" Phlurm, what the hell are you doing?" "I'm gonna talk you through the process." "A little service Wigwam provides... to help the customers better understand the car wash experience."

"You get... chicken breasts with lemon." "Now write that down." "Pizza in fat camp." "What a dope!" " [Kids Laughing]" " Check the Barney."

"This whole camp was my idea." "But nobody listens to me, you know." "I mean, everybody hates me." "Everybody does not hate you." "No, just everybody in camp and all the girls." "Girls don't hate you." "You think girls hate you?" " Gaby, I'm a geek." " You're not a geek." "Morris..." "Gaby, look, I'm a geek." "All right?" "It's okay for boys to be geeky." "For a girl, it's different." "I could wind up wearing a hairnet and serving Jell-O in a cafeteria." "No, that won't happen, because tons of girls start out... lumpy." "But, uh, I mean, that'll all change." "You'll lose a little bit of weight." "Then you'll start to grow some... chests." "And then you'll be, I don't know, going out with guys that hang me up by my underwear." "Oh, I can hardly wait." "Let's make an oath, okay?" "When we get cool, neither of us will go out with those kind ofjerks, okay?" "Who will we go out with?" "Each other." "I mean, ex-geeks like us." " Because we'll be cool." " Okay." "Deal."

"So, is that less than your cholesterol-free Dutch Gouda back there?" " I'll have to check." " [Man] And a lactic acid, salt..." "Gotcha, Van Welker." " Ready for dinner, son?" " Ready, Dad." " All right." "Hand-held video game, downstage on the couch." " Yeah." "Mitt and comic books here." " Galactic Gladiator." "Whose are those?" " They're mine." "You read comics?" "I thought you were a 62-year-old in a kid suit." "Yeah, well, I have to hide 'em when I'm at home." "If my dad sees 'em, he'll say somethin' stupid like, "You're too smart to read comics."" "Remember, Mud, just 'cause you're smart doesn't mean you can't act stupid." "It's your constitutional right, young man." "Okay." "[Claps Hands] For tonight's menu... chicken, lima beans!" "Lima beans?" "Ha." " Sorry, I don't eat lima beans." " Sorry, pal." "It's our green vegetable." "We gotta convince the lovely doctor that your daddy... is taking good care of you, Morris." "The reason I came to camp was to get away from computers and lima beans, so forget it!" " [Horn Honking]" " I'm not gonna eat it." " I don't have time to argue." " Too bad." " How 'bout a buck a bean?" " What?" "One dollar for every bean you eat." "Ten beans, ten bucks." " No." " Come on!" "That's more than the government pays farmers..." " not to grow 'em." " Fine."

" 64." " Yeah, it's great." "Just don't fill up on those things, Morris." "We've got ice cream for desert." " I got plenty of room." " Slow down, Morris." " 70!" " I'd hate to see you choke." "I'll get the ice cream." " He's a really great kid." " Yeah." " You get a lot of help from his grandparents?" " I, uh..." "He had a great relationship with my father." "But, uh, Dad died a couple of years ago." "I'm sorry." "Mud, you must miss your grandpa, huh?" "Uh, yeah, but he promised to take me fishing next fall." "I haven't had the heart to tell him yet." "[Whispering] That's not healthy, Dennis." "I know." "I know." "Soon." "[Radio Playing "Linger"]" "You got a stomachache or something?" "Hungry?" "Are you homesick?" "Hey, you can help me clean this carburetor." " We'll play poker!" " Can we make a necklace?" "You want me to make a necklace?" "Okay, a necklace it is." "This kind of necklace?" "All right." "Why don't you take this back to your cabin... pick out the ones you like and tomorrow we'll make me a necklace." "[Chuckling] Thanks, Zack." "[Continues]" "That was really sweet, Zack." "Yeah." "You know, if you wore a skirt right now, I'd be in heaven." "Tres immature, don't you think?" "Yeah." "Sorry I'm not mature enough for you." "And her dad was a surgeon." "And he's wiped out." "I think we should put him to bed." "Which room is his?" "Um, that one." "I gave him the big one." " Need help?" " No, no, no, no." "It's okay." " I got it." " Okay." "So, anyway, his dad was a surgeon." "I was the rebel and became a general practitioner." " Are you sure I can't help?" " Oh, no, you stay there." " Pour yourself some more wine." " Okay." "[Grunts]" "He sure loves his room." " So you're really gonna drop out, huh?" " Yeah." "Probably." "Yeah, well, I've thought about dropping out." "And then, you know, go back and get my degree later." "That's what Drew Barrymore did." "Yeah, but you can't drop out!" "I mean, who'd sing "The Greatest Love of All" at assembly?" "Don't remind me." "Yeah, it must be hell being the most popular person in our grade." " Yeah, you should know." " Nah." "People don't really like me." "They're just afraid of me." "Yeah, well, I'm not afraid of you." " You're not?" " Nope." "'Cause you're not that big." "And you're not as bad as you want everyone to think you are." "Yeah, well, I'm not afraid of you either!" "[Dennis] The only question on the final was, what didn't you learn in this class?" " Cool!" "That's great!" " Yeah." " So why did you quit?" " Huh?" "Teaching, I mean." "Uh, I, uh... don't know."

"I'll be a full-time adult." "Oh?" "Like you were a full-time drama teacher?" "And Mud's father?" "Well, the father part... was... a stretch... but the teacher, the free spirit... the sexual dynamo, that's me." "I bet you don't even like lima beans." "Celeste... do you really think I'd let anything happen to these kids?" "There's two weeks left in the summer." "I'll let you examine every one of them." "They're not criminals."

"You want him to pound me?" "You're not gonna let this pygmy tell you what to do, are you?" "That's what he's been doing all along." "This whole camp was Mud's idea."

