bye-bye.
Oh, I'm sorry. That was a long-distance call.
I-I can get the charges.
Well, I'm sure they can afford it.
I'm from out of town.
I was watching your interview.
What are you gonna do
in case you lose that match race?
Every time you're traded, they say it's a good deal.
I, uh... I don't like moving around too much.
Well, maybe this time there will be a brighter side.
Yeah.
Good luck.
You never know. Thanks.
You skate beautifully.
Thanks.
Get your hot dogs here!
Hot dogs!
Get 'em while they're hot!
...the referees out there.
Come on!
They say she must leave.
Remember, this is five laps,
anything and everything goes!
Here comes K.C. Carr.
Yessiree!
She's coming out for her warm-up laps.
Remember, the loser of this match race
must leave Kansas City forever, and that's a long, long time.
Everybody remember, this is everything goes.
Everything. And I mean they can maul and paw
and do anything they like.
Ladies and gentlemen, the chips are down.
The moment is coming.
They move up to the starting line.
K.C. Carr and Big Bertha Bogliani!
When they get to the starting line,
the referees move up to inform them that this is five laps.
Anything, everything goes.
They'll call the laps as they go.
The whistle ready?
Are you ready? The ladies are ready.
And there they go!
K.C. breaks first, gets out the lethal weapon.
Starts mauling and hammering.
With a left to the body, holding the head. Reversing,
one lap down.
K.C. hanging in there
and shot up to the rail, hard. Coming on again.
This is for five laps.
Anything goes. And there goes K.C.,
with a kick where it does the most good.
Reverses, starts hammering right to the body!
And right to the head, hammering away at the big one.
They look like two big, mad buffaloes,
mauling and pawing each other.
Big Bertha turns and drops her and goes on.
K.C. looks up and says, "This has gotta be!"
She's gotta hurry, because everything is on this race.
She comes back to Big Bertha and wallops her!
Big Bertha's down. Look at that slam!
She nailed her!
That ought to do it! K.C.'s on her feet.
She's got to make this one. Two to go!
This one is the one that counts.
Because if K.C. doesn't get this one,
this is the end of everything.
Back again, hammering away at each other...
Again and again!
Hey!
Bertha skates away.
This must be the end of it. No, wait a minute!
Bertha's going back.
She goes back and picks up K.C. again.
Takes her right hand and throws her down again.
K.C.'s down again.
She's trying to stomp her.
Big Bertha just skates away! She's skating away!
This is the final lap, and K.C. is down.
Big Bertha skating-- Wait a minute! Big Bertha...
Tell these idiots exactly what I'm gonna do:
I'm gonna stomp her with my skates and mark up that face.
She won't be the prettiest girl in roller derby anymore!
Now you tell 'em!
Hey, wait a minute.
Here comes a fan from the audience down on the track.
He's trying to get at Bertha.
The officers have him. They'll get rid of him.
Get him out of there.
There she goes. Big Bertha going back,
says she's gonna stomp the pretty face of K.C. Carr.
She holds her, drives with the right hand to the body,
strikes her in the face, and K.C. is down.
Here comes the skate!
K.C. trips her, and Big Bertha is down.
K.C. puts the skates to her.
Into the side, and again, where it does the most good.
Stomps to the middle and skates away.
Going down to the finish.
K.C. Carr, that's the Bomber herself,
going down to the finish.
Wait a minute! Joanie Joyce reached out and tripped her.
And here comes Bertha again.
Steps to the back, knocks her down.
She crosses the finish line and wins it.
Wins the match race,
and K.C. Carr must leave Kansas City forever.
Oh, is she boiling mad!
Sick of the whole thing!
Well, congratulations, Burt.
You're getting quite a skater in that girl.
You know, in six months' time, Buddy,
you're gonna wish you traded me your right arm
rather than K.C. Carr.
We'll see you.
Hot peanuts. Peanuts here!
Go! Go!
There she goes. Ladies and gentlemen.
Just like the Bomber!
And she's breaking away.
Okay, and she's down the line!
Whoo!
Okay, go now.
There she is.
Get her, get her, get her.
Rita, please be careful!
Diane, please!
She's pretty good! She beat me.
All right, sit down here and catch your breath.
Hey, K.C., um, I need some new skates.
See, these are all worn.
Oh, you haven't had those skates for a month.
Yeah, sure.
She knows all she's gotta do is ask you.
They're pretty worn.
Concrete's rough on skates, eh?
Hey...how's my boy?
Well, thank God he hates skating.
Hey, K.C.--
Now, I told you not to call your mother K.C.
Hey, Mom,
when you fall down on the track
or bump yourself or something, does it hurt?
Yeah, sometimes.
But you don't care.
Well, it's part of the game.
See, stupid! I told you she didn't care.
Hey! Walt, honey,
come on in the house and help me fix supper.
Hey, Mom, white ones?
What?
White skates.
Oh, yeah, sure. White ones.
Walt?
Won't you even talk to me?
Look...
Walt, don't worry about Mom.
I won't get hurt. Honest.
I promise you.
Walt, please.
Please.
No!
If I had the money I spent on roller games,
I think I'd be rich!
But I wouldn't trade it for nothin'.
I just love it... and keep comin' back.
Get your programs!
Evening, fellas.
Evening, Mr. Henry. Evening, Mr. Henry.
Mr. Henry, how are you?
Hey, how are you?
Hi, Mr. Henry. Hey.
How you doing there, Mr. Henry?
Hello, Burt, how are you?
Hey, Dick.
Hi, Mr. Henry.
How are you?
Mr. Henry? Hank.
I wanted to talk to you, if I could.
Listen, Hank, another time.
Color. Color, that's the word.
Get going, get going. Come on.
When you gonna get me some new wheels?
Oh, say, I appreciate your coming in,
but I don't want you skating for a couple more days.
Bring me that towel!
All right. Which wise guy rigged these drawers?
Oh, Matt's just back-talking.
How are you, girls?
Sorry to bother you, girls, but I wanted to welcome
the latest addition to the Portland Loggers.
I'm Burt Henry. I own the Loggers.
Oh.
Now let me ask you--
did Vivien get you all straightened away, Diane?
Yes, sir. Thank you.
A bit of a problem.
The Renegades claim they had first option
on your contract.
I'll have it straightened out by Monday.
Until then, it might cause a little less trouble
if you skated with the Renegades, okay?
Uh, yes, sir.
Thanks.
Okay, now we have a decent house out there tonight.
