ALLISON BRYCE CODY DAN DRIVER JOY LAURIE MILO NATHAN RUSTY SCOTT SIMONE STEVEN VANESSA


ALLISON
Beat that.
CODY
Prepare to be wowed.
ALLISON
Wow.
CODY
The wind must’a picked up. Let me
try that again.
ALLISON
Hold on, what time is it?
CODY
Almost three.
ALLISON
I have to go. The last set of vans
will be here any minute.
CODY
But we’re not done with the match.
ALLISON
Haven’t I embarrassed you enough
for one summer?
CODY
I still maintain that you got lucky
the last 37 times.
CODY
So, you’re all packed and ready to
go?
ALLISON
Yeah. I’m going to miss this
place.
CODY
This is nothing. Someday I’m going
to buy this camp, I’m going to redo
the cabins, update the mess
hall, put in new tetherball courts,
basketball, arts and crafts...
CODY
And over there, with that perfect
view, will be our cabin.
ALLISON
Our cabin?
CODY
Well, mine and my wife’s.
CODY
Have you thought any more about
next summer?
ALLISON
Constantly, but I still haven’t
made a decision.
CODY
Then here’s something to help.
SIMONE
I hope I’m not interrupting.
CODY
Not yet, Simone. Your timing is
impeccable.
SIMONE
We’ve got a situation down at the
equipment shed and I could use a
big, strong man.
ALLISON
Sorry, the only one here is Cody.
CODY
You’re going to pay for that,
Allie.
SIMONE
He’ll just be a minute.
ALLISON
Okay, but hurry. The van is
leaving soon.
CODY
Don’t worry, you’re not getting
away from me that easily.
ALLISON
Bye, guys. Have a great school
year. Remember, Ron, Loudest Burp
is only a valid title at summer
camp.
DAN
So this is it. Off to the hallowed
halls of higher education to
study... what is your major again?
ALLISON
Marketing.
DAN
That’s right. How do you like it?
ALLISON
I love it. In fact, one of my
professors said he could get me an
internship with a firm next summer.
DAN
So you’re not coming back?
ALLISON
I haven’t decided yet. I wish I
could do both.
DAN
I can guess what Cody wants you to
do.
ALLISON
You know Cody. He doesn’t want to
have anything to do with that whole
rat race and doesn’t understand why
I would.
DAN
Selfishly, I hope you’ll come back.
Things are more interesting with
you around.
ALLISON
I’m going to miss you, Dan.
DRIVER
If you’re coming with me, we’ve got
to get a move on.
ALLISON
Can you give me five more minutes?
I need to say goodbye to somebody.
DRIVER
Okay, five minutes. But then I have
to leave with or without you.
CODY
Allison!
CODY
Allison, wait!
ALLISON
Wait!
CODY
Allison!
ALLISON
Let’s go.
ALLISON
...which would increase your
presence and fill a hole in the
market.
ALLISON 
Following this--
VANESSA
Following this three-pronged
strategy, I believe we can make
Rusty’s Round-Up the number one
family steakhouse by year end.
VANESSA
Rusty’s Round-Up. Meet. Greet.
Eat.
RUSTY
Young lady, I know a cow pie when I
hear it... but this makes a lot of
sense. I’m sold. Let’s do it.
NATHAN
Excellent. We’ll have Business
Affairs draw up the contract. Let
me walk you out.
NATHAN
“Meet. Greet. Eat.” I love it.
Excellent work, Vanessa.
VANESSA
Thank you.
NATHAN
You too, Allison.
ALLISON
That line was my idea.
VANESSA
It was a team effort and you’re
part of my team.
ALLISON
I can’t believe she took credit.
She knows that slogan was mine.
LAURIE
Of course she did, Vanessa’s a
shark. She’ll take your ideas,
your credit, and if you don’t watch
out, your boyfriend. I’ve seen how
she looks at him.
ALLISON
I’m not worried about that.
LAURIE
Why don’t you just tell Nathan it
was your idea?
ALLISON
I can’t say anything, it’ll look
like I’m whining.
LAURIE
You got the account. That’s the
important part.
ALLISON
I know, but I need to find a way to
prove myself to Nathan or I’m going
to be a Junior Executive under
Vanessa forever.
And it’s not just about getting a
promotion, It’s about creating
something on my own. You know,
something I believe in and can get
behind.
LAURIE
I’m sure you’ll figure it out.
LAURIE
I can’t believe I ate that whole
thing. Even worse, for dessert I
want ribs.
ALLISON
You’re allowed, you’re pregnant.
How are you feeling?
LAURIE
Like I’m about to pop. It was nice
of Nathan to let me start working
from home, most corporate lawyers
don’t get that perk, but I’m sad
I’m going to miss out on the offsite
next week.
ALLISON
What’s to miss? A few meetings and
rah-rah sessions at the beach,
followed by Nathan’s painful
karaoke in the Sunset Lounge.
LAURIE
I don’t like being out of the loop.
ALLISON
Well, you’re going to be out of it
while you’re on maternity leave.
How’s Scott handling everything?
LAURIE
He’s been great. Calm, steady,
supportive.
I could just kill him.
ALLISON
What?
LAURIE
We’re about to be responsible for
another human being. It would be
nice if he was at least a quarter
as nervous as I am.
ALLISON
I’m sure you’ll figure that out.
MILO
Seriously, you gotta watch it.
It’s the best sci-fi on Tv.
JOY
Sorry.
MILO
Don’t apologize to me, I bumped
into you.
JOY
Sorry.
I mean... Sorry.
MILO
What are these?
JOY
Just some ideas I had. For our
accounts.
MILO
They’re good. Have you shown them
to anyone?
JOY
No, they’re just ideas. Besides
Vanessa is not really ...
MILO
I know, but I bet Allison would
listen.
JOY
I’m not ready for that.
BRYCE
Excuse me, the delivery guy said
these were for the most beautiful
woman in the building.
ALLISON
Did he now?
BRYCE
But I told him to correct his
order. These are for the most
beautiful woman in the city.
ALLISON
Such a smooth talker. No wonder
you’re in charge of bringing in new
clients.
ALLISON
“Congratulations on the new
account.”
BRYCE
That’s your second one this month.
You’re on your way.
ALLISON
I’d hardly call Rusty’s Round-Up
and U-Balloons “on my way.”
BRYCE
Those are big accounts.
ALLISON
I know, but wouldn’t it be nice to
work on something meaningful for a
change?
BRYCE
What would be nice is if Nathan
made you the lead on one of them
like he should have done a long
time ago. Imagine, you and me,
side-by-side. I bring in the
clients and you knock ‘em out.
But for now, I’m just imagining us
at the company retreat next week.
ALLISON
It’s just a business trip.
BRYCE
The days are work, but we will
still have some time for us.
BRYCE
Romantic dinners, sunset walks on
the beach...
ALLISON
Sounds nice.
MILO
Okay, break it up, whatever this
is. Nathan wants everyone in the
conference room.
NATHAN
Hi, thank you for coming.
As you know, next week is the
annual off-site retreat.
NATHAN
Yes, I know, a week of fun in the
sun, spa sessions and gourmet food
all on the company’s dime.
Except... not this time.
NATHAN
The point of the retreat is to
promote teamwork and boost office
camaraderie, but how can you do
that when everyone is off on their
own activities?
So, this year I decided to explore
some other options. Instead of
going to the Vanderfield Resort,
we’re all heading to an adventure
camp in the great outdoors.
BRYCE
What?
NATHAN
I know I’m not giving you much
notice, but I like to keep everyone
on their toes. So, have a great
weekend, get lots of rest, and pack
for fun.
Thank you.
VANESSA
I can’t believe this, what am I
going to do with all those
sundresses?
BRYCE
So much for sunset walks on the
beach.
LAURIE
The off-site?
ALLISON
Yes. That’s how I can impress
Nathan.
LAURIE
How, exactly, are you going to do
that?
ALLISON
You know how seriously he takes
these things. And I have an
advantage because we used to do
team building when I was a camp
counselor.
Laurie takes off her glasses and sits up straight.
LAURIE
You used to be a camp counselor?
Allison carries some clothes from her dresser and packs them
into the suitcase.
