A sports car pulls in backward to a parking space right beside the dormitory doors.
KARL
Is today the first day of summer camp fun?
Johny, an athletic 23 year old, gets out of his vintage sports car.
JOHNY
Jesus Karl you fucking hammered.
KARL
(slurring) Hey sir! I am not drunk just slightly buzzed.
JOHNY
Yes you are and no, it’s tomorrow morning. I’m just getting the car packed.
Karl’s girlfriend, Lizzy, is wearing a short blue Jean skirt high up her thighs. She pulls her hair back and smiles at Johny.
KARL
What is the check list? Lots of mosquito spray sun block and a package of condoms.
JOHNY
Something like that.
Lizzy takes a drink of Karl’s flask.
LIZZY
That’s so cool your going to spend the whole summer with kids.
Johny leans back against his vintage Jaguar.
KARL
Sounds like too much work.
Karl throws his hand through his hair.
KARL
I would at least take some pain pills with me. You know just in case.
KARL
I could have gotten you that internship with my Dad’s firm.
JOHNY
Thanks but I kind of want to get away from the city for the summer. YOu know breathe some country air.
KARL
Well, soak up the sights in Hickville.
JOHNY
You don’t spend while your there. By the end of the some hopefully I’ll have nice little nest egg besides, somebody has to maintenance this.
Johny pets the roof of his car.
KARL
How long are you there for?
JOHNY
June and July.
KARL
I’m sure you’ll have a grand oh time staying sober for the entire summer. While you living with a cabin full of delinquents running around screaming their heads off. At least your good with kids. I can’t stand the little shits.
Lizzy slaps Karl’s chest.
LIZZY
Don’t say that. You told me you like kids.
KARLS
Yeah, just so long as I can walk away and never see them again.
Karl slurps his flask.
JOHNY
I get a forty eight hour break at the end of June. I might be back here for a day.
KARL
Don’t worry brother. We’ll have beer chillen in the fridge. Listen, I know I would be kinda hard to drink around the little rug rats but,
LIZZY
Don’t you mean it would be kinda hard. You just said I would be kinda hard.
Karl busts out in a long exaggerated laugh. Karl looks around like he has an idea.
KARL
You should take some weed with you to summer camp.
JOHNY
I don’t know. I had’nt thought about it.
KARL
That’s why you seal that shit. Put it in a jar ok. Better yet take my vacuum sealer got a vacuum sealer. Hey all I’m saying is think about it. It might be worth it when you’ve had little Billy wakes you up in the morning screaming I want pancakes.
JOHNY
Patience is a virtue.
Karl smiles lifting up his flask and shaking it.
KARL
(drawn out scream)Ah! Damn it quit calling me a drunk.
JOHNY
Jesus Karl, it’s not even happy hour and your already wasted.
Karl tries to pass the flask to Johny.
JOHNY
No thank’s I just had my vitamins. Wouldn't want to just piss them out.
KARL
Dude your such a fucking retarded nut. Say,...
Karl looks around for any one else tuned in to what he is saying.
JOHNY
I got a new Al Green CD at the house.
JOHNY
(intrigued)
Last cd was a hit.
KARL
How about you kick it with the muffin man before you go off.
JOHNY
You know the muffin man.
KARL

JOHNY
I don’t know. I got to get some rest. It’s a three hour dive from here.
LIZZY
Come have one beer Johny.
Karl looks at Lizzy.
JOHNY
Should I?
LIZZY
Of course Johny come hang out.
Karl looks down at Lizzy.
KARL
Lizzy’s friends and a hot tub. It’s going to be a killer party. If Lizzy gets naked they all get naked.
LIZZY
Freshman. They pretty much do whatever I want.
KARL
You do whatever I want.
Lizzy laughs and kisses Karl on the lips. Karl sticks his tongue out and waves it in the air until Lizzy does the same thing and their tongues touch.
KARL
Grab my cock and touch my chain.
Lizzy’s eyes lower and she powerfully grabs Karl’s cock and dangles his chain with her finger.
JOHNY
I’ll leave you guys alone. I don’t think I want to be around you tonight.
Johny turns around and starts to walk away.
KARL
Johny wait.
Johny turns around.
KARL
Dude, did you get your final back from Roland?
Johny holds up four fingers.
JOHNY
Yeah, A plus.
KARL
They say Roland hasn't given an A in twenty years. How did you pull that off?
JOHNY
It would take all night to explain.
KARL
Fuck Citizen Kane!
Lizzy guzzles on the flask.
LIZZY
Fuck Herman Mankiewicz!
KARL
You got to let me buy you a drink for that A brotha.
JOHNY
I leave at seven in the morning mane.
KARL
So. You got one night to party then you can go play duck duck goose all summer.
Lizzy puts her hand on Johny’s shoulder and leans up to his ear.
LIZZY
(persuasively)
That’s not until tomorrow. You know heather really wants to see you.
JOHNY
I didn't hear Heather say that.
LIZZY
Are you saying a sister’s word isn't worth anything?
KARL
(convincingly)
Lizzy’s parents are out of town for the rest of the week. Pool side bar-b-q, a whole lot of liquor and, did I mention Jacuzzi?
Johny looks at Lizzy.
LIZZY
(cute voice)
Heather would love it if you came.

Good morning baby. That was a night to remember.
Johny looks down at the bed were Heather is laying half exposed.
HEATHER
Do you think you’ll be able to see me at all this summer?
JOHNY
I don’t know.
Johny puts on his jeans and grabs a shirt off the floor. Heather looks at his butt.
HEATHER
I want to come visit you.
JOHNY
Don’t worry you will get to.
Johny stumbles down a large stair case.
INT. LIZZY’S LIVING ROOM- MORNING
Karl and Lizzy are sitting together, amidst a cloud of smoke that lingers in front of a flat screen television. The two are watching cartoons and sharing the same blanket.
KARL
Whoa, life of the party! Where are you going Johny?
JOHNY
I’m late.
KARL
How’s about a beer boy.
Johny starts to gag as if he is about to throw up. Karl jumps up from the couch taking the blanket leaving Lizzy exposed on the couch.
LIZZY
Fucking asshole.
Lizzy stands up and flips Karl off then walks out the room.
KARL
Here take some medicine. Reload.
Karl hands Johny a bottle of water. Lizzy passes Karl a joint.
KARL
(Country accent)Take your medicine boy?
Karl holds the joint out for Johny to take.
KARL
And here man. This is just a little going away present. Something for your night off.
Karl hands Johny a vacuumed sealed bag of weed. Johny reaches for the joint and bag at the same time.
JOHNY
That’s what I’m talking about.
Johny takes the joint from Karl’s hands and puffs on it blowing a bubble of smoke back into his mouth.
JOHNY
Oh shit.
Johny starts coughing.
KARL
Yeah. How do you feel?
JOHNY
If I’m late I’m late.
KARL
Late for What.
JOHNY
See you in July.
Johny starts to laugh at the cartoon and Karl joins in.
EXT.
Johny’s car heads down a two lane road listening to a southern rap song. He reaches for the knob to the cd player and crank the volume to maximum.
As the volume climbs so does Johny’s speed.
INT. SHERIFF CAR- DAY
Sheriff Bill, an overweight peace enforcer in his mid thirties, is eating a sandwich with everything when he notices Johny’s car coming from the distance.
SHERIFF BILL
Don’t slow down.
The sheriff swigs down a gulp of coffee.
SHERIFF BILL
Let the wind get behind you.
Sheriff Bill points his radar gun at Johny’s car as it passes by.
