ltll be a total gold mine...

and most important, its a way for us

to stay together the whole summer.

ls this not the most brilliant idea yet?

Last time she was like this,

she wanted us to open a dude ranch.

No, seriously, you guys.

ltll be so easy, and the kidsll love it.

We can go from 10:00 to 4:00,

Monday through Friday or something.

We can start after the Fourth of July,

give us time to set up.

l dont know what well charge,

but we can figure that out.

lve put together some start-up budgets

and schedules to check out.

Here, you guys.

-lt looks good, Kristy.

-You guys share.

Kristy, this brilliant idea

might really be brilliant.

My dad said we could use the yard,

but there are a few rules.

The first, in bold print and underlined:

-The house is off-limits to children.

-At all times.

-How many pages are there?

-Dont ask.

Just our luck

your dads a lawyer, Mary Anne.

Okay, lets start marking it off.

-Lets put the sports area....

-Lets put it over there.

-The dance area over there.

-First-aid tent back there.

-What about arts and crafts?

-We can line up Porta-Potties by the fence.

Perfect. Well put the garbage cans

next to them.

-Will the neighbors be a problem?

-Theyre cool.

-What about the new one?

-What about her?

You guys, my dad needs us

to sign this contract...

and initial all the pages hes marked.

-Put your John Hancock right there.

-This will be great.

Shouldnt we read this before we sign it?

Jackie Rodowskys one of my best clients

and the first camper to sign up.

His dream is to hit a home run.

Problem is, he cant even hit a ball.

Too bad he doesnt want to be a jockey,

because he can stay on a horse.

Cokie Masons hated us

since the third grade.

Everyones forgotten why.

Her number-one mission in life

is to put the BSC out of business.

Your helmets on backwards.

Hurts my ears the other way.

Thats Logan Bruno, Mary Annes boyfriend.

Hes an associate member of the BSC.

Mary Annes been in love with Logan

since he moved here from Kentucky.

Unfortunately, so has Cokie Mason.

Look at Kristy

and her band of goody two-shoes.

What do they think they are?

One big, happy family?

-Kristy, this horse wont let me down.

-Hey, you all. Hows the ride?

lll grab Logans arm

and you go distract Mary Anne, okay?

What if she doesnt leave him alone?

Mary Anne and Logan

never let each other out of their sight.

What are they afraid of? Moi?

Logan, lm so glad youre here.

-l wanted to call you.

-Oh, yeah?

-Get lost, Cokie.

-Hello, Kristin.

You have a date...

and l can see his age is the same as your lQ.

Who let you out

of that bat cave, Marguerite?

She hates to be called that.

Thats your real name?

No. lts the mumbling of an idiot.

Stall her.

Go do what l said.

l have to talk to you.

Mary Anne?

-Hi.

-Hi.

Wait!

Can l try on your riding pants?

-Fifth row? Center? Howd you get them?

-Logan?

You, me, and Smashing Pumpkins.

-What are you doing?

-Cokie, l....

-Cokie?

-Dont you have somewhere else to be?

-Dont waste my time.

Logan, l dont believe you.

Dawn, have you watered yourself lately?

What?

Kristy, you got a birthday coming up.

What should we do?

l dont know. Just as long as

its the best day of my life. But no pressure.

Guys, $250 per camper.

lf 30 campers sign up, thats $7,500.

Were rich.

-We can almost buy a car.

-ln five years, we can drive it.

lf we get enough money,

we can open our own office.

-Thats a great idea.

-We could get a fax machine.

-Go international.

-Thatll sure let me off the hook if l flunk.

-Youre not gonna flunk.

-Claud, lll help you.

Okay.

l say we start looking.

How many people have we signed up?

On our last count, we had...

We passed out a million fliers.

-My brother David Michael will come.

-Hows your little day camp going?

-Great. Couldnt be better.

-Really?

flying around Main Street.

Mary Anne...

l got the most outrageous outfit

for the concert.

lm not going to cry.

lll be right back.

Listen, you guys, weve been fighting

each other since the third grade...

and now that were getting older,

dont you think its time we stop?

Were having our annual BSC party...

-tomorrow night at Millers Park at 8:00.

-What party?

lf you could come,

it would be great, 8:00 sharp.

Right, lm sure.

-What?

-l dont know.

-We dont have anything to do tomorrow.

-Of course we do.

lts Friday night.

Well be hanging out at Pizza Express.

l think we should go.

Besides, theyre kind of cool.

Theyre not cool.

Were cool, and dont you ever forget that.

-Whats up?

-Youll find out.

Lets see how cheese-ball

this baby-sitters party is gonna be.

-Theyre such girl scouts.

-Why are we here then?

Logan Bruno will be here.

What does he see in Mary Anne, anyway?

Shes pretty, shes nice,

and shes really sweet.

So?

Where is everybody?

Welcome to the official opening

of the first day...

Welcome to the official opening

of the first day...

of the Baby-sitters Club Summer Day Camp.

Getting even with Cokie was easy.

Then we had to get the camp off the ground.

Every day had a plan,

every plan had a backup...

and every backup had a fallback.

Lots of our regulars signed up,

and some new kids, too.

Boy, were they enthusiastic.

And us, we were ready for anything.

At least, thats what we thought.

0n behalf of every one of our baby-sitters,

we have a souvenir for you...

which also serves a very important purpose.:

lt connects you with your counselor

and is very handy in the kitchen.

Dont hesitate to use this

with your friends, family, and favorite foods.

Please note the color of your potholder.

Go directly to the counselor

wearing the same color potholder as you.

Thank you.

The preparation phase was a nightmare...

but we had to stick it out

cause we were gonna make a fortune.

Can l have one for Jimmy-Tony?

How old is Jimmy-Tony?

Jimmy-Tony, they want to know

how old you are.

Hes the same age as me.

Well, then he gets a red one, too.

Come on.

-Okay, hes paid.

-Kristy, look.

Green. Same as you.

-What do we got?

-Can l have one?

What?

She said she wants a potholder.

See you.

My mom was wondering,

well, theres two of us...

and l was wondering, too.

My mom and dad talked, and they

dont think me and my sister should come...

because itll be too much money,

so l was wondering:

Since my sisters so small,

could we both get in for the price of one?

lve been to the moon.

Over there!

On your mark! Get set! Go!

Come on, you guys! Come on!

Come on, guys! Go!
