Hey, what you reading?
Wow, those words taste weird in my mouth.
It's a letter from Gwen.
We've been writing each other ever since summer started.
Why don't you guys just email?
And waste my calligraphy classes?
I finally perfected the Old English downstroke.
Never make fun of me for wearing tights again.
How come you guysare writing each other so much anyway?
Well, we talked a lot over the school year,
and now I guess you could say
we're kind of, uh, together.
Ooh!
Together? Like together together?
Like, together together together? Like...
Yes, he means together.
Mornin', campers!
Apologies for the lack of veggies in our menu.
Yeah. Great announcement, Lou.
Turns out another produce guy quit this week.
Fascinating stuff.
Apparently, we can't receive deliveries
because the road to camp is "undrivable."
I mean, don't tell me. Tell the local government.
Aren't you, like, mayor?
I'm sorry, Your Honor, is this a trial?
What are you doing?
Ever since I got to campl haven't had a single bar on my phone.
This place is where cell service comes to die.
To be fair, this place is where many things come to die.
But we can't bury cell service in the raccoon cemetery.
Lou, I'd love to help with the produce problem.
As the camp's resident environmentalist,
I can grow us a sustainable garden.
Destiny, that's a great idea.
And, Parker, you're gonna help.
I am?
Well, you said you wanted to take this camp to the "next level."
Yeah, but with something cool,
like a petting zoo where the animals pet you.
How muchdo you think animals would pay for that?
Okay.
Parker, have fun working on that garden.
And, Destiny, heaven help ya.
You seem harmless.
Aw. That's 'cause you're new here.
Hey, what are you doing?
Since Lou's been so busy, I'm helping her out
by turning this old lawnmower into a smart mower.
I added voice recognition
and a buzz saw for large plant removal.
It can also play any song from my "Matty's Jams" playlist.
That all sounds like a lot of work.
It's just something to do to keep me from missing Gwen.
Miss her? But you have me.
I know, but it's different with Gwen.
We talk about stuff that you and I don't.
Like what?
Stuff you talk about when you're seeing someone.
Feelings, secrets, your deepest, darkest fears.
Public bathrooms come up a lot.
Huh?
I guess it does sound kind of nice
to have someone like that.
Hey, Matteo.
Are you finished giving the lawnmower a tune-up yet?
I have to prepare for my presentation
with the Department of Fish and Game today,
and if all goes well,
it'll make our fishing trips, uh...
legal.
Yep! Check it out.
Hello. How can I help?
Whoa! Cool!
Yes.
I see how you could confuse
the phrase "tune up"
with "turn into
"an intelligent being."
Lou, you're going to love this. Watch.
Mow the lawn.
Command received.
Wow. That's actually...
Mowing Yvonne.
No, no, no, no, no! I said "mow the lawn," not "Yvonne!"
Yvonne, get to higher ground!
Hey, Noah. Guess what?
I signed us up to lead the coolest field trip.
Ooh.
Please be the museum of tights.
We are going to take the PeeWees
to Moose Rump Aquarium's brand-new touch tank!
I said you and I were "in like dolphin!"
And then instantly regretted putting it that way.
I will not be "in like dolphin."
I will be out. Like trout.
What? I thought you werethe guy who's game for everything.
I am game for everything.
Who do you think fished that "candy bar"
out of the PeeWees' kiddie pool?
I just don't want to do this one thing.
Why?
You're gonna think it's dumb.
I promise I won't think it's dumb.
Fine. I'm afraid of fish.
Oh, that's so dumb.
Sorry.
It's not just fish.
I'm creeped out by all sea creatures.
They're gross, disgusting beasts.
Plus, they swim around in their own toilets,
and we're all just acting like it's okay?
Wow.
I can't believe I never knew this about you.
It's not really a big deal.
I just don't enjoy sea creatures.
I'm fine with it.
Well, you shouldn't be.
You're gonna miss out on so much fun in your life.
Tell you what,
I'm gonna help you overcome your fear of sea creatures
so that you can love them as much as I do.
Then you can touch all the horseshoe crabs
and the giant sponges and the sea cucumbers,
which are really just huge ocean worms...
Not off to a great start, Ava!
When looking for the perfect gardening spot,
you need to consider the three "S" es,
sun, soil and shade.
The only three "S" es I care about are service, signal, and...
I could find a third "S" if I was on the Internet right now.
Why is your service so bad?
We get to use our phones once a week, and they work fine.
After my parents cut me off,
all I could afford was the Rock Bottom Plan.
Once I make some money,
I'll be able to upgrade to the Depths of Despair Plan.
That one lets you use all the numbers on the keypad.
Whoa!
Look at that tree!
Look at those bars!
All my texts are coming in.
It's my sister. She's at the hospital?
Oh, no. Is she hurt?
No, she's getting it named after her.
What a show-off.
That said, how do you think Lou would feel
about "Camp Parker-waka?"
I'll workshop it.
Hey, Finn. You busy?
Nope.
I got nothing to do and no one to do it with.
Great.
I have to go prepare for my presentation.
You think you could keep an eye on this thing?
Sure. Thank you.
And whatever you do, don't turn it on.
I think it got a taste for camper meat.
Hello. How can I help?
I don't know.
I guess I'm feeling a little down today.
I don't understand.
Yeah, me neither.
Maybe it's because Matteo has someone special to talk to about deep stuff.
And I want to know what that feels like, too.
Activating standby mode.
Thanks.
I guess it would be nice to have someone stand by me.
I've been alone for too long.
I don't understand.
I know, right? I'm a whole snack!
Hello. How can I help?
You already are.
Thanks for listening.
Gas tank full.
Wow! We have so much in common.
Shovel, check.
Watering can, check.
Gloves that don't clash with either shovel or watering can, check.
What are you doing?
I could ask you the same question.
I'm planting my garden.
That's a much better answer than mine.
Okay. Turns out I found a new home for my RV.
I can't get good signal from where it is now,
so I just need to drive it up the road,
park it in this little clearing
and all that great cell service will be mine.
Wait. This is about cell service?
I can't be without Internet.
There's a lot going on.
I got proposals out to three different investors right now.
I've got a proposal to one investor right now.
You know what? Never mind.
I just need my phone, all right?
I'm sorry.
How do you plan to fit that huge RV into such a small space?
Oh, simple.
I just need to cut down that tree.
What?
