He flies down a hill deer scatter on the tenth hole of a majestic course.

BAM

For you golfers out there Chickinawa Pines is ranked the number one course in all of texas. Why is it named whispering pines? Becuase legen has it the first Native American tribe to convert to christianity lived here. In this valley.

EXT. (DALLAS, TEXAS) SMU CAMPUS PARKING - DAY

Southern methodist university sits on a hill overlooking the city of Dallas.

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

I do and he’s baking something good.

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.

KARL

Everybody will be there. You know it’s practically impossible to Ace Roland’s final exam. You owe yourself a drink for putting up with his shit all year. Come on, one beer Johny!

INT. LIZZY’S SISTER’S ROOM- LATE MORNING

The Alarm Clock reads eight fifteen. Johny wipes his eyes then squints at the alarm clock.

JOHNY

Fuck! I’m late.

Johny knocks over a beer bottle as he stumbles out of his bed holding his head.

HEATHER

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. COUNTRY ROAD- MORNING

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

Copy that.

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

Camp Chickinawa.

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 Camp Chickanwa counselors jump in the air and swing their arms with excitement.

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 camp C name is BAM! Can I hop in?

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 Lake Living.

BAM

These are the I boy cabins. The I stands for intermediate. That’s ages nine to twelve.

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 America to pray about sending thier children to Chickinawa. They ask themselves in their heart if they are completely ready to give their child the greatest summer of their life, and you know what?

Blue looks wide eyed and intensely 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

Camp C baby! Get ready!

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?

BAM

Heads.

Blue tosses the coin in the air and watches it land by his foot.

BLUE

Heads it is.

BAM

We’ll take the ball first.

Bam looks at Johny seriously.

BAM

Good luck Johny.

Bam starts to run down to the opposite end of the field.

BAM

Souix lets rock and roll.

BLUE

Apache lets huddle up.

Johny and the other guys in the Apache team gather around Blue who is sweating up a storm despite the fact they haven't started the game. Blue takes a knee with the frisbee in his hand.

BLUE

Ok guys we are kicking off I want everyone to run down field and cover who ever has the frisbee. Watch for fake hand off’s and laterals.

JOHNY

What’s the cover formation.

BLUE

Just go after Bam. He likes to run these back to house.

Blue gets off his knee. Bam is stretching his legs with anticipation.

BLUE

Remember guys it’s just a game so lets have fun but, don’t over due yourself.

The Apache huddle breaks and the Apache line up for kick off.

BLUE

Ok here we go!

EXT. TOP OF THE C-DOME

Cody and Tony stand over looking down onto the field as the game is taking place. Cody pulls out a pair of binoculars and watches the game.

EXT. SOCCER FIELD- DAY

Blue cranks back the frisbee and lets it loose flinging it high in the air. Johny takes off down Field.

Bam jumps in front of his team mate and grabs the frisbee and starts running with it like a NFL pro.

BAM

Spin move.

Bam escapes the grasp of an Apache.

BAM

(to himself) Dig Baby!

Bam starts high stepping toward Johny. Who breaks down right before Bam get to him. Bam tries to juKe Johny but falls over his own feet.

Johny bends down to grab Bam’s flag. Bam rolls over and tries to crawl away from Johny. As he crawls away Johny grabs his flags.

Bam keeps running.

JOHNY

Your down here.

Bam looks down at the ground where he fell and steps.

BAM

It’s uneven here. Guys watch out nobody twist you ankle in this ditch.

Kevin walks over to where Bam tripped and looks at the ground.

KEVIN

There is no hole.

BAM

Lets huddle up!

The Souix huddle up around Bam.

BAM

Alright guys I’m starting all time quarterback. I got a lot of accuracy with this thing so be on point.

Bam begins to draw receiver routes on his open palm.

BAM

You two run a fly.

KEVIN

What’s a fly.

BAM

All the way to the ozone.

Bam Looks at Kevin, a skinny red head with light skin and freckles.

BAM

Kevin you run a hook. That’s five steps and turn around. Ready...

SOUIX TEAM

Break!

The Souix team approaches the line of scrimmage and Bam throws his hands under the centers rear. He pretends to be taking a snap.