ALLISON
It was a long time ago, I was in
college.
LAURIE
I can’t even picture that. You
have a phone app that tells you
what kind of makeup to wear based
on the weather.
ALLISON
I was a different person then.
LAURIE
Well, great. It sounds like a
plan.
ALLISON
What was that?
LAURIE
I don’t know. I’d better go check
on Scott.
ALLISON
All right, have a good night.
LAURIE
You, too. Let me know how it goes.
LAURIE
What is all this?
SCOTT
The works. Furniture, toys,
decorations, about two thousand
diapers...
LAURIE
All this for an infant? He has
more stuff than we do.
SCOTT
He’s going to be here before we
know it. I cleared out all my
sports memorabilia, so we’re good
to go.
LAURIE
Sorry you’re losing your man-cave.
SCOTT
That’s okay, you’ve been doing the
heavy lifting for the past eight
months.
LAURIE
Okay, have fun. I’m going to try
to get a little more work done.
SCOTT
Two weeks. It’s really starting to
feel real, isn’t it?
LAURIE
It sure is.
ALLISON
Outdoorsy, outdoorsy...
ALLISON
Yes.
ALLISON
Perfect.
NATHAN
...and the jacket was in my car the
whole time.
VANESSA
Nathan, that is the funniest story.
You are hysterical!
BRYCE
You’re breaking up. Do we have a
deal? Artie? Artie?
BRYCE
I lost him. How am I supposed to
get any work done with all these
trees?
BRYCE
What’s that?
ALLISON
Just some ideas I was hoping to
talk to Nathan about.
BRYCE
I thought you were going to sit
next to him on the ride up.
ALLISON
I was, but Vanessa beat me to it.
BRYCE
That’s okay, you’ll have plenty of
time to schmooze.
ALLISON
I hope so.
BRYCE
You okay?
ALLISON
Yeah, it just looks familiar.
BRYCE
It looks like woods.
ALLISON
Where are we going, anyway?
BRYCE
Hang on, I have a brochure.
BRYCE
Camp Viewpoint.
ALLISON
You gotta be kidding.
BRYCE
It’s certainly more rustic than the
Vanderfield Resort.
ALLISON
Give it a chance.
BRYCE
Well, I guess the forest is kind of
romantic. And we can trade the
sunset walks on the beach for
moonlight hikes.
BRYCE
As long as we’re together, we’ll
make our own magic.
BRYCE
I’ll get the bug spray.
MILO
Need a hand.
JOY
That’s okay, I can get it.
MILO
Are you sure? Looks like yours are
full and I have a free one.
JOY
Uh, okay.
MILO
Right this way, miss.
JOY
Thank you.
ALLISON
Excuse me, Dan?
DAN
Allison?
DAN
I can’t believe it’s you. You look
so... professional.
ALLISON
Well, it’s been a while. I work in
marketing now.
DAN
I always knew you were headed for
big things.
ALLISON
It’s so strange to be back. This
place seems to have gone through
some changes.
DAN
We started taking on corporate
clients a couple years ago during
the off-season.
ALLISON
But isn’t this peak summer camp
season?
DAN
Well, as word got out, we started
getting more and more clients and
eventually we just switched over
entirely. We made a lot of
upgrades to cater to the new
clientele.
ALLISON
It looks great, but it’s a shame
kids don’t come here anymore. I
guess everything changes.
DAN
Well, not everything. In fact,
here’s a face you might recognize.
ALLISON
Cody!
CODY
Allison.
Hi.
CODY
This is a surprise. I didn’t
expect to see you around here
again.
ALLISON
And I didn’t expect to see you
still around here.
CODY
Well, things are a little different
now. I own the camp.
ALLISON
Congratulations. It looks really
nice.
CODY
Thank you. This is what I always
talked about. It’s everything I
wanted to do.
ALLISON
Well, I should get to my cabin.
CODY
See you around.
VANESSA
I can’t believe we have to share
cabins. If we were at the
Vanderfield Resort, I’d be ordering
a drink and scheduling a deep
tissue massage with Gustav right
now.
JOY
I think it’s nice. It’s so woodsy
and natural. Plus, it’ll give us a
chance to really get to know each
other.
VANESSA
Does anybody want to switch beds
with me?
LAURIE
Hey, there. How’s the off-site
going?
ALLISON
Not well.
LAURIE
What do you mean? Didn’t you just
get there?
ALLISON
It turns out Camp Viewpoint is my
old camp.
LAURIE
You’re kidding.
ALLISON
Even worse, my ex owns the camp.
LAURIE
That’s hysterical.
ALLISON
No, it’s terrible. Things didn’t
end well between us. I’m trying to
impress Nathan, I don’t need this.
LAURIE
C’mon, Allison, it’s been years.
Don’t you think he’s over it by
now?
Honestly, it’s kind of nice.
Reunited with your ex at your old
summer camp? It’s like a romance
novel or a Tv movie.
ALLISON
More like a horror movie. He’s the
reason I never came back.
LAURIE
How did you wind up working there,
anyway? You grew up in the city.
ALLISON
I needed a summer job and they were
hiring.
But I liked it so much, I came back
the next two years. This was a very
special place to me. And Cody...
Well, he was my first love. It’s
just so awkward.
LAURIE
Look, Allison, you’re both grown
up, you’re professionals... Just
talk to him. You’ll probably have
a good laugh about it and
everything will be fine.
ALLISON
Maybe you’re right.
LAURIE
Of course I am.
ALLISON
I should take care of it soon. I
don’t want people finding out and
gossiping. You know how Bryce can
be the jealous type.
Thanks for letting me talk it out.
LAURIE
Any time.
I can’t believe it, the most
interesting off-site we’ve had and
I’m missing it.
ALLISON
Trust me, you’re not missing
anything. I’ll talk to you later.
LAURIE
Wait, Allison...
ALLISON
Yeah?
LAURIE
How does he look?
ALLISON
Not bad.
LAURIE
Good luck.
VANESSA
Hi, Bryce.
BRYCE
Vanessa.
VANESSA
Nice to see someone else dressed
for dinner. But then, you always
look nice.
MILO
Is this seat taken?
JOY
No.
MILO
This place is bringing me back.
It’s just like summer camp.
JOY
I never went.
MILO
Really?
JOY
We used to go to my grandparents’
farm for the summer. That was kind
of like camp.
MILO
What did you do?
JOY
Milked the cows, fed the chickens,
harvested the crops, cleaned the
barn.
MILO
That’s not kind of like summer
camp, that’s kind of like a full *
time job. *
JOY
I liked it. It was a chance to get
away and be somebody else for a
while.
MILO
So, what do you want to at the
company? Or was office assistant
always the goal?
JOY
Well, eventually, I’d like to be an
account executive.
MILO
Eventually?
JOY
NATHAN
Who are they with?
BRYCE
They’re with Duncroft Marketing,
but I think we can get them. They
want to become a household name by
the end of the year.
NATHAN
Work your magic and see what you
can do.
BRYCE
Already on it.
BRYCE
There you are. I was wondering
when you were going to make it
down.
ALLISON
I just wanted to freshen up a bit.
ALLISON
This is really nice. They did a
great job.
BRYCE
You should try the food. I was
expecting something between chipped
beef on toast and franks and beans.
BRYCE
Are you okay?
ALLISON
Yeah.
BRYCE
You seem a little distracted.
ALLISON
No, I’m fine.
Great.
CODY
Good evening and welcome to the
fifth annual Hillridge Marketing
off-site retreat!
CODY
My name is Cody Randall, I’m the
owner and operator of Camp
Viewpoint. I hope you’re all
enjoying yourselves. And how about
the food?
CODY
Over the next five days, you’ll be
participating in a series of
programs, seminars and outdoor
activities designed to foster
creative thinking and team
building. It’s going to be
revealing, it’s going to be
challenging, and, most of all, it’s
going to be fun.
And here to tell you more about the
week is our Activities Director,
Dan.
ALLISON
Will you excuse me for a minute?
BRYCE
Sure.
ALLISON
Cody.
CODY
Allison. Hi.
ALLISON
Kind of funny, running into each
other.
CODY
Yeah, I never thought you and I
would be in the same room again.
