[ Writing ] "IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE

IT'S SUMMER, AND THE WILD RIDE I STARTED LAST SEPTEMBER

WAS NOW OVER.

STILL, AS INTENSE AS THE YEAR HAD BEEN,

IT WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT WENT DOWN

THE LAST FEW DAYS."

Margaret: [ Reading ] "SAY HELLO TO AFRICA FOR ME.

LOVE YOU ALWAYS, MARGARET."

YOU MAY BE A LITTLE PREMATURE, THERE.

I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING YET.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T GO TO THE SAFARI,

YOU CAN ALWAYS BE A COUNSELLOR FOR HORDES OF BRATS

AT CAMP IGOPOGO WITH BEN AND ME.

I'M NOT HELPING, AM I? NOT REALLY.

I STILL HAVEN'T QUITE PSYCHED MYSELF UP

TO SING CAMPFIRE SONGS ALL DAY.

[ Reading ] "RED, I HOPE YOUR SUMMER

IS FULL OF LIONS AND TIGERS

AND MONKEYS, OH MY!

LOVE, BEN."

OH, MAN!

BEN SIGNED YOUR YEARBOOK "LOVE, BEN."

THIS IS SO AMAZING!

YEAH, BUT SO DID RAIN,

AND I DON'T SEE YOU GETTING ALL EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

BECAUSE BEN'S NOT USING IT THE WAY RAIN USED IT.

HE'S USING IT THE:

"I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT US A LOT LATELY

AND I REALLY WANT US TO GET BACK TOGETHER" WAY.

YOU CAN GET ALL THAT FROM ONE WORD? IT'S A GIFT.

SADIE, I'M SORRY.

I TALKED TO THE SAFARI PEOPLE,

AND IT'S A NO-GO.

OH.

I SEE.

THANKS FOR TRYING.

WELL, TRY NOT TO TAKE IT TOO PERSONALLY.

THEY'VE NEVER ACCEPTED A 16- YEAR-OLD BEFORE.

LOOKS LIKE MANSIE BLEW THIS ONE.

RAINBOW! GOOD NEWS.

I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP.

IF IT INVOLVES CONDIMENTS AND COUNTERTOPS,

YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECONSIDER.

NO, AN IMPRESSIONIST.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY ACT ALL DAY.

THIS IS MY IMPRESSION OF MIKE MYERS.

HE'S A NICE GUY

WHO MASKS HIS SHYNESS THROUGH COMEDY.

TA-DA! WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU DO KNOW IMPRESSIONISTS

IMITATE FAMOUS PEOPLE, RIGHT?

AND NOT TELL YOU WHAT YOU THINK OF THEM.

[ Scoffing ] THAT'S OLD SCHOOL.

I'M BRINGING SOMETHING NEW TO THE FORM.

HEY, I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS TOO.

MY PARENTS ARE INVITING YOUR FAMILY

UP TO THE COTTAGE, IN JULY.

NO WAY!

YOU, ME,

AND BLOODTHIRSTY MOSQUITOES?

AND... PLUS, BEN AND MARGARET

ARE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE SAME LAKE.

THIS IS LIKE, WICKED COOL!

HEY, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! [ Squealing ]

IF I DIDN'T SCORE THAT JOB

AT LAURA SECORD GIRLS CAMP,

FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER,

THIS WOULD BE, LIKE, THE BEST NEWS EVER!

WAIT, ISN'T... ISN'T THAT ON

THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF LAKE SIMCOE?

YEPPERS, RAINBOW.

LISTEN, I'VE GOTTA GO WORK

ON MY IMPRESSION OF RYAN GOSLING FOR TALENT NIGHT.

BYE!

DID YOU WANT TO BRING MR. OOKIE-BOOKIE WITH YOU?

SURE, IF I WANT MY NICKNAME TO BE

"SHE WHO BUNKS WITH BOOKIE."

AGAIN.

OKAY, THE WOW IS BOOKED TOMORROW NIGHT

FOR MY LITTLE GIRL'S GOING- AWAY PARTY.

I MISS YOU ALREADY.

IT'S JUST CAMP.

Hal: NO, FATHER MAKES A GOOD POINT.

IT'LL BE A LONELY SUMMER WITHOUT OUR SADIE.

OH, WOE IS ME.

HOW WILL I EVER MANAGE?

HOW, I ASK YOU? HAL,

WHAT'S GOING ON?