Not a great one, but you know the way I play it.
If there's one roller game fan out there,
we give that one fan everything we've got.
We make it right for them. Okay?
Right on. Right. Yes, sir.
Where's Jackie?
Vivien?
Well, she hasn't come in yet, Mr. Henry. Uh, it's...
Where the hell is Jackie?!
Hey!
Hey, did the boss--?
Did the boss call you Diane?
Yeah.
I thought it was K.C.
Either way.
Kid doesn't waste any time.
- Whoo! - You said it!
Hi there. I'm Lovey Sanford.
Hi.
Listen, I'm really sorry about the contract.
I thought you were supposed to skate with us.
Yeah, so did I, till just now.
Um...hey, look, do you have a place to stay yet?
I just got here. I haven't even had time to look.
Well, I've got an idea.
Why don't you stay with me? The price is right.
Well, okay.
Then it's a deal? Yeah.
Well, great.
Thanks a lot.
I'll meet you after the game, I guess.
Alrighty.
Jackie, where the hell have you been?
Mr. Henry's been looking all over for you.
He must have looked everywhere but where I was.
K.C., come here a minute. Uh...
K.C. Carr, Jackie Burdette.
You two haven't met.
Hi, there.
Oooh!
They're lovers.
It's a dollar fine, Burdette.
All right, come on.
Peggy, get your hair combed...
or I'm gonna shave your head.
Come on. Move! Go!
Then stay off. I skated back in..
Ow!
It looks like number 7, Jackie Burdette,
the girls' captain of the Portland Loggers.
Also out with her, that's number 30, Judy Sowinski,
of the Renegades.
She's also the girls' captain of the Renegades.
And it's a one-on-one jam. The two captains out there.
Look at those elbows fly.
Burdette now coming up, up to Sowinski.
Whoa, look out!
Down goes Sowinski with that leg block.
Go, Jackie!
Here she comes now.
K.C. Carr back there to do the blocking.
K.C. Carr, the newcomer from Kansas City,
skating for the Renegades her very first time.
Jackie Burdette can't seem to get by her yet.
Miss K.C. Carr doing a real good job.
K.C... Look at her throw those elbows.
And Jackie Burdette doesn't know what's hit her.
Jackie Burdette laying back now,
she's looking for a chance.
Here she comes with that hammer block.
And look out! Down goes K.C., hard.
Burdette now coming up to a double defense.
Breaks right through it.
Now she's going on for some more.
She wants to pick them all up.
There's the whip from Polly Durell.
Time is running out. She's got four--
Maybe just about five to get the point by Sowinski.
Can she do it? Here she goes.
She gets by! I don't know if it was counted.
I don't know if she got those five points.
What do the referees say? They say five!
That was not five points! It was four!
It was five points! That's five!
We all know it. Time ran out. But the referee disagrees,
and the referee's decision is final.
Yep, five big points for the Loggers
scored by Jackie Burdette.
Girls' captain of the Logger team,
and the fans love her.
Well, that's the end of the girls' skating period of play.
And it's time for the men to take the track.
Lots of excitement tonight.
Things are looking up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
How would you like to get laid tonight, K.C.?
Who'd you have in mind?
I was thinking of me and you, baby.
...Logger yearbook out in the lobby right now. Only $1.
And it gives you all the facts and figures
about your favorite skaters.
Well, here's the change as the men take the track
for the second skating period.
And let's see who will be first to get out for this period.
Looks like the Renegades getting some men up there.
Yep, it looks like they're setting up two of them.
They've got two jammers out.
That's Leon Jackson and George Adams.
Loggers have one man out...
Feel so sorry.
Two-on-one jam.
Richard's gonna try off guard to get by,
but let's see what happens.
Coming up against that double block.
Can he get by?
Here he comes.
Let's see...
He's up. No!
Adams goes hard.
He's getting back up again.
Maybe he'll get a second try.
Okay, a 10-point scoring possibility for the Renegades
right now with Adams and Jackson.
Captain Randy Rogers trying to set up a defense.
He sends Bob Corbin, number 3, back to do the blocking.
Look at this Corbin work!
He's letting the coach, Ronnie Rains, number 37,
have it,
along with the two Renegade jammers.
They can't go anywhere.
Look at this Corbin work, will you?
And he sends Rains
right up to Ralphie Valladarez, number 3.
Valladarez now taking care of Rains.
Look out! Rains, over the rail.
Little Richard Brown scoots by the inside
for the Loggers and picks up 3.
Three big points for the Loggers.
Out of nowhere comes Little Richard Brown to tie the score.
Twenty, now, for the Loggers, Twenty for the Renegades.
Out on this jam it's Leon Jackson again,
and he's up against that big man, Horrible Hank,
Horrible Hog Hank Hopkins
And Horrible Hank's letting him have it.
This Jackson's got trouble on his hands
with Horrible Hank back there.
This Hank can be vicious.
And look at that! You talk about a vicious block.
He's coming back to give him some more too.
Leon Jackson taking it hard. Look at this man work!
The Horrible Hog is doing a job on him.
Coming back, he's got him up.
Kicks him everywhere.
Look out! Slugging him, beating.
What's this?
K.C. Carr, the newcomer from Kansas City, got a mop.
Looks like she's going after Horrible Hank.
Jackie Burdette looking on.
She's going after him, hitting him with that mop,
says, "Don't do that to my teammate."
Gives him the mop.
Now Hank's got the mop.
Uh-oh. Look out, K.C!
Hank's got that mop, and you are in trouble.
K.C. is on.
Look out! There's Jackie Burdette.
She comes in, knocks K.C. down.
and they mop up the floor with K.C. Carr.
She gets the mop.
Jackie and Horrible Hank get the applause.
Without me, she'll pull anything.
K.C.! K.C.! Just what in the hell
do you think you were doing with Hank out there?
Oh, that mop didn't hurt me none, Vivien.
I wanna tell you something right now, young lady.
There's not gonna be any showboating around here
unless I tell you so,
or you're gonna find that ass of yours
warming a bench a full season!
Mr. Henry wants to see you in his office now. Move!
Jackie, haul your ass in there too.
All right, everybody, get your jerseys off.
Laundry tonight.
Oh!
Just want you to know
there's no hard feelings, you dumpin' me out there.
Just something I suppose you had to do.
That's right.
No, increase in attendance is at 12 percent.
Figures are right here.
And concessions up proportionately.
Right.
