Give me a new hot dog,

or I'll call the police.

- Give the child a new hot dog.

- You do not know the brats.

We are hungry, put a little speed.

- It was a close thing.

- No. Here are your clothes.

It smells pretty good.

Do I look like one of them now?

Yes, unfortunately.

Come on.

Did you take the pants on?

Did you?

They were still hot.

I could not do it.

Hers was the clean.

You said they smelled good.

What are you laughing at?

Pull your pants up, however.

Come on!

Should we glue their shoes to the floor?

- That I tried with laces.

- It is also fun.

We can pull their pants up

a flagpole.

Why are boys such

a childish humor?

- Because it's fun.

- No.

Moving on!

Hallo!

Stop it!

- The stole my 25-cents!

- You get a new one!

I go to the bathroom.

Hello.

Thank you for your help.

- What should we do?

- I will not be back again.

We must get away from here.

Come up the bus.

Now, not so much nonsense.

Come on!

Come on, everybody!

Hurry!

Moving on!

I'll start here.

Have you seen these children?

- Why are you sitting in our seats?

- Yes, move it.

- Come on.

- We wait.

Wait a minute.

Let them sit there.

I got this. I must take some

others places, the two stay here.

Sit down so we can run.

- Get out.

- Thank you.

- Let's run, Chuck.

- I have two too many.

If any of you have been

with the other bus?

It's not that hard.

Should anyone run with the other bus?

It's probably two of us.

Yeah, but come on!

It is you who slows us down.

It is several hours ago,

I spoke to her. Where is she?

- She can be bolted.

- Stung by?

Mr. Russell, she is 12 years old. She was

Their responsibilities. That you understand it?

Of course. I'm just so worried

for your daughter who you are.

She said,

that she would go back to camp?

No, not in the words.

I said I would come

to visit the weekend on Saturday.

I understand.

She's not coming before on Saturday?

Are you saying that this is my fault?

- They do not panic.

- I am in a panic!

She came here

to have fun and make new friends.

We develop the children's

social characteristics -

- But a strong, young woman

created at home, not at a camp.

- Tell me what happened.

- Not all children thrive in the beginning.

The others mistakenly thought

they could improve your daughter -

- By placing her

in a situation where she understood -

- That we're just people.

"Improve" my daughter?

What the hell are you talking about?

- They left her on an island.

- Leaving behind the her?

They thought enough not evil

with it.

We are accustomed to jokes

about redheads, but this ...

- It is criminal.

- I put even a stop to it.

But some traditions die hard.

I was a goat.

- What?

- At camp.

The island is called Gedeen.

I was left, and ...

And ...

I was a goat. At first I was afraid,

but everything went fine.

There, you see.

We must find her, you understand that?

It should be right now.

Sheriff and police and other

authorities cooperate -

- To find your daughter.

I understand how it feels.

No, you do not.

I would have been in the space camp.

Why did you do it?

Mother would not let me

go to Houston alone.

We need to NASA together later.

- Want to be an astronaut?

- I think so.

I want to fly so high that I can

monitors the ground with his thumb.

Silly, is not it?

No, not at all.

The boys go to the right.

Follow Vince.

Girls left.

Follow ms. Higgins.

- We can not be separated from each other.

- We run away.

Here you go.

Always leave, like you know,

what you're doing.

- Take all of your belongings.

- Over here.

What are you doing?

Why are you out in the woods?

Take it easy!

- We should tell mr. Carlson it.

- No, do not.

- Where are you going?

- To our camp.

- Where is it?

- Near.

It will be dark soon.

There are wolves and bears in the woods.

- She is scared.

- We are not afraid.

They may well sleep here tonight?

No one knows anything.

They even our camp shirts.

It's okay.

But Susie Burns'd be mad.

- We must stay together.

- It can not.

- Boys and girls sleeping separately.

- We should go back.

Who are they?

- Do not you know?

- I have not seen them before.

They are our friends.

It's Bonnie and her brother Clyde.

Come on.

- Tiwanda who is that?

- She must sleep here.

- There are not enough beds.

- She's my guest. It is Susie Burns.

- In whose bed she should sleep?

- I min.

- We will have trouble.

- No, Susie, for you know nothing.

Well?

It's only in the night, Susie.

You must choose bed first.

Okay.

Your hair is tangled.

Want to borrow my comb?

Thank you.

Excuse me.

- Is everything all right?

- Yes.

We have to sleep here. It is already dark,

and we do not know where we are.

- Tomorrow we stabs of.

- Yes.

Sit down.

We have a couple of points

and then you can start to have fun!

No, I sent her away

to work in peace.

What? We agreed,

that this was good for her.

Yes, it's a great cause.

So what?

That's why we drive

Houston afterwards -

- So she can visit NASA.

David, you are her father, and you know

not that she likes space.

She keeps more of the other planets than

of it here, and I understand her well.

No, I do not know why she did not

called you and your new wife.

I'll call when I found her.

- Come on, let's dance!

- I dance badly.

Come on, Clyde!

Hi, Bonnie.

You and me, okay?

Let me be your.

Now we dance.

- I do not know ...

- Come on. I will not bite.

Come here.

Relax.

It's just a kiss.

Here comes the Clyde. I just said,

that Bonnie needs a real man.

- She did.

- There is only one real man here.

And I need a mirror

to see him.

- Bonnie, that fool to go.

- Shut up!

Clyde, shut your trap,

before I shut it for real.

I'm not talking about you,

I talk to Bonnie.

You are a zero, Clyde.

A genuine zero.

No!

So we stop!

What is happening?

- Butch fell, sir.

- What happened there, Butch?

I fell.

I have injured knee.

We just silly around.

The party is over.

Go back to the lodge.

How are you?

Clyde is just cool!

So his look?

The clean bedroom eyes.

As Richard Gere in officer-film

where he carries his lady.

- I'm not his lady.

- Stop it!

We're just friends.

If you are just friends

You may greet him from me.

So off vilyset / i

What happened to your arm?

My father drank a lot.

When I made a noise or did anything

wrong, he burned me.

- With what?

- With a cigarette.

- I do not understand why you do it.

- Do what?

Do not hurt them.

You get them myself worse afterwards.

- That's it, that's the problem.

- What do you mean?

Some people like it.

They feel stronger that way.

As your father?

Yes, I suppose so.

Do you wish

that you had no father?

Sometimes.

Sometimes I wish

I had an older brother.

A protector.

Yes, a brother would be awesome.

Promise me that you call your mother,

as soon as you come into town.

Ask her

to pick you up right away.

Say anything, she just comes.

You can not hide like this.

Okay.

Tiwanda ...

- Can I ask you something?
