Sorry! Oh, come on, come on.

[growls]
Hmm?
[buzzer sounds]
[growls]
Yeah, yeah, I know
but you wouldn'ta come
if I told you it was bath time!
[groans]
Devil!
[strains] Help. Come here.
- [growling]
- Listen to Mama!
[grunts]
You're not gonna win!
I hope you know that.
[grunts]
Four quarters, please!
Is-- is that thing safe?
This thing? Oh, yeah!
I made it myself.
- No, him.
-"Him"?
[Devil whimpers]
Pfft! No.
- [grunts]
- [growling]
[Moon Girl] Uh, hello?
I can see you
[whimpers]
You're the one who went
swimming in the East River.
Ugh. Prob'ly covered in
cadmium, dioxin, fish boogers
- [growls]
- Two words: NA-STY.
Yo, you weren't gonna
eat this were ya?
I guess not.
[inhales, grunts]
- [sniffs, snarls]
- [Moon Girl grunts]
- [hissing]
- [buzzer sounds]
[squealing]
No!
[grunting]
There. Was that so bad?
- [growls]
- Ugh!
Four more quarters, please.
[hip hop plays]
[upbeat music]
So look,
the grown-ups are hitting
Roller Jam in Jersey tonight.
But don't you worry.
Saul from the Hasty Mart's
gonna watch the rink
and keep you safe,
you beautiful, precious little--
Mom, they'll be fine.
Wait till they get a' load of
your old Pops at Roller Jam!
Smooth move, Dad. Let me try.
Whoa-whoa
I got it-- Whoa.
Whoa, don't got it--
Ah!
- [music ends]
- All right I'm down here now.
[sniffs]
Mimi! Mimi! Mimi!
Is it done yet?
'Bout twenty minutes.
Ugh! But that's like a year!
I wanna eat some nowww!
My special kettle corn recipe
takes time, child!
If I juice up the microwave,
we can pump out popcorn
in two seconds
instead of twenty minutes!
Ah, all right.
I'll hook it up
to my fusion generator
and use high-speed servos to--
Lunella Lafayette.
Why are you always
in such a hurry?
Sometimes the most
important ingredient
is a pinch of?
Paprika? Parsley?
Oh, no, no. Plutonium!
Patience.
In cooking, and in life.
[phone rings]
Hey, Saul!
What's crackin'?
Uh-huh. Fantastic!
No Roller Jam for us!
[all] What?!
Saul's gout flared up again.
He can't cover the rink for us.
Gout. The silent killer.
Mm-hmm. Eh-eh-eh.
S'all right.
Always next year.
Lord willing.
We should go anyway.
Let's just close the rink.
It's one night.
May I remind you,
In 42 years, our family
has never closed
Roll With It
for a skate session.
No matter how many,
or how few show up,
we're here to let 'em in.
Mm. Mm.
[grunts]
I'll do it! I'll run the rink!
No way I'm lettin' y'all
miss Roller Jam.
It's like your Super Bowl.
- Back up, Lu--
- I got this, Mom.
I'm responsible.
I'm smart enough.
Oh, we know. You're so smart
it's basically terrifying.
All right, then give me one good
reason why I can't do this.
I can think of thirteen.
Number one, you're thirteen!
And two through thirteen:
you're thirteen!
Dad, a thirteen-year-old who
knows this place inside and out.
Plus, I do the books,
and statistically speaking--
Tuesday's slow, yo!
Bet I could get Ahmed
from the deli to pop in,
Ah, yes, Ahmed! Love that guy.
This is ridiculous.
Help me out here, Mimi!
Actually, I think a nice slow
Tuesday running-the-rink
- is exactly what Lunella needs.
- Mm-hmm.
You're always saying she could
use more formative experiences.
Right, formative experiences!
Oh, look at me, so unformed
[chuckles] Let's get
our Roller Jam on.
- [cheering]
- Oof!
[Pops] Let's roll!
Mom, you sure he should be
doing stuff like that?
Stuff like that is why
I married him, sweetheart.
Bye!
Okay. A nice, slow Tuesday
[hums]
[humming continues]
[humming continues]
- [ticking]
- Ugh!
[hums]
[ticking]
[groans]
[groaning]
[ticking intensifies]
Nuh-uh! Who has time for this?!
Let's juice this up!
[laughs wickedly]
[whirring]
Hm. Maybe just
a liiitle more juice
[whirring intensifies]
Ah! Too much juice!
[grunts]
Ha! Ahhh!
[grunts]
Ahh!
[grunts]
[whirring powers down]
[sighs]
Oh, how am I gonna get this
cleaned up
before they get home?!
Okay, okay, five thousand cubic
inches o' popcorn
per square foot times ten thousand
square feet o' floor means
Ugh! I'll be sweeping till
the sun goes supernova!
There's gotta be
a faster way to--
[roaring]
[laughs]
Devil D! Big homie!
[sing-song] Who's hungry?
[shrieks]
You got it. Come on!
I knew you could do it!
You better eat that popcorn!
[gobbling sounds]
All of it! All of it!
Keep going! Keep going!
Eat it! Eat it! Eat the popcorn!
Wait, wait, wait!
No!
Ugh! Mom's turntables!
[sighs] Okay, okay.
Maybe I can fix this.
I can fix anything.
Yeah, I can't fix this.