Sheriff Bill throws the car in drive and takes off after Johny.
The Sheriff car gets closer to Johny’s Bumber.
SHERIFF BILL
(thick southern accent) Well, look at what we have here. That is one nice Jaguar, must have cost daddy a pretty penny.
Johny is so immersed in the rap song he doesn't notice Sheriff Bill on his tail.
INT. JAGUAR- MORNING
Johny begins singing along to a verse in the song he’s listening to as he heads down a country road with a cop on his tail.
JOHNY
(shouting)
Get money spend money stay fly but my level you can’t get it I’m hustler, I’m a hustler yeah!
Johny finally looks in his rearview mirror at the flashing lights of a cop car.
JOHNY
Shit! Just my luck to get pulled over by some small town fuzz.
INT. SHERIFF CAR- MORNING
Taped to the dash is a picture of the sheriff with his wife and kid.
DISPATCHER (V.O.)
No prior arrests the plates run clean. The car is licenced to Johny Hash.
The sheriff grips his walkie-talkie.
SHERIFF BILL

Johny’s car pulls over to the side of the two lane country road. The sheriff gets out of his car and slams the door with authority then walks up to Johny’s window.
SHERIFF BILL
Keep your hands on the wheel
The sheriff circles Johny’s car with his hand on his gun.
EXT. JAGUAR- MORNING
JOHNY
I didn't know you were behind me.
SHERIFF BILL
Your lucky I don't put a gun to your nose and pull your preppy ass out of your car here. Give your license and registration boy.
JOHNY
Dude come on.
SHERIFF BILL
Dude? Just say yes sir and do what I tell you to.
SHERIFF BILL
Yes sir.
Johny reaches for the glove box and opens it. As he opens the glove box the Sheriff slides his hand on to his gun holster.
SHERIFF BILL
(drawn out) Real slow like.
Johny hands the Sheriff his documents.
JOHNY
Sir, officer. I didn't know you were behind me.
SHERIFF BILL
(little man syndrome)
What’s that car say on it boy.
Sheriff Bill points at his squad car.
SHERIFF BILL
Matter of fact, what the does this badge say?
The sheriff reflects the sunlight proudly off his gold star.
SHERIFF BILL
It says sheriff and I’m the only one in this town. Where are you headed to son?
JOHNY
The sheriff starts to chuckle.
SHERIFF BILL
It’s that time a year again.
The sheriff looks down at the piece of paper in his hands.
SHERIFF BILL
My boy is a Sioux there. His names Ralpheal but his camp name is Sodontknow. They say it’s Sioux for strength. I’m sure he gets that from me. Keep an eye on him will you.
Johny looks at watch.
SHERIFF BILL
I’m going to let you off on the speeding violation but, Your insurance is expired. I’m going to have to write you a ticket for that.
The sheriff leans down into Johny’s window and pulls down his shades as he sniffs the air.
SHERIFF BILL
Sign this and when you get to camp tell Cody hi for me.
Sheriff tears off his ticket and passes it to Johny.
SHERIFF BILL
Have a good day now ya hear. Try and watch the speed limit. Nice car by the way.
The sheriff walks back to his squad car.
JOHNY
Ralpheal your dad is fucking prick.
EXT. CAMP CHICKINAWA- LATE MORNING
As Johny approaches the camp zone there is a 15 mile an hour speed limit sign. On a tree beside the road is a sign that reads “You are now in Camp C Zone!”
JOHNY
Ok, I guess I’m here.
Posted on trees are large inspirational phrases in red and blue.
Johny slows down and reads each sign posted on the trees. The signs read: “The world is what you Make of it,” “happiness is all in the mind” and, “Get your particles in motion.”
JOHNY
What?
A group of counselors all dressed in khaki shorts and white shirts that read “Chickinawa Summer 05,’”stand in the road and cheer as if they were welcoming home the super bowl champions.
JOHNY
You have to be kidding me.
Suddenly, everyone forms a straight line in the middle of the road. Starting with the first person in line the counselors start pirouetting away opposite the person ahead of them.
JOHNY
Now that’s a fucking welcome.
Now in two separate lines on either side of the road
Johny cautiously cruises between them as they applaud with unrivaled enthusiasm.
JOHNY
Ok, don’t jump in front of car.
Bam, A tall dark brown Hispanic counselor attempts to open Johny’s locked door. Unsuccessful, Bam knocks on Johny’s tinted window.
INT. JOHNY’S CAR- MORNING
Johny presses a button and lets the window slowly roll down. Bam leans his head through the narrow gap between the car door’s window.
BAM
Hey buddy! My name is Richard but, my
JOHNY
Sure.
The door unlocks and Bam is covered in sweat soaked clothes. Bam is breathing like he has just ran a marathon.
BAM
Nice ride man.
JOHNY
Thanks.
BAM
Keep heading down this road and I’ll tell you when to turn left. I mean turn right. Yeah, should know my way around here by now this is my tenth year at Chickinawa.
JOHNY
Really? That’s a long time.
BAM
Oh yeah! It’s been great. I’m just glad they chose me. I’d probably be dead if it wasn't for Cody and the camp owners. I was underprivileged growing up. My mom was a crack head and I never met my dad. I won a free summer here when I was ten. Since then they have pretty much adopted me. This camp is my life.
JOHNY
Man I’m sorry to hear you had a rough childhood.
BAM
Oh, don’t feel sorry for me. My life is great now!
This summer is going to kick butt!
JOHNY
That’s good to know.
BAM
I don’t remember much of my old life, just getting shuffled from one foster home to the next. I finally feel at home here. I get to spend everyday at summer camp having fun with kids. It’s the best!
Johny looks at the road.
JOHNY
Is this the turn I’m supposed to make?
BAM
Take a left here Johny.
Bam turns and looks at Johny with a vigorous grin.
BAM
Your gonna love it. I just know you will. Hope you ready for the best summer of your life?
JOHNY
Better than the summer of sixty nine. Ha!
BAM
I don’t really see anything funny about that.
BAM is confused by Johny’s remark.
JOHNY
Sure, I guess you don’t know your history.
BAM
Yeah, I know what you were talking about. You were referring to sex. This is a Christian camp you know that right?
Pointing at a small cluster of cabins beside
BAM
These are the I boy cabins. The I stands for intermediate. That’s ages
JOHNY
Your an I-boy counselor?
BAM
I’m head counselor for the I boys. I’m in charge of getting the cabins ready for daily inspections and basically making sure that things run smoothly down on our end of the lake.
Johny’s car approaches a group of five cabins just about twenty yards away from a huge lake.
BAM
This is it. Park right here.
Johny parks the car on a small hill overlooking the lake side cabins.
EXT. I BOY CABINS- DAY
Johny steps out of the car then pops the trunk and pulls out a large black duffle bag from it.
BAM
Need some help unloading your stuff?
Johny hands the bag to Bam who struggles with it.
BAM
We are in Cabin three together.
Bam points at a cabin.
INT. I BOY CABIN 3- DAY
Bam runs and jumps on a cheesy ninja theme blanket covering the mattress.
BAM
Ah! I could take a nice nap. I got to go back and help greeting counselors is exhaustive.
Bam heaves heavily then resistingly rolls his sweaty ass of the bed.
BAM
Feel free to change into something more comfortable. We are going to be doing some physical activities later. Once your unpacked meet up at the top of the “C-Dome.” in There is a meeting in about an hour.
JOHNY
Where’s that?