ALLISON
I thought we should talk, in light
of our history.
CODY
Sure.
ALLISON
I know things didn’t end well the
last time, but I was hoping we
could keep the past between us.
It’s really nobody’s business and
I’d rather just let bygones be
bygones.
CODY
Absolutely. This week is all about
your company and the employees.
I’m here to facilitate that, so the
last thing I want is to become a
distraction.
ALLISON
Thank you, that’s a relief.
CODY
So, what do you think? About the
camp?
ALLISON
It’s very nice. It looks like
you’re doing well.
CODY
We’re doing alright.
ALLISON
I’m impressed. You’re the last
person I expected to turn into a
businessman.
CODY
Oh, yeah, dealing with vendors,
suppliers, late nights returning
phone calls...
Of course, you wouldn’t know much
about returning calls.
ALLISON
Well, sometimes you don’t need to
return calls when actions speak for
themselves.
CODY
Then again, actions can be
misinterpreted and it’s always a
good idea to give people a chance
to explain.
ALLISON
Or people could explain at the
time.
CODY
Maybe they just got tongue-tied.
ALLISON
Well, wouldn’t you know!
CODY
And here we go!
ALLISON
I’m sorry I wanted that internship.
I liked being a camp counselor, but
I wanted a career. That didn’t
give you permission to make out
with Simone.
CODY
You still think that’s what
happened. I called you a hundred
times. You never let me explain.
ALLISON
Okay, you wanted to explain...
explain.
CODY
What difference does it make?
CODY
Welcome to Camp Viewpoint. I hope
you enjoy your stay.
BRYCE
Is everything okay?
ALLISON
Fine.
BRYCE
All right...
DAN
...so get ready to learn a lot
about your coworkers and a lot
about yourselves.
We’re going to start bright and
early tomorrow morning, so it’s
time to head back to your cabins,
turn in and get ready for the best
night’s sleep of your lives.
JOY
Can’t sleep, either?
ALLISON
No.
JOY
I guess I’m kind of anxious about
tomorrow. What about you?
ALLISON
It’s... the noise.
JOY
Oh.
I really admire you. You have such
good ideas and you’re so confident.
I wish I could be like that.
ALLISON
You’re going to do fine tomorrow.
JOY
Thanks. Good luck with the noise.
ALLISON
Right... The noise.
MILO
Good morning, sunshine.
BRYCE
Are you okay?
ALLISON
I’m having a little trouble
adjusting to the elements.
BRYCE
Good, I was afraid you were coming
down with something.
CODY
Okay, can I have everybody gather
‘round?
CODY
Good morning and welcome to the
first day off the retreat.
JOY
Woo!
CODY
We’re going to start off the week
with some outdoor events and teambuilding
activities designed to
facilitate communication and foster
cooperation. As we go on, we’ll
integrate these lessons into real
business scenarios designed
specifically for you.
A chain is only as strong as its
weakest link, so you’ll have to
work together as a single unit to
accomplish your goal. I’ll be
around to guide you and fill in
when necessary.
CODY
Remember, it’s not a competition
and it’s not a race, so just go out
there and have fun.
Does anyone have any questions?
BRYCE
Yeah. If it’s not a competition,
how is it supposed to be fun?
CODY
Let’s get started.
CODY
Good morning.
ALLISON
Look, I think we got off on the
wrong foot last night. Obviously
we both have some lingering issues,
but what’s done is done. We’ve
both moved on. I’m doing well,
you’ve got the camp. Let’s just
forget about what happened in the
past and carry on like
professionals.
CODY
Sure.
ALLISON
Good.
CODY
Apology accepted.
VANESSA
Okay, I’m going to duck under.
Bryce?
MILO
I am lifting my left hand.
VANESSA
Then whose hand am I holding?
JOY
Mine.
VANESSA
I’m going to give you the name of
my manicurist. Ask for the Coal
Miner Special.
MILO
They feel nice to me. Maybe I
should start holding hands with
more coal miners.
ALLISON
Ben, step through.
No, that made it worse. Jill,
raise your hand.
ALLISON
Maybe we should start over.
ALLISON
Look out, coming behind you.
CODY
All right, good hustle.
CODY
Let me give you a hand.
ALLISON
I can do it.
ALLISON
Told you.
CODY
I was just going to tell you that
there are little steps that
everyone’s been using to get up.
CODY
But good hustle.
BRYCE
What are you doing?
ALLISON
What do you mean?
BRYCE
You’re like a crazy person out
there.
Allison draws another cup and gulps it down.
ALLISON
I’m just trying to show my
enthusiasm.
BRYCE
To who?
ALLISON
Nathan. That’s the whole point.
BRYCE
Okay, just take it down a notch
before you kill someone.
VANESSA
Good energy out there.
ALLISON
Thank you.
VANESSA
I didn’t realize you were so
strong. I hope I can keep up.
DAN
Everybody ready?
DAN
And... go!
BRYCE
Joy, turn to the left.
CODY
It’s not about strength, it’s about
teamwork.
CODY
Whoa!
VANESSA
Nathan! Are you okay?
NATHAN
Yeah, yeah.
CODY
Allison?
ALLISON
I’m fine.
ALLISON
I can’t believe Cody did that. He
totally set me up.
LAURIE
Are you sure? It may have just
been an accident.
ALLISON
That was no accident. He’s trying
to make me look like a fool in
front of Nathan.
LAURIE
Why would he do that? You haven’t
been together for ten years and
he’s the one who cheated on you.
ALLISON
Exactly! I should be making a fool
of him.
LAURIE
That’s not what I meant.
ALLISON
I thought we could act like adults,
but apparently it’s too late for
that.
LAURIE
I really don’t think it’s too late
for that.
ALLISON
What am I supposed to do? He
obviously still has unresolved
issues with me.
LAURIE
Is it possible that you have a few
unresolved issues with him, too?
ALLISON
Cody? Are you kidding?
LAURIE
I don’t know, I’ve known you a long
time. I’ve never heard you
unhinged like this.
ALLISON
The only reason I’m unhinged is
because I just flattened our boss.
I assure you, I’m very happy with
Cody.
LAURIE
Bryce.
ALLISON
What did I say?
LAURIE
I have to go. Scott and I are
going to the movies and then to
dinner. We’re trying to take as
much advantage as possible, since I
don’t know when we’re going to be
able to do this again.
ALLISON
Don’t be afraid of what you’re
giving up, think of everything
you’re getting in return.
LAURIE
Like stretch marks.
ALLISON
Have fun tonight.
LAURIE
You, too. Try not to hurt anybody
else.
ALLISON
“I’m very happy with Bryce.”
What’s the problem?
 “I’m very happy with Cody.” Bryce!
I’m very happy with Bryce.
This is all his fault.
LAURIE
Scott?
SCOTT
You rang?
LAURIE
Do you know why I suddenly can’t
open the cabinets?
SCOTT
I baby proofed them.
LAURIE
Baby proofed?
SCOTT
It’s magnetic. I did the kitchen,
too. What do you think?
LAURIE
I think it’s about a year too
early.
SCOTT
I know, but I saw them at the store
the other day and thought they
looked cool. Here, try it.
LAURIE
Are you sure it’s not parentproofed?
SCOTT
You have to hold it just right.
Move it to the left.
LAURIE
What’s the trick?
SCOTT
There’s no trick, just a magnet.
SCOTT
See?
SCOTT
I’ll lock it in the open position.
Don’t worry, you’ve got plenty of
time to figure it out.
SCOTT
We gotta get going. I don’t want
to miss the trailers.
LAURIE
Forgot what I need in there,
anyway.
NATHAN
Allison. How are you doing?
ALLISON
Fine.
Sorry about the tug-o-war.
NATHAN
It’s okay. I wouldn’t have lasted
this long in this business if I
couldn’t survive a little dirt in
my hair. Or egg on my face.
ALLISON
I feel like I’ve been wearing it
ever since we got here.
NATHAN
You know, you can stop trying so
hard.
ALLISON
What?
NATHAN
I know how people are on these
things. Everyone’s trying to
impress the boss. As if winning
Capture the Flag will somehow get
them a promotion.
ALLISON
I just wanted to make a good
impression.
