Miss Carol | : | OK everyone, this is your biggest challenge yet. |
Jess | : | A day when we mustn't argue? |
Miss Carol | : | No, no. The challenge will take longer than a day. A day and a night in fact. You're going to go camping. |
Debbie | : | Camping! |
Pete | : | Wicked! Are you coming too, Miss? |
Miss Carol | : | No. You have to plan the trip yourselves, and go on it yourselves, too. You're going to be on your own. |
Jess | : | Right, I've written out everything we need for the camping trip. I've listed the things you need for yourself and then some stuff for you to bring for all of us. |
Debbie | : | Baked beans? I hate those. |
Pete | : | Never mind, Debbie, I love them. You're bringing them for me! |
Joel | : | There's loads of stuff here. Do we really need it all, Jess? I've got hardly any money at the moment. |
Pete | : | OK, then, you can sell your guitar! No, seriously, you can borrow some money from me. But I want it back, though. |
Jess | : | It's really important to be prepared. We don't want anything to go wrong. |
Jess | : | Joel, Joel, hi! Have you got everything on your list yet? |
Joel | : | Not yet. Give me a chance! |
Jess | : | How are you getting on with the camping list, Debbie? |
Debbie | : | Um, OK. What about you? |
Jess | : | Oh, I've finished mine. All done! |
Jess | : | Pete! Have you got everything on your list? |
Pete | : | List? What list? |
Jess | : | Pete! |
Pete | : | No, only joking. Don't worry. I'm going to get everything together tonight. |
Miss Carol | : | I'm going to take you all to the campsite and then leave you. You'll be on your own, OK? |
Jess | : | Let's just check we've got everything before we go. |
Joel | : | No. Not again, Jess. |
Debbie | : | Eurgh, my feet are all wet. |
Joel | : | Put your boots on. |
Debbie | : | I didn't bring any. |
Jess | : | hey were on your list. |
Debbie | : | I forgot them, OK. |
Jess | : | I said let's check everything, but no one wanted to. |
Debbie | : | Oh be quiet, Jess. Ouch! |
Jess | : | Oi! Help me get this back up. Can you guys light the fire? |
Pete | : | No problem. Have you got the matches? |
Joel | : | Jess, have you got the matches? |
Jess | : | No but they were on someone's list. |
Debbie | : | I didn't bring any. |
Pete | : | I didn't either. |
Joel | : | Nor me. |
Jess | : | I don't believe it! |
Pete | : | Oh come on, Jess. Calm down. I know things are going wrong, but we can still have fun. |
Joel | : | Yeah, let's ask the farmer for some matches. |
Pete | : | I'm on my way! |
Pete | : | It's a good thing the farmer had some matches. |
Debbie | : | And some milk! |
Joel | : | And a tin opener! We're really bad campers, aren't we? |
Jess | : | No, you're not. |
Debbie | : | That's right, we're not. We're still here, aren't we? |