[grunts]
Yes, I do think Mom will notice!
[grunts]
We need professional help.
[buzzing]
[Casey] Push it!
Come on-- dig it out!
- Go for Casey.
- Casey, I'm runnin' the rink,
and there was all this popcorn,
and Devil chowed down,
but then my Mom's turntables
got busted and--
- Faster, faster!
- I'm-runnin'-the-rink-
- and-there-was-all-this-popcorn-
- Not you! I'm talkin' to my Dads!
- [both pant]
- Hang tight, L.L. Cool Girl.
- Be there in ten.
- [beeps]
Lunella needs me.
She's in crisis.
Isn't it wonderful?!
[panting continues]
Keep pedaling!
Don't wait up.
Oh. Los quiero mucho, Papis!
Mwah. Mwah.
[panting]
[Lunella] Keep pedaling!
[Casey] Mm. Bad news:
your mom's limited-edition
SL-1200 turntables
are super rare.
No, not super rare!
- But great news:
- Oh!
I located some
at a nearby pawn shop--
- mint condish!
- [squeals]
But, uh, bad news again:
they're basically unaffordable.
[groans] This is a disaster, Casey.
No, hey. Okay.
One girl's disaster
is another girl's opportunity!
Which girl am I?
This is a business, yes?
Where you make
[singing] mon-ayyy?
Statistically speaking,
Tuesday's slow yo.
- Inspirationally speaking.
- Whoa!
we'll just have to make it your
most successful night ever.
[gasps] And I know how!
Tonight at "Roll With It":
a very special appearance
by Moon Girl
and Devil Dinosaur.
[sighs]
All your fans come.
We make bank.
We buy new turntables.
Your parents never know
what happened.
And if there's money left over,
we buy shoes.
- [growls]
- I know.
but how else am I supposed to
make a ton o' money?
Give me the green light,
and Superhero Skate Night
will be all over social media
faster than you can say
Casey María Eva Duarte
Goldberg Calderon!
[grunts]
Did I mention
the promo includes
an all-you-can-eat
snack bar?
- [grunts]
- Oh, so now it's a good idea?
[laughs]
It's all about the snacks.
[Lunella] Ugh!

[phone vibrates]
[Gravitas chuckles]
Found you, Moon Girl
[laughs]
Catering, check--
Transportation, check--
Sound department, check.
Aaaaaand publicity?
Uh, check!
But we used up all the glitter.
So, no more glitter.
[groans, snorts]
If ya don't like it, you shouldn't a'
smashed the turntables.
- Here.
- [grunts]
Now smiles, everyone!
Doors open in three
a two a one
Let's get this money!
- [chuckles]
- [ka-ching]
Hey! Welcome! Bienvenidos!
Have fun!
[upbeat music]