"Mr. And Mrs. Himmel... how much weight did your son actually lose?" "Dennis, they're coming after you, the cops!" "The moms are going crazy and the kids are getting worried!" " Whoa-oh, slow down!" " What are we gonna do?" "Mud, I can't speak for "we." I can only speak for "me."" "And "me" is getting out of here just as fast as my Goodyear radials can go." "Dennis, this is serious." "Yes, a lot more serious for me than for you." "You're a kid!" "What can they do?" "Spank you?" "Ground you?" "If they ground me, Mud... it's gonna be in a concrete room... with a vertical bar motif and a 200-pound fiance named Duke." " Dennis, you can't just leave." " Mud, it's gonna be okay." "Here's what you do:" "Get lost, vanish into the woods for five, six hours." "When you show up, they'll be so glad you hadn't been eaten by bears... they'll let the other stuff slide." " I guess." " Guaranteed!" "It'll be like a movie-of-the-week!" "Okay." "Mud, sit down." "[Sighs] I'm sorry things didn't work out, Mud." "Sometimes the windmill of the gods... casts us up to the stars." "Sometimes it flings us down into the dirt." "Au revoir... mon ami." "See ya." " Hey, Mud." " Dr. Dunbar." "How come you're not at camp?" " Camp's over." "We got busted." " Yeah, I know." "Where's Dennis?" "The police are looking for him." "I mean, if they catch him..." "He'll be held responsible." "So, let me guess." "He took off." "So, what are you doing here?" " Uh, I thought I'd hang out in the woods for a while." " Right." "Till your parents were so worried they wouldn't think about punishing you." "Something tells me that wasn't your idea." "Been planning this for five, six years." "The camp idea was perfect!" "Find kids with access to cash... get 'em away from their parents, lots of junk food." "Win their confidence, then start with the religious indoctrination." " He didn't take off." " No, I guess he didn't." "His title was "Most High And Holy Worship."" "Rama Sri Havagnoli." " That's H-A-V-A..." " Nice try, Dennis." "Look, you guys... this whole thing wasn't his idea;" "it was my idea." " [Sighs]" " Ah, yes." "The Himmel child, very gullible." "He fell hook, line and sinker." "Show 'em your tattoo, Mud." "Okay, Dennis, you can drop it." "Look, if it was your idea, where's the money?" "Ah, yes, it's hidden." "In my sock?" "Look, Officer, l-l-I don't know what's going on... b-b-but I know my Morris is a good boy..." " Dad, you don't know." " He's too smart to get involved in anything." "Dad, just 'cause I'm smart doesn't mean I can't act stupid!" "Well, if Mud's guilty, I am too." "Me too." "I'm smart enough to act stupid." "Yeah, and I'm stupid too!" "Well, you know what I mean." "I can't believe nobody's pressing charges." "This guy's gonna walk." "Not necessarily." "He still owes me 2,800 bucks in penalties." "Who do I see about gettin' a bench warrant?" "Excuse me, Mr. Polk." "About the money Dennis owes you, I think this will cover it." " You're a little short." " Well, you're a little fat." "If you sue him, what are you gonna get, a couple Winston Churchill albums?" " Please?" "Come on." " I could write it off against expenses." "T.R. Polk retires with a perfect record." "[Mr. Himmel] Hey, Mud!" " If you're ever in Boca, don't look me up." " I'll do that." " Guess I messed up pretty bad, huh?" " You messed up big time." "Anyway." "I, uh, I brought you something." " [Chuckles] Galactic Gladiator?" " September issue." " He battles the, uh, Jupiter Squad." " Yeah." " Cool!" " Yeah, it is pretty cool. [Laughing]" "By the way, you're grounded until you're 30." "Yeah, I know." "Heh-heh-heh-heh." " [Horn Honking]" " Hey, Mudster." "What do you think of my new wheels?" "Hey, it looks great!" "Zack, you're giving away your new car?" "Just till I graduate." "Zack, you're not dropping out?" "Gotta be there for "The Greatest Love of All."" "[Dennis] Hey, Mud!" "Dennis!" "Well, Mud, I hope you've learned something from all this." " Yeah, I probably did." " Good." " When you figure it out, you will let me know, won't you?" " Mm-hmm." " It was a great summer, Dennis." " I kind of enjoyed it too." "Thanks." "Your parents okay about all this?" "Yeah, my dad's just glad I didn't get arrested, you know?" "Wouldn't look good on my college application." "Now all they have to worry about is coming up... with $20,000 a year to send you there." "$20,000?" "You see, Mud..." " you really do have..." " Potential?" " Maybe next summer." " I'll call you." " Trish?" " Oh, hi, Daddy." "Don't you think that Zack should wait here for his own parents?" "Uh, couldn't he ride with us?" "Please?" " Come on, Zack." " Sure, Mitch." "Hey, Mud." "Well, thanks for a great summer." " Ow!" "Wha..." " You promised!" "Only ex-geeks." "I know, I know." "I'm... sorry." "Well... bye." "Bye." " Dennis!" " Huh?" "I'm just proud of him, that's all." "Tough to watch my boy grow up, though." " [Out Of Breath] Uh, bye." " Bye." " I'll see you." "Bye." " Bye." " Bye!" " Bye." "Adios." " Bye, Dr. Dunbar." " Bye, Mud." "[Rock Guitar]" "["Summertime Blues"]" "Walter!" "What?" "Walter, I've been thinking." "You know, you're a big talker... but do you have the guts?" "W-W-What are you talking about?" "Well, Walter... everyone else is at the other end of the beach." "Do... you have... the guts?" "[Squeaky Voice] Whoa!" "Yes!" "Gee, Walter... you really do have the guts." "Just not an extra bathing suit." "Betty?" "Betty!" "Betty?"
