## Transcript

(The episode opens with a beautiful shot of Upstate New York's wilderness)

**Eric:**(in a ranger outfit) Ahh, the great outdoors. Where all you need is bad hygiene and canned foods for survival!

(Suddenly, it turns out he's in front of a postcard of Upstate)

**Edward:**Eric, there's no need for that right now. (packs a first aid kit, toilet papers, insect repellent spray and a compass rose into a backpack) We still need to pack for the camping trip - where we'll be one step closer to Mr. Atwood giving us one of the most supreme badges!

(Eric is trying to fit a TV into his bag)

**Edward:**Eric, that's not going to fit.

**Eric:**You're right.

(Beat)

**Eric:**So I'm putting it in yours.

(He attempts to do so, but it still won't fit)

**Eric:**Ugh, what is IN here?

**Edward:**Toilet paper, first aid kit, insect repellent-

**Eric:**(nonchalantly tosses them out of the window; Edward gasps) We don't need those! Don't you know how USELESS those are? We're not Girl Scouts doing nothing but handing out cookies, are we now?

**Edward:**(deadpan) I wish.

**Eric:**And we joined Boy Scouts to show nature we're not scared of it!

(A cloud pops out of nowhere and zaps Eric with lightning)

**Eric:**Ok, I'm scared of it now. (clears his throat) Uhh, I mean, time's marching, Edward!

(Outside, the brothers walk out, with nothing but the clothes on their skin, and a picnic basket)

**Edward:**Wait, why didn't you throw out our food? (sarcastically) I figured you'd go with the mindset of eating stones and poison ivy.

**Eric:**Well, uhhh...

(Cut to Carver's apartment, where he is with his mother)

**Carver:**Duh, I'm going camping! And I don't care if Blake and Gurney get eaten! Now, (opens his closet revealing a stack of papers) I want you to do this list of chores for me while I'm gone. (the stack falls down) The first one is to clean up that mess! (laughs and exits the apartment)

(Back outside, the brothers unexpectedly bump into him)
