with this place.

I mean,

think about it.

What the hell

kind of summer camp

has waterbeds?

What do we do now?

We fight.

All right, guys.

No more junior

varsity bullshit.

We gotta lead with

a pro-style offense.

Something Billy

won't see coming.

We have to use

everything we have

at our disposal.

I was thinking

the best opportunity

for an ambush

would be

the slumber party,

with a few tweaks.

That means it's

just a question of

luring him here at

just the right time.

How are we going

to do that?

I think I have an idea.

"Operation

Booby Trap?"

Yup. And Tina's

going to be the bait.

Vicki, are you crying?

I'm fine.

Gertie, I'm sorry for

that time in junior high

when I told everyone

to start calling you

"Ba-chunk-adunk."

And then I covered

your locker in bacon.

That was so crappy.

And I'm so sorry.

I'm such a bad person.

You're not. It's okay.

If it makes you

feel better,

last summer, I'm the one

who spread the rumor

that said you had

a weird disease

where you're

always on your period.

Wow. That's evil.

Thank you.

Hey, Max, if I'm

going to die tonight,

then I don't want to die

without telling you

that when your mom died,

you shut down completely.

And just cut me

out of your life.

And I missed you.

I missed our friendship.

And then you two

became best friends

and, I don't know,

I got jealous.

And so, I did

some really bad things

and I'm not proud of them.

Vicki.

No, no, no, just

let me finish, okay.

I know that I've become a...

A b*tch?

Yes, thank you.

But the thing is, Max,

I've always looked up to you

because you were

always the brave one.

So, be brave again.

Vicki, you don't

have to die.

I'm the mean girl in

the '80s horror movie.

And we're

past the mid-point,

so, you know,

I'd say that I've

overstayed my welcome.

Ooh!

Oh, no, no, no!

Uh-uh. No. No, Tina.

Tina, hey. Yeah. No.

You know not to take off

any of your clothes until

we say so, right?

Yeah? No sex.

How could anyone

think about sex

when I have this

rad gadget?

What is this

thing, anyway?

It's a phone.

Yeah. Please,

I'm not that gullible.

Um, hello, operator? Yes,

I'm trying to make a call

but I can't

because my phone's

not plugged into anything.

Oh, my God, kill me.

Guys, it's almost time.

Let's get ready.

Okay.

How you holding up?

Been better.

How about you?

I'm really scared.

Uh...

Uh, are the arrows ready?

Yeah, I'm on it.

"Adderall."

God, your parents must be

freaking out right now.

You've been

gone for hours.

They must be

so worried about you.

Not really.

I never knew my dad.

And my mom's away.

What's she like?

She, uh... She was so

beautiful and funny.

She never knew

how awesome she was.

How'd she die?

I never said she died.

You said "was."

So, I just figured.

It's okay. You don't

have to tell me.

Here, I want you

to have this.

It's a friendship bracelet.

So, you don't forget me.

How could I ever forget you?

You know,

if this all works out,

I'm really gonna miss you.

When you go home, I mean.

Oh, God, I sound

totally molded.

I know we just met,

it's silly for me

to say that.

It's just...

I guess it's like,

who am I going to

talk to after you leave?

You know? Tina?

She's not very smart.

Maybe you

don't have to.

I don't?

I mean, I carpool

with her to camp,

it's kind of inevitable.

No, I mean, maybe you

don't have to stay here.

Look, I know in the movie,

you're supposed to die,

but that doesn't mean

you have to, right?

Right.

And if you don't die,

then that means

you'll be around at

the end of the movie,

when we leave.

Right.

So, then who's to say

you can't just come home

with me?

Oh, my God.

Where's home?

The Valley.

The Valley.

I don't know, Max,

I don't know.

You're just... You're kind of

blowing my mind right now.

No, think about it!

If you come

home with me,

you can be

whoever you want.

You don't have to be

the shy girl

with the clipboard

and the guitar.

You could be...

I could, like, go to college.

And drive a convertible.

Right. Totally!

An go shopping at the mall.

Actually, people

don't really shop

at malls anymore.

They shop online.

What's online?

Never mind, I made that up.

Just keep going!

Okay! I wanna shop online

and I wanna start over.

You know, I could be

different in the Valley.

What if I don't

make it, Max?

This time, you will.

Hey, guys.

Hi. So sorry

to interrupt,

but, um, we have

a bit of a situation.

Tina, are you...

I'm great! I'm amazing!

She ate your Adderall?

Tina, hey. Eyes here.

Hmm.

Yes.

How many of my, um,

Tic Tacs did you have?

They're not Tic Tacs!

And I had, um, three.

No, 10 or 30!

It was 30!

Maybe we need

to re-strategize.

No, no, no.

I got this.

I got this.

Tina.

Are you sure you can...

Look, man, I got

this, all right?

I got this!

I so got this.

She'll be fine.

I really think

she's more focused now.

Right, Tina?

Yes!

Guys. Let's start.

All right, guys.

This is it. Sound off. Ready.

Ready! Ready! Ready!

Totem pole?

Ready!

Stereo?

Ready.

- Arrows?

- Ready!

All right then, Nancy,

unleash the beast.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, he's coming.

He's coming!

He's coming!

Not yet. Wait to move!

No, no! He's so close!

Tina!

Cut the rope!

Gertie.

Yeah?

I love you.

Oh, screw it.

Everybody in the kitchen!

Now! Now! Go now!

It's okay.

It's gonna be fine.

Gertie, come on.

Hurry up!

Go!

Go, go, go! Go!

Come on, Nancy. Come on.

Sh*t!

It's stuck!

We're stuck!

We're stuck!

No!

Max, it's okay.

Just go.

Go.

What's happening?

It's slow motion.

Jump!

Flashback!

Flashback! Flashback!

What?

Just say the words!

What words?

Billy Murphy was a kid

who went to camp here

years ago.

Tell me the

story again! Hurry!

He was always picked on

for being different, ugly.

Keep going.

Don't stop!

And then one summer,

the hottest one on record,

the kids decided to play

a little prank on him.

Where the hell are we?

A flashback!

A flashback!

Does that mean

we're safe?

Holy crap,

this thing is heavy.

Guys,

where's Billy?

Billy locked

himself in the outhouse,

thinking he'd be safe,

but he was wrong.

Oh, my God,

that's me!

Ugh.

That's what

I sound like?

- Look at him run!

- Wait.

Where's Billy going?

Wait.

I don't know

that part of camp.

I've never seen

that cabin before.

Sh*t! End the

flashback! End it!

Just skip to the end!

Legend has it Billy

still lives in these woods

waiting for new counselors

to cross his path,

waiting to get

revenge again and again.

Did we leave him there?

I wouldn't

count on it.

Let's move.

Oh, my God!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Max!

Max!

No!

Let me go! Let me go!

She's gone, Max.

No! She's alive! She's...

Max, she's gone.

No. She's not.

Come on.

Keep pressure on it.

Don't move, I'll be back.

Max, she's dead.

She's supposed to die,

just like the rest of them.

No, she's lived

this far into the movie,

longer than she

ever has before.