NATHAN
Allison, I know you do good work.
You’re smart, you work hard, but
marketing is a funny business.
Companies spend huge amounts of
money coming up with big campaigns,
running data analysis, focus group
testing... but the ultimate goal is
very small: to make a connection.
An emotional bond between product
and consumer.
And that takes something very
personal. It takes heart.
If you want to impress me, show me
what’s in your heart.
NATHAN
I have a few calls to make. I’ll
see at dinner.
ALLISON
Hi, honey.
BRYCE
How are you doing? That was quite
a scene at the tug-o-war.
ALLISON
I guess I got a little too into it.
I hope everyone doesn’t think I’m a
nut case.
BRYCE
No, but I’m starting to get a
little worried. What’s going on?
You’ve been acting strangely ever
since we got here.
ALLISON
I’m sorry, I haven’t really been
myself lately. I guess it’s
stress.
BRYCE
Off-sites are like that. Everyone
gets a little crazy.
NATHAN
ALLISON
The woods are beautiful, aren’t
they?
BRYCE
Reminds me of when I was growing
up.
ALLISON
What do you mean?
BRYCE
Twice a year, my parents would pack
us in the car, drive up to some
remote spot in the mountains, pitch
tents, and spend the week fishing,
hiking, cooking over an open
fire...
ALLISON
You never told me that.
BRYCE
That’s because I hated it. Middle
of nowhere, nothing to do.
ALLISON
You didn’t like getting rid of
distractions, getting back to the
elements?
BRYCE
The reason people stopped living in
tents is because we found a better
way. This is just moving backward.
DAN
You missed dinner, so I brought you
a plate.
CODY
Thanks. I thought it would be
better if I didn’t go down there.
DAN
It seems like Allison has got you
riled up.
CODY
Yeah. Clearly seeing her again
brought up some old feelings. I
guess I let it get out of control.
DAN
Well, you’ve been under a lot of
stress with that developer and
everything.
CODY
I never thought I’d sell the camp,
but here we are.
DAN
Well, he showed up with an
attractive offer. It would be
tough for anyone to refuse.
CODY
It’s not the money, it’s just not
the same anymore. I’ve never
imagined doing anything else, but
maybe it’s time to try something
new.
DAN
You do what you think is best.
CODY
You know whatever happens, I’ll
make sure you’re taken care of.
DAN
I’m not worried about that.
I’m going to turn in. Have a good
night.
CODY
Dan, do you think I’m making the
right decision?
DAN
Cody, I’ve known you for a long
time and the one thing I’ve never
wondered is whether you would make
the right decision.
DAN
I’ll see you in the morning.
SCOTT
Are you still working? I thought
the whole point of working from
home was that you were supposed to
be taking it easy.
LAURIE
I am taking it easy. See? I’m in
my pajamas.
SCOTT
Turn off the computer. Come to
bed.
LAURIE
I’ll be there in a minute.
SCOTT
That’s what you said thirty minutes
ago.
LAURIE
I know, I’m just trying to finish
some things up before the baby
comes.
SCOTT
Okay, but don’t stay up too late.
You’re sleeping for two now.
VANESSA
Tough break today. I hope Nathan
wasn’t too upset.
ALLISON
No. Not at all, actually.
VANESSA
He wasn’t?
ALLISON
In fact, we had a good talk
afterward.
VANESSA
Really.
NATHAN
The next partners are Jackie and...
Phil.
NATHAN
Vanessa and... Milo.
MILO
Howdy, Pardner.
VANESSA
This is going to be fun.
NATHAN
Next we have Bryce and... Allison.
BRYCE
I finally get to spend some time
with you.
NATHAN
Which leaves... Joy.
CODY
We knew it was going to be an odd
number.
Do you mind if I fill in?
JOY
Sure.
Nathan looks over at Allison and Bryce.
NATHAN
Hold on. Allison, Bryce... you
know each other well enough. How
about Bryce, you work with Joy and
CODY
Keep walking straight ahead.
You’ve got a root right in front of
you, so careful you don’t trip on
it.
CODY
All right, straight ahead.
CODY
So what’s the deal with you and
Slicky McHandsome?
ALLISON
His name is Bryce and it’s really
none of your business.
CODY
Not trying to make it my business,
just trying to make conversation.
ALLISON
I’d rather not talk about it if you
don’t mind. In fact, I’d rather
just focus on the trust walk.
CODY
Fine by me.
ALLISON
Is there a bathroom around here?
CODY
Behind every tree.
ALLISON
That’s okay, I can wait.
ALLISON
Something funny?
CODY
I don’t remember you being so...
delicate.
ALLISON
And what are you, rugged? Just
because you wear flannel doesn’t
make you a lumberjack.
CODY
I take it back. You are definitely
not delicate.
ALLISON
You know, on second thought, I
don’t need your help with this. I
can get there just fine on my own.
ALLISON
Whoa!
CODY
Allison!
CODY
Allison! Are you okay?
ALLISON
I’m fine.
ALLISON
Ow!
CODY
Sit still. Let me check for
breaks.
ALLISON
That’s not necessary.
CODY
Yes, it is. We’re liable.
CODY
Does this hurt?
ALLISON
No.
CODY
This?
ALLISON
No.
VANESSA
Keep walking. Walking...
MILO
Ouch.
VANESSA
We’re here.
DAN
Who’s ready for some climbing?
VANESSA
This just keeps getting better.
BRYCE
Excuse me, have you seen Allison?
DAN
No, I haven’t.
I guess they’re running late.
CODY
Some week, huh?
ALLISON
You can say that again. I guess
I’m not the same camper I used to
be.
CODY
For the record, she kissed me.
ALLISON
You don’t owe me an explanation.
CODY
Yes, I do. And you owe me the
opportunity to give it to you.
ALLISON
Fine.
CODY
Simone always had a thing for me.
I should have known she’d try
something.
I helped her collect the equipment
and the next thing I knew, she had
me pinned against the shed. I was
trying to push her off when you
found us.
ALLISON
She had you pinned? Were your arms
broken?
CODY
I was surprised. I was confused.
Confused by her, confused about us.
It was one kiss and I didn’t even
kiss her back.
ALLISON
So, you two never had a thing?
CODY
She wasn’t my type.
ALLISON
I guess it’s nice to know the
truth.
CODY
Even if it did take a while.
ALLISON
I think, deep down, I couldn’t
believe you’d really do that. The
internship was a great opportunity,
though. And it made it easier to
get over us.
CODY
Whatever happened, everything
worked out in the end.
BRYCE
Allison?
ALLISON
Bryce!
BRYCE
What are you doing down there?
ALLISON
I fell. Cody was just helping me
up.
CODY
Well, it doesn’t look like anything
is broken.
ALLISON
What are you doing here?
BRYCE
You didn’t make it back, so I came
to find you.
CODY
I should be heading up there.
Allison, do you need a hand up the
hill?
BRYCE
I can take it from here.
CODY
Okay, see you back there.
Watch your step, Allie.
BRYCE
“Allie?”
ALLISON
We knew each other a long time ago.
I used to be a counselor here.
BRYCE
You never told me that.
ALLISON
I didn’t think it was important.
BRYCE
Well, c’mon, we’re all back there.
MILO
It’s amazing! Open your eyes.
JOY
That’s okay.
MILO
C’mon, open them up or you’re going
to miss everything.
JOY
Wow.
MILO
Woo! I’m king of the mountain!
DAN
All right, Your Majesty, time to
give someone else a turn.
DAN
There you are. I was wondering
when you were going to make it.
CODY
Allison and I had a little talk.
DAN
It’s about time.
ALLISON
Oh, no. I was really hoping we
wouldn’t get to this.
BRYCE
What’s the matter? You’re not
afraid of heights, are you?
ALLISON
No, just falling.
BRYCE
Don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe.
ALLISON
I think I’ll just watch from down
here.
BRYCE
I thought you wanted to impress
Nathan.
ALLISON
I do.
CODY
You don’t have to prove anything.
I’m sure everyone here knows how
strong you are. If you want to
stay down here, that’s perfectly
fine, but if you want to try the
wall, I’ll go up with you.
ALLISON
Okay.
ALLISON
What happens if I slip?
