RV Page #2

Synopsis: The executive Bob Munro is stressed, feeling threatened of losing his job and his lifestyle, since his abusive boss Todd Mallory hired the Stanford's geek Laird to work in their soda's company. Bob has promised his wife Jamie Munro, his teenage daughter Cassie Munro and his young son Carl Munro to spend vacations in Hawaii, but Todd demands him to prepare a presentation and attend a business meeting with the owners of a family company in a merging operation scheduled in the same period. Bob hides the truth to his family, rents a recreational vehicle and tries to convince his dysfunctional family that a road trip to the Colorado Rocky Mountains would be good to bring old values back to their family. After many incidents and while in the trailers parking area, the rookie Bob is helped by the bizarre but friendly Gornicke family. They escape from the Gornickes and initiate a journey of difficulties and leaning, retrieving their forgotten family bonds.

Larry's nervous.

If I tell my wife we're not going

to Hawaii, bury me ass - Up.

You have a place to park your bike.

- Bob.

- Todd.

Bob. Bob,

this crisis has actually saved your job.

- Really?

- After yesterday...

...i figured I gotta fire you

to maintain some respect around here.

But in light of this Alpine thing...

- ... i still need you.

- Bless you, Todd.

I gotta run out there

and make a presentation.

I can write the presentation in Hawaii

and zap it to you.

Laird can write me a presentation.

If I tell him to, he'll live in the office.

He'll shower

in the damn water cooler.

But you've got one thing

he hasn't got.

- A soul.

- No, you're good in a meeting.

You've got the chutzpah.

So I want you

to write that presentation...

...and I need you at the meeting

to put this thing over.

- Yeah.

- So no Hawaii.

- No.

- Boulder, Colorado, Friday.

Just move your Hawaii dates.

The kids are booked

the rest of the summer.

- You have to go to Boulder.

- Agreed.

I want you to know, after the divorce,

i'm coming after Jamie hard.

Bring jewelry.

Hey, if you get Jamie,

can I have Elaine?

- You want Elaine?

- Better than nothing.

Trust me, it's not better.

Elaine is still mad at me

for taking that vacation last year.

Figures that's why

I didn't get that promotion.

- Oh, the RV trip.

- RV trip?

Oh, the famous RV trip.

Oh, can we see the pictures again?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Nobody move.

Did you rent that RV?

Mom, some idiot just parked

this ugly RV outside our house.

What?

Oh, my God, it's your husband.

- Oh, hi.

- What is that?

- It's an RV.

- And why is it in front of our house?

- We're taking it on vacation.

- To Hawaii?

- No, it doesn't float. Colorado.

- What happened to Hawaii?

Come on, Hawaii's

a winter destination. It's summer.

The place I'm taking you is special,

and not like Uncle Mike.

It's Lake Nirvana,

where I went with my parents as a kid.

Is he being funny?

Because I can never tell.

Oh, come on.

You've always wanted to camp, right?

This is what he came up with

to punish me for Gretchen.

I was gonna surf.

Nice one, Dad. Thanks.

The hotel in Hawaii

has a weight room.

Doesn't anybody

respect my lifting schedule?

We're not campers. We don't camp.

- Why not?

- Why -? Why not?

- For one thing, we like to shower.

- Well, it's got a shower.

You and I will go out right now

and take a shower.

Bob, do you know where you stay

when you take an RV trip?

- Where?

- RV camps.

Honey, try to remember,

we're not friendly.

In Hawaii, we'll never see the kids.

This way,

we can spend time with them.

You need to spend time with them.

I spend nine hours a day with them.
