Roxy the Rock/We're off the Map Now The Story of Tracy Beaker

# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through

-# It doesn't matter What may come my way...

-No! No!

# Believe me now I will win some day. #

Hey! Oi...

You have to learn to let go.

Good morning! Bit early for your break, isn't it?

Get your hands off our mail, Tracy Beaker!

Did you hear something?

No? Must be a little mosquito.

Give it back...now!

Oh, it's not a mosquito, it's a Munchkin.

Here, little Munchkin,

you can deliver these for me cos I can't be bothered.

You can't boss me around!

You don't even live here any more. I run this place now!

Listen, Mighty Mouse.

You can't even go to the toilet without your brother or sister.

And it doesn't matter where I live,

I'm still the boss, the chief, the queen bee around here.

Tracy...Beaker...rules. OK?

Wrong!

There's a parcel for Chantal.

-Who rules?

-Roxy rules.

< Who'd send a Wellard a present?

Bog off, Beaker.

Open me!

Open me!

"Dear Chantal, have a lovely birthday.

"See you soon, love, Dad."

FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

Hopeless, Bounce. The record's 48cm in diameter.

-It's too hard.

-Let's try something else.

Why get into the record books, anyway?

The Plakova family name, here in black and white!

Aah, fame!

-It's daft.

-Fine, I'll do it myself.

All I ask for is a bit of family loyalty and co-operation, but no...

All right, all right! I'll help you.

DRUM ROLL AND FLOURISH

-That was good, Bounce!

-Why didn't you measure it?

Go fish! Pay up!

Why are you playing cards with her?

-Cos you always cheat.

-Don't! Stop playing cards with her!

-You doing what Tiny Tina tells you?

-I could take you on, Beaker.

And what you gonna do? Bite my kneecaps?

No. I'm gonna teach you who's boss here for once and for all.

Three against one?

If you take on my sister, you take on me too.

-And me.

-We're a team.

-That's the way it's always been.

Back off! I don't need you!

Just us, Beaker, to the finish.

Name your weapons.

Go tell everyone!

Welcome to the World Title fight!

At stake, the title...

-Boss of the Dumping Ground!

-CROWD CHEERS

In the blue corner, the indomitable Tracy Beaker!

CROWD CHEERS THEN BOOS

And in the red, newcomer and Mighty Midget...Roxy Wellard!

CROWD CHEERS, BELL RINGS

There's a guy here that built a double bed with marshmallows.

It's too expensive.

Someone peed for four and a half minutes without stopping!

Too weird!

Ladies and Gent... I mean, Gentlemen!

The battle of the century is about to begin!

Roxy Wellard challenges the Beaker!

-Really?

-Marco, we're busy.

To fight for the title... "Boss of the Dumping Ground!"

We can do this later...

Are you gonna take this challenge seriously or not?

-Roxy! Roxy! Roxy! >

-Ha...! Co...!

BELL RINGS

< Come on Tracy, you're doing really well! You can beat her!

ALL TALK AT ONCE

< Roxy! Roxy! You can do it!

< Roxy! Roxy! Roxy!

-Aaachooo!

-What? You cheated!

-Did not!

-Yes, you did! She distracted Tracy!

-Hay fever.

I told you, I can beat her on my own!

-OK. Best of three, then?

-Name your weapons.

Easy peasy. You're finished, Tracy Beaker.

I've got it! No-one's tried to stand on their head all day

-in an airing cupboard.

-Yeah. I wonder why?

It's warm in there, you'd need to drink plenty and...

Me? I'm not standing on my head in an airing cupboard!

Fine! I'll do it!

Round one to the challenger, Roxy Wellard!

-Wow!

-Let round two commence!

Marco, I've told you, we're doing something important!

BELL RINGS

< You can do it, come on!

< Come on, Rox! Concentrate!

< Come on! You're nearly there! Come on, Rox!

-I can't watch any more!

Shut up, Marco!

SHE COUGHS

-Ah, she blinked!

-I won!