BAM

On two. Ready set hit, hit!

Bam pulls back and searches for open receivers. Johny is covering an Athenian on a fly route.

BAM

Three one thousand!

Bam takes off running. He dodges several Apache as Johny takes an angle of pursuit on Bam. Bam Looks at Johny then runs straight into an Apache.

APACHE

Damn dude take it easy. We’re not playing tackle.

KEVIN

Bam your nose is bleeding worse.

BAM

Roof! I don’t give a darn. Huddle up!

Bam trots backward facing the Apache team with blood running down his nose.

BAM

Let’s do this.

Cody Fur and Tony Sprint walk down from the C-Dome and Start to observe the Male Counselors play.

CODY FUR

I think we got some real energetic kids. It’s going to be fun to see how the kids react to the new guys.

TONY

Johny is a pretty athletic guy. The way his grandmother described him I was expecting a bookworm.

Bam cranks back the frisbee and sends it toward a down field receiver.

BAM

Catch it. Catch it. Catch it!

Johny watches the pass carefully and leaps for the frisbee as it makes it’s decent.

BAM

No!

Johny intercepts the pass and is immediately downed by a Souix player.

BAM

Kevin that was your pass. I thought you were going to dive for it. It’s cool guys We’re still in the game.

KEVIN

Bam can I play QB next down.

Bam Psychotically laughs.

BAM

Buddy I need you as a receiver. Maybe after half time.

KEVIN

I could do a good job I just need a chance to prove myself.

Bam turns around and points at Kevin.

KEVIN

Please just give me a

chance to throw it once.

Bam walks up to Kevin and whispers in his ear.

BAM

Just run your route and I’ll put this puppy right in your hands.

Bam walks up to the line of scrimmage and pretends to slide his hands under a centers butt.

BAM

Set, Hut! Hut!

Bam backs up in the pocket looking for receivers.

BAM

Three one thousand.

Bam takes off running down the field. He dodges two Apache would be tacklers.

BAM

He could go.

He then runs behind Kevin using his body as a shield he pushes on Kevin’s back sending him flying face first at Johny’s knees.

JOHNY

Whoa!

Johny jumps over Kevin then rolls out of bounds.

KEVIN

Dude why did you pushed me.

BAM

Somebody pushed me into you come on your on my team bro! Your block got us another touchdown.

Bam slaps Kevin on his ass.

KEVIN

It’s cool.

Johny brushes the leaves off his shoulders and points at Bam.

BAM

Lets do this.

JOHNY

I got you next time.

BAM

There won’t be a next time I’m fast as shit.

Bam jutes his head side to side then does a spin move back to the huddle.

BAM

Ok, we are going for the T. D. this time. I’m going to play it like I see it and just star throwing bombs at the farthest man open ready Break.

Bam leaves the huddle and the rest of his guys disperse to the line of scrimmage.

BAM

Down Set Hut!

Bam draws back into the pocket Johny follows the tallest receiver to the end zone.

BAM

Oh!

Bam decides to tuck the ball and run. He dodges several players as Johny draws back down the field after him.

BAM

Bamzzy Turn!

Bam shakes off another would be tackler as Johny slowly takes his angle toward Bam. Bam balances just enough to juke Johny but, rolls his ankle trying to avoid him.

BAM

Shit!

Bam screams and lets everyone around him here his pain for a minute.

BAM

Oh! God! Ah! I’m hurt. I think it’s broken.

Bam tries to scoot on his ass to the side line when two team mates help him.

BAM

Don’t fucking touch me! I’m fine it don’t hurt.

Bam doesn't move for a second then puts his face in the dirt and screams.

BAM

You can do it. Just get up Bam.

JOHNY

Let me help you.

BAM

Don’t touch me.

JOHNY

Easy man it’s not my fualt.

BAM

JOHNY

Bam hobbles up.

BAM

Whatever.

KEVIN

Are you ok Bam?

BAM

I’ll be fine. Pain don’t hurt. Let’s crank it up on them guys. I want to win this.