BAM
The big complex up the road. It’s called the “C-Dome.” We’ll meet there every morning for the Spartan Athenian scores and the daily news. How else are we going to know what’s going on in the world.
JOHNY
I thought we were in the real world.
BAM
Not anymore.
Bam puts his hand on Johny’s shoulder.
BAM
Welcome to camp.
INT. TOP OF THE C-DOME- DAY
A large black man with dreadlocks addresses an audience of camp counselors.
BLUE
Each summer we call out to adults of this great state of
Blue looks wide eyed and intensly at the audience of counselors.
BLUE
Most of them say yes.
Blue laughs awkwardly when no one else does.
BLUE
Each summer we a blessed to have the greatest staff with the most unique and fun individuals. I don’t think any other place in the world can compare to the level of fun you will achieve here.
Blue looks at Johny.
BLUE
Your not just going to have fun. Your going to grow in mind, body and spirit.
Blue grabs the microphone and walks across the stage then hands it to Bam.
BAM
Hey guys, you are now in Chickanawa land. Hope you strapped on your seat belt because it is going to be a wild ride.
The counselors and hold up their hands forming a C. As everyone in the room cheers Johny looks around and begins to clap. Blue motions for there silence.
BLUE
We are going to make this year the best ever.
BAM gets excited and jumps in the air.
BAM
Nawa! Yeah.
BAM
BLUE
We have built up an empire of the goodest people I know. Now lets take a minute to let all that goodness resonate. We got a new youth minister, Shep.
Shep waves his hand at everybody. Blue closes his eyes and breathes in through his nose deeply.
BLUE
Smell that rich summer scent of pine trees and fun. Get a sun tan and...
Blue opens his eyes and looks down at the group of counselors he is addressing.
BLUE
Some of you guys might get lucky and meet the girl of your dreams here. Then get married and have a beautiful caramel child like mine. That’s a beautiful thing. Life and children are beautiful things.
Blue looks up at his boss, Cody Fur, who is positively loving Blue’s speech.
BLUE
Most of you guys here know Cody and his wife Shelly. Then we have the Camp director and everyone’s boss Tony Sprinter.
The camp counselors put their hands in the air making C’s with them.
COUNSELORS
(in unison) C!
Cody smiles and walks up beside Blue pointing at Tony.
CODY
It smells like something is cooking up in the kitchen this summer.
BLUE
You can believe that.
Cody turns on the staff promo video.
CODY FUR
You guys are going to be having the best fun this summer.
Blue steps back to the middle of the stage.
CODY
Now we are going to play a game to sort of get to know each other. I want everybody to get up out of their seat and start introducing themselves to as many people as they can for the next three minutes. Go.
Cody looks at his watch and sets the timer. Johny turns to his left.
JOHNY
Hi, Johny.
Robby, a young guy around the age of 18, shakes Johny’s hand.
ROBBY
Hey, how’s it going?
JOHNY
Not bad. You?
ROBBY
Just checking out the talent.
Johny and Robby stare at a group of girl counselors.
CODY
Just say hello and get a name people. You have two minutes left come on. See how many people you can meet.
Johny turns and looks at the young female counselor beside Bam.
JOHNY
Johny.
APRIL
April.
Crystal quickly throws her hand out to Johny.
CRYSTAL
Johny I’m Crystal.
JOHNY
Hi crystal.
Bam jumps beside Johny.
BAM
Hey! Johny’s in my cabin!
The girls look at BAM and he suddenly shuts up.
APRIL
There is a counselor movie later tonight at the lodge.
CODY
Alright guys.
Blue looks right at BAM.
BLUE
Bam! How many new names do you remember?
BAM
A lot! Like around twelve.
BLUE
Well, who are they?
BAM
Uhm...Sara, Preston, Pual, Mike, Johny, Robby and April.
BLUE
And...
BAM
And.
BLUE
And you already knew there names. How about someone you just met.
Bam smiles nervously and scratches his head.
BAM
Johny.
BLUE
It’s ok Bam.
The counselors laugh at Bam. Cody looks at his wife and she nods.
CODY FUR
We need all the females to go ahead and head to the bottom of the C-Dome. Cody is going to say a few things to the male counselors so no girls allowed.
Cody smiles. The girls follow Cody’s wife, Jill, down the steps of the C-Dome.
JILL
Let’s go girls. Time to talk about the cutest guy at camp.
Crystal is the final female counselor to vacate the C-Dome. She does so but, not before looking Johny in the eyes. Cody then looks at Johny and the other young men facing him.
CODY
Now, guys I know that there’s a lot of really hot junior counselors. Remember guys they are junior counselors for a reason.
ROBBY
(under his breath) So that next year they are ready to dunk.
BLUE
(with conviction)
The Junior counselors are seventeen! I know it’s hard to fight temptation but, you have to. I trust everyone of you guys. There are just a few standards we have to cover before the summer gets going.
Cody looks over at Blue.
CODY FUR
Fighting temptation is part of life guys. What it is now? I think there are around 400,000 registered child molesters in our country.
BLUE
Now I’m not saying any of yall are but, you need to know how to spot them. For some of yall this is just a review. Bam what is the difference between a good touch and a bad touch?
Bam quickly shouts out the answer.
BAM
Bad touch is when you touch someone in an area on their body that a one piece bathing suit would cover up.
CODY
Exactly! I want everyone to watch this film about sort of what we screen for and what you need to be on the look out for. These monsters exist. They are real.
Cody dims the lights and a projector begins to play a film. The image of an older man is projected on the screen.
CODY
This is a film about Steven Mortis. He is a child molester with multiple convictions. This video may make you guys feel a little awkward but, we need you guys to watch it.
A picture of Steven Mortis is now projected in black and white. He has a bald head mustache and thick bottle cap like bifocals. His still image begins to move.
INT. JAIL CELL- DAY
Steven Mortis the child molester is written in times new roman as the interview and runs across the screen in captions under Steven Mortis.
A spider suddenly lowers onto Steven’s shoulder.
STEVEN
I was about 17 when I first started looking at little children as sex objects. I have three convictions against me.
EXT. PARK- DAY
Steven Morris is standing in the shade under a tree smoking a cigarette watching several children play with a frisbee.
STEVEN
People think I can help it but, I can’t. It’s a sickness. It’s a disease but, I’m not scared of it anymore. While in prison I made the decision to cut off my nuts.
INT. HOSPITAL- DAY
Steven Mortis is in a medical gown on an examination table facing a doctor. The doctor examines Steven’s crotch and squints with disgust.
STEVEN
The pain was temporary and the effects are life time. I feel like a new person clean of all the dirty sex thoughts I once had running my life.
EXT. PARK- DAY
A frisbee lands on Steven’s foot. He picks it up and looks at a little boy who has run up to his knee to retrieve the frisbee.
STEVEN
For me the decision was a simple one. I just placed several rubber bands around my nuts and waited till they had no feeling.
Steven picks up the frisbee and hands it back to the little boy. The small child looks up at Steven. Steven begins to breathe deeply and winks at the kid who smiles and runs away.
STEVEN
Now I work with police to help catch what I used to be. It’s important to recognize what a child molester is. It’s someone you know and trust.
INT. TOP OF C-DOME- DAY
Cody walks up to the projector with a remote in his hand. He holds up the remote and stops the film.
JOHNY
(to himself)What the hell was that?
CODY
I wanted to show you guys his story so you will never mistake a person like him. If you paid attention Steven will teach you an important lesson.
BAM
He got what he deserved!
BLUE
I think he tried real hard until he realized balls just weren't for him.