CODY
Dan will lock the rope and you’ll
come to a complete stop.
ALLISON
What if I get stuck half-way?
CODY
I’ll be there.
CODY
Just grab hold of something and
climb up.
ALLISON
I’m having second thoughts.
CODY
You’ll be fine. Just keep your eye
on the wall.
CODY
Nice job. You’re getting the hang
of it.
ALLISON
Whoa!
ALLISON
Help!
CODY
Don’t worry, Dan’s got you. If you
want to stop, just let go and he’ll
lower you down. If you want to
keep going, just follow my voice.
CODY
There you go. You’ve got it.
CODY
Just a little more. Keep coming.
ALLISON
I made it!
CODY
You sure did.
Wanna see something?
ALLISON
Okay.
CODY
Lock your rope and turn around.
ALLISON
Wow. I’d forgotten how beautiful
it is.
CODY
I hadn’t.
NATHAN
Okay, let’s try this again. One,
two, three.
DAN
One and a half seconds.
MILO
There’s no way we can get to ten.
ALLISON
No, I used to do these activities
when I was at camp. It’s not
impossible, we just have to work as
a team.
NATHAN
I think we all get the point.
Let’s move on to something new.
ALLISON
Wait, Milo and Joy, stand on
opposite sides.
ALLISON
Now, hold each others’ hands, step
on and lean back.
ALLISON
Now, Nathan, stand across from me.
DAN
Ten seconds. You got it.
CODY
Nice job, everybody.
ALLISON
We reach out to smaller businesses
who need our help. Recycling
centers, pet adoption, community
medical offices. Let’s get behind
the businesses that get behind our
community.
VANESSA
Are you kidding? Companies like
that can’t afford us. We’ll be
skimming for guppies while our
competition goes after the big
fish.
MILO
Say it.
ALLISON
Joy, is there something you want to
say?
JOY
I was thinking that while we might
not get paid as well for businesses
like that, the good publicity will
bring in the big clients.
ALLISON
Exactly. It’s marketing for our
own marketing firm.
Good thinking, Joy.
BRYCE
Hey there, beautiful.
ALLISON
Oh, hi, Bryce.
ALLISON
Sorry about that, I got a little
overzealous during kickball.
BRYCE
We’ve hardly gotten to spend any
alone time up here. I was thinking
we could go on that romantic nature
walk we were talking about the
other day.
ALLISON
Now? I’m on my way to the Office
Supply Relay.
BRYCE
So? Blow it off.
ALLISON
I can’t, I’m a team captain.
ALLISON
Come on, you’re going to get left
behind.
BRYCE
No kidding.
ALLISON
Customer service is how we’ll
define ourselves. We might be
smaller, but we’ll be better. We
need to treat every client like
they’re our only client.
NATHAN
I don’t know what’s in the water up
here, but it’s having a good effect
on you.
MILO
I’m serious, you should talk to
Allison about getting more involved
with the accounts. I know she’s
just a Junior Executive, but she’ll
help out however she can.
MILO
Whoa! Fire alert.
JOY
Now what?
MILO
Watch and learn.
MILO
Here you go. Your first, very welldone,
s’more.
JOY
I’ve been missing this all these
years?
MILO
Welcome to summer camp.
BRYCE
We’ve got a conference call
scheduled with the Epicurean Fresh
people for tomorrow morning. I
think they’re ready to move.
NATHAN
You worked that deal from up here?
BRYCE
You know me, I’m always on.
ALLISON
Whoa. Excuse me.
CODY
Careful you don’t spill your cocoa.
ALLISON
Careful you don’t run into any hot
beverages.
VANESSA
What’s next, we hold hands and sing
campfire songs?
DAN
Cody, I have some purchase orders I
need you to sign.
CODY
Thanks.
Cody bends over and flips through the papers on the beverage
table. He glances over and watches Allison, happily mingling
with Milo and Joy.
DAN
It’s sure been nice having Allison
back.
CODY
Yeah.
DAN
You’ve been spending a lot of time
together. It feels like old times.
CODY
Not quite like old times, we’re
just friends.
DAN
I’ve known you both a long time and
you were never just friends.
CODY
Well, she’s got a boyfriend and
I’ve got a business, so that’s all
we are now.
JOY
Are you okay?
ALLISON
Yeah, I was just looking at my old
bunk.
JOY
What?
ALLISON
I used to be a counselor here.
JOY
Really?
ALLISON
Well, back when it was a kids’
camp. I used to lie awake at
night, making plans for the future,
wondering how it would all turn
out.
JOY
Now you know.
ALLISON
By the way, that was good work
during the discussion groups.
JOY
Thank you. You know, if you ever
need any help with the accounts,
I’d love to get involved.
ALLISON
That’d be great.
ALLISON
Good night, Joy.
JOY
The noise isn’t keeping you awake
anymore?
ALLISON
Nope, I must be getting used to it
up here.
CODY
Well, hello. What are you doing up
and about at this hour?
ALLISON
I got up early to watch the sun
rise. I don’t know the last time I
saw one.
Where are you headed?
CODY
Just a little project I’m working
on.
Wanna help?
ALLISON
Sure.
CODY
There it is.
Nestled in the crook of a branch is a small bird’s nest.
CODY
I noticed the eggs a few weeks back
and I’ve been keeping an eye on it
ever since. They hatched two days
ago.
ALLISON
Aww.
CODY
The predators are pretty active
around here, so I’m putting up a
barrier to keep them out.
ALLISON
You always did have a soft spot for
the young and vulnerable.
ALLISON
So, why did you change this from a
kid’s camp?
CODY
I had no choice. We were losing
money.
ALLISON
But the kids were your favorite
part. Building up their
confidence, pushing them to try new
things.
CODY
Well, I didn’t exactly plan it this
way.
Can you hold this?
CODY
You start off making little changes
here and there, and eventually the
changes take over. One day, I
looked around and realized I’d sold
out without even knowing it.
ALLISON
Then why don’t you change it back?
CODY
Because I don’t know how to make it
work as a kid’s camp.
The funny thing is, I bought this
camp because I didn’t want to get
consumed by the business world, but
instead, I just brought it up here.
ALLISON
Don’t give up hope. I have a lot
of happy memories of this camp.
And a lot of faith in the people
that run it.
NATHAN
Great job in there. You were on
fire.
BRYCE
You know what they say, don’t sell
the steak, sell the sizzle.
NATHAN
If we land the Epicurean Fresh
account, it will be a huge addition
to our portfolio. Knock off for a
while and we’ll talk later.
BRYCE
Vanessa, have you seen Allison? We
were supposed to meet for breakfast
this morning and she never showed
up.
VANESSA
Allison? The last time I saw her,
she was going somewhere with that
Cody guy.
BRYCE
Cody?
VANESSA
You know, the one who runs the
camp. Good looking, muscular...
BRYCE
I know who he is.
VANESSA
If I see her, do you want me to
tell her you’re looking for her?
BRYCE
No.
SCOTT
Let me help you with that.
LAURIE
Thanks.
Scott jiggles the box.
SCOTT
What’s in here?
LAURIE
Just some contracts. I went down
to the office and picked up some
more work.
SCOTT
More?
LAURIE
Well, I’m caught up, so I figured
while I have the time...
SCOTT
I thought the point was to clear
your plate.
LAURIE
I’m just sitting around, so I may
as well do something.
SCOTT
Did Nathan ask you to do this?
LAURIE
No, I just want to be useful.
SCOTT
Your job right now is to rest up
and stay strong. And if you’re
bored, why don’t you work on the
nursery?
LAURIE
I’ll get to it. I’m just getting
to this first.
SCOTT
Relax a little. This is your
chance to take it easy. Work will
carry on without you.
LAURIE
That’s what I’m afraid of.
NATHAN
Our final project is one you should
all be familiar with - a marketing
campaign.
VANESSA
Who’s the client?
NATHAN
We’re standing in it. Five teams
are going to come up with campaigns
for Camp Viewpoint. You’ll present
them and I’ll pick the best one.
VANESSA
How are we supposed to do that?
All of our materials are back at
the office.