Bam runs another quarter back sneak and scores a touch down. He spins the frisbee on his hand

BAM

Alright guys lets kick off.

The Souix line up and Bam proceeds to chunk the frisbee as far as it will go until it floats down and hovers over one of the Apache counselors.

APACHE

Got it.

Bam is headed full steam down hill toward the guy with the frisbee.

Bam flies by the Apache with the frisbee and yanks off the flag belt from around the guys waist.

BAM

Your down. Alright guys lets take it from them.

The Apache team lines up. Bam jumps at the line in an attempt to draw someone off sides.

The quater back steps into the pocket as his team flies off the line to get open. Looking around he throws the frisbee to Johny.

JOHNY

Got it.

Johny catches the frisbee and proceeds to run with it. Bam runs by Johny but, instead of going for the flags around his wait he sticks out his leg to trip him.

JOHNY

Ah!

BAM

Ow! Shit.

Johny’s leg collides right into Bam’s. Bam falls to the ground limp and grabs his leg in agony.

BAM

What did you do that for.

JOHNY

You stuck your leg out.

BAM

No I didn't! You did it on purpose.

Bam screams in agony.

JOHNY

I didn't mean to it was an accident.

Cody and Tony come running down from the C-Dome.

TONY

Give him some room.

All the guys make a clearing for Tony and Cody to run through.

TONY

Just be still Bam.

Bam continues to wraith with pain pulling out hand fulls of grass from the Field.

CODY FUR

What did you do to him Johny?

JOHNY

His leg hit my leg. It was an accident.

BAM

You broke my leg.

JOHNY

I’m sorry.

BAM

CODY FUR

Bam’s eye’s tear up and Cody grabs his hand.

CODY FUR

I know it hurts squeeze my hand brother.

Cody looks over at Johny with uncertainty.

TONY

Alright guys game over. Just go back to the cabins and rest up fro dinner.

The guys disperse and head off the field.

TONY

Johny come here.

Johny walks over to Tony who is standing on the side line.

JOHNY

I didn't mean to hurt him.

TONY

It’s ok. It’s a sport, sometimes there are injuries. He will be fine.

JOHNY

I am sorry Bam.

Bam does not acknowledge Johny’s words.

TONY

We know you are. Go rest up for dinner.

An ambulance dives on the soccer field and the paramedics load Bam on a gurney and into the back of the ambulance.

INT. CAFETERIA- LATER THAT DAY

ROBBY

No vegetables no zucchinis.

QUINTIN

Plenty of chicken.

Quitin is a nerdy I- boys counselor that resembles Steve Urkel.

BLUE

Quintin steps in front of Blue as if to suggest no cutting past me.

BLUE

QUINTIN

You can wait like the rest of us.

BLUE

Quintn has a look of I dont care on his face.

BLUE

Blue puts his sweaty armpit in Quintin’s face and swims over him.

QUINTIN

I’m suddenly not hungry anymore.

ROBBY

I bet you want to kick his ass.

QUINTIN

I’d rather sit back and watch him choke on a chicken bone.

Blue sits down with the other senior counselors and begins to inhale his food.

Johny walks in through the cafeteria doors and and several girls turn their heads to see him walk.

ROBIN

There he is.

APRIL

I heard he’s like musician or actor something like that.

CRYSTAL

Johny grabs a banana and sits down at a table by himself.

Crystal grabs a banana and sits next to Johny.

CRYSTAL

CRYSTAL

JOHNY

Thanks you do too.

CRYSTAL

Well, I just wanted you to know I run in the mornings so If you ever want to go on a jog just let me know.

Crystal just smiles at Johny and seems to be hypnotized by his good looks.

CRYSTAL

My legs are pretty sore now but, it feels so good.

JOHNY

CRYSTAL

Cool. So what kind of music do you listen to.

Blue clears his throat and opens the letter holding in the air he takes out a monocle and holds it up to his eye.

BLUE

Blue begins to laughs and tries to keep a straight face.

ROBBY

Crystal walks up on to the table were Blue is standing.

ROBBY

Crystal smiles and gets up on a the table.

BLUE

Crystals turns around and shakes her behind like a tale.

BLUE

You know how to do it.