ALL THAT'S GOING ON IS ME MISSING THE SWEET,

MELODIC MIX OF YOUR JIBBER

AND THE DELICATE BOUQUET OF YOUR JABBER.

THAT'S RIGHT: THE JIBBER-JABBER,

A SOUND NOTHING ON EARTH CAN REPLACE.

ALTHOUGH, A BIG SCREEN TV MIGHT COME CLOSE.

YOUR DAD AND I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT TAKE YOUR SISTER'S LEAVING HARD.

AWESOME, BECAUSE THE TV'S ON HOLD AT HECTIC HECTOR'S.

IF WE DRIVE...

WE'VE GOT SOMETHING

EVEN BETTER:

A TWO-MONTH FAMILY VACATION!

TELL HIM WHAT HE'S WON, JEAN.

I CERTAINLY WILL, WALTER.

IT'S A FUN-FILLED TOUR OF ALL THAT IS BIG.

THE WAWA GOOSE, THE SUDBURY NICKEL,

THE VEGREVILLE EGG!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

WE'LL BE STOPPING

AT EVERY HISTORICAL SITE ALONG THE WAY.

OH, AND DON'T FORGET THE TECUMSEH CORN FESTIVAL:

CORN AND CORN-RELATED CRAFTS!

[ Moaning ]

[ Weeping ] OH, LOOK.

HE'S OVERCOME WITH JOY.

WHY ARE WE MAKING THESE AGAIN?

BECAUSE CAMP'S ALL ABOUT FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS:

FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS,

GIGANTIC MOSQUITOES,

POISON IVY...

SUMMER ROMANCES.

HEY, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW FOR SURE

IF BEN MEANT ANYTHING BY SIGNING "LOVE".

OH, I'M SURE.

THE ONLY THING I'M NOT SURE ABOUT

IS WHAT YOU WANT IT TO MEAN.

I WANT TO GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT.

BUT YOU HAVE TO SWEAR [ Beeps of speed-dialling ]

NOT TO SAY ANYTHING TO HIM.

HEY, BEN?

UM, SADIE WANTS TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

[ Whispering ] NO, NO, NO, NO.

HI, BEN.

OH... YEAH, UM...

WHAT ARE YOU WEARING TOMORROW?

OH, WELL... WHY?

OH, YOU KNOW, LAST DAY OF SCHOOL,

WE DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT

WEARING THE SAME THING. HUH!

O... OKAY, WELL, UM...

W-WHEN YOU KNOW,

IF YOU COULD JUST LET ME KNOW.

OKAY... BYE.

WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?

TO GET THINGS MOVING.

LOOK, YOU'RE NOT THAT COMPLETE FREAK OF NATURE ANYMORE,

SO QUIT WAITING FOR BEN AND MAKE THE FIRST MOVE.

JUST ASK THE BOY OUT.

PLEASE.

YEAH, I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.

SHOULD I BRING THIS?

SURE!

WE CAN GO SPELUNKING IN RAT'S NEST CAVE. YES!

[ Whispering ] LOOK, I KNOW THINGS ARE HECTIC, HECTOR,

SO I'LL MAKE THIS QUICK.

TAKE THE BIG SCREEN TV OFF HOLD.

MY PARENTS ARE MAKING ME GO ON SOME LAME VACATION.

ASK THEM IF I HAVE TO?

UH, MOM, DAD, CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?

IF IT'S, "DID YOU PACK MY SNORKEL AND MASK?"

THE ANSWER IS "YES"!

YEP, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW.

OH, THAT'S SO NICE. THANK YOU.

HEY, EXCELLENT PENMANSHIP, BY THE WAY.

LET'S GET THIS OVER WITH.

CALL ME PERFECTIONIST, BUT I WON'T BE HAPPY

UNTIL I GET OUR ENTIRE CLASS' SIGNATURES.

EVEN YOURS, HAWTHORNE. HOW SWEET.

LET'S HOPE MY TEARS OF GRATITUDE

DON'T SMUDGE THE PAGE.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

ARE YOU OKAY?

UH... UM, I WAS JUST DECIDING

IF I SHOULD MAKE A HAPPY FACE IN THE "O" OF ALCOTT.

BUT, I DECIDED AGAINST IT.

OH, MY GOSH.

I ALMOST WORE THAT EXACT SAME THING TODAY.

ABOUT THAT...

THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU,

BUT IT WASN'T ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO WEAR.

NO!

I WAS WONDERING...

