RV Page #5

Synopsis: The executive Bob Munro is stressed, feeling threatened of losing his job and his lifestyle, since his abusive boss Todd Mallory hired the Stanford's geek Laird to work in their soda's company. Bob has promised his wife Jamie Munro, his teenage daughter Cassie Munro and his young son Carl Munro to spend vacations in Hawaii, but Todd demands him to prepare a presentation and attend a business meeting with the owners of a family company in a merging operation scheduled in the same period. Bob hides the truth to his family, rents a recreational vehicle and tries to convince his dysfunctional family that a road trip to the Colorado Rocky Mountains would be good to bring old values back to their family. After many incidents and while in the trailers parking area, the rookie Bob is helped by the bizarre but friendly Gornicke family. They escape from the Gornickes and initiate a journey of difficulties and leaning, retrieving their forgotten family bonds.

Carl!

Carl, we're coming!

Bob!

Mom!

Jamie!

Bob!

Table for four. No smoking.

Wipe your feet.

See? That's why you should study.

So you can get good grades

and go to a big party school.

Hey, Dad, how come you never

got a pool table for the house?

Because of the generalissimo

over there.

We had one before you were born,

in the dining room...

...but then you get a job,

invite people for dinner...

- ... you have a family...

- Life used to be fun.

It was fun. But then something

happened that was a lot more fun.

We got the George Foreman

smokeless grill.

Okay.

It's fine. Let's just go to sleep.

Dad.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, great, you're up.

Will you make the coffee?

- Love to.

- Thank you.

Do you want me to drive?

- You okay, Dad?

- Oh, yeah.

Dad, emergency!

Gornickes.

I'll get their computer.

I feel like that hitchhiker

in The Twilight Zone.

What do they like about us?

We're not even that appealing.

I'm not gonna spend my life...

...going door to door,

selling musical car horns.

- The Gornickes. I'll flag them down.

- Cassie!

She got him.

Munros!

Bob! Jamie!

It's the Gornickes.

- Pretend to talk to me.

- Oh, yeah.

Pull over! We've got your stuff!

Munros. It's the Gornickes.

Pull over. We have your computer.

And a Happy Max bag.

Pull over.

Kids, grab your paint guns.

Pull ahead.

We'll put one across their bow.

You know, seeing you drive this thing

is really turning me on.

What?

They've got guns!

We've also got -

You can come up now.

Where did you learn

to drive like that?

How do you think

I get the kids to school on time?

What a shame. If we had their address,

we could just ship it to them.

Well, we do know

where they're headed.

Mount Watson, Colorado.

You know,

if you wore clothes that fit...

- ... you wouldn't look like a 10- Year - Old.

- It's how I roll.

Oh, sweet.

You say something, Frodo?

I was just saying

how that guy Shaq'd you there.

- We got two - On - Two, right?

- Why don't you find...

...an under - 2- Foot league.

Why don't you trade that thing in

on top of your neck for a face.

I'm gonna floss your rear.

- Let's go, bring it. Come on.

- Yo, my mobile homeboys.

- What's tripping in the wood?

- This termite belong to you?

- Don't call -

- Yo, my man - Easy.

This my man, C.

He's small, but ferocious.

But you dogs, you're hardcore.

Where you from?

- Scottsdale.

- Scottsdale, in the 'Zona.

That's a hardcore 'hood.

But you want to take on

my man C, here...

...go ahead, because, you know...

...he's fierce,

he gonna come up in your face...

...he'll damage you.

You gonna walk away, maybe limp.

But I say talk to the hand, call waiting,

because he's out. Boy is out.

I can't restrains him. Because

I'm conversating you right now...

...to give him a chance to cool down,

to get back to a realistic level...

...as we were. Because we could be

chilling in our crib.

Not just on this mobile home thing,

representing Malibu...

...and Westwood, you know.

Malling it, like we all can.

Boys to mensch.

Pimp my Mercedes, call me back...

...put you on hold.

You know what I'm saying?

We gotta go.

You better, man. Don't make me

call my lawyer, because I'll audit.

Aren't you glad Dad came?

They were about to kick your butt.

Carl.

That's not helpful. Carl.

Carl.

It occurs to me that you and I

haven't had too many...

...7th Heaven kind of dialogues

in the last year.

- You're busy a lot.

- Yeah, but not too busy to notice...

...that you are sensitive

about your size.

I'll bet you $1000 right now

you'll grow up bigger than me.

I've seen pictures of you when you

were my age. You were huge.

- You were shaving already.

- Yeah, well, that's my point.

See, I achieved maturity very early.

I stopped growing

after the eighth grade.

But you have the other body type.

You're like my friend John Vigoshi.

When he was 16,

he had a 9- Inch summer.

How do you mean that?

He grew very tall, very quickly,

and so will you.

And you're being proactive.

You're lifting weights.

And when you grow up big,

you know what we'll do?

What?

We'll enter father - Son

extreme - Fighting competitions.

- All right.

- You'll have to push the wheelchair.

But we'll get them high,

and we'll get them low.

Coming at you a little heat right now.

Give me a little heat there.

A little heat. A little pepper there.

Hike! All right.

What's up?

Kids, dinner's gonna be a little late

because -

Sorry. False alarm.

- The buzzing is not me.

- Bob.

- Hello.

- Before you hang up on me again...

...we need to talk.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you very well.

Signal. No, no. Yeah.

Hold on one second. The signal.

Just a - Can you hear me now?

- Hey, Todd. Did you get the proposal?

- Not bad.

My Laird didn't like it very much.

- Who cares what Laird thinks.

- I do. He's young, Bob.

We'll talk about it tonight

on the plane.

- No.

- No?

I flew in last night. It's a mile high here

and I want to get acclimated.

You don't wanna have a nose bleed

in a presentation.

Could be a little embarrassing.

So I'll see you there. Here.

Mom, he's suffering.

Honey, can I help?

No, honey.

No, don't come down here.

Boy, I'm just gonna try

and clean up a little -

Don't use bark.

These are great.

Yeah, there it is. That does the trick.

Ferns. Nature's broom.

Honey, no. You can't go on like this.

It's 10 miles.

No,

i don't wanna spoil it for you guys.

- You won't. We'll go tomorrow.

Tomorrow we go to the lake.

Listen, I'll stay here. You go on.

Come on, kids.

Yeah? Okay.

Good.

I'll try and make it back to the RV.

In 1985, Pure Vibe soda completed

a friendly takeover...

...of Mr. Twinkle Iced Tea.

Today, Mr. Twinkle is worth...

...an estimated $91 million.

And that was with a profit definition

not as favorable...

...as the one Pure Vibe is offering...

...alpine Soda.

If you turn to chart number one -

Sorry, is this just gonna be

about money?

No, it's - Stocks.