The entire cafeteria is singing the song so Johny decides to join in.

JOHNY

Grey squirrel shake your bushy tale.

ROBBY

Shake that bushy tail.

Crystal blushes as she climbs down from the top of the table.

ROBBY

SO I saw that leg break. Pretty brutal. He did stick his leg out to trip you.

JOHNY

He should have worn a shin guard.

BLUE

Blue looks at Johny.

Everyone begins to eat. Robby leans over to Johny.

ROBBY

Dude Crystal was really checking you out. First you break his leg then his heart.

JOHNY

ROBBY

Crystal has been Bam’s crush since they were ten. They go to the dance together every year with salt comes lime my friend.

JOHNY

She’s a girl not someone’s property.

ROBBY

Don’t get me wrong buddy I tried to get in those panties plenty of times.

ROBBY

It’s like every year she keeps this hope alive for people like Bam who want to be the first to fuck. It’s a combination of prudeness and downsyndrome.

Johny looks at Bam.

ROBBY

Bam you kjnow he’s got a trace of it. That retard look were your eyes are a little to spread out on your head.

ROBBY

They say his mom was a crack whore.

JOHNY

Yeah he mentioned that to me.

ROBBY

Johny stops eating.

JOHNY

He will have to understand. If she’s not with him then there should’nt be a problem.

ROBBY

The guy sales promo video well. I guess little kids like the idea of a mental counselor.

INT. LITTLE RAFEAL’S ROOM- DAY

Rafeal has everything packed and in a large trunk like chest. His mother walks in the room.

From down stairs a voice blasts through the house.

Little Rafael runs to the window and watches his father enter a sheriff car.

LIL RALPHEAL

JOHNY

BAM

Johny turns off the light then crawls into his sleeping back. Bam starts to snore then stops.

BAM

Hopefully we can channel each others dreams tonight so I can see what your dream. That’s why I wear a purple quartz necklace, it enhances lucid dreams.

JOHNY

Well, I don’t remember my dreams.

BAM

Yeah you do. If you think about them when you first wake up. I believe I can altar my reality through my dreams.

JOHNY

You make it sound easy.

BAM

Anything is possible over time. Sometimes I just see things and I know it is the future like I’m having a vision or God is speaking to me. He tells me anything is possible.

Johny starts to laugh.

BAM

It’s not funny it’s true.

JOHNY

I’m going to sleep.

BAM

Did you say your prayers.

JOHNY

Good night Bam.

EXT. ROAD TO C-DOME- DAY

A long line of cars full of parents and eager children enter the camp grounds. Bam and Blue are directing the cars to a stop. Bam approaches the window of an old minivan.

BAM

Hey buddy, what cabin you in?

The boy looks at Bam but, doesn't say a word.

BOY’S FATHER

He’s in cabin five.

BAM

Awesome that means your going to be with me and Johny this summer.

Bam looks over at Johny.

BAM

Johny show these guys were cabin five is!

Johny jogs over to the van and opens the door. As Johny opens the door it makes a squeaking sound.

BEN’S FATHER

Don’t open the door all the way. It comes off the hinge sometimes. Benjamin shut the door.

JOHNY

It’s ok I got it.

Ben a scrawny twelve year old boy with brown hair runs out of the van and slams the door shut for Johny. Ben’s father spits tobacco juice into a beer can sitting in a cup holder.

BEN’S FATHER

Ben’s real excited about getting to water ski this summer. He’s been ready to get out of the house.

JOHNY

You got a water ski class? Thats great Im teaching a water ski class. I bet our going to be im=n my class. Have you ever skied before.

Ben shakes his head.

JOHNY

Well, I bet it will only take you a couple tries before your gliding across that water like a pro.

BEN

Really?

JOHNY

Oh yeah bro.

Ben’s dad turns and looks at Johny.

BEN’S FATHER

Ben is kinda slow it may take him longer than the other kids.

INT. CABIN- EARLY MORNING 5:00 AM

There is a loud smashing. The children watch as Lil’ Raphael falls out of the top bunk.

BAM

What the hell? Ralpeal get in your bunk.

