recognize the signs

of a possessive male.

They should having a

big red warning light

screwed into their

foreheads flashing

beware, beware!

That would make it

easier, wouldn't it,

you could see them a mile away.

Beep-hoop, beep-hoop, beep-boom!

And yet there are things

that I like about him.

When we're alone,

he's soft and tender.

I don't know, it's so confusing.

Tell me about it.

They chase you 'til

you're half dead,

get you, then try

to get rid of you.

Personally, I don't care

which way they want it,

only make up your mind.

You've had an

interesting life, Stacy.

Boring Betsy.

I'm looking forward

to finding me one man,

and I'm gonna stay put.

Anybody special in mind?

A couple.

I didn't say I wanted

to stay put that fast.

But my past is no secret to you.

Listen, Stacy, I

want to thank you

for having an ear to

listen and a shoulder

to cry on, there were

times I needed it.

Okay, enough

hearts and flowers.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

I just wanted to

check and make sure.

Thanks, I feel better.

You know Betsy,

I don't have many

women friends, and I

think you're one of them.

Well I am.

Hey, give me your

number in the city, huh?

Yeah, tomorrow.

Better hurry, we got clean

up in a couple of minutes.

See you later.

' - Bye bye. - ' Bye.

Hey Max, is your

offer of 100 bucks

to anyone who can pull this

axe out of here still good?

Yeah, it's still good!

Come on, Max, give me a hand,

let's get this axe outta here!

Come on, Dippy, give us a hand!

Oh, let it go, TP.

We lost, there'll

be another time.

Maybe, but I don't like losing.

Losing, winning,

what's the difference?

Play the game with a fair heart

and you'll always be able

to look yourself in the mirror.

Play too hard to win, and you

might not like what you become.

You become a winner.

That's what you become.

Dippy, it's empty-

- I don't see Richie anywhere.

He must have stayed

back at the campfire.

What are we gonna do?

Make up his bed

like he's sleeping.

We got to give him

more time to get back.

Richie knows what he's doing.

I'll make this short and sweet.

Thanks, now I'll never stop.

I think you all

contributed something

to the growth of the

people as individuals

and the kids in

general that will

stay with them the

rest of their lives.

Yeah, they'll never go

out in the woods alone.

Ever again.

Max, I'd like to say

something about the campfire.

Sure, Betsy.

I know how you

enjoy telling stories

around a fire, and I

don't wanna ruin it,

but I'm concerned

with the effect

it has on the

younger ones, they're

in tears by the time it's over,

I don't think it's

good for them.

That's a good point,

I never thought of that.

I don't have any objections to

excluding the younger

kids from the campfire.

Next year, I'll

scare the hell out

of only the older

ones, okay, Betsy?

I like to keep my staff happy.

Within reason of course.

All right, I'm

going into town to

pick up the shutters

from Sunny's

and play some cards,

anybody need anything?

Yeah, but you ain't

gonna find it at Sunny's.

Down, girl.

You'll be back in the

big city in a day or two.

You can get anything

you want there.

Hold it, I'm getting a bit

too old for this kind of talk.

I'm leaving.

Bye, Max.

Oh, before I

forget, that beer you

got hidden in the bottom of the

refrigerator against orders...

Save me one.

I'll be back in a

couple of hours.

Keep a sharp eye on the kids.

TP, you're in charge!

I'd like to get into

something a bit more personal.

Tonight, you all

witnessed a scene

between Betsy and me

up at the campfire

that should have never happened.

I'd like to publicly

apologize to Betsy

and to the rest of

you for subjecting

you to my petty and

selfish attitude.

That's it, folks.

I propose a toast.

- Yeah.

- Well the man wants

a toast, so be it.

To friends and friendship.

To love, and lovers.

May you always have

more than you need.

If you're gonna ask

Why is this Why is that

It's up to you

And if you wanna know

Just why the flowers grow

That's okay too

But if you're gonna ask me why

I love you like I do

I don't think I can explain

Got no words to say it

Really rather

play it out with you

Only know the feelings

Chemistry revealing

this simple truth

Should you feel it too

Please let your

feeling through

Love, get a grip on us too

Don't need words to know

Don't need words to know

How I feel about you

Don't need words

Magician does his magic

Thrills you with a slick trick

You never know

Just how he makes it happen

Find yourself just

clapping and feeling good

Should the magic get you high

No need to wonder why

Come with me, together

Let's count all

the stars in the sky

Don't need words to know

How I feel about you

Don't need words

Don't need words

I was right in the middle,

you didn't let me finish.

Please,

You men are all alike!

Where am I?

Damn.

Okay, girl, let's go.

You can do it.

Up, I said go, yes!

Up.

Pbbbt!

Great fire, Bill.

Thanks.

I love to feel the

flames devour the wood.

Who says there's no

beauty in destruction?

I don't think there's beauty

in any kind of destruction.

For any reason.

I'd say that

depends on the reason.

For as long as our

reason stays reasonable.

That's the most frightening

thing about us humans.

You never really know what's

in my mind at any given time.

You never know if I'm thinking

rationally, or if I've

created some other reality.

That seems to fit, that

seems to be normal.

But you never really know

what normal is to me.

You never really know.

Dave, are you okay?

Of course, Ellie.

I'm letting my emotions

overcome my intellect.

See what happens?

See how easy it is to

question another human mind?

I can judge by

your faces there's

a question about me.

A touch of fear in your eyes.

Who is this man, where

does he come from?

I could take your

bodies, one at a time,

and hide them so no one

would ever find them.

I could...

Chop off your heads!

Jimmy, can you, can

you tell me anything

about where Richie

the wise guy is?

Okay, get back to sleep.

Nobody leaves this cabin.

That's an order.

I'm gonna try and find him.

Why don't you get.

Bill and Dave to help?

I lost him, it's my

responsibility to find him.

So dark out there, more

people looking the better.

Don't worry, I'm just gonna

take a quick look,

if I don't find

them I'll be back in

awhile to get the others.

You wait in the

office and stay awake.

Yes, sir!

TP...

Be careful.

TP?

Nothing, it's okay, be careful.

Were you serious about

what you said this afternoon?

Did it shock you that much?

No, I only want you to be sure

of leaving school and me.

I told you, I love you.

I wanna be with you.

Anymore doubts?

No.

No more doubts.

Great moon tonight,

eh, Billy boy?

Yeah, great moon tonight.

Yeah.

Let's go for a swim.

I have a better idea.

Richie!

Richie!

Richie!

Richie?

That you, Richie?
