- The grass is always greener. Especially at summer camp.

I mean, camp is the place where you're supposed to be

making perfect memories to last a lifetime.

- But what if you're allergic to grass? (sighing)

- wow. Going on an impromptu safari?

- It's my counsellor-in-training interview, remember?

- Are you sure summer camp is really your thing, baby?

- Yes! What's not to love?

We're gonna stay up all night gossiping in our bunks,

we're gonna make s'mores and wish on shooting stars!

Some cute counsellor boy will hear me sing at the start of camp,

and he'll fall in love with my voice, but he won't know who I am,

so he'll desperately try to find me

until I sing again at the final campfire,

where we'll do a duet and we will live happily ever after.

- Is that the plot from that movie you've watched a million times?

- Loosely. - And you realize

there won't be any jonas brothers at this camp, right?

But you know what there will be?

Mud and bugs, manual labour.

Not exactly your favourite thing.

- Amy and holly love this place, and they're my best friends!

I'll love it! I pretty much have to.

- You're not just doing this to distract yourself

from your recent breakup-- - do not!

Do you not want me to go or something?

- I'm just making sure you really want to do this. It's two whole months!

- Mom, I'm gonna miss you, too, but you won't even be here.

You'll be in paris having your own adventure.

- Well, mostly doing graphic design in some office.

But I showed the team the work you did for holly this year, and they were really impressed.

And they asked if you wanted to come and be an intern for the summer!

- Are you kidding me? - You and me, the streets of paris, baby.

Art, fashion, food, culture...

- That sounds amazing,

but I really don't want to miss out on camp with my friends.

They talk about this place like it's heaven on earth!

(sighing) - okay.

I just thought you should have all the information.

- Thank you, but I have to go. I can't be late. (sighing)

(chuckling) - bye.

(quiet sigh)

(bird-like screeching)

(screeching)

(screeching and laughter) - that's the official camp greeting.

You'll be saying it at least 10 times a day. Why don't you give it a try?

(weak screech) - oh, you're just not quite hitting the screech.

- Don't worry. We'll help you figure it out.

But first, the official grand tour.

Okay, so that is the mess hall, where we'll be having all our magical meals.

Uh, these are the cabins. - Ten people fit in them?

- They're much bigger on the inside. - Big enough for bathrooms?

- No, but the bathrooms are right there. - And where do we shower?

- In the lake, silly! - Did you know that if you don't use shampoo

for about six weeks, your hair will start to clean itself?

- Six weeks? - We're kidding. (laughter)

okay? There's a shower house behind the camp office.

Don't worry, it takes a little getting used to,

but this place can be really magical.

Just wait until you see-- - my ex-boyfriend.

- You didn't know he was coming? - You know what?

It didn't come up when he was stomping all over my heart, but...

If I have my girls, I can do anything.

- Alright, gather 'round,

my little future, potential eaglets.

I am the head counsellor, and today we embark

on the most important flight of your young lives:

Cit tryouts.

This morning we're gonna go through some camp procedures,

and then you'll get right to our skills test.

- There's a test? - Don't worry.

It's easy stuff. It's chipmunk stuff.

- Oh, that's what we call the youngest campers.

- No one's ever failed it. - You'll do fine, come on!

- Okay, is this everything that she asked for?

- I think so? I still can't believe some person loves my jam enough

to hire me to start a jam line for their company in madison.

- How can you watch this? - Sounds like he's doing great.

- Yeah, dad, that's a problem. Because if he gets this job, he's gonna leave.

- No. - Robbie, I'm blown away.

I don't know how to say no to this.

- Oh, maybe. - So do something!

- Like what? - Okay, um...

We'll frame him: I will crash his truck,

and you ground him for life.

(stammering) - listen...

I think it's very sweet that you want your older brother

to stay here, but he's an adult.

It's his decision.

- And... Sent! (mom chuckling)

(sighing)

- fine. Then I'm gonna make this the hardest decision of his life.

(birdsong) - okay, piper, I want you to give me a bowline knot.

(laughing)

- it's knotty and nice. Get it?

- Alright, let's see those muscles!

(grunting)

- yes! (exclaiming)

- whoa, whoa, whoa! - Oh, oh, oh!

(laughter)

(piper): Come on, come on, come on!

- Not gonna keep you warm like that.

- No, no, no, no. (striking match)

yes! (laughing)

I am so glad that is over.

(squealing) - the absolute best part is next!

- What is it, s'mores? Singalong?

- Alright, time for everyone's favourite adventure...

The overnight solo!

- Is she serious?

- Yes! We get to hike out on our own,

cook our own food and sleep under the stars.

- I thought we'd be, you know, sleeping in our cabins

and gossiping in our bunks to get a feel for it.

