Camp Page #2

Synopsis: Misfits in their lives back home, a group of young people live it up at musical-theater camp. While the sports counselor is completely ignored, the kids' spend all their time in rehearsal for a grueling schedule that involves a new show every two weeks. Several personal stories come to the fore. Is talented golden-boy Vlad honest in his feelings about Ellen? Can cross-dressing Michael have a relationship with his parents? Will one-hit-wonder musical playwrite and now camp counselor Bert Hanley remain mired in drink and cynicism? Fireworks are in store when Fritzi, who slavishly serves glamour girl Jill, is finally told to get a life, and the parents of Jenna, whose jaw has been wired shut in a compromise to avoid being sent to "fat camp", learn a valuable lesson at the summer's big end-of-season benefit.

- Enough.

I have to keep

some kind of mystery.

You'll grow bored with me

and move on to someone younger.

- Good night, Mike.

- 'Night, Vlad.

- Good night, Mike.

- 'Night, Vlad.

Did he call me Mike?

Can I help you?

I'm not sure

where I'm supposed to go.

- I'm Bert Hanley.

- Bert Hanley? It's about time.

Where have you been?

You were supposed to

be here two days ago.

You're right.

What's the use in lying?

I've been drinking

for 72 hours.

You've been drinking?

Not the way you make it sound

when you say, "drinking?!"

Not the way you make it sound

when you say, "drinking?!"

I'm fine now, really.

Let's get started.

I'll get those.

I assumed that we would have

some adult time to ourselves.

What show

am I doing, anyway?

Hi!

Hi.

My name's Vlad.

I don't mean

to bother you or anything.

I just wanted to tell you how

excited I am that you're here.

I just wanted to tell you how

excited I am that you're here.

I did a production

of the children's crusade

at school this spring.

And, uh...

At first I did it just to

get close to this girl.

But then it was so good.

It really took the characters

of the kids so seriously.

That's really kind of you

to say.

That song I sing for you,

I listened to the record,

like, a hundred times

I listened to the record,

like, a hundred times

just to get the chords right

on my guitar.

It's not out on cd.

Did you know that?

Yeah, I knew that.

So, what shows have you done

since then, Mr. Hanley?

Thank you very much

for coming by to visit, Vlad.

Thank you.

Just give me a break.

You little ass-kisser.

One, two,

three, four.

Quit dragging!

Y'all better get your asses

used to less sleep

'cause we're gonna have

rehearsal all morning.

Then lunch,

then rehearsal.

Then dinner,

then rehearsal.

And the whole thing starts

all over again the next day.

Miss Allen, we've all seen

the beginning of fame.

Ooh!

Ooh!

Fame, huh?

They do that on fame?

No.

Again!

One, two, three, four.

'Night, Jenna.

'Night, Ellen.

Shut up! Start again!

Eyes, eyes, nostrils!

Silent scream!

Eyes, eyes, nostrils!

Silent scream!

You're really talented.

I don't understand

a single word of this crap,

but you do it

with such conviction.

So...

A guy like you could have

a really lucky summer

in a place like this, huh?

I'm starting to

get that idea.

Hey, look. First star.

I know my wish.

Changing the subject.

Do you have

any brothers or sisters?

Four brothers...

Two older, two younger.

Four brothers...

Two older, two younger.

Must be tough when the middle

child is the special one.

Throws everything

out of whack.

Special? Yeah.

I don't even remember

the last time