No, I'd say more than that. More.
Anytime.
Anytime at all.
Good match tonight. Real good.
People loved it.
That business with Horrible Hank and the mop?
Just real good.
Jackie, that block you threw, excellent.
Thank you, Mr. Henry.
How did you come out of it? No bruises?
Just fine. Thank you, sir.
Good, good.
We just might continue something of this sort
when you're wearing the same uniforms.
Two pretty girls? Customers will love it.
I just wanted you to know that color of that sort
is appreciated by me as well as by the fans.
K.C., would you stay behind?
Thank you, Jackie.
Um...sit down again, K.C.
I've been watching you for months.
I've had a complete report on you, your background.
Does that surprise you?
Flattering, I guess.
Diane, what I'm gonna say, I don't want general knowledge.
But when I was scouting you, I was looking for someone.
Someone I can build into a key personality.
I know that sounds a little vague. Forgive me.
I won't know much more than that until after my next Chicago trip.
I just wanted you to know you weren't brought to Portland
to be just another figure on the payroll.
We'll talk again.
Okay.
Yes, sir.
Guess we're gonna be at each other's throats for a while.
I suppose.
On the track, I mean.
I think most of them
are gonna be going to the Kenton Club.
It's a beer joint. Wanna go there?
Mm...I don't know.
Or you could just get settled in at my place.
Yeah, your place sounds good.
Good. I'm really tired.
I'm folding.
Hey, I saw you skating tonight.
That's far out.
You guys are like a couple of bullets.
Hey, what about some autographs, huh?
Yeah. Okay.
Hey, we're just out for some fun.
I gotta tell you, you were really good.
Yeah, thanks.
How about you joining us, huh?
Well, we got plans for tonight.
Oh, that's a shame.
Here you go. Thanks.
You guys going anywhere? Uh, yeah, we're--
Why don't you just let me walk you?
Hey! What are you--?
What are you doing? Get in the car.
Ow!
Ooh!
Ugh!
Oh!
This it, now?
Yeah. Here we are, at last.
Yeah.
Well, here it is. What do you think?
Yeah, nice. Yeah?
Well, just take your coat off and make yourself at home.
I'll get some beers, okay?
Here we are.
Here you go. Thanks.
Cheers! Mmm!
Oh, no, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
We need a better toast than that.
Let's see, uh...
To K.C. Carr, the future queen of the Portland Loggers.
Okay.
Hm. It's a good thing Jackie's not here.
She'd never drink to that.
Yeah, she's really a little, uh...
What's her--? What's her problem?
Well, you figure to be the top skater, right?
Well, now wait a minute. I just got here.
You'll be the top skater.
Well, Jackie's been the top skater for the last six years.
Yeah.
I'm beginning to get the picture.
Getting out on this jam, it's K.C. Carr and Lovey Sanford!
K.C. Carr, number 11,
Lovey Sanford for the Loggers, number 3.
Look at that Lovey work on K.C., pulling at the hair.
It turned out to be a play. Down goes Lovey.
K.C. Carr now for the Renegades.
She's the only jammer,
and the only one that can pick up points.
Dropping back to block is number 7, Jackie Burdette,
girls' captain of the Portland Loggers.
K.C., coming up, runs into that big elbow of Jackie Burdette.
Jackie, working over her. Doing a job on K.C.
K.C.'s gonna try it one more time.
Jackie's ready...
and down she goes! K.C.'s picked up one so far.
And now, yes, it's Lovey Sanford again...
Oh! Oh! Oh! ...doing the defensive work.
Looks like she's got K.C. in that armlock.
Got her head, and she's working on the face.
Look at those bops.
She's little... Hit her!
...but she's scrappy.
K.C.'s still trying to get by.
Over the rail goes Lovey Sanford,
and it looks like K.C. Carr has two points.
She's going on, she wants to pick up the rest of them.
Coming up to the rest of the pack.
Looks like she's gonna get the whip from Sowinski.
She pulls it off! And she picks up five big Renegade points.
Five points for the Renegades by K.C. Carr.
The Renegades have two jammers out on this one.
Number 32, Georgie Adams, and number 33, Leon Jackson.
Look at Rains work in that pack.
Down goes Horrible Hank.
Loggers going everywhere.
Rains kicking everybody, slugging everybody.
He goes over to Dick Wicks and kicks him!
Look at this Rains go. He's going crazy. Whoa!
And Rogers, number 7, into the infield!
Look at this Rains. He is an absolute madman.
He says, "I'm innocent. I didn't do a thing."
Richard Brown gets a swat from Ronnie Rains.
All right. Now, knock it off.
I didn't do anything. I'm innocent.
Knock it off, right now.
You. Get off.
Go!
Better watch your-- Mind your own business. Back away!
I told you to get off the track!
Absolutely crazy. And here it goes now, out on this jam.
Out there with him is number 8,
Ralphie Valladarez, for the Loggers.
It's a one-on-one jam.
Anybody can pick up points on this one.
So far, nobody can--
Oh! Oh! Over the rail he goes!
Fell completely off the track.
Ralphie scoring some points, Ralphie Valladarez.
Rains! Hopping down on his own man.
And here comes Valladarez now. Down goes Rains.
Whoa! Valladarez is mad at Rains, and rightfully so.
This Rains is a total crazy maniac.
Look at him now on Valladarez. "How dare you pick up points?"
Knock it off!
Referee gets between that action, says, "Knock that off."
Get out of the game! Go home.
Hey!
Now look at him. He's got benches.
He's trying to stop Little Richard Brown, the jammer.
He's got chairs, tables, everything.
Now he's got the medical table.
Richard Brown coming up. Whoa!
He's over the medical table. He's still picking up points!
Nothing can stop Little Richard Brown.
The bucket goes. It knocks out one of the Renegades!
Richard Brown picking up points.
Look out! Here comes the toolbox.
Oh! And that misses Richard Brown,
and he scores another point.
Ronnie Rains is out of the game.
The referee says, "We've had it with you."
Now he's working over Little Richard Brown again.
Richard throws him into the penalty box,
and down he goes.
A punch in the groin for Mr. Rains.
Out! Out of the game.
That's the last-- No! The bucket on the head!
And Little Richard Brown lets him have a goodbye punch!

Hank? Hi.
This look comes over his face...
Hey, K.C.!
Come on over and have a seat.
Hi, roomie, how are you?
Here. Sit down.
How are you?
Honey, let me have another glass, will you?