-You done that on purpose!

-I didn't!

-You did! You wanted me to lose!

-What's the matter with you?

Can we have this charming family scene later, please?

I've to squash Annie Ant so I can get on with running the place.

Your days visiting the Dumping Ground are numbered, Tracy Beaker!

-Oh, yeah?

-Toss to see who names the next challenge.

-Heads!

-Tails it is!

One hour, downstairs. Be there, if you've got the guts.

Shame the wrong one blinked, eh Chantal?

I didn't do it on purpose!

Liar. By the way, what was in your parcel?

A book you and Rio had sent off for?

The Cheats' Annual? The Bumper Book of Cheats?

-What parcel?

-It came in the post for you. I gave it to Roxy.

You might give me a bit of encouragement,

it's not much fun in here.

Bounce, it's like being in the desert.

I'm gonna need loads of water.

FLATLY: Yeay, you can do it, Lol.

Go Lol.

-< MUFFLED:

-Oh, very encouraging(!)

It's daft, there are better things we can be doing on a Saturday!

You're my brother! You're supposed to be helping me!

-Now get with the team!

-Yeay Lol. Go Lol.

-Round two to the Beaker! Round three in one hour...hey!

-Sh!

What's going on out there, bro?

You can do it, Lol! Go on, Lol!

Good one, Lol. Come on, son. All the way!

Why did you steal the present my dad sent me?

-I...

-Is this why you gave me a hard time earlier? You're jealous?

-No!

-Then why?

I thought we were a team?

-You're the one meeting your dad without telling us.

-No I'm not!

"See you soon, lots of love, Dad!"

I thought we could trust each other. I was wrong.

You're wrong if you think I'm ever gonna speak to you ever again!

You don't say anything to her either!

You shouldn't have done it, Roxy.

You're doing a great job! Hang in there!

'You can do it, Lol. Go on, Lol. Good one, Lol!' BELL RINGS

-Where's Roxy?

-Here.

Name your weapons.

Whoever eats the most chocolate wins. Hungry?

Starving.

Oh, no, wait, we can't start yet.

Your brother and sister aren't here to cheat for you.

-They're not coming.

-Why not?

Because I've split up with them, as if it's any of your business!

I might let you chicken out then, just for today.

I don't need them! I can fight my own battles!

Go!

ALL TALK AT ONCE

< Come on Tracy, bigger bites! < Come on Tracy, you can beat her!

< Bouncer? Are you there?

< Bouncer? I knew you'd let me down!

RECORDED VOICE: 'I'm with you 100%! Go for it!'

< So-rry!

'Hang in there, Lol, you can do it...'

That's 12 to Tracy, 12 to Roxy, who will make it lucky 13?

She's finished...take her Tracy!

They've stopped!

-What's wrong?

-Ooh, I can't go on.

-No!

-Oh, my guts...

No, no you can't, Tracy! You have to eat!

-Do not let her win!

-I'm beat...

Does that mean I'm the boss, then?

-No, Tracy!

-Roxy Wellard is the winner.

-Oh!

THUNDER ROLLS

Keep working!

CHAINS CLINK

In that case...

SHE VOMITS

I heard how brave you were.

We're proud of it, Rox.

You know, you got it all wrong.

Just cos my dad sends a present every year or so,

doesn't mean I'm interested in him.

-Honest?

-Honest.

I gave him the boot years ago, just like your hopeless dad.

And just like I would with my hopeless dad...

if I knew who he was.

-I'm sorry.

-Me too.

Me three.

'Hang in there Lol, you can do it.'

Ah, I don't think I can last much longer...

Only a few more hours, you can do it, bruv...

Cheers, bro. I couldn't do without you.

-See ya, Monster Midge.

-Why did you cheat?

-I didn't!

-You did, you let me win, that's cheating. Why?

D'you know what makes me queen around this place?

I acted toughest when I was alone and hurting the most...

just like you did today.

You're the same as the Beaker, and you deserve the crown.

For the moment!