I WAS... I MEAN, I WAS JUST THINKING...

IF MAYBE YOU'D...

BE INTERESTED IN...

SADIE, GREAT NEWS.

I DECIDED I WAS NOT GOING TO TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.

AND YOU ARE NOW GOING TO AFRICA.

BOO-YA!

MANSIE ENDS THE YEAR ON A HIGH NOTE.

OH, YEAH.

WAY TO GO, RED!

[ Writing ] "SO, IN A FEW HOURS,

MY CAMP GOING- AWAY PARTY

HAD TURNED INTO AN AFRICA OR BUST PARTY.

YEP, READY OR NOT,

I WAS GOING TO AFRICA."

OKAY. OPEN YOUR EYES.

IT'S FROM THE MARGARET BROWNING-LEVESQUE

AFRICAN SAFARI LINE.

SO?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S AMAZING! I KNOW!

I'M SO GOING TO MISS YOU.

OUR FIRST SUMMER APART, EVER.

I WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO.

YEAH, ME TOO.

AS SHE GAINED CONFIDENCE IN HERSELF,

SHE SHED HER SKATER-PUNK PERSONA,

IN FAVOUR OF A MORE SOPHISTICATED STYLE.

LET ME GUESS:

YOUR IMPRESSION OF AVRIL LAVIGNE?

SOMEBODY PUT ME OUT, I AM ON FIRE!

I GOT YOU A PRESENT.

OH, A LITTLE BOX! HOW DID YOU KNOW?

TAYLOR, THE GIFT IS INSIDE.

A LITTLE BOX AND A GIFT?

IT JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER.

OH! A PICTURE OF A PHONE.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A PICTURE OF A PHONE.

THANKS!

NO, IT'S A PHONE CARD.

THAT WAY, YOU CAN CALL PEOPLE THIS SUMMER.

PEOPLE THAT ARE SPECIAL TO YOU...

WICKED! I CAN CALL MY MOM AND MY DAD,

AND MY NONNA AND MY NONNO,

MY CAT, LAMB CHOP.

ISN'T THERE SOMEONE ELSE

YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL?

SOMEONE WITH DARK HAIR,

AND SCORCHING BROWN EYES

AND A GREAT SMILE?

NO, I CAN WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER TO TALK TO FRED.

[ Sigh ] FRED.

RIGHT, THAT'S... THAT'S EXACTLY WHO I MEANT.

OH, AND FOR THE RECORD,

FRED'S EYES ARE BLUE.

OH.

HEY, BUDDY,

WE HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

Jean: IT'S A CONCERT T-SHIRT OF OUR VACATION.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[ Groaning ]

WRONG COLOUR?

NO, I THINK I CAUGHT THE SCURVY THAT'S GOING AROUND.

I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GO ON OUR FAMILY VACATION.

I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, SON

BUT SCURVY ISN'T CONTAGIOUS.

YOU GET IT FROM A LACK OF VITAMIN C.

AND EVEN THEN, YOU'D HAVE TO BE A PIRATE IN THE 1800s.

AAAARGH! MY TIMBERS BE SHIVERING!

WHAT'S GOING ON, CAPTAIN SCURVY?

[ Deep sigh ]

MAYBE I'M JUST SPOILED,

LIVING NEXT TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST WHISK,

BUT I DON'T WANT TO SPEND A SUMMER

DRIVING TO ENORMOUS TOURIST ATTRACTIONS.

WHAT ABOUT PLACES OF INTEREST?

I SEE.

FINE.

TOUR CANCELLED.

Sadie: SO, DO I STILL TELL BEN

I WANT TO GET BACK TOGETHER,

ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'M GOING TO AFRICA?

YES! THIS SO FALLS UNDER THE

"OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND" RULE.

IF YOU'RE A MILLION MILES AWAY

AND BEN DOESN'T KNOW YOU'RE CRUSHING,

HE MAY END UP BY THE BONFIRE

WITH SOME OTHER PRETTY COUNSELLOR.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

BEN IS NOT ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS

WITH ANYONE BUT ME.

GO GET 'EM, TIGER.

HEY, HAWTHORNE.

ARDEN!

YOU DO KNOW THIS IS A GOING-AWAY PARTY

FOR ME, THE GIRL YOU HATE?

YEAH, ABOUT THAT.

I KNOW I WAS HORRIBLE TO YOU THIS YEAR:

TRYING TO STEAL BENJAMIN,

MESSING UP YOUR HIP HOP AUDITION.