Oh, what about Hank? He needs a drink, too.
They don't serve beer in troughs.
Hey, he heard you!
Oh, so what? Nothing penetrates.
Hey, Hog!
Why don't you tell us how your old man
used to call you in from that potato patch, huh?
Yeah, come on, Hank!
Come on, Hank. Just for us.
Oink! Oink!
- Come on! - Come on!
Come on, Hank.
- Come on, Hank. - Come on.
Sooey!
Hey, K.C.?
What's the matter? Don't you think that's funny?
No, I don't think that's funny.
But you think we're pretty funny, huh?
Now, what's that supposed to mean?
Come on, girls.
Let's take it easy, okay?
Oh, Christ.
Why don't you all shut up?
♪ I'm feelin' blue ♪
♪ Bye ♪
♪ I'm feelin' blue ♪
Right?
I mean, we're tops.
Why, hell, we're the best in the West, ain't that right?
Randy, I don't date skaters.
Huh! A skater?!
I ain't no skater.
I am a goddamn star!
Now, look, K.C.
Just give me a try, okay?
If it don't work out, there ain't no hard feelings.
Hey!
If you don't cut that out,
I'm gonna give you something where you can feel it.
Diane Carr here?
Oh, that's me.
Telephone. Just a minute.
Hello?
I'm busy, Mr. Henry.
Well, I just came down here to relax a little. Um...
I've got to get home and do some stuff.
Fine. Fine.
Well...
Getting back to more important business,
we got some things to talk about.
Huh?
Look, Randy, uh... I just don't date skaters.
I have to work with them every night.
So, uh...
why don't you just buzz off?
Okay?
Sure.
Hey, Randy, you score again?
You bunch of female jock-strappers.
Hey, I'm telling you what.
Don't be talking about me while I'm gone.
Oh, we wouldn't think of it.
Did you hear what happened to Randy?
Hmm? Nothing!
That's what happened to Randy!
Jackie?
Hey...
Jackie, are you okay?
She wants to know if I'm okay.
What did you say?
I said I'm okay when I'm okay, and, uh...
I'm okay when I'm not okay.
Okay?
Does that, uh, answer your unnecessary, uh...
question?
Hey...
where do you come from?
Where the hell did you come from?
Jackie, let's go for a walk.
Come on. Let's go for a walk.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey! Hey!
Come on, let--
Well, that's terrific.
Come on, Vinnie, let's, uh,
Let's get you cleaned up, okay?
Jackie Burdette out on this jam for the Loggers.
Looks like she's picking up a few points.
She gets an assist in the middle of the pack
from Yoko Suzaki.
Scores another point. Still trying to go on.
She wants those remaining points.
Jackie Burdette, she's got four, five.
She's got plenty of time.
Looks like she's gonna go for more.
The whip from Lovey Sanford, too hard!
Sends her off-balance and on to the rail. Down she goes.
That ends the jam.
Getting helped up from Vivien Cartwright,
their general manager.
And Jackie Burdette is a little upset
at Lovey Sanford.
Said, "What did you do that for?
What kind of a whip is that?"
Lovey says, "Well, it's not my fault.
I didn't mean to do it, you know!"
Jackie Burdette out on this jam,
coming through the rear of the pack.
And that's Judy Sowinski on the defense.
Burdette, climbing all over, but she can't get by.
Sowinski holding her back, but what's this?
Whoa!
Whipped into the rail, and down goes Sowinski.
Burdette's got one. She's going on.
- And here's K.C. Carr now. - Flip her over the rail!
K.C. Carr is doing the blocking.
Burdette can't go anywhere against Carr.
Come on!
Burdette's scooting by. She's by.
She's got to come up against Carr.
Whoa!
K.C. Carr misses that block.
It's another five big points
for Jackie Burdette and the Portland Loggers.
K.C. Carr disgusted with herself
after missing that block.
Fans going wild.
Oh, look at this action.
The 7-11 combination, Burdette and Carr.
A lot of heat between these two girls.
They don't like one another.
That's the end of the seventh skating period of play,
and the men take the track now for the final period.
This will be the last game here for a while.
I don't need any help out there, not from you!
I wasn't helping, I missed the block!
...the roller game of the week every Sunday night at 4 p.m.,
right here in Portland, Oregon.
Uh, K.C., Mr. Henry wants to see you in his office.
Can't I even shower first?
Hey, listen, I'll see you later, okay?
Here, Lovey.
You looked very good out there tonight.
Thanks.
Come in.
Whoo!
You'll be skating with the Loggers
starting tomorrow night.
Oh, great! Sit down.
That fighting on the track
is really messing up my social life.
I've heard about Jackie's trouble.
I had the impression you were giving her a little help there
this afternoon.
No, I-- I just missed a block, that's all--
That's quite all right. It's all right.
I like that kind of loyalty from my skaters.
Yeah, I know you do.
So how are you?
Fine.
You ready?
For what?
Tonight.
Sunday night. Have a dinner date.
I'm picking you up for dinner at 8:00.
Okay.
Where are you living?
Oh, I live with Lovey Sanford.
She has a houseboat.
Oh, uh, yeah, that's right.
Do you mind if I pick you up at the top of the gangway, 8:00?
It'll save time. Yeah, sure.
This is really a nice place.
You know what I really like about you?
It's the way you enjoy everything.
Your steak, for example.
Oh.
When I was a kid,
I always felt guilty unless I cleaned my plate.
So I guess...
Who was that, your father?
Always my mom.
As far as I'm concerned, you can't do any wrong.
I don't see how your husband ever, well...
How'd he let you get away?
You're not still involved with him, are you?
No, that was a long time ago.
Don't see him anymore?
He's married again.
We don't see him anymore.
"We"?
Yeah, my kids and I.
Hey, you didn't finish your steak.
Um...
Well, if you don't mind, I mean, if after I'm finished...
Just so it won't go to waste.
Well, of course. Anything you desire.
Wow!
This is fantastic!
I hope you don't think I intended for this to happen.
Didn't you?
Yes.
Hi!
Uh... Hello, Lovey.
Um, I-- I guess I'll see you all later.
Uh...bye.
Why are you living with her?
I just haven't had time to find my own place.
She's not such a bad kid.
You should have a place of your own.
Hello?
Oh, yeah, hi, Viv.
What?
You gotta be--
He can't--
Uh, yeah.
Lovey?
Lovey, what's the matter?
I've been traded.