Every guy in the Top of the O-Dome is shocked and silent. Cody turns on the lights and flicks a frisbee to Blue.
BLUE
I hope you guys are ready for a little game of Ultimate Frisbee cuz, it’s going on! Athenians Verse Spartans.
BAM jumps up.
BAM
I love it! Let’s get it on!
Bam barks like a dog. The other male counselors look at him with an unimpressed expression.
EXT. SOCCER FEILD- DAY
All the male counselors jog down to the soccer field beside the C-Dome. In the middle of the field stands Bam and Blue. Bam throws the frisbee to Robby as more guys begin to close in to a tight group.
BAM
Blue’s the Athenian chief and I’m the Spartan chief. As much as all you guys want to be Spartans we had to divide half of you to blue. Those chosen few will join my team. You other losers can go with Blue.
Bam looks directly at Robby.
BAM
Robby come with me.
KEVIN
Throw the it here Bam.
BAM
Cool it! Kevin you will get your turn.
Bam carriers the frisbee with him.
BLUE
Today you will find out whether you are a Souix or an Appache. We are not deciding. Your teams were randomly chosen before you arrived at camp. Rest assure that if you are an Souix you will win the Chickinawa Games.
BAM
Robby, Your a Apache.
ROBBY
Word.
Blue looks over at Johny.
BLUE
Johny your an Apache go on and join up on me team.
A combination of pointing and nods the guys begin to break into groups of Souix and Apache. Blue begins to hand out blue flags for his team to wear around their waist.
BLUE
Let’s do this.
Bam snaps the plastic buckle to his belt. The two red flags hanging from his hips and wave in the wind.
BAM
My team get your red on.
BLUE
The rules are basically the same as flag football except for one big difference. Instead of a pigskin we are using a frisbee. Guys lets try to avoid full body contact. Spartans are shirts and Appache’s are skins.
Blue looks at Bam.
BLUE
Heads or tails?

The alarm clock Beeps and Johny gets up and walks to the door.
RALPHEAL

JOHNY
To run.
The sun is not yet up but there is a pink glow to the sky. Johny is running down the paved road leading away from the C-Dome.
Johny runs past the Junior counselor’s cabins. The door opens and Griffin strolls out. He jogs toward Johny. Johny smiles and they High five each other.
JOHNY
I did’nt think you would make it.
GRIFFIN
You kidding? Seven fifteen wake and bake. Wouldn't miss it for a million dollars.
JOHNY
Your going to feel better than a million dollars when you hit the demon claw.
GRIFFIN
Whats the Demon claw?
JOHNY
You will see.
The two jog into the Counselor parking lot.
JOHNY
Many years ago a hand was made from fire and melted sand.
Johny opens his car door and leans inside. Johny reaches into his glove box and pulls out a glass pipe and a bag of weed.
JOHNY
This was that sand.
Griffin’s eyes widen when he looks at the pipe in Johny’s hand.
JOHNY
This bitch is hardcore.
Johny hands the bag to Griffin.
GRIFFIN
Damn this smells like a skunk.
JOHNY
Uhm. Smells fresh.
Johny takes the weed from Griffin and puts it back into his glove box.
JOHNY
This shit has to last me.
The two walk on a path toward the rifle range. They take a seat on the wooden bench facing the targets on the range. Johny takes a hit of the pipe the holds the weed in as he passes the pipe to Griffin.
GRIFFIN
Shit thanks man.
Johny lets out his hit and Griffin hacks up a lung.
JOHNY
Easy sailor, are you alright?
GRIFFIN
That’s some good shit.
JOHNY
Tell me about it. Just wait until you get to the cafeteria. Breakfast has never tasted so good. Dude is it just me or is this camp trying to hard to be energetic sometimes.
GRIFFIN
You haven't noticed. We are in the positive zone. Everything has to be fun and exciting.
Johny gets up from the bench and leans over laughing uncontrollably.
JOHNY
When I first showed up here I couldn't believe it. The Counselors were all lined up in the middle of the road doing choreographed dances.
Johny Gets up and waves his hands to dance as if he was excited about the arrival of someone. His Hand hits the top of the ceiling to the Rifle Range’s shooting shed.
JOHNY
Shit. Lost in the moment I guess.
Johny calms down after looking at his broken pipe and bleeding hand.
EXT. I BOY CABINS- DAY
Blue and Johny walk to behind the I boy’s cabin.
BLUE
I’ll get straight to the point Johny. There has been word going around that you smoke weed on your off time. Is that true?

BLUE
That’s all I needed to know.
Blue stick his hand out for Johny to shake. The two shake and head back up to the cabins.
EXT. LAKE LIVING- DAY
In the middle of a wide open area of Lake Living is a new silver Super Air Nautique. Inside the Nautique sits four girls and two boys around the age of twelve and thirteen.
Johny is sitting on the back of the boat helping a girl put her skis on. The boat is turned off and Brad is sitting with his feet propped up on the wheel just catching some sun rays.
ASHLEY
Brad can I jump in the water.
BRAD
Johny you got those ski’s on yet.
Johny turns around.
JOHNY
Not yet.
HEATHER
The skis are too small.
Heather frowns with frustration.
JOHNY
You just need more soap. The ski’s are the right size.
BRAD
Sure jump in.
Ashley jumps into the Lake and another girl joins her. There is no wind and the water sits still as glass.
JOHNY
There it’s in.
Ashley’s foot slides in to the ski and she falls into the water.
JOHNY
Go ahead and swim away from the boat a little.
Johny turns around and looks across the lake at a boat head toward them. Johny walks to the bow of the watches as the other boat approaches him at a rapid speed.
Johny throws his hands in the air as he catches the first glimpse at the faces of the counselors on the other boat.
At the front of the other boat is Jared, Robby and April. The word lifeguard pops up above the heads of Jared and April who are flirting with each other.
Jared is turned looking at April and laughing at Robby. Above Jared’s head is the word Boat Driver.
BRAD
Oh shit!
Brad jumps to tun the key to the boats ignition and Ashley screams from the water.
JOHNY
Fuck!
Jared finally turns and realizes were the boat is going.
At the same time Johny’s eyes catch Jared’s.
JARED
No!
April and the kids on Jared’s boat scream. Johny jumps off his boat right before the two collide.
While under water Johny hears a loud smashing sound above his head. He tucks his head under his arms as the life jackets brings him back to the water surface a boat propeller cuts through the water above him.
The blades nearly cut Johny before his head pops above water. A Ashley is crying and Johny immediately swims to her.
JOHNY
Are you ok?
ASHLEY
Yes.
JOHNY
Is everyone ok!
Johny pops off his life jacket and hands it to Ashley.
JOHNY
Get to the boat and see if anyone needs help.
Johny swims over to a boy holding his arm in the water. The boy is crying as Johny approaches him.
JOHNY
Just relax. Where are you hurt.
BOY
My arm.
The boys arm is obviously broken. The bone is sticking out the arm.
JOHNY
Don’t move your arm.
Johny swims the boy over to the boat. Brad face has lines of blood trickling from glass cuts on his face.
BRAD
Is he alright.
JOHNY
Give me your shirt. We are going to have to tie his arm up.
Brad takes off his shirt and throws it to Johny. Johny ties up the boys arm and Brad helps Johny get the boy onto the boat. The counselors on the boat are helping the children out of the water.
Another Nautique approaches the two wrecked ones. Blue carefully steers his boat causelessly to the scene of the wreck.
Jared gets on the boat he has just hit and get a full scope of the damage he has just caused.
