English term or phrase: on a roll
- I hope you don't get that grey streak in there like the little girl did in Frozen.

- Man, you're really on a fucking roll now, aren't you?

Explanation:
as I understand it with the limited context, and the use of familiar language, the meaning of "on a roll" here would be more "etre parti pour un tour". Mais je traduirais la phrase comme ceci: "He, tu vas me lacher un peu maintenant?"

Asker: A girl going into cryo chamber, and her partner afraid of getting inside this stuff. That what's happening on the scene.
