Wet Hot American Summer Page #11

Synopsis: The setting is Camp Firewood, the year 1981. It's the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there's still a summer's worth of unfinished business to resolve. At the center of the action is camp director Beth, who struggles to keep order while she falls in love with the local astrophysics professor. He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA's Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans. The questions will all be resolved, of course, at the big talent show at the end of the day.

You already have, Henry.

You already have.

This is crazy.

This is crazy.

That's it, Lars.

Good. Keep your feet together.

You got it. Good.

Aah!

You taste like a burger.

I don't like you anymore.

Whatever!

Damn it!

Is it my turn yet?

So, this is where I come

when I want to think.

Wow!

It's very...

Barn-like.

You know, it's weird, Coop.

I was supposed to be in the woods

with Andy this afternoon, but...

Oh. I'm sorry. We can go back.

We should go back.

No, no! It's okay.

I can see him later.

Give me your hand.

It's cold.

Yeah. I'm freezing.

Do you want

my sweatshirt?

Do you mind?

Okay, Coop, now I'm colder than

I was before when I said I was cold.

Well, do you want my flannel?

Yeah.

This is cool! It's really a

great shirt. I love it.

It's my favorite shirt.

So... you're gonna have

to give it back.

Now?

Yeah.

What are we doing?

- Do you mean like switching our shirts?

- No.

What are we doing?

I don't know.

Okay, so I'm Ron and I'm calling you.

Here we go. Ring, ring.

Hello?

Hi, Gail.

It's me, Ron.

Hi, Ron. What do

you want? Um, well...

I'm ready to give our marriage

another shot. What do you say?

Um...

Be strong, Gail!

- No.

- No, Ron, it's over.

Good-bye.

Hi, mom. Could you get dad?

Just get him.

Hi, dad. Okay, are you

guys sitting down?

I met somebody. Well, she's got

this other boyfriend,

but, well, it's just a matter

of time, I think.

Her name is Katie,

and she's really great.

And, um... what?

I don't think so.

She might be.

She's got a pretty big nose.

Well, I know how you guys worry that

I have trouble meeting girls.

And I'm just saying,

worry no more.

Well, I should get going.

she's probably looking for me.

Okay, I'll talk to you guys tomorrow.

Bye-bye.

This feels so good.

Maybe you shouldn't jump

the gun just yet, Coop.

Very good, very good.

A-plus for comedy, Beth.

Ruth Buzzi better watch

her back.

Beth!

"Jump the gun."

# Day by day #

Okay, stop! I feel like I'm watching

regional theater, you guys.

God, am I at the Cleveland

playhouse or something?

Your craft is a muscle!

You need to exercise it!

Take a break! Think about

what you've done.

Gee, Susie, have you

seen Katie anywhere?

No. why?

No particular reason. But if you see her,

will you tell her I'm looking for her?

- Sure.

- Okay.

All right, with passion!

Katie! Are you in here?

Oh, hi.

Um, I want to talk

to you later, okay?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

Dinner!

- Have you seen J.J. and Gary? Do you

know where they are? - Don't know.

I'm a little worried they might have

found out about us. - Hey!

McKinley and Ben!

This is for you.

It's a chaise lounge.

We didn't know if maybe you