Jared is shaking as johny just stares at him.
JARED
Oh shit, look at the damage. This is probably twenty five thousand dollars worth of damage I just caused.
Johny gets in Jared’s face.
JOHNY
The damage isn't half as important as one of these kid’s lives. Not to mention mine.
Jared and Johny stare into each others eyes and Jared is speechless.
BLUE
Johny take my boat and get these kids to the shore. Brad go with him. April you to.
Brad is staring at Jared with a furious intent on whooping some ass. April starts wiping tears from her face as she holds Ashley who is in a state of utter panic.
Johny helps the wounded boy and then the rest of the children onto the boat. He then cranks the ignition leaving Blue, Bam, Robby and the Nautiques in his wake.

LITTLE RAPHEAL
Johny do you believe everything in the bible is true.
Johny looks out at the calm lake water then back out
JOHNY
It could be.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
But, do you think it is?
JOHNY
The bible is a great book to live your life by I just don’t think everything in it is a fact. Did you know that the New Testament was written hundreds of years after the death of Christ.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
Christ came back from the dead didn't he Johny?
JOHNY
That’s what the bible says.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
That’s horse shit nobody comes back from the dead.
JOHNY
It’s the moral your looking for and that’s that everyone can bounce back from anything.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
Do you believe in heaven?
JOHNY
I’d like to believe in something.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
My dad told me they call it a religion if its hard to believe. Johny do you believe in heaven and hell?
JOHNY
Well, I guess I see myself coming back to make life better for people.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
That’s reincarnation. Are you a Buddhist?
JOHNY
I’m a spiritual person.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
Can I tell you a secret Johny.
Little Raphael begins to cry.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
Promise me you won’t tell anybody.
JOHNY
Yeah sure budy. What’s wrong?
Johny puts his arm around little billy and hugs him.
JOHNY
It’s ok. You don’t have to tell me.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
My dad hits me and my little brother.
JOHNY
How does he hit you?
LITTLE RAPHEAL
He hits me on the head real hard for no reason.
Little Raphael is shaking and trying to control the tears streaming down his face.
JOHNY
Don’t worry buddy it will be ok.
Johny hugs Ralpheal and looks up at the sky.

JOHNY
Oh yeah. I’ll be there.
JOHNY
Man I got to tell you something.
BIG MIKE
Yeah what’s up?
JOHNY
Ralpheal told me tody that his daddy beats him.
BIG MIKE
If I saw his dad I’d beat that mother fucker’s ass.
JOHNY
The sad thing is I went to cody about it and he said Ralpheal is lying to me. He said that he says that Ralpheals father is a fine man. I’m telling you when I looked into his eyes I could tell that kid was’nt lying to me.
Johny flips out a cd for Big Mike.
JOHNY
This is that new famous people blow trees cd also some M pegs of that O.P.P.
Big Mike grabs the CD from Johny
BIG MIKE
Hell yeah that’s what I’m talking about.
JOHNY
I’m get up on it.
EXT. I BOY CABINS- DAY
Blue and Johny walk to behind the I boy’s cabin.
BLUE
I’ll get straight to the point Johny. There has been word going around that you smoke weed on your off time. Is that true?
Blue looks Johny dead in the eye.
JOHNY
Listen man I signed a a form at the beginning of the summer that I would drink or smoke. That means cigarettes and weed. I don’t break my word.
BLUE
That’s all I needed to know.
Blue stick his hand out for Johny to shake. The two shake and head back up to the cabins.
EXT. LAKE LIVING- DAY
In the middle of a wide open area of Lake Living is a new silver Super Air Nautique. Inside the Nautique sits four girls and two boys around the age of twelve and thirteen.
Johny is sitting on the back of the boat helping a girl put her skis on. The boat is turned off and Brad is sitting with his feet propped up on the wheel just catching some sun rays.
ASHLEY
Brad can I jump in the water.
BRAD
Johny you got those ski’s on yet.
Johny turns around.
JOHNY
Not yet.
HEATHER
The skis are too small.
Heather frowns with frustration.
JOHNY
You just need more soap. The ski’s are the right size.
BRAD
Sure jump in.
Ashley jumps into the Lake and another girl joins her. There is no wind and the water sits still as glass.
JOHNY
There it’s in.
Ashley’s foot slides in to the ski and she falls into the water.
JOHNY
Go ahead and swim away from the boat a little.
Johny turns around and looks across the lake at a boat head toward them. Johny walks to the bow of the watches as the other boat approaches him at a rapid speed.
Johny throws his hands in the air as he catches the first glimpse at the faces of the counselors on the other boat.
At the front of the other boat is Jared, Robby and April. The word lifeguard pops up above the heads of Jared and April who are flirting with each other.
Jared is turned looking at April and laughing at Robby. Above Jared’s head is the word Boat Driver.
BRAD
Oh shit!
Brad jumps to tun the key to the boats ignition and Ashley screams from the water.
JOHNY
Fuck!
Jared finally turns and realizes were the boat is going.
At the same time Johny’s eyes catch Jared’s.
JARED
No!
April and the kids on Jared’s boat scream. Johny jumps off his boat right before the two collide.
While under water Johny hears a loud smashing sound above his head. He tucks his head under his arms as the life jackets brings him back to the water surface a boat propeller cuts through the water above him.
The blades nearly cut Johny before his head pops above water. A Ashley is crying and Johny immediately swims to her.
JOHNY
Are you ok?
ASHLEY
Yes.
JOHNY
Is everyone ok!
Johny pops off his life jacket and hands it to Ashley.
JOHNY
Get to the boat and see if anyone needs help.
Johny swims over to a boy holding his arm in the water. The boy is crying as Johny approaches him.
JOHNY
Just relax. Where are you hurt.
BOY
My arm.
The boys arm is obviously broken. The bone is sticking out the arm.
JOHNY
Don’t move your arm.
Johny swims the boy over to the boat. Brad face has lines of blood trickling from glass cuts on his face.
BRAD
Is he alright.
JOHNY
Give me your shirt. We are going to have to tie his arm up.
Brad takes off his shirt and throws it to Johny. Johny ties up the boys arm and Brad helps Johny get the boy onto the boat. The counselors on the boat are helping the children out of the water.
Another Nautique approaches the two wrecked ones. Blue carefully steers his boat causelessly to the scene of the wreck.
Jared gets on the boat he has just hit and get a full scope of the damage he has just caused.
Jared is shaking as johny just stares at him.
JARED
Oh shit, look at the damage. This is probably twenty five thousand dollars worth of damage I just caused.
Johny gets in Jared’s face.
JOHNY
The damage isn't half as important as one of these kid’s lives. Not to mention mine.
Jared and Johny stare into each others eyes and Jared is speechless.
BLUE
Johny take my boat and get these kids to the shore. Brad go with him. April you to.
Brad is staring at Jared with a furious intent on whooping some ass. April starts wiping tears from her face as she holds Ashley who is in a state of utter panic.
Johny helps the wounded boy and then the rest of the children onto the boat. He then cranks the ignition leaving Blue, Bam, Robby and the Nautiques in his wake.
INT. CAMP C CAFETERIA- DAY
Johny walks in through the doors. Female counselors hanging out by the door swoon over him as he steps out and heads toward the parking lot.
BIG MIKE
Going Acapulco now mane! I’m off the brain. Watch me break it open then do the thang.
Johny stands and watches as Big Mike wrecks the mike.
KEVIN
It’s sort of like Karaoke but you make up your lyrics and you have to make it rhyme.
