(School bell ringing)

All right, we’re done!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa, girl, settle down.

I can’t help it.

It felt so good handing our

science projects in.

Tell me about it!

Hey, it’s a long weekend

coming up, and I plan to do

absolutely nothing for three

whole days.

Well, you do plan to come to

the gig tonight.

Are you kidding?

That’s when the fun officially

begins!

I can hardly wait to hear their

new song!

Oh, you mean the one you

helped write?

Well, it was mostly Alden,

but I guess I helped a little.

Hey, Elkford!

You ready to rock?

(Cheering)

GIRL: I love you!

We’d like to start with a

brand-new song, dedicated to a

very special person, our

assistant manager Sharon Spitz!

(Cheering)

♪ Every day it’s the same

old story ♪

♪ It’s always one thing

or another ♪

SHARON: That was awesome, you

guys.

Thanks, we really rehearsed

a lot.

That why you didn’t get your

science project in on time?

(Sighing)

Yeah, I got an extension

until Monday.

Oh, no!

You have to work on the weekend?

Yeah, up at his cottage.

Boo-hoo!

Hey, that’s how I got the

extension.

I’m classifying plants.

Mr. Malamed thinks I’ll find

lots of neat foliage up north.

Cottages are so romantic!

Hey, why don’t you come?

All of you!

Really?

Sure, my sisters will be

there, and Marlo.

I’ll be kind of busy with the

plants and stuff.

That’s okay, we could help

you!

Not to mention have some

serious fun!

(Giggling) You don’t have to

twist my arm!

Me either!

This’ll be amazing, Alden!

Can I see you for a minute?

Got a sec?

Sure.

Whoa, ugh!

We have a problem.

With the band?

No, with Marlo.

She doesn’t want Sharon coming

to the cottage.

Why not?

I don’t know.

She’s been touchy lately.

Thinks we’re not spending enough

quality time together, and I

think she’s a bit ticked about

me dedicating the song to

Sharon.

But Sharon helped write it!

I know.

It’s probably just ’cause Sharon

and I used to go out.

Oh!

Well, then maybe Brock and I

won’t come either.

No, no, then she’ll feel bad.

I think she’s just more

comfortable with couples this

weekend.

What about Daisy and Violet?

They’re just my sisters.

They do their own thing.

What are you going to do?

You have to tell Sharon.

I know, but how?

By opening your mouth and

talking!

Um, Sharon?

I’m so excited!

I have tons of stuff to do.

Packing for the cottage--

Uh, yeah, about that...

Don’t worry.

I’ll bring plenty of sunscreen.

Ready to go?

Uh, yeah.

Um, Alden?

I’ll phone her in the

morning, first thing.

Okay.

See ya!

BOTH: Bye!

(Answering machine beeping)

ALDEN: Hey, Sharon, are you

there?

Um, pick up if you are, okay?

’Cause I have to tell you

something.

(Humming happily)

And I feel really bad about

this.

It’s nothing personal, honest.

I hope you understand, bye.

(Beeping)

Morning, guys!

Chow time!

Hmm, someone left a message so

early?

(Zapping)

Oh, no!

MACHINE: No... messages...

Gee, sure hope it wasn’t

anything important.

Will you hurry up, Violet?

We’re leaving, like, now!

Did someone pack the camera?

Right here!

Hey, let’s get a photo,

dudes!

Moment of departure!

Do you mind?

Hey!

I was packing all this cottage

stuff, games, books-- oh, and

magazines with those stupid

quizzes.

Whoa, pretty full in there!

Hope there’s room for my stuff!

Don’t worry, we’ll just make

room.

Right, Alden?

SHARON: So, question number

four.

"Girls, what is your boyfriend’s

favourite piece of clothing?"

Maria?

That’s easy!

His Hawaiian shirt.

Yeah, except Wong won’t let

me wear it.

(Laughing)

’Cause you look like a doofus

in it!

Too bad, ’cause it’s in my

bag back there!

Oh, great.

He’ll be scaring the wildlife.

(Giggling)

Okay, okay.

Marlo, your turn.

Alden’s favourite piece of

clothing?

Um, uh, I don’t really know.

Uh, what about his cargo

pants?

The ones with the torn back

pockets?

Oh, come on, Marlo!

It’s that blue sweater, the one

you gave me for my birthday.

I’m turning in for gas.

You guys want anything?

Sodas!

And maybe a washroom?

Um, sodas, six of ’em.

I thought you were going to

call Sharon this morning!

I did.

I left a message on her machine

telling her not to come.

Well, obviously she didn’t

get it!

Obviously, and now Marlo’s

all upset.

Listen, I’m happy to spend

time with Sharon and try to keep

her away from you guys.

What about Brock?

He’ll be left on his own, then.

(Slurping)

Nah!

He’ll be with me and Sharon.

SHARON NARRATING: On a scale

of 1 to 10, this kind of

humiliation was a 42!

How could this have happened?

And how was I going to escape?

Did Sharon drown in the

washroom?

Could someone check?

Sorry!

