This ground is too slippery. I could fall

and get whiplash or a broken neck.

You know, those are serious injuries.

A guy could die...

- Phil? He's all yours.

- Thanks, Tripper. You Rudy Gerner?

Hi, I'm Phil. You're in my cabin, okay?

- Gotta get this...

- Hi, Morty.

- Hi, Trip. You got the rules?

- No, I'm looking for a copy.

Okay, here you go.

Very important, all your CITs

have gotta know those inside out,

backwards, forward, whatever you want.

Post them up, make sure

they know them. Very important.

Hey, Larry.

- Larry!

- What?

I think that chick over there

is staring at me.

- Which chick? Where?

- Over there.

Hey, she is staring at you.

You better go over and talk to her.

She probably wants it.

- What's cooking, good looking?

- Your fly's undone.

Renzetti, come here.

Hey, Fink, come on. Off your knees.

Hey, Spaz, I was watching you.

Looked like you had a chance there

for a second.

Thanks, Trip.

- My man, my main man.

- Hey, Tripper.

- Hey, boy.

- Eyes right, gentlemen.

- Hey.

- Hey, are these free?

- Hi, everybody.

- Hi. Hi, Mary.

- Fine. Just right, left, right, left.

- Jeez, that's right.

All right, these are the camp rules.

Morty would like you all

to take a look at these.

They'll be in here, if you

wanna check these out a little bit later.

And now, gentlemen, and you are,

I'm gonna take you over to your

cabin assignments for the first week.

Let's go.

All right, this is the six-year-old cabin.

All they know how to do is eat

and wet their beds.

You have to teach them everything else.

Crockett, take it.

No, no, Trip. I don't want it.

No six-year-olds.

Oh, come on, Trip,

I don't wanna...

That's my man. Good luck.

Put the comic book away,

and get your shirt.

Take the shirt by the shoulders.

One, fold sleevie. Two, fold sleevie.

- Presto. It's done.

- How's this?

- How's this, Mike?

- That's not bad.

Listen, why don't we just have a nap,

and we'll come back later

and try it, okay?

- No, forget it.

- No.

Come on, guys.

Do I have to count to three?

One, two... Two's good enough.

Come on, Steve.

Hey, what's that?

It's Ernie, my pet frog. He's a jumper.

- How come he doesn't hop?

- He's tired, I guess.

- No, he's dead.

- No, he's sleeping.

For sure, he's dead.

Mister, could you help me

wake up my frog?

He looks tired. Why don't we just

let him sleep a little longer, okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Take that nap now, all right? And I'II...

I'll take care of the frog.

All right,

this is the 14-year-old girls' cabin.

They've got the drive

and the equipment,

- but they don't have the experience.

- Right.

They'd better not get it from you guys.