NATHAN
I’m not looking for a slick
campaign, this is about ideas. All
of the lessons from the previous
activities, teamwork, problem
solving and out of the box
thinking, have been leading up to
this. Now is your chance to
implement them.
BRYCE
Who are the captains?
NATHAN
Our Senior Account Executives,
Vanessa, Rick, Lisa and Ben will be
team captains.
MILO
What about the fifth?
NATHAN
The fifth will be Allison.
ALLISON
Excuse me?
NATHAN
You’ve really impressed me these
past few days. Now let’s see what
you can do.
Allison, since this is your first
time as lead, you get first pick of
your team.
ALLISON
Well, I’m going to need a great
copywriter, so... Milo.
MILO
Go team Allison.
ALLISON
And for our last teammate... Joy.
Joy looks up, shocked.
JOY
Me?
ALLISON
Unless you don’t want to.
JOY
No, it’s... Thank you.
NATHAN
All right, go to it.
ALLISON
We need to come up with an angle.
What are we really selling here?
JOY
Team-building, cooperation...
MILO
Time off from work.
ALLISON
Funny, but not helping.
VANESSA
I want a cost analysis, return on
investment report, and look at
other programs in the area and find
holes.
MILO
Everybody’s ahead of us.
ALLISON
Nathan said Marketing is about
creating the emotional bond between
product and consumer. What is that
bond?
JOY
You used to be a counselor here.
Why did you keep coming back?
ALLISON
It’s not the same. Things were
different then.
ALLISON
But maybe that’s what we need.
Come with me.
DAN
The developer sent over the final
contract.
CODY
Wow, it came together quicker than
I expected.
DAN
A little too quickly?
CODY
I don’t know, what’s the point of
holding on?
DAN
A lot of good memories.
CODY
That’s all they are now.
DAN
You didn’t give up before. You
took a dying camp and turned it
into a great business.
CODY
Sometimes you’ve got to know when
to walk away.
ALLISON
I need to raid the archives.
CODY
What?
ALLISON
Pictures, letters, early days...
That sort of thing.
DAN
We’ve got a bunch of that stuff in
the shed behind Cabin Four.
CODY
I’ll take you over.
ALLISON
Are you doing some work on the
camp?
CODY
What?
ALLISON
Vonner Land Developers.
CODY
Oh, that’s nothing.
Come on, let’s go.
CODY
Remember this guy?
ALLISON
He was so homesick when he first
got here. Two weeks later, we
could barely get him on the van
home.
CODY
I haven’t gone through this stuff
in years. What are you looking
for, anyway?
ALLISON
Ideas.
ALLISON
Who’s this attractive young couple?
CODY
Ugh. Did I really look like that?
ALLISON
I liked it. You were so different
than the guys I knew in college.
CODY
So I was an act of rebellion?
ALLISON
Not rebellion, just eye-opening
experience.
ALLISON
I really did miss not coming back
here.
CODY
Well, if there’s one good thing
about turning the camp into a
corporate retreat, it’s that I got
a friend back.
ALLISON
Here’s one of you, me and Dan.
CODY
We should take another one before
you go. Hang them up in the
office. Kids and adults, side-byside.
ALLISON
Excuse me.
CODY
Did I say something wrong?
ALLISON
No, you said something very right.
ALLISON
This section is fantastic. And I
love that line you came up with at
the end, Milo.
MILO
Thanks, but it was Joy’s idea.
JOY
It was a team effort.
DAN
Allison is really pouring her heart
into this presentation.
CODY
I know, I can’t wait to see what
she’s come up with.
DAN
So, what happens after tomorrow?
CODY
With what?
DAN
What do you think? With Allison?
CODY
She’ll get in a bus and go home.
DAN
That’s it?
CODY
What do you mean?
DAN
Are you going to sit there and tell
me you have no feelings for her?
CODY
We’re in two different worlds, what
am I supposed to do?
DAN
I’m not sure, but it took years for
Allison to walk back into your
life. And you’ve never struck me
as the kind of man who would just
let her walk out again.
ALLISON
Let’s practice it one more time.
MILO
We already did it four times.
ALLISON
Okay, okay... I just want
everything to be perfect. Joy, do
you have backups for all the
materials?
JOY
Right here.
ALLISON
I think we’re ready.
Just one last time.
CODY
Sorry, I don’t want to interrupt.
MILO
No, please do.
CODY
I thought you could use a break.
MILO
Yes, please get her to take a
break.
CODY
Take a walk with me, clear your
mind.
ALLISON
Well...
CODY
Trust me, I’m a licensed camp
counselor.
CODY
I’m kidnapping Allison. You’re on
your own.
MILO
We’ve got it covered.
ALLISON
We’ll practice again when I get
back.
ALLISON
Whoa!
ALLISON
You were right, I needed to get
away.
CODY
This way.
ALLISON
Where are we going?
CODY
Someplace where we can be alone.
CODY
This is it.
ALLISON
Maybe we should get back.
CODY
Ever since you arrived, there’s
only been one thing on my mind. We
started something a long time ago
that we never got to finish.
ALLISON
Cody, I’m not sure...
CODY
No. If I don’t take the chance
now, I may never have it again.
ALLISON
Archery?
CODY
One round, winner take all for the
unquestioned, undefeated all-camp
archery champion throughout this
and all affiliated universes. No
audience, no witnesses. Just two
gladiators in the ultimate battle
for supremacy.
ALLISON
This is so unfair. You get to
practice year-round. I haven’t
picked up a bow in forever.
CODY
Well, if you’d like to relinquish
the title, I’ll gladly accept your
forfeiture.
ALLISON
Not a chance, I was just giving you
an opportunity to save face.
ALLISON
That was a practice round.
CODY
Fine.
Do-over!
CODY
It’s no fun if you’re not going to
try.
ALLISON
I am trying. You take a multi-year
break and see how good you are.
CODY
Your stance is too tight. Bend
your knees.
CODY
Lift your elbow. Keep it parallel
with the ground.
CODY
Now, fix your eye on your target,
slow your breath, and just...
CODY
...let go.
Zwing! Bullseye.
ALLISON
That was fun.
ALLISON
You were right, I needed that.
CODY
Whatever, unquestioned, undefeated
all-camp archery champion
throughout this and all affiliated
universes.
ALLISON
I can’t believe the week’s almost
over.
CODY
Time flies.
ALLISON
Well, I should brush up before the
presentation.
CODY
Good luck.
ALLISON
Oh, hi.
VANESSA
Having fun?
ALLISON
What do you mean?
VANESSA
On the retreat.
ALLISON
It’s always nice to get out of the
office.
bunk.
VANESSA
I heard this place used to be a
summer camp. I used to love camp.
The friends, the activities...
first love.
ALLISON
I wouldn’t know anything about
that.
VANESSA
I’m going to go rehearse. I’ll see
you at the presentation.
LAURIE
Insert wheel pin into axel.
LAURIE
Well, it took two hours, but not
bad, if I say so, myself.
LAURIE
No...
SCOTT
What’s wrong?
LAURIE
I’m a terrible mother.
SCOTT
What?
LAURIE
Look at this, I can’t even put
together a stroller.
SCOTT
Laurie, I told you I’d take care of
that.
LAURIE
It’s not just the stroller. I’m a
lawyer, I don’t know anything about
being a mommy.
SCOTT
I don’t know anything about being a
father, either. We’ll learn.
LAURIE
I’m like a moody, nauseous beach
ball. When am I going to get my
body back?
SCOTT
Eventually. Or never. It doesn’t
matter, I didn’t marry you for your
body.
And, fortunately, not for your
handiman stills, either.
LAURIE
You’re so calm and steady through
this whole thing. I don’t get it,
why aren’t you scared?
SCOTT
Laurie...
I’m terrified. I wake up in a cold
sweat. The other day, I dropped an
egg and I nearly broke down,
thinking, “What if that had been
the baby.” I’m just trying to be
strong for you.
LAURIE
I don’t want you to be strong for
me, I want to know that you’re
feeling the same things I am, that
you’re thinking we’re never going
to go out to dinner again or that
we’re going to be terrible parents.
SCOTT
But that’s the thing, I think we’re
going to be great parents.
We love each other and we’re going
to love this baby. And we’ll
probably make a million mistakes a
day, but we’ll figure it out.