Johny just watches on at the crowd of people surrounding Big Mike. It truly was a show he was putting on.
BIG MIKE
I might not drive the bat mobile But I’ll steel your wheels. Got dark tint sou you cain’t see what I’m doing law pull me over hell yeah I’ve been abusing. He’s just mad cuz I be getting head while I’m cruzin.
Big Mike looks up at Johny with red eyes and the two stare each other down.
KEVIN
Get on the mike Johny.
JOHNY
With every blow i spend more dow got money in the bank that i own property in Amsterdam where the seeds sown thats why you always see me with homegrown. I break down a flow like I broke Bam’s bone and got dome while his dream girl foamed.
Somebody else grabs the mike and starts to rap.
BIG MIKE
What’s up cousin who you bring?
KEVIN
This is my home boy Velvet J.
BIG MIKE
VelvetJ as you know if Cody or any of the other staff knew we were to get wind of our use of this fine stereo equipment we’d get fired.
Johny looks around at the groups of off duty Chickinawa kitchen staff.
BIG MIKE
As far as the rules. If you think you got what it takes there is only one mic if you got it then you got to wreck it.
JOHNY
That’s what’s up.
Big Mike walks back to the turn tables and starts to chop up the beat as another man starts to freestyle.
JOHNY
(to himself) That’s what’s up.
KEVIN
You know why these guys are cool Johny? They don’t give a shit about Tom Cruise. This country is so fucking screwed the media feeds you bull shit and makes you eat.
JOHNY
They do?
KEVIN
Yeah, how come Tom Cruise is such an icon.
Johny looks at Kevin.
JOHNY
Honestly, I wish someone would punch that guy.
KEVIN
Or punch his baby. That’s what I feel like when I hear this music. This is trap music or, “Hustle Musik.”
JOHNY
I’ve never heard this before.
KEVIN
That’s what I’m saying this is’nt Hollywood shit. This is down south music that is just originating here. Nobody else is doing it like this.
JOHNY
I like Big Mike’s words.
KEVIN
It’s a freestyle. He’s making it up as he goes along.
INT. I BOY CABIN- NIGHT
Johny opens the cabin door and hears wall to wall screams. He flips the light on and boys fly across the bunk beds to pretend as if they had been fast asleep.
JOHNY
I thought I told you guys to go to bed.
Johny exhales then hears a whimper coming from the bunk bed in the far right corner of the cabin.
JOHNY
Alright guys what did you do to Joey.
CHUCK
We didn't do shit! Joey is just being a little bitch.
JOHNY
Hey you watch your mouth Chance. That is a demerit.
Johny approaches Joey and touches his shoulder. Just then Joey turns around and squirts the cabin counselor in the face with water. The cabin erupts in laughter.
JOHNY
O.K. What is it going to take to get you guys asleep.
CHUCK
Tell us a ghost story
The others in the cabin chime in “yeah ghost story.”
JOHNY
I’m not aloud to tell ghost stories you know that.
JOEY
We aren't going to rat you out.
The other kids chime in “Yeah”
JOHNY
Maybe just one.
The kids begin to cheer.
JOHNY
Only if you promise to not say a word as I am telling the story and after I’m done. You have to go to sleep.
The kids in unison ‘Yeah we promise.” The lights are flipped out as velvet J holds a mag light up to his face.
JOHNY
Back when I was just a boy about the age yall are My grandfather would take me deer hunting.
Ten minutes has passed the kids look intensely at Johny waiting for him to finish what he was saying.
JOHNY
So after my grandfather killed the wild homeless person by cutting him taint to throat he gave the knife to me and said..
KID
What’s a taint?
Johny points the flashlight into the bunks
JOHNY
I thought I said no talking.
CHUCK
It is the space between your balls and your asshole. You know the one you never wipe.
The kids bust out into laughter.
JOHNY
I guess you don’t want me to finish.
The kids Moan and complain.
KIDS
Finish!
JOHNY
So he hands me the knife and says the words..
INT. CODY’S OFFICE- MORNING
CODY FUR
Johny please come in and have a seat. I understand you told ghost story last night.
JOHNY
It didn't have any ghosts in it and it wasn't scary. It is just some lame old story my Grandfather told me.
CODY FUR
You can rest assure it wasn’t lame the kids have been going around all morning talking about it.
JOHNY
I really didn't think it was that good.
The camp director looks down at his desk and sighs.
CODY FUR
Did you happen to mention anything to the kids about...
The camp director acts embarrassed as he point down at his crotch.
JOHNY
What? Your dick
CODY FUR
No!
JOHNY
Your balls your asshole! What man?
CODY FUR
It starts with a “t”.
JOHNY
Taint.
Camp director nods.
JOHNY
What’s wrong with the taint?
The camp directors gasps.
CODY FUR
You will watch your mouth here. This is a Christian camp son of a bitch.
JOHNY
It’s not a genital or even a curse word. It’s just a strip of skin. I did’nt even tell them about it. Chuck was the one who knew what it was. He told the cabin.
CODY FUR
Don’t do that Johny. Don’t blame it on a child. Take responsibility.
JOHNY
(sincere)Sorry Cody.
CODY FUR
Listen Johny. The kids like your stories, just try to keep them PG rated.
EXT. BOTTOM OF THE C-DOME- MORNING
LOR LODGE- NIGHT
Robby and Bam are entranced in a game of foosball. Bam is by the superior of the two. Playing the sticks like a seasoned veteran all the while gloating about his skills.
BAM
You see that last shot? Of course you didn’t! ‘Cuz it went straight to the back of the net.
Counselors witnessing the thrilling match are feeding Bam’s competitive nature with their cheers and applause. At one point Bam holds the ball with one of his players, turns his head towards Robby and grins, just before sending the game winning into the goal with a devastating spin shot.
ROBBY
Hey! Spin shots aren’t allowed, you of all people should know that!
BAM
Well, when you’re up by 15 does it even matter anymore?
ROBBY
BAM have you ever lost at this?
BAM
Not for the last three years. Don’t feel bad just consider it another notch on my belt.
Johny walks up to the tournament foose ball table.
JOHNY
Mind if I get in on the game?
BAM
Brotha you do have to ask to get ass whooped.
BAM laughs sarcastically and over the top. Johny just smiles as he grips the handles to his miniature soccer team. Bam holds the ball in the air and waves it from side to side.
BAM
Just try to keep your eyes on the ball.
Johny begins a game against Bam. Much to the surprise of Bam, Johny possesses strategy and technique that demonstrate he’s no rookie slouch.
BAM
(nervously)I thought you’d never played before?
JOHNY
(focused on game) I never said that. You must have just remembered your trash talking earlier.
As the game progresses, as well as Johny’s lead, the group within the lodge, sensing an upset, begins to lean heavily on Johny’s side.
BAM
I’m getting pretty sick of this damn beginner’s luck.
Bam spins the handle. Crystal walks through the front door.
JOHNY
I thought no spins allowed.
Crystal starts approaching the table and BAM immediately looks her dead in the eyes.
BAM
(with forced enthusiasm) Hey! I didn't know you had Thursdays off.
CRYSTAL
I switched with April a week ago.
Crystal looks at Johny and he returns the glance. BAM wipes the sweat from his forehead and flings it on the tournament foose ball table.
BAM
No spins are legal. Just don’t shake the table.
Johny looks up for a moment and shakes his head. At the same time, Bam scores only his first goal of the game and lets out an emphatic roar.
BAM
BAM BABY! Back in business! What is the score I lost track.
ROBBY
Damn Bam I think its like ten to one.
