Recess: School's Out Page #2

Synopsis: It's the most exciting time of year at Third Street Elementary-- the end of the School Year! But boredom quickly sets in for protagonist TJ Detweiler, as his friends (the other 5 protagonist children) are headed for Summer Camp. One day, while passing by the school on his bike, he notices a green glow coming from the school's auditorium. This is the work of the insidious ex-principal of Third Street, Phillium Benedict and his gang of ninjas and secret service look-alikes! Benedict is planning to get rid of Summer Vacation using his newly-acquired Tractor Beam, which he stole from the US Military Base in an effort to raise US Test Scores, and it's up to the Recess Gang to stop him! In the end, TJ and the gang, with the help from the other students, Principal Prickly, Ms. Finster and the other teachers, destroy the laser, Benedict and his henchmen are arrested, and the kids (TJ's buddies) decide to spend their Summer with TJ.

Dancinin thestreet

Look at those hooligans.

Actually, I think its a wonderful

expression offreedom andjoy.

Ill tell you a wonderful expression

offreedom andjoy.

Twelve weeks ofnothing but me at the

West Side GolfCourse, and no Detweiler.

I second that emotion, sir.

Man, Teej,

that prankwas sweet.

Yeah, you shouldve seen

Finsters face-- I thought

she was gonna blow a gasket.

Those limesicles were tasty.

A tasty beginning

to a tasty summer.

Twelve weeks ofnothing but

riding bikes, hanging out at the lake...

and T.P.-ing

the West Side GolfCourse.

Summervacation--

the ultimate recess.

Yeah, I cant wait

to get to baseball camp.

Baseball camp ?

What areyou talking about ?

Actually, Teej,

Im gonna be out oftown too.

Big-time Wrestling Federation

has this training camp,

and I gotta learn some new moves

ifIm ever gonna turn pro.

- But, Spinelli--

- Its military camp for me.

My dad says I need to

learn to be a leader.

I shall be attending

the Mt. Van Buren Space Camp.

- Dont wanna let those

science geeks get ahead ofme.

- Youre all going to camp ?

- Not me.

- Thank goodness.

The Young Voices Training Program

doesnt like the word camp.

They provide opportunities for aspiring

singers to train theirvoices...

in a rigorous

yet supportive setting.

But summers gonna be ruined.

What am I gonna do ? Play baseball

by myself? Watch reruns ? Read ?

Sorry, man, but we gotta

think about our futures.

Yeah, we cant waste the whole summer

Just fooling around like kids.

ofthe time weve got left.
