Sunscreen, extra socks,
emergency rations.
Brock, we’re going to
Enviro-Camp, not the Amazon.
I have a reputation to
protect!
I was the top trail scout in--
Troop 404, yeah, you
mentioned.
Several times.
Hey, check it out!
He got badges in knot tying,
basket weaving--
Hey, you never know when you
might need to weave a basket.
(Giggling)
(Horn honking)
Morning, everyone!
I’m Julia, the director of
Enviro-Camp.
Remember my name; you’ll have to
yell it if you get lost in the
woods!
Just kidding.
And this is Alex.
Please be extra nice to him
because he’s the one who’s gonna
feed us this weekend.
Hey, guys!
"Hummana."
Stop drooling, it’s
undignified!
Okay, folks!
All aboard.
(All chattering)
There’s some empty seats in the
back there.
STUDENT: Hey!
Hi, oh, we’re gonna have a
great time.
Come on in.
ALDEN: Thanks!
Lorena Smithkin?
Here.
Maria Nunziatina Wong?
(Giggling)
Here.
Just Maria, please.
Sure thing.
That’s everyone, so let’s roll!
(Cheering)
BROCK: Yeah, let’s go!
Nunziatina?
ALDEN: Good one!
(Laughing)
My mom filled out the sign up
sheet.
It’s a family name, okay?
I wouldn’t laugh.
Your middle name is worse.
(Grunting)
You told me you didn’t have
one.
I- I don’t.
Alden’s just kidding.
Right.
You know, I’m gonna find out
eventually.
There’s nothing to find out.
I don’t have a middle name.
(Whistling)
Hi, it’s Sharon, right?
Oh, I wasn’t staring.
I just like your necklace.
It’s cool.
Oh, thanks.
It’s from India.
Wow!
You’ve been to India?
Nah, not yet, but maybe next
year.
I’m saving up to go before
college.
It’d be so cool, ’cause I’m
really into yoga and meditation.
(Gasping)
I love yoga!
So, did your girlfriend give you
that necklace?
Nah, I don’t have a
girlfriend.
JULIA: Okay, campers!
We’re gonna start things off
with a scavenger hunt.
Earth to Sharon.
Sorry.
But instead of having you
look for feathers or moths, I
want you to look for stuff that
isn’t natural.
Like food wrappers and pop cans.
This sounds suspiciously like
picking up garbage.
Bingo!
We’re going to give Mother
Nature a hand by getting rid of
what doesn’t belong here.
And, as a bonus, there’s a prize
for finding the most interesting
trash.
Now, everyone grab a partner.
Alex?
Are you coming?
No, I’ve got to go set up the
tents, but have fun!
Hey, wanna be my partner?
Maria’s got Brock.
Sure.
(Hawk screeching)
I was just thinking, I
probably wouldn’t be here if
Marlo and I were still together.
Really?
Yeah, she’s not into camping,
and she wasn’t keen on me doing
stuff without her.
Well, I’m glad you came.
Me too.
It’s great being here again, you
know, with you.
SHARON NARRATING: Why was he
looking at me like that?
Was there something in my
braces?
Is that a deer?
Where?
Huh, I don’t see anything.
Oh, sorry.
False alarm, I guess.
Great find, Sharon!
This must be fifty years old.
I think we have a winner.
(Cheering)
BROCK: All right, way to go,
Spitz!
All right, Sharon!
Your prize, Madame.
Marshmallows!
Thanks.
I hope you’re gonna share
those.
Definitely.
It looks like we have time
for a swim before lunch.
Who’s in?
(All chattering)
Alex, you know I’m
vegetarian, right?
Yeah, it was on your sign up
form.
It’s just that marshmallows
aren’t actually vegetarian.
There’s gelatine in them, from
cow bones.
No way, I didn’t know that!
So, you won’t mind if I don’t
have any?
Of course not!
You know what?
Forget the cow candy.
I’m gonna come up with a prize
that’s more like you.
You know, something special.