I've been traded to Denver,
and I gotta be there day after tomorrow,
ready to skate.
What?
Burt Henry traded me!
Oh. Well, just a minute. I'll talk to him.
Well, maybe you already talked to him!
Lovey?
Oh...
Hello?
Uh, K.C. for Burt Henry.
What?
Where?
No. No, that's okay.
Never mind.
Want some licorice?
No, thanks.
You know, I'm sure sorry about Lovey getting traded.
She was a good friend.
She always talked to me.
Sure hope I never do get traded.
Get traded, you have to start over making friends.
That's a hard thing to do.
Well, you got more friends than you think you do, Hank.
Oh, no, I can always tell who my friends are.
Now, Mr. Henry is my friend.
He told me that I gotta...
Well, what he told me
was that I gotta have more color, you know?
I mean, like, when people holler "pig" and "sooey" at me,
well, then I gotta do something to make everybody mad.
I don't want to make 'em too mad, though.
No, I-- I wouldn't do a thing like that, Hank.
Hey, you remember when you chased me with that mop,
and I took it away from you?
Yeah.
That was fun.
K.C.?
Uh, would you like to go to the movie with me
after the game tonight?
Well, I don't know. We'll see.
And the second half begins with the girls going underway.
Heading out for the Loggers,
it's number 7, Jack Burdette, the captain,
and number 11, K.C. Carr.
A two-on-one jam situation. A Texas Roadrunner down.
Now it's K.C. Carr and Jack Burdette, 11 and 7,
for the Portland Loggers.
A 10-point scoring potential, but wait a minute.
They're both going at each other.
Burdette's got Carr by the head.
I've never seen anything like this before in Fresno.
Now Burdette working on Carr!
Carr and Burdette going back and forth.
Neither one able to gain any advantage!
They're still going at each other.
Now Carr's got Burdette by the head.
Again they go. Burdette's got Carr by the head,
and a leg block sends Carr down!
Jackie Burdette and K.C. Carr!
Ooh, they're going at it with each other again.
Jackie Burdette,
the only jammer that can score points now.
K.C. Carr trying to assist her.
Jackie Burdette-- Jack Burdette knocks down K.C.
What are these two girls up to?
Jackie Burdette now trying to score it alone.
She's got one point, two, three...
All right!
...four, five for a full grand slam.
Well, it's halftime.
Don't forget, all you Bakersfield fans,
three weeks from tonight,
the Portland Loggers will be right back here,
skating against the Denver Buckaroos.
All your favorite stars will be here: Jackie Burdette,
Horrible Hank Hopkins and K.C. Carr.
Tickets are on sale right now out at the ticket office.
Also, don't forget to pick up your copy
of the Roller Game Roundup, with lucky numbers.
We'll be calling four lucky numbers.
If you hold one of those lucky-number gazettes,
you'll win two free tickets to the next game right here in...
There's Horrible Hank! He picked up five points,
but the crowd doesn't like that.
Listen to that "sooey." He doesn't like that at all.
He puts his hands over his ears,
but the crowd keeps yelling "sooey."
Boy, he hates that.
Horrible Hank!
He throws his helmet down.
Sooey!
He doesn't like that at all.
Listen to that "sooey."
And the Portland Loggers picking up five more points,
making the score 75 for the Loggers,
63 for the Roadrunners.
Fresno seems to be a lucky town for these Loggers!
Now out on the jam is K.C. Carr,
and number 7, Jackie Burdette.
Carr and Burdette, on the jam again.
Now, Burdette--
Striking out an elbow sends Burdette over the rail.
K.C. Carr is now the only jammer!
She's at the back of the pack! She's trying to get by.
She goes under the leg!
She's coming up to the back of the pack!
She goes on the bottom! Four points!
She's trying to make it a full five for a grand slam.
She gets a whip, up to Gomez, now with 15 seconds remaining!
She's trying to get by Gomez. She's up to Gomez!
She sidesteps Gomez and goes through!
K.C. Carr picking up five more points.
K.C. looks tired. Uh-oh, look out.
Here comes Burdette!
Burdette mad at Carr, who sent her over the rail.
Here comes Cartwright, Vivien Cartwright, doing...
All right, cut it out.
You're on that bench!
Get on that bench! I don't know what you're doing either.
Now, get over there. Hurry up.
...she doesn't know what's going on.
Vivien can't do a thing with these girls anymore.
I mean, is he always that way?
Yes, he is always that way.
You never told me about it.
What? I've been telling you.
I've been writing and calling.
You could have said something.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You never listen to anything I say.
They want their mother back.
You can understand that, can't you?
Yeah.
I realize that, Mom.
Duties of a mother come first.
I don't expect to be a skater all my life.
They need you here!
Don't you think I know that?
Don't you think I want to be with them?
Well...
Well, you can.
I ran into Mr. Mallory the other day,
and you know what he said to me?
He said, "She can have her job back at the store
any time she wants it."
Well, that's just great, Mom.
A cuspidor in every room.
For Christ's sake-- What do you expect--?
Don't use that kind of language in this house.
How many ways do you keep having to say it?
You never used to talk like that.
It's easy to see where you picked it up.
Mom, I was dying here.
Oh... We all were. You know that.
Okay, so how much better you doing, huh,
traipsing all over the country?
It won't be forever.
Well, why don't you come back here?
Come on back.
Mr. Mallory wants to marry you.
You know, there's a dozen girls in this town
that'd jump at the chance to get him.
Oh, you're choosy?
Yeah, goddamn right, I'm choosy!
Well, you're in no position to be!
Mom, the dreams are over. You gotta pay your way.
Don't you understand-- No, I don't.
I think it's all a bunch of riddles.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You just don't listen, Mom. It's not riddles.
I just want a little piece of the action
so that I don't have to apologize
every time I turn around. That's all.
Uh-huh.
Come on. Come on!
I just think you ought to take a good look
at what's right under your nose,
at what's really important.
See?
Mama...
I love you and the kids.
Yeah.
Hmm!
Well, I don't know what that's got to do
with the price of tea.
You ought to have your head examined!
Thanks.
Uh...
could you wait a minute right here for me?
I just have to pick something up.
Diane!
Where did you come from?
Just flew in.
Come on. I wanna talk to you.
How come you're in Fresno?
I didn't think I'd see you.
I've been a hard man to find lately.
You didn't call or write or anything.
Well, there's an explanation.
Where have you been?
I've been waiting for you half the afternoon.