I would have beaten you anyway, Tracy Beaker!

Yep, you're the same as the Beaker!

No flipping - there's plenty more action coming now!

Second right, and I should see Carter's Woods on the left.

After about a mile.

Don't be late now.

Sure she doesn't know?

Hasn't got a clue! Thinks we're going to the Transport Museum.

OK, Zara, so you'll send me the notes, yeah? Thanks! Bye!

Morning! My agent. Toast?

With honey, not jam. And tea.

-Milky, just how you like it.

-I think I'll have muesli.

-But you hate muesli. It's rabbit food.

-So?

Ten billion rabbits can't be wrong.

Besides, why do I have to eat stuff I like the whole time?

I suppose a change can be good.

-Stop agreeing with me! Everything's so nice here.

-Sorry.

-It's like everything runs on a rail. It's boring.

-What do you want?

Maybe just a smidge more chaos!

GENERAL HUBBUB

I can't eat this - it's burnt.

I'm not eating them. I know my rights.

Well, if someone hadn't whacked the toaster up to 11...

I haven't got time for this today. We've got to leave in half an hour.

-Do we have to go orienteering?

-We went last year.

Some kids are still out there.

Like breakfast, it has challenges for you to solve as a team.

Plus it's the perfect leaving do for Jackie and Bouncer.

Jackie'll get us all there, and Bouncer will chef the barby.

And then for the grand finale, we've got a surprise!

Surprise? Tell us, please!

No, no - I've said too much already.

More toast, anyone?

Hey!

I bet you made sandwiches, rang to check they're open

and booked the tickets.

And what's wrong with that?

It's just so predictable. Can't you do something to surprise me?

Welcome to the Transport Museum!

Wait, wait!

Stop! Stop! Come back!

SCREAMING

Right, all packed. Oh...

-What's that?

-Directions.

-Can't you walk out the door without having a plan...ever?

-Course I can.

OK, stuff the museum, let's do it.

It's good to have a bit of an idea where...

-I knew it. Never mind.

-No, we...

-Well, OK, then!

-Good!

-Come on!

-But my sandwiches...

We could go anywhere!

Might not be back for a month... or ever!

Ooh, should I cancel the milk?

-Just drive.

-Where?

-Cam!

-OK, I'm driving, I'm driving.

OK, I'm Frodo, and you're Sam. Bring on the Orcs.

As long as we have the map.

-It is in the back, right?

-You bet.

So, where's Checkpoint A, then?

Map reading is easy. Check north on your compass,

get your bearing, then count off the degrees.

It's Saturday. You want me to do maths?

Yeah, this isn't the Gobi Desert.

It's there, right? So, what... that's over there somewhere?

Oh, come on, guys, let's just go.

I'm with you.

Get it over with. C'mon, Rox.

You gotta to do things properly or you'll get nowhere.

-She's right.

-Whatever! See you next week sometime.

-You'll get lost!

We'll still beat you, slowcoaches! ..Come on, speed kings.

Where's Checkpoint A, then?

Shut up! Come on!

Ron, my man!

This is Sid. Sid, Ron.

-Ron, Sid.

-Thanks for all your help.

-No problem.

-You won't be too hard on our lot?

-Course not. They're only kids.

All units - game on.

Targets are headed into Delta sector.

(Targets?)

You threw it out the window?!

Oh, stop stressing. I got you here, didn't I?

I reckon I'd make a great explorer.

Do you ever think about what you would like to do?

I just can't decide...

film star or a brain surgeon(?)

But really...not that you couldn't be those things...

I dunno. At the Dumping Ground,

just getting through breakfast was a challenge.

-But you're not there any more.

-So...?

I just follow my nose. It's more interesting that way.

Mmm, I think it's important to look ahead.

That's cos you're a worrier.

If you don't plan, you can't get disappointed. Is that it?

I just like to think I'm ready for anything! Come on!

Where?

-Over there!

-Are you sure?

-Come on, where's your sense of adventure?