DON'T FORGET THE CHOIR YOU HIRED

TO SING "JINGLE BELLS, HAWTHORNE SMELLS".

YOU GOTTA ADMIT, IT WAS CATCHY.

I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT HOW I CAME OFF

UNTIL I SAW YOUR YEARBOOK.

AND YOU SAW WHAT BEN WROTE?

THAT, AND THE FACT THAT EVERY PERSON WHO SIGNED

WROTE SOMETHING NICE AND PERSONAL.

HERE, READ MINE.

[ Reading ] "ARDEN, HAVE A GREAT SUMMER."

"I'LL SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER."

"THANKS FOR NOT PICKING ON ME IN GYM CLASS.

FARE THEE WELL, RON YUMA."

READ WHAT YOU WROTE.

Sadie: [ Reading ] "I HOPE THE JOY OF SUMMER

IS IN YOUR HEART YEAR ROUND.

HAWTHORNE."

ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO I THOUGHT WERE MY FRIENDS,

AND NOT ONE OF THEM WROTE ANYTHING NICE.

AND THEN THE ONE PERSON WHO I THOUGHT WASN'T,

WAS THE NICEST OF ALL.

NEXT YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT.

I'D LIKE THAT.

HEY, MAYBE WE CAN EVEN

WALK TO SCHOOL TOGETHER OR SOMETHING.

OH, SORRY,

MY DAD'S BUYING ME A CAR THIS SUMMER.

I WANT TO BE NICE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WALK TO DO IT.

BON VOYAGE, HAWTHORNE.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Fred: DO YOU KNOW WHY I CALL YOU "PUGGLE"?

BECAUSE YOU'RE A MEAN LITTLE MAN?

NO, BECAUSE IT MEANS "BABY PLATYPUS".

AND THAT'S HOW I USED TO THINK OF YOU.

THIS AWKWARD, LITTLE KID

WHO ALWAYS SEEMED OUT OF PLACE.

YEAH.

EXACTLY THE IMAGE I'M GOING FOR.

I SAID USED TO THINK OF YOU.

YOU'RE A...

COOL KID NOW.

A COOL KID, WHO SHOULD TELL TAYLOR

THAT IF SHE DOESN'T MAKE AN EFFORT TO SEE YOU,

SHE'S MISSING OUT.

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN YOU.

[ Chopping ]

FRED, ARE YOU...

ARE YOU CRYING?

NO, IT'S THE ONIONS.

YOU'RE CHOPPING CELERY.

GET OUT OF HERE, BEFORE I CALL YOU "PUGGLE". SCOOT!

SKIP! SCRAM!

[ Sighing ] PUGGLE.

OKAY, TAYLOR HAS STOPPED DANCING WITH BEN.

AT LEAST... I HOPE IT WAS DANCING.

IF NOT, I JUST MADE FUN OF SOMEONE WHO WAS CHOKING.

COME.

HAL!

HEY, MOM AND DAD SAY YOU'RE NOT GOING ON VACATION.

YEAH, NOW I GET TO SPEND ALL SUMMER AT HOME,

WATCHING THEM MOPE.

I WISH I WAS GOING WITH YOU.

REALLY? WHY?

WHY? BECAUSE IT'S WHERE THEY FILM "MONKEYS & CHEESE".

THAT, AND IT'S... A GAZILLION MILES AWAY FROM WHITBY.

YOU KNOW, YOU AND ME ARE THE SAME THAT WAY.

WE WANT MORE TO LIFE THAN JUST GIANT WHISKS.

ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, YOU'RE GETTING IT.

YOU WILL TOO, SOMEDAY.

I HOPE SO.

HEY, I GOT YOU A BONE VOYAGE PRESENT.

REALLY? YOU DID? MM-HMM. YEAH.

THANKS.

[ Sniffing ] HAL! GROSS!

THAT'S JUST MY WAY OF SAYING "I LOVE YOU".

♪ HOORAY FOR SADIE HAWTHORNE ♪

♪ THE AFRICAN EXPLORER ♪

LOOK, I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW TO SAY THIS,

SO I'M JUST GOING TO COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY IT.

AND I KNOW I HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK,

CONSIDERING WHAT I DID.

BUT BE THAT AS IT MAY, I WAS WONDERING,

HOPING, REALLY,

IF YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE US,

YOU KNOW, YOU AND ME,

ONE MORE SHOT.