I went to see my kids. Uh-huh. How are they?
Oh...fine. Everybody's fine.
Do you realize how great you look today?
Burt, I...
I wanted to talk to you about something.
Uh-huh. What?
Um...it's about Lovey.
Why did you trade Lovey? Lovey?
Oh, oh, that was, uh-- That was business.
Strictly business.
She was needed in Denver. She's doing very well there.
And that's all it was? Just business?
Okay.
Maybe I was jealous of having to share you with anyone.
Is that so terrible?
No.
It's just the way you did it.
You know, so sudden. No warning, nothing.
Well, you know, that's part of a skater's life.
Those things happen.
Anyway, that's all in the past.
I want to tell you about something really great.
You know the project I've been working on for months?
Mm-hm? I mentioned it to you.
The thing that's been taking me out of town so often?
Well...
I'm leaving Portland.
You're leaving?
Yeah. Going to Chicago.
I've set up the biggest franchise skating has ever seen.
I've closed a network television deal.
Oh!
It is going to be fantastic. Fantastic!
Yes!
Fantastic for both of us.
Both of us?
Mm-hmm.
I'm taking you with me, Diane.
Well...I can't.
I mean, my kids are here.
You are going to be the biggest star
on the biggest team in skating.
I'm gonna make that happen.
I made up my mind I was gonna make this happen
the first time I ever saw you.
Burt, if I don't start spending more time with my kids,
they're gonna forget they've got a mother.
Look, look. We'll bring them along.
That's a promise.
Oh, I'm so lonely.
Oh, me too.
Me too.
We won't be lonely any longer.
What's happening?
Oh, nothing much.
Look a little tired.
Oh, it ain't that.
It's just that...
I keep getting hit harder, it seems.
But I'm not tired.
Why don't you ask Mr. Henry to give you a rest?
No, K.C., I can't do that.
He might think that I couldn't take it no more.
I couldn't do that.
Here, you need to get some sleep.
Ooh.
There you go.
Hey, if you want, I'll rub your neck.
Hey! Vivien! What?
How long?
However the hell long it takes, that's how long.
Jesus Christ Almighty.
Hand him the wrench.
Hey!
Jackie?
Something the matter?
Not with me.
Hey!
Want some?
No, thanks.
A-are the two of you coming with us?!
Hey, the bus is fixed. Vivien was saying that--
The hell with the fixed bus. The hell with the broken bus.
The hell with everybody on it. And screw you.
Hey!
Wait a minute, Vivien!
Get your asses on this bus!
Jackie, please.
Come on, we gotta go back to the bus.
Now come with me. Shut up!
Both of you got five seconds to get on the bus.
Stop following me, will you? Just leave me alone.
You make me very nervous.
I don't know when I'm gonna turn around
and find myself not there.
All right, what is it, then?
All right, I'm not gonna pussyfoot around.
I'm talking about you pussyfooting, if you follow me.
That's very talented, K.C.,
especially when you lace your skates off
and go pussyfooting where it really pays off.
That's some talent!
And you have a way of making people disappear,
like Lovey.
And who else have you got in mind?
What's the matter?
Don't you wanna talk about your talent?
Yeah, I'll talk about it... when you're sober.
I am sober.
Six years...
For six years I was... I was something.
Well, we've got two Renegade jammers out there.
There's Judy Sowinski and Tonette Kadramas.
Along out with them for the Portland Loggers,
there she is, K.C. Carr, number 11.
Two-on-one jam now.
About anybody can pick up points,
and they're fighting for position around that track.
Look at those elbows fly!
K.C. Carr working in and out, in and out,
trying to get around them!
Coming up to the back of the pack now.
Who will be the one that picks up points?
Boy, they're working over K.C. now.
It's a sit-down in the pack, and the jammers are all down.
They're getting back up, trying to scramble over.
All three of them now over.
Again, fighting for position, and they take out K.C. Carr.
Down she goes.
Two Renegade girls waiting for her, though.
Oh, she runs into a brick wall.
K.C. getting up,
the Renegades are there to take care of her.
Sowinski and Kadramas are working her over but good.
Look at this.
Look at this! Horrible Hank coming out now.
He doesn't like that. He takes care...
Okay, now, come on! Get back!
...of those two Renegade girls.
The Renegade men are up in arms.
They say, "That's not fair!"
Hank now giving an assist to K.C.,
saying, "Don't worry about it, honey.
You just picked up three points for our team."
There she is, the real winner, K.C. Carr.
And there's Horrible Hank Hopkins,
and look at that.
Five, four, three, two, one.
And the period ends, with the score
99 for the Renegades, 86 for the Loggers.
The men take the track for the eighth and final
skating period of play tonight.
Look at this.
Horrible Hank demanding that jamming helmet.
He wants to go out and do some jamming himself,
show the Renegades how it's done.
Well, he's got it now, and let's see what happens.
The big man out on the jam.
Getting out now,
he's got two Renegade jammers to contend with.
They're setting up a double block against him.
Hank coming up, he breaks right through
with those powerful arms.
Sends the Renegades sprawling, and now it's Hank all alone.
He's the only one that can pick up points.
He's for the Loggers, number 10, the Horrible Hog.
And look at the Renegades!
They've got their whole men's team back there
to do the defensive work on Hank.
He comes! He crashes into them!
He doesn't go anywhere.
The Renegades holding him back.
Dick Wicks goes by, calls it off.
He gets three points.
The Referee's in to try and break up this mess.
Hank getting beaten up by the Renegades.
Whoa! Look at this. A cruel revenge
for that action committed last period with the girls.
The fans don't like Hank, either.
They're using him for target practice.
They're throwing everything that isn't glued down at him.
Sooey! Sooey!
Hank couldn't wait to get off that last play, three points.
And look at him, he's furious.
Don't laugh at me!
Stop throwing at me!
Sooey!
Sons of bitches.
Sooey! Sooey! Sooey!
It's time to get out of there.
That's no place for him.
And there's K.C. Carr on the infield with a towel.
and a little sympathy for Horrible Hank Hopkins.
Get him!
Wiping his face now.
You okay? Come on.
Look out!
Whoa! He gets K.C. Carr right in the face!
K.C. doesn't go for that.
He goes after Frank Martinez.
Martinez shoves her over the table.
And here comes Hank Hopkins. Hank is after Frank Martinez.
Look out, Frank.
If he catches you, you're a dead man.
He's after Frank. Now he's choking him on that rail.