-I can't believe I'm leaving the DG.

-She's lucky to be going.

-Who says she's that good a runner?

-You're just jealous.

-You're gutted.

-I'm not!

-Don't worry, you've got us Wellards to keep you in order.

-That's what I'm afraid of.

-You'll get out of here long before us.

Have you ever heard of "look before you leap"?

Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere!

-Well, I wasn't driving, was I?

-You're saying it's MY fault?!

Just put your foot down, OK?

No, more than that.

Nice one.

Oh, Tracy!

Sorry. I'll stop...

in a sec!

I want a bath. And telly.

-And a hot chocolate...

-Oh, come on now...

where's your sense of adventure?

Do you think this is Checkpoint A?

Must be it.

-Weird.

-YOU can talk.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Looks like we beat the other lot to it, anyway.

-Yeah.

Yeah! They used their legs - we used our heads!

Here it is!

ALL: Ugh!

Disgusting!

Green and slimy - get it off!

Yes! Revenge is sweet.

For the tricks of the past year...

now it's our turn.

-That was brilliant!

-Please...

we're just getting started here.

Lucky we got here first, eh?

-What's so funny?

-Don't you get it?

Beware of the BOGEYman?

OK, I found the directions.

What are you doing? That'll help the next team.

Yeah - wouldn't you rather THEY got the next "surprise"?

Oh, yeah...right.

-Yeah! Checkpoint B!

-Speed kings rule!

Beat 'em even though they had a head start - sweet.

Just too fast for them!

-Do you think they're inside?

-This must be it!

SQUELCHING

Ugh!

What is that?

Shh!

What IS it?

-Hiya.

-You set us up.

-Look at us.

We've all been set up.

It's Sid and Duke, getting us back for all our tricks.

We need to join forces. Move fast and in the right direction.

Yep. This should be it.

-What do you mean? We're on a mystery tour.

-Over there!

Surprise! It's Jackie and Bouncer's leaving do!

-This was your big scheme all along, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-Well, you said I never surprise you.

-Nice one.

You're sneakier than you look.

Well, you go for it - I plan ahead.

I think we make a pretty good team.

Yeah, we do. But my way is more fun.

One day, if I say, "Close your eyes and jump," would you do it?

-Yeah.

-Promise?

I'm not falling for that one again!

Look at me - I'm stinking!

Ugh, what happened to you?

I was gonna ask you the same thing.

Tracy! Would you like to join us? The instructions are over there.

-Go and get them, will you?

-Hello? I was not born yesterday.

-Someone's gotta get them.

-Him.

All those in favour?

Go on, Marco.

It's OK! I'm all right!

ALL: Oh...!

How could you let this happen?

Where's your self-respect? You're in serious need of Beaker help.

Well, it worked.

I wonder if they got wet?

-Yeah, we did, actually.

-Beaker!

-But not as wet as you're gonna get!

So when are you off, then?

Tomorrow.

You OK with it?

Yeah. But I'd rather be going to live with someone like Cam.

That school will be OK...

better than the Dumping Ground.

-Anywhere'd be better. But in a weird way, I'll miss it.

-I do.

And if you tell anyone that, I will kill you.

Oi!

Everyone's looking for you.

Hang on.

Just want to say...wherever we wind up, hope we stay mates.

Ugh!

Not bad, eh?

So who wants to go first?

Looks like we've got our first volunteers, then.

Scared?

Uh, yeah. Are you?

Yep.

Close your eyes and jump.

Oh, why did I promise?!

Come on!

Here's to Jackie.

Here's to Bouncer.

Still, life goes on, eh?

ALL: Bye!

Oh, is it supposed to do that?

Oh, please don't embarrass me.

I can't hear you - your knees are knocking too loudly!

You wish! What's this do?

Tracy! Don't touch that!

-OK, keep your hair on!

-Oh, can we go over there?

You can't steer a balloon, stupid.

-You just have to go where the wind takes you.

-What?

-But that means we could end up...

-Yep. Just about anywhere!