You okay, Spitz?

Yeah, fine, except uh...

I probably should go home.

Excuse me?

I completely forgot this

important appointment today,

with Pigger.

Um, having his teeth cleaned.

Sharon!

Silly me.

It’s been on the calendar for

weeks.

But I found out where the bus

stop is to get home, right

across the road!

So, have a great weekend, guys!

Sorry about this.

Sharon, wait!

Can’t, the bus is due in a

minute!

Bye!

Violet, get back here!

Violet, we have stuff to unload!

(Violet splashing in lake)

Whoa, this place rocks!

(Phone ringing)

Hello?

It’s me!

Hi, you, what’s up?

I’m still at the bus stop.

I have a little problem, though.

Um, according to Thelma Louise

here, the bus is on a holiday

schedule.

It won’t be back till tomorrow.

I don’t know what to do!

Don’t worry.

Just hang on, okay?

Okay.

Um, Daisy?

I wish I could just

disappear!

This is so embarrassing!

It’s not your fault.

We just have to make the best of

it.

Yeah, but I don’t want to

wreck Alden and Marlo’s

relationship, or their time here

together.

Oh, you won’t!

Come on, we’ll hang together.

It’ll be fun!

No, I don’t want to wreck

your weekend with Brock, either.

He already wrecked it with

the Hawaiian shirt.

(Giggling)

(Car honking)

We’re all friends, right?

You’ll give Marlo and Alden a

little space, and it’ll be fine.

I’ll do better than that!

I’ll be invisible, Maria, like

I’m not even there.

Hey, dude, check it out!

Snorkel Man!

Wait till Snorkel Man sees

what’s at the bottom of the

lake.

Ha, ha!

Sharon, hi!

Need some help?

Oh, no thanks, I’m fine!

Just ignore me!

Go back to what you were doing.

See, no problem!

Um, Sharon?

Um, that’s my bed.

Sorry.

Oh, my gosh!

I’m the one who should be sorry!

Is there maybe a sleeping bag

around here?

So, when you want to go to

sleep, just pull it out.

But it sticks sometimes.

Uh, you want me to pull it out

for you now?

Oh, no, it’s fine.

I won’t be sleeping for hours

yet!

Sorry about the tight space.

That’s okay!

I like tight spaces.

I don’t take up a lot of room!

Should we gather some plants

now, Alden?

Before lunch?

Go, have fun!

I have a ton of stuff to do.

They’re gathering plants

together.

That’s good, right?

I guess.

Have you seen Violet?

No.

She’s supposed to make the

fruit salad.

I can do it!

Could you pick some

strawberries?

There’s a patch at the back of

the cottage.

No problem!

Ouch!

Ah, go home!

Go visit a flower!

Hmm, euonymus, I think.

Pretty leaves!

(Sharon screaming)

A bee!

Is it in my hair?

Hang on, hang on.

No, you’re clear.

Oh!

Sorry to bother you.

Won’t happen again.

Oh, I found this cute plant.

You can have it for your

project!

I’m sure we had calamine

lotion here somewhere.

I am so sorry!

I had no idea it was poison ivy!

That’s okay, it’s a plant I

didn’t have yet!

Can’t find it.

Someone’s going to have to drive

into town.

Violet!

VIOLET: I’m in the bathroom,

Daisy!

Ugh!

I’ll go with you!

Okay, entertainment question

for Brock and Alden, the losing

team, if I may point out.

Right, Marlo?

"What Canadian-made TV cartoon

stars a blonde teenage girl and

her circle of friends, who are

trying to make their way in the

landscape that is teenage life?"

30 seconds, go!

Oh, I know this!

Oh, me too, me too!

Um, it’s... it’s...

Oh, I can see her.

(Laughing)

Hi, guys!

Got some calamine!

Oh, that feels better!

Okay, enough dumb trivia.

Let’s head for the dock.

Want to come, Sharon?

Oh, no thanks.

Come on!

We’ve got all these great water

toys.

Maybe later.

Uh, I want to do the lunch

dishes.

Why?

You didn’t even have lunch.

Details, Maria!

Don’t sweat it!

Ugh!

DAISY: Violet, where are you?

Violet!

Have you seen her?

Not since lunch.

Well, she’s supposed to help

me streak my hair!

Bwa, ha, ah!

Ahhh!

Sorry, Spitz.

You almost done?

Almost.

Maria told me what happened.

I feel bad.

Don’t, just a big...

misunderstanding.

So, why don’t you join us on

the dock?

The water’s awesome!

Oh, I would, but I have all

of these books to read.

Gone With the Wind, w*r and

Peace.

Marlo and Alden took off in

the canoe.

Really?

Come on, the coast is clear.

It’s just me and Maria.

Ah, I could get used to this!

Brock?

Yeah?

Maria told me that Alden and

Marlo, they’re kind of having

problems?

I don’t know.

It’s been a bit weird lately.

What do you mean, weird?

It’s like they’re trying to

figure some stuff out.

What kind of stuff?

How should I know?

I’m a guy, remember?