- Our camp does overnights with the kiddos,

so I gotta make sure you can make it out there on your own

before I let you take a dozen rug rats.

- But I can call my friends if I need anything, right?

- Afraid not. (sighing)

phones in the bucket.

- Goodbye, dear friend.

But, I mean, I'll be okay, right?

- The odds of anything bad happening

are infinitesimally small.

- That's not a yes! - Don't worry.

By this time tomorrow, we will be official cits!

(laughter)

(bird-like screeching and distant response)

(screeching and distant response)

(screeching)

(sighing)

(sighing) - alright, let's do this.

(sighing)

okay.

I guess it doesn't come with instructions.

Okay...

(thunder rumbling)

(sighing)

- okay, I'm on your six. - Behind you.

Got him! Yes! - Yes! Let's go!

- Whoo! You were right, this game rules.

- I told you! We make a great team.

Where you going? - Just to get a drink.

- Sit. Check it.

- Oh! - It's pretty sick.

- Whoa! (laughing)

- and... (robbie sipping)

- gimme some of that! (heather laughing)

this is the greatest night of my life.

- And the best part is, they do these tournaments every Saturday.

So we can do this all year.

- Well, I mean, unless I get that job.

- Right, yeah. That. Um... So don't take it.

- You don't think I should? - Well, if you leave,

you're gonna miss out on a lot around here.

- I guess. I'm not even sure that I want it.

Am I even the type of guy to get a job like that? In an office? In a suit?

I think it's more likely she thinks my business plan is dumb and never responds.

(sighing) - where you going now?

- Unless you got some kind of surprise portable toilet around here...

- Yeah, okay. You...

(buzzing)

"congratulations.

We would love to offer you a job at swardson fine foods."

"thank you for the opportunity...

...But I'll have to decline."

- okay, when does the next round start?

- Uh, 60 seconds. Ready?

- Oh, I could do this all year. (chuckling)

(sighing)

(rustling) (strange sounds)

(strange sounds)

(strange animal sounds)

- nope! Nope! Nope! Big nope! (thunder rumbling)

(panting)

holly?!

Amy?!

(strange animal sounds)

holly?!

Amy!

Holly! Amy?!

Holly? Amy?

(tuneful whistling)

- ah! How'd you sleep? - Like a baby.

Except the good kind, not the kind that wakes up to cry every two hours.

(laughing) - ah, I love it out here.

The fresh air just makes me feel so...

(deep breath)

I really hope that piper loved it too.

Ooh, do you think that we're about to meet "camp piper"?

- Ooh, maybe.

Oh, no.

What do you think happened here? (holly stammering)

- there's no sign of her.

- Maybe she just went to the bathroom.

- Piper?

- Piper!

- Piper! - Piper?

- Piper! - Piper!

(sighing)

amy?

- What's going on?

Something wrong? - We can't find piper.

- There you are. I made you breakfast.

Well, actually dad did, but, um...

I put it on the plate! So...

Looks good, right?

What's wrong? - I feel like such an idiot.

- Um, you'll have to be more specific. - I didn't get the job, alright?

I got a voicemail from the lady saying, "I'm sorry we won't be working together."

- um, well, you weren't sure you even wanted the job anyway.

So, uh, why don't you eat these eggs and then--

- of course I wanted it!

- But you said-- - yeah, I know what I said.

I think just, deep down, I didn't think I was gonna get it.

And I was right.

I don't know why I got my hopes up.

Now all my friends are gonna get real jobs and...

And I'm just gonna be here.

I'm just some idiot screw-up. - You're not.

- Yeah, well, I have a voicemail that says otherwise.

- That isn't what she's saying.

She's saying she's sorry you won't be working together,

because she wanted to give you the job, you just...

Said you didn't want it.

- No, I didn't.

- Not technically.

I kinda did it for you.

She sent an email saying that you got the job, and I saw it,

and I took your phone and I told her no, and then, I deleted all the evidence.

- How could you do that?! - Because I wanted you to stay!

I'm really sorry.

And I'll fix it.

- How? How are you gonna fix it? - I don't know! I just... I will, okay?

I promise.

Please don't hate me.

- Ah! (piper gasping)

what are you doing here?

- My solo trip last night was awful.

And I saw a spider and I was running through the forest and...

I don't know, I ended up here.

- Oh, yeah, camp is, like, 20 minutes that way.

I used to come back for candy all the time.

- Wait, what time is it? - Eight-ish?

- I have to get back to camp before anyone knows I'm gone!

- Didn't you just say it was awful?

- Well, yeah, but... If I don't go,

then everyone will have this awesome time without me,

and I won't understand any of their inside jokes,

and I'll be alone and miserable.

Can you just please drive me back?

- To the exact place where you were just alone and miserable?