Here comes George Adams-- Over into the crowd!
Oh, Georgie is hurt. Look out.
Hank got hold of Frank Martinez
and throws him into the penalty box,
splintering it into pieces.
Hank isn't gonna give up.
He drags Martinez to his feet again. He's got Frank...
We gotta do something! Sit on the bench!
He's slugging him! Look at that, vicious blows.
He just won't let up.
Nobody will get in his way, not even the referees.
Look at him. He's got him up again.
Boom, he hits him again. Just hitting Martinez.
I've never seen anything like this.
He's merciless.
Look at him.
He's getting him up again.
Look at those powerful arms. Dragging him up again.
Beating him senseless.
Oh, now this has gone just a little too far.
Come on now, Hank. He's getting up.
Frank is down, and it looks like he's down for good.
And he's bringing him up one more time.
Right through that rail and down he goes.
And he is hurt.
He is hurt bad.
Here comes the Renegade team now!
They're on top of him. They're whipping him on the floor.
Hank taking a terrible beating by the Renegades.
Finally, Hank's teammates come to his rescue,
Trying to drag those Renegades off from on top of him.
Whoa! Hank took it that time.
Well, Hank did go just a bit overboard,
and I can't blame those Renegades.
Hank?
The Renegades had something to fight for.
It was merciless, what he did to Frank Martinez,
and when he put George Adams over the rail,
he hurt him quite seriously also.
I guess they got their money's worth tonight. Unh!
Didn't they, K.C.?
When K.C. gets through, she can skate by herself,
'cause there won't be anybody left on this team.
Hey, K.C.?
Yeah?
Hank wants your autograph.
Go to hell.
Forget her. It's not worth it.
Don't bother with her.
She don't bother with us... Listen, goddamn it!
...don't bother with her.
I had nothing to do with that, and you all know it!
Who you trying to kid, K.C.?
What's going on in the track? What's going on here?
Have anything to do with what goes on on the track?
Yeah, right!
Something's going on here, and I don't know what it's about.
Go ask Burt. I just work here.
I'm sick and tired of this runaround
from you and everybody else.
If you've got some problem,
then let's have it out right now.
All right,
we'll have it out right now!
You've never been a part of this team, K.C.
You've never even really tried, and I could care less.
Except ever since you've gotten here,
this team has gone to hell.
And that's my fault?
Oh, baby, nothing else has changed.
Hmm. Then screw you, sister!
I wouldn't give you the pleasure.
It's not like that, Vivien.
Well, then you tell that to Lovey.
Hmm?
For chrissake!
People get traded all the time.
Explain that to Hank.
Hank?
What about Hank?
Burt just fired Hank.
Oh, wow. K.C., you did it again.
Sure did.
Miss hot dog. Hm.
Goodbye. Good riddance.
No argument from me, Frank.
I...
I personally--
I need to talk to you, Burt.
Shh! Sorry, Frank.
I personally guarantee you, you'll have a full roster--
Burt, I have to talk to you now!
You'll have a full roster on the 15th,
everyone to your liking.
Right.
Yeah, all seasoned.
Yeah, you bet.
Thank you, Frank. I appreciate that.
Right. I'll see you then.
Burt, you just can't do this to him! Close that door.
What the hell is the matter with that boob?
Look, I'm...
I'm one inch away from signing a contract with that man,
and he heard what happened tonight.
One inch away! My God!
He wants to know how many more idiots there are on
this franchise I'm selling him.
It's a damn good question.
Well, for chrissake, it's not Hank's fault.
He was just trying to help me. He'll have to help...
Trying to please you. ...somebody else after tonight.
What's he gonna do now, now that you've fired him?
I didn't fire him. I made him a free agent.
But why?
For months now, you've been telling him, "More color."
I didn't tell him to commit mayhem!
There are three Renegades on the injured list out there!
I'll be damn lucky if somebody doesn't sue me.
All right, all right.
But you can't just throw Hank
on the dump heap after you've used him!
What the hell are you talking about?
We're all used. You, me, anybody on two legs.
That's what it's all about.
That's your American pie for you.
You ought to know that by now.
Sooey!
You haven't heard a word I said.
Sooey!
What the hell is he doing?
Sooey!
Sooey! Sooey!
Sooey!
Color, Mr. Henry!
Sooey!
You want color, Mr. Henry?!
That's what you said, "Give color!
Make 'em mad! Give color!"
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Color, Mr. Henry!
Color!
You said, "Give them color," Mr. Henry.
All right. Give them color!
Oh! Burt!
Keep back! Boys, give me a hand.
Go on, get him off the track. I gave 'em color, Mr. Henry.
All right...
What the hell's the matter with you?!
Please don't take me out.
Please don't take me out! Burt, please!
Please, don't--
Burt, please! Stop it!
Would you let me handle this?! Security!
Mr. Henry, please.
Security!
What the hell is the matter with you?
Don't let 'em take me out.
Don't fire me, Mr. Henry!
Mr. Henry, please! Security!
All I ever done was what you asked me to do, Mr. Henry.
Please. I ain't no pig!
Please. Oh, please.
I never wanted to be no different than all the others.
I ain't no pig! I ain't no pig.
K.C.!
K.C.! It's true what they said about you and him, ain't it?
I never wanted to believe it, but it's true!
Ain't it?!
I don't love you no more!
Get him out of here. Fast!
It's true. I don't love you no more!
I don't love you!
Get him out of here!
So, what do you want now?
You want me to give him a raise?
Diane?
Where the hell have you been?
Walking.
He'll find a whole month's pay
in his envelope tomorrow.
A big guy like that,
he'll have no trouble getting a muscle job of some sort.
K.C.?
Diane.
I have to take off.
I won't get back before Saturday.
I want you to know about my Saturday plans.
We're finishing off here Saturday,
and I wanna do it big. I wanna do it right.
I'm planning a match race between you and Jackie.
They'll announce it at halftime.
Make it spontaneous.
Okay?
Now, when Jackie crosses the finish line,
I'm gonna have the announcer state that the loser...
Because of courage shown and all that,
the loser, you, is gonna become captain
of the new Chicago franchise.
Hmm?
Yeah, fine.
Jackie gets what she wants.
You get what you want.
The fans get a battle.
Does Jackie know who's supposed to win this race?
I told her that there was only room for one of you
on the Portland team, and I didn't care which one.
So she'll be out there hammering away.
You're pro enough to take that.
You can hit the infield anytime you want.
