Loren and Abby don't have much trouble making friends at their new high school. Loren starts dating Karen, the local sheriff's daughter while Abby starts dating Mark. Loren feels uncomfortable when he sees a blond-haired guy harassing Abby in the lunchroom. Mark tells Loren and Abby that the blond-haired guy is Eddie Dutra, a teenage drug addict who is the leader of a gang of redneck thugs. Loren helps Abby keep Dutra at a distance. Dutra's retaliations keep getting more vicious until Dutra forces a showdown at the amusement park by kidnapping Abby.

You hear that, honey?

I told you they were great kids.

Well, come on. Follow me.

Loren, look.

Chickens, ducks, geese.

We got it all.

This goat over here...

...her name is Henrietta.

She's pregnant.

This other goat over here,

her name's Helen.

And this calf here,

her name's Mathilda.

Go ahead. Introduce yourself.

Look at you.

- What's the rabbit's name?

- I don't believe she has a name.

- Hey, baby.

- What do you think she is?

Oh, Molly. Definitely a Molly.

How do you like it?

- Well, it's something.

- Yeah, well, I know it needs work.

It took every penny I had to get it,

but it's worth it.

A little spit, polish and sweat...

...I can see hundreds of people

ambling down these streets...

...money in both hands.

Well, with Disney World and Epcot

a couple hours north...

...this will be the perfect place

for people to stop en route.

Little appetizer.

Now, consider this:

We're only 25 minutes away

from the third biggest interstate...

...in the southern United States.

Now, do you have any idea

how many cars...

...travel that road each

and every single day?

- No, sir.

- Neither do I.

But you can bet it's plenty.

Any market researcher

could tell you that.

And every one of them

means money in our pockets.

Here's where you'll be staying.

Hello.

I know it needs a little work.

It ain't exactly the Hilton, but...

- It'll be fine.

- Oh, good. Terrific. I'm glad.

God, you kids must be starving.

I'll get the grill going,

and we'll have ourselves...

...a little celebration

with burgers and dogs.

- Sure.

- All right.

- Oh, my God.

- Well, it could be worse.

- How?

- How?

We're supposed to sleep

in here together?

Yeah. Well, I'll rig up a curtain

or something. It'll be all right.

Well, like the man said,

it needs a little work.

Hey, Loren.

What do you think?

I think it needs a little work.

Very funny.

- Hi, beautiful.

- Come on, you're such a hot dog.

If X equals eight,

then Y must be equal to what?

Now, three times eight squared plus

one-half Y squared equals 264, right?

And three times 64 plus

one-half Y squared equals...

David, would you, please?

Thank you.

192 plus one-half Y squared

equals 264.

And one-half Y squared equals...

Would you kids, please?

Y squared equals 144, right?

What does Y equal?

Miss MacWilliams.

It's okay. Take your time.

Miss MacWilliams?

I can't say.

The answer is 12.

What was the matter? Didn't you think

that was the right answer?

I knew it was the right answer.

I bet it's tough coming

into a new school like this.

No, I'm used to it.

My dad was in the military...

...so we moved around a lot.

- He died?

Both my parents died.

- Excuse me.

- I'm sorry.