Raphael begins to cry. Bam looks at his watch.

BAM

It’s five in the morning Ralphael go back to bed.

Ralpheal walks up to Bam’s bed. Bam rolls over trying to avoid him.

RALPHEAL

I had I bad dream.

BAM

Well your keeping me up so go back to bed.

Ralpheal walks up to Johny’s Bunk.

RALPHEAL

Johny wake up.

Johny is snoring lightly. Ralpheal pushes him. Johny mumbles.

JOHNY

RALPHEAL

I had a bad dream.

Johny raises up in his bunk.

RALPHEAL

Johny what do you dream about?

JOHNY

Usually girls. Just think of a girl you like.

RALPHEAL

There is one I kind of like.

JOHNY

Well, picture her.

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

RALPHEAL

Were are you going?

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 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

Kevin pulls out his hidden can of chewing tabacco out.

KID 1

Faster!

Kid bounces off the wave

BAM

Give it more juice Kevin.

Kevin acts dizzy from his dip and swings the boat on a hard left.

BAM

Shit! Go back we lost him.

Bam spits out his dip and starts to throw up.

KID 2

I think he’s hurt.

KEVIN

Heading back.

The kids nose bleeds uncontrollably.

KEVIN

Shit grab the first aid kit.

BAM

Got it.

They stuff his nose with cotton.

KEVIN

Bam still sick from the dip.

BAM

The kid shakes his head.

KEVIN

He better not.

BAM

Yeah your good its not broken just a little blood.

KID 3

I think he needs a nurse.

BAM

He fine don’t be a baby.

KEVIN

Don’t make me take some of your feathers.

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. TONY’S OFFICE- DAY

Johny sits infront of Tony’s desk and lifts his head.

TONY

I want you to know Johny what you did was heroic and showed alot of courage. You got some real character son.

JOHNY

Thank you.

TONY

You go ahead and ake the rest of the day off.

EXT. LAKE LIVING- DAY

Johny is sitting on a canoe with a lifeguard float across his lap. Little Raphael walks up behind him and sits on the other side of the canoe.

JOHNY

What’s up squirt?

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.

EXT. KITCHEN PARKING- NIGHT

Johny passes the front of the O-dome and a few counselors

An “Odsmobile Cutlus Supreme” approaches the designated kitchen staff parking lot.

BIG MIKE

Sup pimping.

Ricky Pulls up in his truck with the base pumping. He points at Johny and Johny points back.

JOHNY

Nothing much man. You ready for the freestyle lesson later.

Big Mike laughs.

BIG MIKE

Your going to get on the mike later. Ain’t you off tonight.

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..77

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

Cody fur addresses the counselors.

CODY FUR

Now you guys really got to learn how to keep on the brakes around these kids. black bracelettes are banned. Playing rap music unless it is ok by my wife or me just don’t play it. Guys I’m not stupid and it really feels like lately we have had some people testing the boundries. Don’t forget who’s in chan=rge and don’t forget your here for the kids and think of their future next time you think about projecting christ on them.

BAM

I’ve noticed some of the junior counselors sneeking sugar drinks from the cafeteria out of the eating hours.

CODY FUR

Good point Bam. That’s another thing the cafeteria is off limits to unauthorized staff. So unless your a cook or a dishwasher I don’t want to see you in their.

Bam Looks over at Johny.

CODY FUR

Zack did you have something that you wanted to say.

ZACK

Yeah the other day. I witness a counselor, I’m not going to say who..

Looks at Johny.

ZACK

Doing a gainer trick of the dive stand. He was doing it as a show off and at the same time nearly killed himself. When I tried to reprimand him. He cursed me infront my entire cabin.

CODY FUR

Guys the dive stand is off limits during off hours come on you know that. I don’t know why everyone starts gettin a problem now. We have only two weeks left for the summer and this is not looking like the camp chickinawa I was sure we had at the begining of the summer.

ZACK

I think it’s a lack of focus.

CODY

Well guys lets get to the games. Cheer your team on and then get your kids ready for the talent show. Remember goings I don’t want to see anything too funny. Let’s stick to the script. I don’t want to see any surprises.

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