We’ve got books, we’ve got the
internet, we’ve got people we can
count on, but mostly, we’ve got
each other. We’re in this
together.
And I’m much more careful with eggs
these days.
LAURIE
You better be.
VANESSA
And in the weeks following,
employers reported a ten percent
increase in productivity and
improved company morale.
NATHAN
Very nice. Allison, are you ready?
ALLISON
Yes.
ALLISON
Do you remember the first time you
went to summer camp?
ALLISON
The wide open spaces; the fresh
air; and trees so tall, you
couldn’t see the top. Awed by the
possibilities, open to new
adventures. Where did that sense
of wonder go?
JOY
Nowadays, we lock ourselves in
offices. We work nights and
weekends. So employee retreats,
where we can get back in touch with
that sense of wonder, seem like a
great idea.
MILO
Companies pay huge amounts of money
to bring their employees on these
retreats to build camaraderie and
team spirit.
JOY
And though they are helpful,
research shows that in just weeks
after returning to work, the bumps
in productivity and morale return
to their pre-retreat levels. So
what’s missing?
How do we turn these retreats into
not only an experience, but a
lasting, treasured memory?
ALLISON
The key to improving long-term
employee morale isn’t just work
satisfaction, it’s life
satisfaction. And that comes not
only from a great work life but
from spending time with the people
we love.
JOY
So, how do we bring it all
together?
ALLISON
Camp Viewpoint started out as a
summer camp for kids, so why not
embrace those roots?
JOY
Instead of employees coming up here
alone, they bring their families
and share the experience.
MILO
During the day, the employees come
together for regular retreat
activities, while their spouses and
kids enjoy summer camp activities
in another part of the camp.
ALLISON
And at night, everyone comes
together.
MILO
The facility is more than large
enough to accommodate the two
parts.
JOY
And the additional guests would
increase profits and even fund some
underprivileged youth programs
during the slow season.
ALLISON
Over the last week, we’ve all come
to realize what a special place
this is. Sharing it with loved
ones makes it even more special.
After all, this is about building a
team and what stronger team is
there than family?
Camp Viewpoint: Not work life, not
home life, just life.
NATHAN
Thank you.
Now comes the hard part, choosing
just one. I’ll announce the
winning presentation at the
farewell barbecue tonight.
VANESSA
Congratulations, that was...
different.
ALLISON
What did you think?
BRYCE
It was a good first effort.
ALLISON
A good first effort?
BRYCE
It was a little sentimental for a
business crowd. I think this place
may be getting to your head.
ALLISON
What’s that supposed to mean?
BRYCE
Just that I think you may be losing
your edge. This isn’t you Allison.
The sooner we get home, the better.
ALLISON
I think it’s me Bryce, more me than
I have been in a while. And if you
don’t like this me, maybe this
isn’t going to work between us.
BRYCE
This is because of that guy isn’t
it, your old “friend”.
ALLISON
This isn’t about Cody, Bryce. This
is about us, you and me, and it
isn’t working.
BRYCE
Look, it’s been a crazy week, you
just had a big presentation that
probably didn’t go as well as you’d
hoped, but now’s not the time to
make rash decisions. Let’s just
get ready for dinner and we’ll talk
when we’re back home.
ALLISON
Bryce.
BRYCE
When we’re home.
JOY
Nice job in the presentation today.
MILO
Thanks. I really liked what you
came up with for the--
Joy.
JOY
Are you okay?
MILO
Yeah, I’ve just never seen you
dressed up before. Are you wearing
makeup?
JOY
Yes, I felt like wearing it for a
change. Is it too much?
MILO
No, no. You look... very nice.
NATHAN
Good evening, everyone, and welcome
to the end of the retreat and the
farewell barbecue.
NATHAN
For our final project, five teams
came up with marketing campaigns
for this camp. Each team had a
very unique take, reflecting their
own individual approach. While any
of them would have made an
impressive and effective campaign,
I felt one stood out from the rest.
Allison?
ALLISON
What?
BRYCE
Go.
NATHAN
Marketing is about finding the
heart of the product and Allison
took that heart and turned it into
a campaign that was innovative,
creative and poignant.
Congratulations.
ALLISON
Thank you, Nathan, for your support
and guidance. Of course, I would
be lost without my team, Milo and
Joy.
ALLISON
It’s been an amazing opportunity
and a wonderful week.
ALLISON
Cody.
Cody stops and turns around.
CODY
Congratulations.
ALLISON
You left before I got to talk to
you about the campaign. Didn’t you
like it?
CODY
No, I loved it.
CODY
In fact, I want to ask you
something.
ALLISON
Okay.
CODY
Not here. Let’s go outside.
VANESSA
Are you going to see Allison?
BRYCE
Yeah.
VANESSA
Can you give this to her? It fell
out of her materials. I’m sure she
wants it back.
CODY
I have a big decision to make, but
before I do, I need to ask you
something.
BRYCE
Hey!
ALLISON
Cody!
ALLISON
What are you doing?!
BRYCE
What are you doing?
BRYCE
I knew he was the reason you’ve
changed.
ALLISON
That was a long time ago.
BRYCE
Doesn’t look like it’s in the past.
ALLISON
We were just talking.
BRYCE
Just think about what you’re giving
up before you throw it all away.
CODY
This never happened at the kid’s
camp.
ALLISON
C’mon, I’ll get you cleaned up.
CODY
Ow!
ALLISON
Don’t be a baby. I got certified
for first aid at this camp.
ALLISON
Bryce really got you good.
CODY
Yeah, he really knows how to throw
a punch. Does he beat up a lot of
your ex-boyfriends?
ALLISON
I should have told him about us
when we got here. He thought there
was still something between us.
CODY
So there’s nothing between us?
ALLISON
I don’t know.
ALLISON
I have to go.
CODY
Allison, come back.
ALLISON
It’s late.
CODY
No, come back to the camp.
ALLISON
What?
CODY
Your marketing presentation was
brilliant. It could really work.
A retreat for adults and a camp for
kids. It’s the best of both
worlds.
ALLISON
You want me to leave my job and
come back here?
CODY
We’ll be partners, we’ll build it
up together. I can’t do it alone.
You’ll be doing something you love
and making a difference.
ALLISON
I can’t come back. I have a whole
life out there.
CODY
But you’re alive up here. Everyone
can see it.
ALLISON
It was a work retreat. We both
just got caught up in the past.
CODY
You know that’s not true. Come
back. We belong up here.
ALLISON
I do love this camp, and I’ll
always have feelings for you, but I
can’t.
We made our choices a long time
ago.
DAN
Well, well... another week comes to
an end.
ALLISON
It was good seeing you again, Dan.
I’m going to miss you.
DAN
That’s the hard part about working
at a camp. People come and you
make wonderful friends and then
everybody packs up and says
goodbye.
DAN
It was good having you back.
Things are definitely more
interesting with you around.
ALLISON
Bye, Dan.
ALLISON
Junk... Junk... Somebody else’s
junk...
DAN
The next group is here.
CODY
I’ll be right there.
NATHAN
Got a minute?
ALLISON
Sure.
NATHAN
We just landed a new client.
Epicurean Fresh Frozen Entrees.
This is a major feather in our cap
and our top priority.
ALLISON
You can count on me. I’ll pitch in
however you need.
NATHAN
Good, because I want you run the
campaign.
ALLISON
You want me to be the Lead Exec?
NATHAN
You’ve handled plenty of accounts,
I’ve seen how you work. And you
really impressed me on the retreat.
NATHAN
You’ve worked hard to get here.
This is your moment.
ALLISON
You can count on me.
NATHAN
I know I can.
ALLISON
Start working on some ad slogans
and concept art. The focus is
family, convenience and home.
JOY
Are you okay?
ALLISON
I’m fine. Let’s get to work.
LAURIE
Hi.
ALLISON
Laurie! What are you doing here?
LAURIE
Just returning some files to the
office. Plus, it was a good excuse
to get out of the house.
ALLISON
Here, sit down.
ALLISON
You came back and got more work?
LAURIE
I realized I was pouring myself
into work because I was nervous
about having the baby, but Scott
and I had a good talk.