Come on, let’s go swimming!
Hey, thanks for saving me an
extra trip.
Oh, no problem.
I love carrying things.
Hey, Brock, if I tell you
something, do you promise not to
freak out?
Sure.
I think I like Sharon again.
What?
Way to not freak out.
When did this happen?
I don’t know, I’ve been
thinking about it for awhile.
And then this morning when we
were alone on the trail, there
was this moment.
Moment?
Yeah.
We just kinda looked at each
other, and for a second, it felt
like we never broke up.
I don’t know, dude.
You guys have a great friendship
now.
Are you sure you wanna mess it
up?
No, I’m not sure.
That’s the problem.
I don’t even know if she’s
interested.
You want me to find out from
Maria?
No, no!
Don’t tell Maria.
Tell Maria what?
BOTH: Nothing!
Yeah, right.
And Brock doesn’t have a middle
name.
Oh, why are you guys keeping
secrets from me?
Don’t you trust me?
(Gasping)
Or maybe the secret is about me.
It’s not about you, I swear.
It’s just boring guy stuff.
Yeah, well, you better be
really boring.
Whew, thanks.
Whew.
I wanna keep this quiet for
now.
You’re welcome.
But don’t be too quiet, or
Sharon’s gonna get distracted by
the scenery.
Why, what do you mean?
(Giggling)
SHARON: You’re so--
(Giggling)
Good point.
I guess I better make a move.
Whoa!
Whoa!
(Splashing)
You go next.
Thanks!
Whoa!
(Splashing)
Hey, Sharon, you okay?
Fine, great.
It’s not as scary as it
looks.
I know.
I just couldn’t make myself
jump.
I hate looking like a coward in
front of...everybody.
I don’t want to be the only one
who doesn’t jump.
Then I won’t jump either, so
you won’t be the only one.
Really?
You’d do that?
It’s no big deal.
Come on, lunch is ready anyway.
(Sizzling)
(All chattering)
I’m starved.
Me too.
Where did these come from?
Oh, that was so sweet of him.
Ugh, I can’t believe she
thought it was Alex.
Dude, if you tie your boots
any tighter, your feet will fall
off!
The guy’s eighteen.
Does Sharon really think he
likes her?
He is paying a lot of
attention to her, and now he’s
getting bonus marks for your
flowers.
Well, I can’t tell her the
truth now.
I’ll look like a total idiot.
I’ll just have to try harder to
show her how I feel.
Alex must like me.
What else could this mean?
It might just be a
replacement prize for the
marshmallows.
You think so?!
But he’s being so nice to me!
He’s a counsellor ; he has to
be nice to us.
Well, how am I supposed to
find out what he’s thinking?
I can’t just come out and ask
him.
What if I’m wrong?
Okay, okay.
Don’t take it out on your hair.
Look, we’re going to spend the
whole afternoon with Alex on the
hike.
All we have to do is watch for
more proof that he likes you.
You’re right.
We’ll figure it out.
You didn’t happen to bring a
pair of scissors, did you?
There was a storm a few weeks
ago, so we may have to clear
some fallen branches off the
trail.
Thanks!
Hey, be careful, it’s
slippery.
(Thwacking)
Ow!
Jones!
Sorry.
(Frog croaking)
(Insects buzzing)
Ow!
Ugh, the bugs are eating me
alive.
Well, take it as a
compliment.
It’s because you smell good.
Here, use my bug spray.
Oh, man.
(Coughing)
MARIA: Alden, ew!
SHARON: Ew, man!
Well, you’ll have more
control if you put your inside
hand on the T-grip.
My what hand on the where?
Here, let me show you.
All right, you hold it here, and
here.
All right, now try that.
That is better, thanks!
Oh, no, my hat!
Hey, don’t lean so far!
BOTH: Whoa!
Alden!
Got it!
(Coughing)
Don’t worry about me, I’m
fine.
(Sighing)
Sitting down is good.
Great hike, guys.
We’ll sleep well tonight.