BAM
What the fuck do you know Robby I spanked your ass.
ROBBY
Dude just chill.
BAM
Serve the Ball! (under his breathe) I am chill.
Johny score five more quick shots.
BAM
The table is leaning.
JOHNY
Do you want to switch sides.
BAM
Yeah, I usually play on that side anyway.
The two switch sides and Bam catches Crystal checking out Johny’s ass. Johny’s eyes then meet Crystals.
Johny tosses the ball to Bam game point. Bam scowls at Johny
BAM
Best two out of three?
JOHNY
I don’t think a want to play any more.
Bam throws the ball in the center of the table and Johny rapidly scores then walks over to Crystal and the two walk out of the lodge together.
BAM
Son of a bitch!
Robby walks up to Bam and puts his hand on Bam’s shoulder.
ROBBY
It’s cool dude everyone loses.
BAM
I’m always the winner
ROBBY
Ok. You lost your edge when Crystal walked in.
BAM
He said it was his first time.
ROBBY
He played as if was born on that table.
BAM
Bullshit! He was obviously a hustler. His mother probably trained him. Lucky him
Bam looks directly at Robby.
BAM
I was born an orphan.
ROBBY
What? Everybody loses once in a while Bam you have to get over it man. Look I got something that can help you take the edge off. I just don’t want to get in trouble for helping you out.
BAM
(relieved by Robby’s concern) I won’t get you in trouble.
ROBBY
Take two of these and wait an hour. Tell me how your feeling then.
Robby hands a prescription bottle to Bam. Bam opens it up and pours four into his hand then downs them and chases the pills with soda.
INT. CABIN- NIGHT
Bam is laying in bed when the cabin door swings open. The kids start to chatter back and forth
LITTLE RAPHEAL
Johny’s back.
The kids start to wake each other up with fart noises. Bam pretends to snore.
JOHNY
Alright guys knock it off Bam’s trying to sleep.
While laying in bed, Bam replays the humiliation of losing in his head. It’s just at this moment that Bam, reality, and the pills are all beginning to interact. Bam jumps out of bed and begins to rant.
BAM
You clearly cheated and then you go and take her too?
JOHNY
Come on Bam the kids don’t need to see you act like this.
All the kids are sitting straight up in their beds watching Bam and Johny
BAM
Go back to bed!
LITTLE RAPHEAL
How was it Johny? Did you get laid.
BAM
Give me a token and get your loud filthy mouth out of this cabin.
BAM
You’re not gonna come in here and mess it up for me. You’re just another newbie that’ll last only one summer.
JOHNY
I didn't know Crystal was spoken for.
BAM
Well she is and everyone knows we have been a couple for the past three years.
Bam is now standing over Johny’s bunk and becoming more agitated.
JOHNY
Why don’t we just turn in for the night? It’s been a long day today and we have another one set in store for tomorrow.
BAM
Why do you think it’s that easy? You just think you’re gonna smooth it all over like usual. Your so cool Johny.
JOHNY
Bam, I don’t know where you’re going with this but you need to try and relax.
BAM
DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!
JOHNY
Calm down Bam. No one needs to end up getting hurt over who knows what.
BAM
You’re the only one that’s gonna get hurt, Johny!
As Bam attempts to pounce on Johny, Johny realizes Bam is serious. He springs out of bed and tries to assess the situation.
Johny walks out of the cabin. The kids run up to the window.
BAM
Of course you’re gonna run away!
JOHNY
Whats going on man.
BAM
I loved her. She wasn’t just some piece of ass to me. You give a woman your heart and she takes your manhood. You two whores can die and go to heel then suffocate for eternity on pot fumes.
JOHNY
What?
BAM
Don’t play dumb. I know what you did. Enticing Crystal with your devil’s hydro spinach.
JOHNY
What are you talking about?
BAM
I know you and Crystal to make out by the lake last night. Then I saw you guys smoking and it sure did’nt look like a cigarette.
JOHNY
You know what, I’m gone because you obviously have no grip over your emotions at the moment.
EXT. CABIN- NIGHT
The cabin door swings open. Little Raphael is standing beside Johny. Johny’s back is to the cabin door. Bam puts his arm around Johny’s neck in an attempt to choke him out. Johny struggles for air and little Raphael throws a rock at Bam’s head. The kids evacuate the cabin to witness the fight from the outside.
BAM
Your going to regret taking my girlfriend.
LITTLE RAPHEAL
She never even liked you.
Bam grits his teeth. Johny then manages to take Bam’s pinky finger and twists it back causing Bam to let go of his choke hold and scream. Johny uses the opportunity to twist back Bam’s arm as well as fling Bam’s face to the ground.
BAM
Don’t break it.
JOHNY
I don’t want to hurt you but your making it hard for me
LITTLE RAPHEAL
Make him pay Johny!
JOHNY
Get everybody back in the cabin.
BAM
Get him off of me!
The I boy counselors run out of their cabins and up to Johny pulling him off of Bam.
LIL RALPHEAL
Johny!
JOHNY
It’s ok guys.
All the children watch from an open cabin door.
BAM
Go back to bed.
INT. CODY’S OFFICE- MORNING
Cody and Blue are standing in front of Bam. Bam is sitting in a chair looking up at them with a huge swollen black eye.
CODY
Now son just tell us what happened.
BAM
He came in late making alot of noise and I was just trying to get him to be quite so the kids would fall asleep. I asked him to step outside and when I went to go talk to him he threw me down then slammed my face in the ground.
Bam’s face starts to quiver.
BAM
Then he called me a wet back.
CODY
What?
BAM
He said “I’m going to kick your ass your fucking wet back.”
Bam starts to cry.
MRS. FUR
Bam You were born in the United States. You know that’s not true.
Cody looks to his wife with a look of complete disgust.
CODY
Now honey I think Johny may be a racist.
Bam continues to play like he is on the brink of crying.
CODY
Honey, I knew when Johny didn’t want to participate on salvation day that something was wrong with him.
Bam touches Cody on the shoulder.
BAM
There is something I have been keeping a secret from you for the entire summer Cody.
CODY
Bam you know not to keep secrets from me, especially not at your job where kids lives may be at risk.
BAM
I swear it doesn't hurt the kids.
MRS. FUR
Bam what is it?
BAM
I saw Johny smoking weed with one of the junior counselors.
CODY
Oh my god.
MRS. FUR
Which junior counselor?
BAM
Dan.
Mrs. Fur lets out a deep breath.
MRS. FUR
How could you not tell us?
CODY
Why did you keep that a secret?!
BAM
I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
Bam looks down at the ground and innocently shakes his head.
MRS. FUR
Bam you were wrong.
CODY
And you could have been dead wrong buddy!
Cody looks at his wife.
CODY
Imagine him high off his ass on the lifeguard stand.
Cody looks at Bam.
MRS. FUR
It’s ok, we forgive you.
CODY
I don’t know what to say. I am so disappointed in you for not coming to us about this sooner.
BAM
At first it was just him, when he went for his morning jog.
CODY
All this time I thought he was marathon training.
BAM
Just last week after the rodeo I saw a copperhead snake by the blob so I went to the rifle range to grab a 22. I caught Johny, Dan and Crystal at the rifle range they were all getting high.
MRS. FUR
Are you sure they were smoking weed and not some kind of cigarette?
BAM
It smelled really bad. Like a skunk.
Cody and his wife are shocked.
MRS. FUR
Now Bam,you have to be absolutely certain that what you saw was marijuana. Do you understand?