Yo, lady!
Ahmed, it's me, Casey!
Hey! Sorry.
Didn't recognize you
with all these flashin' lights.
Mister Lafayette wanted me to
check on Lunella, but--
the heck is goin' on in here?
Where is she?!
Uh
Whoa whoa whoa.
Is that Moon Girl?!
Aha! That's my girl!
[cheering]
[laughs] This is
actually gonna work!
Literally nothing
can stand in our way!
Nothing. Absolutely nothing!
[woman] Step up for
a smack down, Moon Girl!
Hold it, hermana-- Door charge.
Thank you. Proceed.
I'm takin' a shortcut to fame
by takin' you out!
Uh, sorry, you are?
[man] Olympic hopeful
Sophie Slugfoot
took the fast lane to glory
with a quick-twitch
muscle compound
that made her
a sprinting sensation!
But she was banned for life
and so she turned to crime
and became
Instantanegirl!
[both] Insta-what?
Instantanegirl!
Like "instantaneous?"
It's just kinda hard to say
Oh, maybe "Speedygirl"!
Yeah, that's much clearer.
- Speedygirl.
- Speedygirl.
[both] Speedygirl!
It's Insa--
I mean Instat
[groans] Instantanegirl!
[clattering]
- Still like "Speedygirl" better.
- Truth.
- Moon Girl wins!
- [cheering]
Yo. Did you set that up, Case?
Nope. Happy accident.
Hashtag, ♪rollwithit.
- But what if more villains show up?
- Chill, chica.
- I'm sure that was the only o- -
- [booming laughter]
I want dinosaur!
[nervous chuckle]
Uh
[man] Little Timmy Grubs
grew up a little too fast
after wandering into his
father's bio-lab
and getting blasted
with growth rays.
Now he stalks the night
seeking bottles,
wubbies and toys as the
terrible Manbaby!
It's mine!
- [growling]
- Mine!
[groans]
Ahhh!
- You okay, Dev?
- [grunts]
[grunts]
It all seems so real!
The bad guys are
very believable!
Multiple villains?!
- Yeah, this is getting--
- Incredible!
Your own rogues gallery?!
[chuckles]
That's Year-Two kinda stuff,
we're way ahead of schedule!
No, I was gonna say
getting out of hand.
And bad things always come in
threes, which means
Remember me?
[man] Gravitas.
The godfather of gravity.
His get-rich-quick scheme?
Rip the vault right out of
the central bank.
But last night
- Sorry!
- [man] The cash got cooked
and Gravitas swore revenge.
You'd better run
'cause I just made it
my mission in life
is to destroy yours!
[man] Whoa.
This just got serious.
You in danger,
Moon Girl.
[shutter clicks]
[shutter clicks]
"Moon Girl"
What's the moon have to do
with your whole shtick, anyway?
You worship the moon
or something?
"Worship"? I mean,
I like the moon, def in my top
five celestial bodies--
You like the moon so much,
how 'bout I send you
to the moon?
'Cause when you
mess with Gravitas,
Gravitas is gonna mess right b-
Yeah, yeah, yeah--
[gasps, grunts]
Whoa! [grunts]
[roars]
Devil, wait!
[grunts]
[whimpers]
[gasps]
Just wait, folks, Moon Girl's
about to
kick some serious boo-tay!
Yo, M.G.! You gotta take
this clown down, fast!
How?! You saw what
he did to Devil--
You don't wanna play?
You wanna hide like a punk?
All right.
Then I'm not just sendin' you
to the moon,
I'm sendin' this
whole roller rink!
[grunts]
He's floatin'
the whole place, Lu!
This'll crater
our online reviews!
Yeah, along with
my family's rink
and everyone in it!


[laughs wickedly]
Yeah, I'll run the rink
I'm responsible
I won't let you down
Who you talkin' to?
Get that guy!
If I rush him,
I'll just get gravitated, too!
Oh, I rushed this whole thing.
Just like I rush everything.
Remember your most
important ingredient
Mm, paprika?
Huh. Mmm.
Oh. Oh, yeah!

Look at this.
The little genius finally
deduced the truth:
You can't escape gravity.
[gurgling]
I deduce you're outta juice.
Solid clapback!
You like it?!
It just came to me!
I'm so proud.

Ay, I missed the beginning!
Can you do it again?!
Ahh!!
[all scream]
[grunts]
Power-- I need power!
Aha!
D! Tail whip!
[grunts]

Ahh!
[grunting]
[grunts]

Oh, no! [grunts]
[grunts]
[pants, sighs]
- Moon Girl saves the day again!
- [cheering]
- [sighs]
- How'd you know how to beat him?
Ah, nah. Simple.
Based on the dimensions
of his fusion tank,
I calculated his energy supply
and then employed evasive
maneuvers till it was exhausted.
[chuckles]
I used a pinch of patience.

Best skate night ever!
Those special effects were dope.
I was legit in fear for my life!
Thanks for coming, folks!
Hope you had fun!
[sighs] Did we make enough?
- Let's go get those turntables!
- [screams]
Yes!
Oh, I missed you!
How are my babies?!
Don't worry, Mama's home now.
Hold up.
[sniffs]
[gulps]
You're even more beautiful
than I remember!
[sighs]
Ah, the sweet smell o'
slow- cooked kettle corn.
What about that idea of yours
Something about
speeding things up?
Actually, Mimi
I think your recipe is perfect.
Well, okay then.
How about our girl?
Running this place
all on her own.
Ha! Yeah, it was
no big thing, Pops.
Just another slow
Tuesday night [chuckles]
Although, if I'm being real,
I'm in no rush to do it again.
Really? Why not?
[screams]
What the--?