You all right?
Yeah, fine.
Been walking all night?
Yeah, just about.
Something bothering you besides Hank?
You.
And me.
Aw, no, you're upset.
You're just upset. That's all.
So am I. Both of us are.
It was a lousy night.
Both of us just need a little rest.
Okay?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, one more thing before I forget,
about the Chicago trip.
You don't bring the kids along
for a couple of weeks or a month.
The publicity campaign we've got planned for you,
two kids just don't fit in.
It's only temporary, until it doesn't matter.
Okay?
Yeah, sure.
You're a terrific kid.
I love you.
Or...closest thing I'll ever come to it.
How do you feel about it, hmm?
The same.
Closest thing I'll ever come to it, I guess.
See you Saturday?
Right.
Heading out on the jam,
it's Ralphie Valladarez, number 8, for the Loggers,
and there's George Adams for the Renegades.
Whoops! Down goes George Adams.
And that leaves Ralphie Valladarez
all by himself out there.
We've got quite an argument
between Jackie Burdette and K.C. Carr.
Vivien Cartwright trying to get in the middle of that one.
Knock it off! I mean it.
They want to pick up some points.
Here comes Richard, straight through.
Coming through now, Ralphie.
He's got 4. He's going up the back end.
He can't catch up to him, yet he wants that fifth point!
Here he comes. He's up abreast of him.
He knocks him up to the rail
and--
Bastard yourself!
I better get down there and see what's happened.
And I mean it!
Get off the track, you're gonna hurt someone. Cut it out!
You're both on the same team!
This is a washed-up old bitch who can't even skate anymore.
She trips over her own feet.
I'm sick and tired of you being a glory hustler.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And if K.C. Carr thinks she's so darn cute,
I wonder how cute she'd be in a match race.
Listen to her! A match race? You must be joking.
A match race means nothing! I could beat you hands down.
But if that's what you want, you can have it.
Yeah, that's right. Cut it out!
We'll just have a match race right here, man,
and we're gonna find out who's gonna leave Portland forever!
Anytime, anyplace.
I can tell you right now,
K.C. Carr better start packing all her bras.
Oh, come on!
Honey, at least I got bras and not A cups.
Your boyfriend complaining? Come on. You're both--
No holds barred.
Boy, you're a bigmouth! How about right now?!
Sure. Come on.
K.C., cut it out!
One more time. Let's see you do it again.
Sure, baby! Cut it out!
All right. What do you want? You wanna fight?
Yeah! All right!
I've been telling you that.
Okay!
Well, there we have it.
You've seen the feud between these two girls
developing these past few weeks,
ever since K.C. Carr was traded to the Logger team.
And now it's erupted into this:
A five-lap anything-goes match race
next Saturday night, right here.
And the loser must leave Portland forever!
And forever is a long, long time.
Who will it be?
Will it be Jackie Burdette leaving,
or will it be K.C. Carr?
Come on!
I know I'm not gonna miss it!
Okay, that's three, four, five.
Twenty-five.
Yes, ma'am.
...out on this jam,
it looks like he's picking up some points.
Look at him back there. He's gone wild.
He's got one, two...
Man from Japan really did it! Look at the fans go crazy.
They love this little...
Quite a game tonight, as the score goes back...
Look out over there. He's coming at him.
Whoa!
We've got a pileup there.
He's trying to get over on top.
Good luck to him.
As we near halftime now, the Renegades...
They're really going wild out there tonight.
Look at them! Oh, boy! Look at him score those points.
He's going in and out,
all around through, up and down.
Look at him score.
He's got four, he's got the whole fistful.
Five big points for the Loggers.
Man, let's skate this thing for real.
Just straight out, you and me.
Why not?
Result's gonna be the same anyway.
I wouldn't be too sure.
That's a hell of a team you've built.
It's all yours now.
And here they are, ladies and gentlemen.
First, that's number 11, K.C. Carr.
Right behind her, her opponent in this match race,
number 7, Jackie Burdette.
This is it, the match race we've all been waiting for.
Five laps, anything goes.
And the loser must leave Portland forever.
This is the big one.
There's excitement growing in this crowd.
And look at these two girls.
They're taking their warm-up lap,
coming now to that starting line,
the referee lining them up.
There it is, the whistle,
and we've got the match race going! Starts out...
So far, neither girl able to get that advantage.
Four to go! Four to go!
Four laps now to go.
Four laps to go in this match race. One down.
Both of these girls trying hard.
Three to go! Three to go!
Three laps to go now.
Here comes Jackie on top of K.C.
Goddamn! She goes down hard.
Both are back up again. A couple of pros out here,
and nothing's gonna stop them.
Whoa, look out! K.C.!
Look out, K.C.
She gets a whip. Down she goes!
Here comes Jackie. Kicks K.C.
It's looking pretty rough out there.
Here comes K.C. back for some more.
She's after Jackie. Over the back rail she goes!
She's going after Jackie.
She's gonna go after Jackie now...
And Jackie now is in trouble.
Jackie's the one getting the beating now.
K.C. now trying to get up, going on.
She wants to win this one. Whoa! Look at that to the eye.
Jackie, now getting back up.
Looks like she's gonna take the advantage now.
Here comes K.C into the ring.
And now they're both up again.
Both down again now. Both down again now.
Slugs her hard, down she goes...
There's two laps to go in this race. Two laps!
Here they come now. Jackie's coming on,
she's got ahold of K.C. by the hair
and slams her head into that rail.
And K.C. looks like she's in trouble.
K.C. in trouble now, as Jackie Burdette,
captain of this Logger team for six years,
is working her over.
Pushes to the side of K.C., and Jackie's going...
Here comes K.C.
One to go, this is it!
There's one lap left. This is the final lap.
What's this? A whip into the rail for K.C.!
And Jackie looks like she might be going on to win it.
K.C.'s getting even scrappier, though.
She's gonna stop Jackie! Jackie's over the rail!
K.C.'s going back to pick up that half lap.
She stopped Jackie just in time before she made it,
and she may win it now.
Look at these girls go. This is just...
Here comes K.C.! Looks like she's gonna...
K.C. Carr is the first one!
K.C.! K.C.! K.C.! K.C.! K.C.!
K.C.! K.C.! K.C.! K.C.!
K.C.! K.C.! K.C.! K.C.! K.C.!
K.C.! K.C.! K.C.! K.C.!
K.C.! K.C.! K.C.! K.C.! K.C.!