This stinks!
Well, our clothes wouldn’t
stink if somebody hadn’t tipped
the canoe.
I mean, it stinks that no
matter what I do to impress
Sharon, I come out looking like
a fool.
Maybe it’s a sign that you
guys aren’t meant to be.
No.
I think it’s a sign that I need
to be a little more direct.
What are you gonna do?
SHARON: I’m freezing!
Is anyone else getting chilly?
Well, I guess I should light
the fire.
Hey, I’ve got an idea.
Sharon, you look freezing.
Yeah!
Why don’t you put on another
layer?
I was just gonna suggest
that.
It’d be a real drag if you got
sick.
That’s a good idea.
Yeah, that should do it.
She’s seen my sweater tons of
times.
At first I was confused.
The sweater wasn’t mine, and it
was too big to be Maria’s.
Then, I figured it out.
It had to be Alex’s sweater.
(Gasping)
Could he be any sweeter?
That’s a little big on you.
I think it’s perfect.
It even smells nice.
Oh, man, I can’t believe she
didn’t recognize my sweater.
I’ve worn it a million times.
Chill.
At least she thinks you smell
good.
There’s a lot of whispering
going on here.
What’s the big secret?
We were, uh, playing broken
telephone.
Something’s gonna get broken
all right.

Hey, if we’re gonna sing, can
we at least sing a real song?
♪
SHARON: I wish I played the
guitar.
A friend tried to teach me once,
but I was hopeless at it.
ALEX: Well, maybe you just
didn’t have a very good teacher.
That’s it, he’s going down.
Tell you what, why don’t I
give you a guitar lesson?
As your prize for finding the
pop bottle.
I’d love that!
Hey, you got a Harlan special
edition!
You mind if I try it?
Go ahead!
You play?
Oh, a little.
♪
Hey, not bad!
Alden, why don’t you go roast
a tofu weenie?
Nah, already had one, thanks.
Come on, I can tell you’re
still hungry.
Hey!
Looks like you have a rival.
I think Alden likes Sharon too.
Too?
I don’t have a thing for Sharon.
I mean, I like her a lot, but
not like that.
Why are you showing off?
Nobody wants to hear you play
right now.
Oh, yeah?
Well, maybe nobody wants to hear
you flirting with Alex.
SHARON: I wish I knew what
was up with Alden.
He was fine all day, but then he
was totally grumpy at the
campfire.
Huh, and they say girls are
moody.
I’ll talk to Brock.
He’ll know if something’s going
on.
Although, there’s no guarantee
he’ll tell me.
He’s being all secretive.
Are you gonna sleep in that?
It’s Alex’s.
I may never take it off.
You know, I had my doubts at
first, but after Alex left you
those flowers and now that
sweater, he’s definitely into
you.
I never thought an older guy
would be interested in me.
I can hardly believe it.
Well, why not?
You’re a catch!
Yeah, a real guy magnet.
(Giggling)
Seriously, I’m really happy
for you.
Your love life’s been rough this
year.
You deserve to have this work
out.
Thanks, I hope it does.
So, what’s your next move?
Well, Alex told me he was
going to Jump Rock at sunrise to
do yoga.
That sounds like an
invitation.
That’s what I thought!
It’ll be the perfect chance to
tell him that I like him too.
Sorry, dude.
I know how much you wanted that
to be you.
It’s not just that, Brock.
Because of the stuff I did,
Sharon thinks Alex is into her.
She’s gonna make a total fool of
herself.
What am I gonna do?
(Loon calling)
Break a leg!
Thanks!
Good luck, Jones.
Thanks.
I’m gonna need it.
(Gasping)
Alden, wait!
What’s wrong with this stupid
zipper?!
Ugh, I don’t believe this!
Well, they probably bought this
stupid tent on stupid sale.
Did you get up on the wrong
side of the tent this morning?
You have to go and stop
Alden!
Sharon’s meeting Alex and they
need privacy.
Understand?
Um, right now?
