It is a sunny day in sweetwater, and school is being let out for spring break. The guys are walking to the truck and heading home.

Anthony: so what should we do this spring break?

Randal: dunno, there's a lot of boring stuff to do around here

Murray: what about the roundup?

Randal: besides that, but i don't feel like going

Anthony: yeah, you've been to one rattlesnake roundup you've been to them all

Jeff: i just want to be in my room all spring break

Anthony: wait what?

Murray: oh yeah, you weren't here for that, jeff went berserk after Angela rejected his proposal and then dumped him 

Randal: Murray!

Jeff: randal it's ok, I'm still pretty heartbroken but I'll heal

Murray: at least she moved away so you won't have to deal with her

Randal: that is true, so you know what that means? you can celebrate and who knows, maybe you'll find another

Jeff: you really think so?

Randal: you always gotta keep your head up, we've been missing that optimism of yours, so c'mon, let's have some fun

Jeff: you know what, you're right, let's go kick some ass

Anthony: now we're getting down to business

They drive off and head home. After sitting around planning, they get a call from Skyler saying that they have a tour in New Mexico to do. They tell him he's gonna have to postpone it, they're gonna be using this time as vacation. He understands and let's them, but on one condition: they have to film a music video while on vacation. They accept, and Skyler also adds that the company will pay for their vacation wherever they go. After all that, they decide to keep thinking of where to go

Randal: wanna go to oklahoma city?

Anthony: Nah we've been there a lot already

Murray: Kansas? 

Anthony: there's not much there either

Jeff: you know we're gonna have to bring Max right? 

Anthony: for what?

Jeff: well the record company will want him, plus he'll want to 

Anthony: ok well call him and see where he wants to go

Jeff calls Max and he comes over to plan with the others.

Max: how about florida?

Randal: las vegas?

Anthony: they won't let jeff in, he's still under 18

Randal: we'll just make them stamp him so he won't get alcohol

Jeff: but i like alcohol

Anthony: hey! 

Jeff: I'm kidding

Max: let's go to south padre island

Jeff: hell no

Anthony: Max, what is it with you going to the beach? 

Max: I've never been to one

Jeff: to be honest the beach sounds great, and i know where we should go