IF THAT WAS YOU "JUST COMING OUT AND SAYING IT,"

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE LONG VERSION.

SO DID I JUST RAMBLE FOR NOTHING?

NO.

MOST DEFINITELY NOT.

THIS IS THE POINT WHERE I'D KISS YOU,

EVEN THOUGH WE ALWAYS GET INTERRUPTED.

WELL THEN, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, LANKY PANTS?

Walter: HEY, HEY, THERE SHE IS.

YEAH.

CAN I HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION?

I'M VERY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE

THAT ALTHOUGH SOME OF US HAWTHORNES

MAY NOT HAVE SUMMER PLANS,

AT LEAST ONE OF US DOES.

WOULD YOU JOIN ME IN WISHING OUR SADIE

THE BEST SUMMER OF HER LIFE.

[ Applause/cheering ]

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

IT MEANS SO MUCH THAT YOU GUYS ARE ALL HERE.

IN FACT, IT MEANS SO MUCH,

THAT I'VE DECIDED NOT TO GO TO AFRICA.

[ Mixed murmurs ]

[ ♪♪♪ ]

ANYONE FOR A PIECE OF KENYA?

I WOKE UP EARLY, HOPING I'D HAVE THE HOUSE TO MYSELF

FOR A FEW HOURS."

All: SURPRISE!

AAAH!

[ Whispering ] SURPRISE.

UH... WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE'RE HAVING AN INTERVENTION, HONEY.

AN INTERVENTION?

Walter: YEP.

WE'RE NOT LETTING YOU OUT OF OUR SIGHT

UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO GO TO AFRICA.

LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO GO.

IT'S TOO FAR AWAY

AND IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.

HEY, I COULD GET EATEN BY A LION,

OR SUFFOCATED BY A SNAKE,

OR LAUGHED AT BY A HYENA.

SO, YOU MIGHT AS WELL ALL JUST...

GO HOME.

OF COURSE, HONEY, WHATEVER YOU SAY.

WHO WANTS PANCAKES?

I WOULD LOVE SOME PANCAKES.

[ Expressions of agreement ]

CAN I HAVE FLAPJACKS INSTEAD?

HERE YOU GO, SWEETIE.

ENJOY.

I DOUBT THEY HAVE PANCAKES IN AFRICA.

ACTUALLY, THEY HAVE THE AFRICAN PANCAKE TORTOISE,

SOMETHING OUR DAUGHTER WILL SOON GET TO SEE.

NICE TRY, BUT STILL NOT GOING.

[ Sigh ] THAT'S IT!

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS, YOUNG LADY.

EITHER YOU GO TO AFRICA,

OR YOU'RE GROUNDED.

FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER. MM-HMM.

BUT THAT'S WHAT I WANT;

NOT TO GO TO AFRICA.

[ Sigh ] OH, MY. SO IT IS.

MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH.

IT WAS YOUR IDEA.

MY IDEA, MY FOOT!

Jean: AFRICAN PANCAKE TORTOISE?

I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?

OH, DON'T BE SILLY.

Hal: OKAY, PEOPLE, GATHER 'ROUND!

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO MY LITTLE SISTER.

SADIE, REMEMBER HOW I SAID I WISH I COULD GO TO AFRICA?

WELL, I LIED.

NOT A "NO, I DIDN'T RUB MY FEET ON YOUR PILLOW",

WHICH I ACTUALLY DID KIND OF LIE, BUT STILL A LIE.

I'M NOT READY TO GO SO FAR AWAY.

BUT YOU ARE.

ME? WELL, I STILL HAVE ONE SUMMER LEFT IN ME

TO HANG WITH THE FOLKS

AND SEE HUMONGOUS EGGS AND NICKELS!

[ Chuckles ]

I WOULDN'T MISS IT FOR ALL THE CHANGE IN THE COUCH.

I HAVE A GIFT FOR YOU.

OH, NO.

Rain: TAKE COVER!

Sadie: OH, HAL! GROSS!

WHAT?

NO, NO! IT'S A DIARY.

[ Sighs of relief ]

Hal: SO YOU CAN WRITE ALL ABOUT YOUR SUMMER.

IT EVEN HAS A LOCK,

SO SNOOPY BROTHERS CAN'T READ IT.

THANKS, HAL.

THIS WILL REALLY COME IN HANDY

WHEN I WRITE ABOUT...

CAMP IGOPOGO.

All: WHAT?