Yes, right now!
What’s wrong?
Nothing, but-- it’s just that
I, you know--
I don’t know why you’re
keeping secrets all of the
sudden, but right now, I don’t
care.
This is important to Sharon.
Give me one good reason why you
won’t go and stop Alden.
Because Alden likes Sharon
again.
(Gasping)
I don’t believe you!
I’m serious.
Alden’s got it bad.
He’s been thinking about this
for awhile.
I wanted to tell you from the
start, but Alden made me promise
not to.
Oh, why did he take so long
to figure this out?
It’s too late.
Sharon and Alex are an item now.
You think so, huh?
Well, yeah.
He gave her flowers and lent her
his sweater and-- and--
Alden did all that stuff!
That’s what he went to tell
Sharon.
Whoa.
I guess they do have a lot to
talk about.
(Groaning)
Oh, no!
Oh, Alex is waking up!
Sharon?
Alden?
What are you doing here?
I need to talk to you about
some stuff that happened
yesterday.
Okay, but does it have to be
now?
I’m meeting Alex for yoga, and
he’ll be here any second.
It definitely has to be now.
I don’t know how to say this--
Quickly would be nice.
I’m the one who left the
flowers for you, not Alex.
And the sweater was mine too.
I was trying to send you a
message, but you weren’t getting
it.
I just had to tell you it was
me, so you wouldn’t be thinking
it was him.
Well, that’s it.
I better go.
Wait!
What message were you trying to
send me?
I guess I wanted you to know
that...I miss being the the guy
who gets to give you flowers.
I still like you, a lot.
But, it’s obvious you don’t feel
the same way about me.
I- I don’t know how I feel.
I haven’t let myself think about
you that way for a long time.
I mean, you broke up with me.
It wasn’t my best decision
ever.
But what about now?
I don’t want to get hurt again.
How do I know you really mean it
this time?
I’m here, aren’t I?
I’m spilling my guts just to
keep you from being embarrassed
in front of Alex.
What more proof do you need?
But, well, this would change
everything.
We have a great friendship now.
And I don’t want to lose it.
That scares me too.
That’s why it took me so long to
say something.
But, since it’s out there, what
do you think?
I don’t know.
Sharon, stop!
Sharon!
(Screaming)
Sharon!
(Coughing)
It’s okay, just breathe.
See?
I told you the jump wasn’t that
scary.
Says you.
But Alden was right.
I wasn’t scared anymore.
Suddenly, somehow I felt like
anything was possible.
Even this.
What happened to you two?
You’re soaking!
We were down at Jump Rock.
We decided to make the jump
after all.
Now there’s something I
haven’t seen for awhile.
It’s kind of a surprise to me
too.
I’ll be right back, okay?
Just gonna put some dry clothes
on.
I’ll be here.
Awww!
I had to tell Maria.
She dragged it out of me.
It’s okay, it’s not a secret
anymore.
Okay, does it occur to either
of you that if you hadn’t kept
this a secret, it would have
avoided a lot of confusion?
Sure, but what fun is that?
Oh, mama mia.
(Giggling)
I just hope that’s the only
thing you’re keeping me in the
dark about.
Well, there is one other
thing.
(Indistinct whispering)
Get outta town!
It’s true.
Maria, I just thought of
something.
What happened to Alex?
He never showed up for yoga.
Hey, did somebody do
something to my tent?
(Giggling)
Very funny, you guys.
Now, how could that have
happened?
Sorry I made fun of your knot
tying badge.
How long are you planning to
leave me in here?
Well, I guess we should let
him out.
Come on, Shelby.
See?
That’s exactly why I was keeping
it a secret.
MARIA: Wow, these knots are
complicated!
BROCK: That one’s a sailor’s
knot.
I couldn’t tell you before,
but you look really good in my
sweater.
Thanks.
And for the record, I still
think it smells great.
ALEX: Uh, could you guys work
a little faster?
Well, nature’s calling, if you
catch my drift.
