"We're the Pogues, and our mission this summer is to have a good time, all the time."

"That's what, a three-story fall to the deck? I give you about a one-in-three chance of survival." Pope calculates.

"Hm... should I do it?" John B inquires.

"Yeah, you should jump. I'll shoot you on the way down." Pope states as he holds the drill as a gun.

"You gonna shoot me?" JB scoffs.

"Yep." Pope replies as John B makes a "pew" noise while holding up a finger gun.

"They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers," Kiara judges.

"Of course they are. Why wouldn't they?" JJ replies.

"This used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles, I guess?" Kie says.

"I can't have cold towels!" JJ retorts.

"Can you please not kill yourself?" Kie asks looking up at John B standing on the edge of the roof.

"Don't spill that beer! I'm not giving you another one." JJ says, taking another drink of his beer and handing it to Lioana.

"Woah! Ah, shit." John B hollers as he loses his balance and the beer drops onto the deck, spilling everywhere.

"Of course you did, like right after I told you not to." "A-plus" JJ says sarcastically.

"Smooth," Kie scoffs. "Dumbass."

"Hey!" The security guard hollers at the kids.

"Hey, uh, security's here," Lioana announces as she hops down from the platform. "Let's wrap it up."

"Boys are early today," John B says.

"Humpty Dumpty, let's roll." JJ exclaims, "whoo!"

"Yeah..."

"Let's go, boys!" Lio and Kie say in unison.

"Gary! Is that you?" JJ teases as he hops down off of the platform.

"Get down," Pope says, trying to hurry everyone so he doesn't get into any more trouble.

"Come on buddy!" Lio exclaims, hanging over the railing, looking down at Gary.

"It's me! Gary, it's good to see you, man!" JJ hollers, grabbing Lio by the hand and running with her through the house.

"Is it time?" John B asks, following JJ off the platform.

"Yeah, you're just asking for it," Kie says looking at Lio and JJ.

"JJ!" Gary scolds, running towards them.

"Whoo!" Kie yells excitedly.

"Come on, Lio!" JJ says leading her down the stairs as they all laugh.