BAM
I’m positive, it was green and it had crystals. (Bam looks puzzled)
MRS. FUR
Crystals, You were close to the weed.
Well I did notice Crystal running the other morning.
CODY
Well there is only one thing we have to do about this. We are going to have to call Bill.
Mrs. Fur covers her mouth in shock.
MRS. FUR
Honey, you can’t! He’ll arrest them. It will be in the news.
CODY
Fine. I’ll handle it tomorrow morning.
Cody looks at Bam.
BAM
Go back to the cabin and make sure those kids are safe. No telling how high he could be right now.
EXT. CAMP COUNSELOR PARKING- MORNING
Johny is jogging up to the entrance when he suddenly stops dead in his tracks.
There are two German shepherds and Sheriff Bill standing beside Johny’s Sports car. The driver side window has been smashed and there are scratch marks on the door.
SHERIFF BILL
Good morning son.
JOHNY
Did somebody break into my car?
SHERIFF BILL
I did.
As Johny approaches his car he notices that his pipe and a bag of weed is laid out on the hood of the car.
SHERIFF BILL
(clearing his throat) This is some pretty good stuff you got here Johny. Must have cost you alot of money but, not half as much as a lawyer would cost to get this off your record.
Johny looks at Blue who walks out of the woods with Cody Fur.
CODY FUR
Just when I think I can trust a person. (screaming)Johny what you are doing is a serious crime! Not to mention what your mother or your grandmother would think of you if they knew what you were doing.
BLUE
Your a filthy mouth you sorry sac of shit. Look some of these kids probably know everything there is about sex including; oral, anal, masturbation (in low voice) vaginal but, I’ll be god damned if I hear innocent children mumbling the word marijuana, or the phrase “getting high”! Pack your shit you are going home.
Cody picks up the pipe off the hood. Bam Just stares at it innocently.
BAM
We are all really disapointed in you Johny.
CODY FUR
I thought you were better than this. It’s a shame. A shame this camp doesn't need. I don’t think your family need to know about this. That is the soul reason you not in jail right now, because of me.
JOHNY
I think you are blowing this a little out of proportion here.
BLUE
Oh wwe are blowing it. Shut your filthy mouth you sorry sac of shit.
Blue charges at Johny but the Sheriff pulls him back.
BLUE
Your going to have to look at these kids who have never done any of that and are perfectly fine. Look some of these kids probably know everything there is about sex including; oral, anal, masturbation (in low voice) vaginal but, I’ll be god damned if I hear innocent children mumbling the word marijuana. Pack your shit you are going home. How dare you lie to me Johny. How dare you.
A shocked look runs across Johny’s face.
JOHNY
I have to perform at the talent show tonight. The children are in my act and will be lost without me. I can’t let them down.
BLUE
Don’t bring the kids in this you peice of shit
CODY FUR
Did you not hear me? You are fucking fired.
Johny just stares at the group of men.
CODY FUR
Well, What do you have to say for yourself Johny?
SHERIFF BILL
Speak up son.
JOHNY
I reckon I’ll get going.
SHERIFF BILL
Your pitiful boy. Hopefully you learn from this chance I’m giving you and get your life together.
CODY FUR
If the kids ask were you are going just tell them your driving to Houston to pick up boat parts. One more thing apologize to Bam for the black eye.
JOHNY
Sorry Bam. Next time I’ll get the other one.
SHERIFF BILL
Don’t try and come back here now son. You get going and stay gone.
Johny opens the car door and sits down on broken glass. Cody bends down and looks at Johny through the broken window.
CODY FUR
You got fifteen minutes to get your stuff and get out of here.
INT. I BOY CABIN- DAY
Johny turns and walks away. He opens the cabin door and there is another counselor in there talking to the children. As Johny opens the door the faces of the children light up. Johny hangs his head as he walks into the cabin.
CHUCK
What’s wrong?
Johny looks at the other counselor then at the child.
JOHNY
I got fired.
CHUCK
What the fuck? That’s bullshit. So that means you are not our counselor anymore.
JOEY
They can’t.
JOHNY
They can and they did. I’ll be seeing you guys.
Johny grabs his bags and heads out the door. Little Ralpheal runs out to catch up with Johny.
Little Ralpheal runs up and hugs Johny.
JOHNY
It’s cool little buddy just hear the music in your head and you will be fine.
Johny jumps in his car and peels out. As he flys over the speed Bumbs Tony Sprinter waves at him confused by Johny’s traveling out of the camp so quickly.speed.
INT. I BOY CABIN- DAY
The bright orange sun has just peaked over the Lake. The cabin is still asleep with the exception of Johny who is outside stretching.
Johny rolls his shoulders back and starts off for his morning run.
BAM has the attention of a cabin full of twelve year old boys.
BAM
Listen guys when I wake up in the morning I say to myself, I’m going to show this day the respect that it deserves. So lets go out there and kick some Athenian butt.
The kids in red start to cheer as the kids in Blue start to boo.
BAM
Alright guys lets keep up the enthusiasm. Today is going to be great.
Bam looks up and sees that a kid is still curled up asleep in his sleeping bag.
BAM
Who is that still asleep in the bunk.
Marcus looks over at Bam through his thick glasses.
MARCUS
I believe that is Ralph.
BAM
Now come Ralph you know it’s time to get up.
Johny steps through the door trying to avoid eye contact with anyone.
BAM
Johny! Ralph here doesn’t want to get.
They are reluctant.
BAM
I’m going to give him one more minute to sleep and if he isn’t up by the end of that one minute, starting now, then I will take a D.
LIL RALPHEAL
If johny was here he wouldn’t care.
BAM
Well, Johny is not here.
EXT. CAMP CHICKINAWA TALENT SHOW- NIGHT
The children are all are all sitting with their respective cabins watching the talent show take place on the stage in front of them.
Little Ralpheal then spots Johny motioning for him to get the other children’s attention. Little Ralpeal whispers a word which is immediately passed down the cabin line.
BAM’s solo is interrupted by Johny who walks out on to the stage with the applause of all the children
JOHNY
Sorry Bam but my cabin has a performance to do.
Charles lowers the volume to Bam mic and at the same time raises Johny’s volume.
JOHNY
This is the part of the show were I would normally perform. Well this year I was told I can’t so I’m going to do my kind of music with help from I boy’s cabin 9.
A hard core rap beats begins to play as Johny walks out onto the stage. The kids from his cabin run up to join him. The rest of the camp watches on with anticipation as little Rafael grabs the microphone.

EXT. LAKE LIVING- NIGHT
Bam pulls out several pills from a bottle in his pocket and takes everyone of them.
He is on the Lake just sitting in the boat looking at the moon reflecting off the water when he begins to cry.
Bam then looks at the blob floating on the calm water. Bam turn the boat on and gives gas to the engine and starts speeding away from the lake shore.
Bam turns around in the middle of the lake. He looks intensely at the blob in the distance then begins to speed toward it. Bam screams as the boat bounces off the water at a high speed.
Bam rapidly approaches the blob then hits it launching the boat high into the air. The boat flies over the shore and into a tree then explodes.
INT. CABIN- NIGHT
Kids wake up in the cabin to a loud thunderous crash. They look out the window at a glowing fire coming from by the lake shore.
KEVIN
Stay in your bunks I’ll be right back.
Kevin runs out of the cabin towards the fire. As he approaches the scene of the wreck He sees Tony Sprint toward the truck. Bam crawls against a pine tree and looks up at Kevin with a bloody face.
KEVIN
Bam! Are you alright?
