- Hey, Sally.

- Hi, Barb.

Hey, Dave show up last night?

Michelle? Michelle, is that you?

Okay, everybody. Time to get up.

Come on.

Wake up, Tiger. We're late. Come on.

Sophie, my love.

- Hey, gorgeous, rise and shine.

- Michelle.

Come on, you guys. It's a beautiful day.

Michelle, is that you?

Who's there?

Did you hear that?

What's going on?

Sally, Sally, what is it? What happened?

Alfred. Alfred, he looked at me

in the shower and he wouldn't leave.

Hold it, hold it. Where you going?

Come here. Come on.

You are sick. You know that?

You are really sick.

Wait a minute. What's going on here?

Alfred's been prowling around

the girls' shower.

- Karen, take sally up to the bunk, okay?

- Okay.

Just take it easy for a while, honey.

What do you have to say

about that, Alfred?

I only meant to scare her.

You only meant to scare her!

Well, you sure as hell did scare her.

- Okay. Eddy, take him up to the rec room.

- You are some sort of degenerate!

- I'll talk with him.

- You'll talk with him?

He's a sexual pervert.

What do you expect me to do,

cut his balls off?

That kid's weird, Todd.

What the hell was he doing

snooping around here?

- He's just a kid. Kids do that.

- Did you do that?

Why the hell are you covering

for him anyway?

I think we should throw him out.

Okay. So he's a little strange. But I'll talk with him.

I'll straighten him out.

You're a pushover.

You always believe the best.

You're too easy.

Okay, listen.

If I think he's going to be a problem,

I'll make sure he's off the camp, okay?

- Okay?

- Okay.

All right, Alfred.

What the hell were you doing out there?

What were you trying to pull?

Come on, if you don't talk to me,

you're gonna be talking to the supervisor.

And I don't think you want that.

You know, I saved you

a lot of embarrassment out there

by not bawling you out

in front of the other kids.

I think you owe me something for that.

Start talking.

I only wanted to scare her.

You think she's gonna understand that?

Or the supervisor? Or Glazer?

What about Glazer?

Look, it's not just Glazer. It's everybody.

I mean, they're all always picking on me.

I don't have any friends.

I didn't want to come to this camp

to begin with, you know.

It's like the army. I mean,

someone's always telling me

what to do all the time.

It's the same thing every year.

I sort of know what you're going through.

Five years ago,

when I was in summer camp,

I didn't just get bawled out

by the counselor. I got sent home.

- You did?

- Yeah.

You don't have to take on

this whole camp by yourself.

If you've got a problem,

if you want someone to talk to, I'm here.

Okay?

Okay.

I'd have socked him right in the eye.
