NAOMI: We're here! Thank God I can get out of this crazy car.

JENNA: Do we have time for one more truth or dare?

NAOMI: No! No more!

ELAINA: (opens car door, runs out) I'm free! FREE!

JENNA: Where are we anyway?

NAOMI: Campsite 192

ELAINA: A.K.A. a floodplain.

JENNA: Eww! There's water all over the ground! It's going to ruin my new four inch heels.

NAOMI: Jenna. Why on Earth would you wear four inch heels to go camping?

JENNA: Hey, I'm not going to risk my status as most-fashionable over one stupid week.

ELAINA: Come on Jenna, the water's not that bad. It's actually kind of fun. And squishy. Squishy fun.

JENNA: Um, no thanks. I think I'll just stay in the car for now.

NAOMI: Jenna, we are in this together. Now get your butt out of that car and help us set up this tent.

JENNA: Or what?

NAOMI: Or I'll tell everybody the thing you just admitted during Truth or Dare ten minutes ago.

JENNA: Okay, okay. I'm getting out of the car.

NAOMI: Alright. Here is the tent. And there is the campsite. Now we just need to put them together.

JENNA: You're the smart one. You figure it out.

NAOMI: How am I supposed to know how to set up a tent?

ELAINA: Guys, it's really not that hard. Just stick this pole up through the center and hammer these stakes into the ground.

NAOMI: Okay. I'll hammer these things into the ground and you and Jenna can work on the pole.

JENNA: Eww, why is it so wet here? Won't it leak through the bottom of the tent?

ELAINA: The tent's water proof. It shouldn't leak.

JENNA: And what if it does?

ELAINA: Then you'll have a water bed.

JENNA: That is so not funny.

ELAINA: It was pretty funny.

JENNA: No. Not really.

NAOMI: (hammering a stake into the ground.) This isn't working. The ground is so soft they keep coming out.

ELAINA: Let's set the tent up somewhere else.

NAOMI: But this is our assigned campsite.

ELAINA: I know that, Naomi. But we can't set the tent up here. Like you said, the ground's too soft. We can just move up a bit.

NAOMI: But that's somebody else's campsite.

ELAINA: They're not here yet. First come first serve.

NAOMI: Elaina!

JENNA: I'm with Elaina on this one. Unless you want to stay here and get wet, Naomi...

NAOMI: I don't want to get wet, but I also don't want to steal somebody else's campsite. We could get in trouble.

ELAINA: (grins) No we won't. (walks over to Campsite 193)

NAOMI: Elaina, what are you doing?

Elaina takes Campsite 193 sign and switches it with Campsite 192 sign

JENNA: That's what I'm talking about.

NAOMI: Do either of you have any morals?

JENNA: Not with me.

NAOMI: (rolling eyes) You know what I mean.

ELAINA: Come on, Naomi. Lighten up. Look, what's more important. Morals, or not waking up in a pile of water. Besides, I doubt anybody has this campsite anyway. It would just be a waste.

NAOMI: (hesitates) Okay fine. We'll move.

JENNA: Yay! Now can somebody help me? I'm sinking in mud.