We don’t know about things like

that.

MARIA: Bombs away, people!

Oh, that was total fun!

You should try it, Sharon!

Me?

Yeah, why not?

It’s really easy.

All you have to do is hang on.

(Screaming)

Ahhh!

Oh, no!

Ahhh!

(All screaming)

(Coughing)

Sharon?

I thought you were doing

dishes!

Sorry, thanks, you guys.

I am such an idiot!

(Sighing)

(Chirping)

(Gasping)

What are you doing here?

(Chirping)

And where’s your family?

Ahh!

Alden, wait!

Come back!

Alden!

What is it now?

Oh, it’s a baby loon.

Really?

It must have gotten separated

from its family.

But how?

A jet-skier, probably.

They ride through a family of

loons and don’t even see the

babies, and then, the babies get

caught in their back-wash.

That’s terrible!

Someone should stop them!

Yeah, we’ve got a petition

circulating to ban jet-skiing

from the lake.

They’re noisy and irritating,

but a lot of people like them.

What do we do now?

We have to find its family.

Is there someone we could

call?

The local wildlife rescue

association.

Yes, hello.

Right.

Oh, okay, thanks!

The wildlife rescue guy says

they’ll send someone to get the

bird.

Great!

But she can’t come till

tomorrow.

No problem, I’ll take care of

it until then.

Okay, I’m going to go put on

some dry clothes.

Oh, Sharon, we’ve been

looking all over for you!

Sorry!

We found the inner tube!

And you weren’t in it!

We thought this beach bag was

all we had left of you.

Alden and Marlo picked me up.

I had to streak my hair

alone, ’cause you disappeared

again, Violet!

And guess what?

It didn’t take!

So, we’re going into town now,

together, to get a new streaking

kit.

Hey, can I come?

I’m really in the mood for a

sub.

Mm, me too!

Okay, but just let me put on

my Hawaiian shirt!

We’ll be in the van!

So, you and Alden will have

the place to yourself for a

while!

Well, kinda.

Oh, I-- I won’t be here in

the cottage.

I’ll be loon-sitting.

Excuse me?

I’m moving out to the

boathouse right now.

It’s quiet and comfortable

there, and the loon really needs

me.

What loon?

It’s a long story.

Well, it’s just you and me

now.

Don’t worry, we’ll find your

family, I promise.

In the meantime, how do you know

you’ve found your perfect mate?

It’s a quiz, multiple choice.

So, I’ll ask the questions and

you just make a noise or

something at the answer you

want, okay?

(Chirping)

Good, first question.

"If you could describe your

dream date, what would it be?

A) Dinner in Paris,

B) Skiing in Aspen,

C) Surfing in Hawaii,

or D--"

(Chirping)

Wait, you haven’t heard all the

choices!

So, I’ve added up your scores,

and your perfect mate would be

another loon!

How great is that?

Ugh, time for more calamine.

Oh, darn, must have left it in

the cottage.

You’re such a good guy, and

well, I didn’t mean to make

Sharon feel bad.

It’s just that I-- I really

wanted--

All right!

ALDEN: So, you really mean

this?

You’re breaking up with me?

MARLO: I’ve been trying to

find the words all day.

I’m sorry, Alden.

I really am.

(Pots clattering)

ALDEN: Hello?

Is anyone there?

Um, I’m not here really.

Oh, my gosh!

What is going on?

Did I cause the break-up?

(Chirping)

ALDEN: Sharon?

(Gasping)

Oh, no!

Sharon?

Why are you sitting in the dark?

Uh, I don’t want to keep the

loon awake.

They sleep in moonlight.

Oh.

Hi.

Hi.

You, um, dropped this.

Oh, right, thanks.

So, the loon looks

comfortable.

Yeah, I’ve been reading to

her, giving her a quiz.

You know, like the one we did in

the van.

The loon’s a her?

Yeah, well, I just decided.

So, what’s new?

Oh, you know, stuff.

You okay?

Well, the itching is a real

drag.

Yeah, I know.

Seriously, though, you want to

talk about anything?

Nah, I’m cool.

Okay.

So, you really think you’ll

find her family?

That’s what I do.

Thanks!

You’re welcome to stay, you

know.

I could use some help with my

plants.

That’s very nice, Alden, but

really, I should get back.

You sure?

It’s still a long weekend.

I know, but Pigger’s teeth

and everything.

Tell me again why you’re

leaving?

Because I feel weird, Maria!

Like maybe I broke them up.

And I don’t know how Marlo

feels, and I don’t know how

Alden feels, and he doesn’t know

how he feels, either!

And until he does, I don’t want

to get in the way, you know?

I just-- I just want to paint

my toenails!

Do you understand?

Oh, um, totally.

You’re coming with us,

Violet, to help fix this!

’Cause this time, you did help!

(Gum popping)

(Marlo sniffling)

Marlo?

I’m going to the bus stop,

too.

Oh, right.

Just so you know, it’s not

your fault.

Alden and I are just really

different, that’s all.

(Crying)

Break-ups are hard.