IF IT ISN'T LITTLE MISSED OPPORTUNITY.

I THOUGHT YOU WOULD GET THIS.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SAID

"I WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO."

HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU ABOUT THE "16th SUMMER" RULE?

IS IT ANYTHING LIKE THE "14th FALL" RULE?

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

THERE'S ONLY ONE SUMMER WHEN YOU'RE 16,

AND FOR YOU, THIS IS IT.

AND NOBODY SHOULD TELL YOU HOW TO SPEND IT.

ALL THEY CAN DO IS HOPE THAT YOU SPEND IT

IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE,

IN A WAY THAT YOU'LL REMEMBER FOREVER.

HOW COULD I LEAVE A FRIEND

WHO GIVES ME SUCH GOOD ADVICE? NO!

I MEANT THAT YOU SHOULD GO TO AFRICA.

THAT'S HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER YOUR SUMMER.

[ Sigh ]

[ ♪♪♪ ]

I CANNOT BELIEVE SADIE'S SUCH A CHICKEN.

SO YOU DON'T SEE YOUR FRIENDS FOR A COUPLE MONTHS.

NO BIGGIE.

IS YOUR HEART MADE OF STONE?

NO, JUST MUSCLE TISSUE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S.

WHY? I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE.

IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN CARE

WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE EACH OTHER ALL SUMMER.

LOOK, IF YOU DON'T SAY WE'LL SEE EACH OTHER, THEN...

WE'RE THROUGH. THAT'S RIGHT, THROUGH!

[ Giggle ]

WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S AN OAR, SILLY.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE ME, JUST PADDLE ON OVER.

YOU DO KNOW HOW TO PADDLE,

DON'T YOU, RAINBOW?

JUST DIP YOUR OAR IN THE WATER, AND ROW.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?

[ Clearing throat ]

[ Exhaling/sniffing ]

HE'S A BOY WHO FORGETS

HIS GIRLFRIEND IS SO BATTY OVER HIM,

SHE ASSUMED THEY'D SEE EACH OTHER EVERY NIGHT THIS SUMMER.

MY IMPRESSION OF RAINBOW PAPADAKIS.

[ Confused clapping ]

THAT WAS AN IMPRESSION, YEAH.

SADIE, IF THAT PLANE TO AFRICA LEAVES THE GROUND

AND YOU'RE NOT ON IT,

YOU'LL REGRET IT.

MAYBE NOT TODAY,

MAYBE NOT TOMORROW,

MAYBE NOT EVEN THE DAY AFTER.

MAYBE NOT EVEN THREE DAYS AFTER THAT.

BUT SOON,

AND FOREVER AFTER THAT.

YOU WILL REGRET IT.

NOW, I DOUBT I'VE TOTALLY CONVINCED YOU AND I'M SORRY,

BUT RIGHT NOW,

I'VE GOT A GIRL TO KISS.

YOU'RE RIGHT, AND...

GO FOR IT.

Man: [ On megaphone ] MOVE YOUR LIPS AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER.

I REPEAT, MOVE YOUR LIPS AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER.

[ Mixed laughter ]

[ Blasts of siren ]

HEY, RED.

A LITTLE LATE TO BE LAZING AROUND IN YOUR PYJAMAS.

HA-HA.

I NEED TO KNOW ONE THING.

DOES YOUR DECISION HAVE ANYTHING TO DO

WITH US GETTING BACK TOGETHER?

NO.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO LET DOWN

ALL THOSE LITTLE IGOPOGOS.

WELL, MAYBE A BIT.

DO YOU KNOW WHY I TAKE PICTURES?

BECAUSE YOU WANT A CAREER IN BLACKMAIL?

NO.

BECAUSE MY MOM USED TO BE A PHOTOGRAPHER.

THIS CAMERA USED TO BELONG TO HER.

I GUESS SHE FIGURED SHE WASN'T GOING TO SEE

EVERYTHING IN LIFE SHE WANTED.

SHE GAVE ME THE CAMERA

SO I COULD SEE IT FOR HER.

EVERY TIME I TAKE A PICTURE,

I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING IT FOR HER, YOU KNOW?

I GUESS THAT'S WHAT PHOTOGRAPHY IS TO ME;

TAKING PICTURES OF THINGS

PEOPLE MAY NEVER GET TO SEE.

THAT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS, BEN?

BECAUSE...

I KNOW WHAT CAMP IGOPOGO LOOKS LIKE.