ALLISON
So you’re not nervous any more?
LAURIE
No, I still am. But we’re sharing
the anxiety.
LAURIE (CONT’D)
What are you working on?
ALLISON
Epicurean Fresh Frozen Foods.
Nathan made me Lead.
LAURIE
You’re the lead? That’s fantastic.
You’re sure to make Senior
Executive after this.
ALLISON
Yeah.
LAURIE
I can see how excited you are.
ALLISON
No, I am. It’s just... Cody asked
me to stay.
LAURIE
When?
ALLISON
The last night at the camp. He
wants to bring kids back and asked
me to be part of it.
LAURIE
What did you say?
ALLISON
What could I say? I’m not a kid
anymore, my whole life is here.
LAURIE
So? Allison, you have to follow
your heart.
ALLISON
But my career is finally on track.
I just got everything I wanted.
LAURIE
Just because it’s everything you
wanted, doesn’t mean it’s
everything you want.
LAURIE
Ooh.
ALLISON
Let me help. I’m sure it’s getting
hard to move around?
LAURIE
No, that’s not it.
I think the baby’s coming.
ALLISON
Just keep breathing. The nurse
will be back in a minute.
SCOTT
Am I too late?
ALLISON
No, you’re right on time.
SCOTT
These are for you.
LAURIE
Aw, that’s sweet.
Now, put them down and hold my
hand!
CODY
Yes, the contract’s fine.
Everything’s in order.
CODY
Sounds good. I’ll see you soon.
DAN
So, it’s final? You’re selling the
camp?
CODY
Looks that way.
DAN
Are you sure that’s what you want?
CODY
It’s what I have to do. I’ve been
holding on to the past too long.
ALLISON
He’s an angel.
LAURIE
I know. It’s been exhausting, but
when I watch him sleep, I forget
about all the sleep I’m not going
to be getting anymore.
SCOTT
I’m going to go get something other
than hospital food. Do you want
anything?
LAURIE
Two of whatever you’re having.
ALLISON
Your whole life is going to be
different.
LAURIE
That’s how it goes. Things change
and you just have to jump in with
both feet.
Know what I mean?
ALLISON
Are you talking about yourself or
me and Cody?
LAURIE
I’m just being your friend.
ALLISON
I’ve worked so hard to come this
far. I can’t give it up now.
LAURIE
Well, as a wise person once told
me, don’t be afraid of what you’re
giving up, think of everything
you’re getting in return.
BRYCE
Working late?
ALLISON
Just putting the finishing touches
on the presentation.
BRYCE
Big day tomorrow. I’m sure you’re
going to do great.
ALLISON
Thank you.
BRYCE
I wanted to apologize for how I
acted on the retreat. I was
jealous and afraid of losing you.
ALLISON
I’m sorry, too. I should have been
honest with you from the start.
BRYCE
Maybe after the presentation
tomorrow we can go to dinner and
talk things out.
ALLISON
Bryce, I think you’re a great guy,
but I don’t think you’re the right
guy for me anymore.
BRYCE
Well, I’m disappointed, but I can’t
say I‘m surprised. I never saw you
as happy as you were on the
retreat.
BRYCE 
It’s funny how the biggest hearts
only have room for one other
person.
BRYCE
Don’t work too late.
ALLISON
Have you seen the projection
analysis?
JOY
Right here.
JOY
Allison Sinclair’s office.
Oh, hi. Just a moment.
JOY
Allison, I have--
ALLISON
Take a message, please.
JOY
I’m sorry, can I take a message and
have her call you back?
DAN
Please let her know I called.
Thank you.
CODY
How do I look?
DAN
Better. What time is your
appointment?
CODY
He’ll be here in a couple hours. I
think I’ll take a walk around the
grounds until he arrives.
DAN
Let me know if you need anything.
MILO
Whoops.
JOY
I’ll get that.
MILO
Um, after the presentation, do you
maybe want to get some coffee or
something?
JOY
Sure.
MILO
Great.
ALLISON
 “Good afternoon, my name is Allison
Sinclair.”
NATHAN
Ready to go?
ALLISON
I keep thinking something terrible
is going to happen. Like one of
those dreams where you go to school
in your underwear.
NATHAN
You’re going to be great. The
pitch is top-notch.
ALLISON
I guess I’m just nervous.
NATHAN
That means you care. This is a big
moment. After today, you’re going
to be on the fast track. Your
whole life is going to change.
CODY
Good afternoon. Welcome.
STEVEN
Thank you. I’m glad we’re finally
able to finalize this deal.
CODY
Sorry I’ve been dragging my feet.
Some circumstances were keeping me
busy.
STEVEN
This area is just breathtaking. I
can see why you love it.
CODY
C’mon, we’re all set up inside.
ALLISON
“Epicurean Fresh Frozen Entrees.
We’ll take care of dinner so you
can take care of what really
matters.”
DAN
Camp Viewpoint.
ALLISON
Dan, it’s Allison.
DAN
Allison. I’m glad you called.
ALLISON
I got your message. Is everything
all right?
DAN
Not exactly. Do you remember that
contract Cody had for the land
developer?
ALLISON
Yeah?
DAN
Well, Cody’s meeting with him now.
He’s selling the land and they’re
going to turn it into a resort.
ALLISON
What?
DAN
He’s closing the camp.
I thought you should know.
JOY
They’re on their way.
STEVEN
We’ll have five hundred rooms,
including seventy-three guest
suites. Indoor and outdoor pools,
gourmet restaurants...
CODY
It looks so... different.
STEVEN
We want to integrate with the
setting to provide the ultimate
outdoor experience for people who
still want the luxury of the
indoors.
NATHAN
Ready to dazzle?
ALLISON
Nathan, I’m sorry. I can’t do
this.
NATHAN
What do you mean? What’s wrong?
ALLISON
You’ve been a teacher and a mentor
and you’ve given me an amazing
opportunity. But you asked me to
show you what’s in my heart and
it’s just not here anymore.
ALLISON
But I’m not leaving you in a lurch.
There’s someone very capable who
can take over.
ALLISON
Joy, you know this left and right.
VANESSA
Are you kidding? She’s an
assistant.
ALLISON
But she knows the material,
Vanessa. You don’t. Nathan, she can
do it.
NATHAN
Are you ready?
VANESSA
This is crazy, Nathan.
NATHAN
It’s my decision, Vanessa. Joy?
JOY
I’m ready.
NATHAN
Then it’s all yours.
ALLISON
Good luck.
NATHAN
Where are you going?
ALLISON
To camp.
STEVEN
All we need is your signature and
we’ll get the first installment to
you.
STEVEN
Congratulations. You’re about to
become a rich man.
ALLISON
Wait!
CODY
Allison?
ALLISON
Don’t do it.
CODY
What?
ALLISON
You can’t sell the camp. It means
too much to you. It means too much
to me.
CODY
Then why did you leave?
ALLISON
I made a mistake. I was afraid of
giving up a career, but I forgot
about what really mattered.
CODY
What about Bryce?
ALLISON
He wasn’t right for me. I’m
looking for someone a little more
rugged.
CODY
Well, you’re too late. The
developer left an hour ago.
ALLISON
What?
CODY
I couldn’t do it.
ALLISON
You didn’t sell?
CODY
What am I going to do with a bunch
of money? I’m a camp counselor.
CODY
You know, if we’re going to do
this, we’re going to need a good
marketing executive.
ALLISON
Lucky for you, I know someone who’s
looking for a job.
DAN
I’m sorry, we’re all filled up for
the next six months. We have a
couple openings after that. If
you’re interested, you should take
them now. They’re filling up
quickly.
ALLISON
You did great. I am so proud of
you.
CODY
Hey, nice going. You finally got
her to try the rock wall.
ALLISON
She was scared of heights, but I
told her that sometimes the things
that look the scariest turn out to
be the best decisions you ever
make.
CODY
Nice.
ALLISON
Also, I told her that’s how I met
my fiance.
CODY
Can you fill in down at the company
retreat for a little bit? I have a
meeting with some developers.
ALLISON
What developers?
CODY
Just a little remodel I’m doing on
our cabin.
ALLISON
Our cabin?
CODY
Well, mine and my wife’s.