I'm just saying, is it really worth it

to go to a place that you think is terrible

just to be with your friends, who actually like it?

- Yes.

(holly): Piper!

Piper!

- Pipes!! - Piper!

- Piper! (sighing)

you guys, I'm starting to get really worried.

I don't know where she could be.

- About 10 feet away.

(exclaiming)

- piper, you're alive!

Uh, hey, robbie!

- I am so sorry.

My fire wouldn't light and something ate my food,

and I... I just couldn't do it all night.

Does everyone know I was gone?

- Sorta one of the drawbacks of having a search party

is that you need everyone's help.

- I really don't want to miss out on camp with you two.

Is there anything I can do to salvage this?

- Maybe you can make up for it during the final interview?

- Okay.

Yeah, tell me everything I'm supposed to say. I'm gonna nail this.

- Thank you for helping me clean up the camp. - Of course.

- Oh, it's gonna be so much fun having my future sister-in-law as a cit this summer.

Hey! Are you trying to sneak a peek at my cit evaluations?

- No!

Okay, yes.

I just want to know if piper made it.

(laughing) - piper?

- Come on. She wasn't that bad.

I mean, she did the skills part okay, right?

- Yeah, and to be honest, she gave an amazing interview.

But the overnight?

I mean, the sheer scale of her failure was impressive.

(sighing)

- I know she... Had a bad night last night.

She'd be a really good counsellor.

Trust your future sister-in-law?

(loud exhale)

- here. It's your favourite.

Chocolate tuxedo cake from the calico.

- To celebrate the fact that you got me my job back?

(sighing)

- I called the lady and I explained what happened,

and I told her how good you'd be,

but, um... She'd already given the job to somebody else.

- Yeah, I know. She told me. Too bad it was too late.

- I'm so sorry, robbie.

I don't know what I'd do here without you.

I mean, holly has her own stuff,

and mom and dad are always so busy,

and I just...

You're my rock, my... My guy. I just...

Can you just please tell me how I can make it up to you?

- I don't know, find some other way I can be successful?

As if that's even possible.

- But you already are successful.

- Ah, true. "everybody is successful

in our own special way," or whatever.

- No, I mean, this lady really wanted you,

because you're already good at making jam.

And she really liked your business plan.

You could really do this!

- On my own?

- No. I want in.

- Mom, you don't have to say that to make me feel better.

- Oh, I'm not, robbie.

I loved your business plan.

In fact, I got a little bit jealous when I realized

that a stranger might get first dibs.

Because... To be honest, I've been looking.

- So, what, we're just gonna try and sell it in stores, in restaurants?

- Yes, your entire plan, all of it.

I even looked into co-signing a small-business loan.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

I mean, if you're looking for a partner.

- Huh. Well, you know what? I think it depends. What's your experience?

- I gave birth to you.

- Okay! You're hired!

- Great. - When can we get started?

- Why don't you take a break tonight

and you can have some cake with your sister?

And then we will dig in tomorrow morning.

- Okay, fine. I'll grab two forks.

But you gotta listen to me brainstorm some new jam-flavour ideas.

- One, I already got 'em.

And two, I could do that all year.

- That's great news, 'cause you're gonna be doing a lot of it

when you're grounded for the next couple of weeks.

(groaning) (mock groan)

partner? - Partner.

- Alright. - Dig in.

- Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah!

- Oh, that was so good. - It is so good.

(sighing) - this is taking forever!

- Don't worry, she's gonna call soon.

- For you guys, maybe. Not for me.

- There are my new eagle creek cits!

You get a hoodie. You get a hoodie.

- Oh! - And you get a hoodie. You all made it!

- I may have put in a good word for you.

- Aren't you all so excited to spend the whole summer at camp? - Go on, put it on!

- Look, I love the idea

of spending the summer with you two.

But every other part of camp I hate with the fire of a thousand suns.

- Oh. - That's... A lot.

- Why didn't you say anything?

- I thought I could learn to love it.

But a wise man made me realize I'd only be doing it for you two, not me.

Okay, fine, it was robbie, but he made some good points.

I can't go to summer camp with you two.

- Are you sure you're gonna be okay here all by yourself?

Actually, I'm going to paris with my mom.

- Paris?! (laughter)

how would you even consider going to camp with us?

- That's how much I love you guys.

I'm sorry, lyla. - Honestly, I'm pretty relieved.

That was one of the worst solos I've ever seen.

But have fun in paris. Bye. (laughter)

(both): Ooh-la-la!

(laughter)

(holly): Just because the grass is greener for others

doesn't mean that it will be for you.

But that's okay. Don't sweat it.

Just go find yourself some different grass.

Or as they call the grass in paris, "le gazon."

(laughing)
