Voila! Finally, the Roll Bounce
script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the disco roller skating
movie with Bow Wow, Nick Cannon, and Meagan Good.. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Roll Bounce. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally
tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. You won't
hurt my feelings. Honest.

Diana Ross, Tina Turner
But she couldn't sing though
- No?

See, me and Dad didn't have
the heart to tell her
so we would just
sit back on the couch
and she'd just let it rip
Yeah, Mom was so pretty
Dad would always tell me
"Son, God must really like us"
Back then you couldn't
keep Dad from smiling
But when he looks at you
he gets that same grin on his face
just like when he used to look at Mom
Mom was like an angel
A black angel?
Yeah, I guess so

[Clears Throat]
Okay Um, Xavier, go on in the house
I can explain this to you

Fakin' us out every morning like you're
goin' to work, when really you weren't?
- You're just a fake
- Son, listen to me
You think you know, okay?
But you don't know, all right?
- You don't know anything
- I know Mom wouldn't have lied;
I know that much
You know, you're right You're
absolutely right You got me, son
Your mother wouldn't have lied to you,
okay? But I'm not your mother, okay?
You want me to tell the truth? Here's
the truth Hear it, understand it, son
Your mother, my wife?
She's gone
Gone, son
She's never gonna come back
- And the sooner you let her go
and understand that-
- Let her go?
You want me to let my mother go?
Why would I do that?
You haven't, have you?
Yeah You moved around some furniture
and threw up some wallpaper,
but you still haven't let her go
- That's why her piece-of-shit car
is still out in the garage
- Hey Hey!
- Watch your mouth!
- Old piece of junk! I hate that car!
You hang out with that car more
than you hang out with your own son
And then you think by puttin' in a new
engine, you can bring back the dead?
All right That's it
Shut your mouth
get your skates, go in the house
and go to your room
Maybe if you banged on the hood
hard enough, maybe she'll come back
- Xavier
- Hmm? Is that what you really want?
You want her to come back
to take care of us so you don't have to?
I'm gonna ask you one more time
- Go in the house, son
- No
I wanna see
if she'll come back, Dad
Xavier
Boy, don't you walk away from me
when I'm talk-Xavier!
Don't you walk away from me
when I'm talkin' to you!
Xavier!Xavier!
- Put it down
- No! You want Mom back, right?
Well, let's see

- Put it down!
- Is that what you want?
Mom's not comin' back, Dad!
- She's not comin' back!
- Xavier!
- Do you see her? She's dead, okay?
- I'm talkin' to you, boy!
You think you a man today?
If I have to put my hands on you
I swear to God you gonna find out
which one of us is a man today!
All right? My mom's not comin' back,

Hey, I know they'll never replace
the ones your mother got you
but, um, they're here if you need 'em
- Why'd you do this?
- I don't know.
Guilt?
Not gettin' 'em for you sooner
For not being much of a father
to you since your mother passed
Listen up
When your mom died
I thought I could just, you know,
handle everything on my own
you know, show you kids
how strong I was
I thought that's
what you needed, you know
I don't know I just wanted us
to act like nothing ever happened
But, um, it did happen
and it hurts
[Sighs] But, you know,
what hurt the most is
I forgot that you
and your sister were hurtin' too
You're not grown-ups;
you're just children
I know she was more
than your mother
She was your best friend
and I forgot that
And I'm really ashamed of myself
But, look, there's some things
we gotta put behind us
You know, you've been angry at me
I've been angry at you
You know And your mother
would be so disappointed
I just think she would expect
better from both of us
Whoo So, look
I hope you can forgive your old dad
for being an idiot and-
I just want you
to know, son, I see you
