Funny / I Want To Go Home!

Go To

  • The pillow fight they frame Harold for starting.
  • Rudy's letter to his parents claiming (among other things) that there was a typhoon and that all of the counselors are ex-cons hired by Mr. Warden out of a desire for social justice. Chip takes the letter, reads it, horrifiedly protests that he's not an ax murderer and begs Rudy not to send that home.
  • Chip accidentally making a wall fall down by kicking it in the wrong place, with Rudy being quick to point out how it was his fault while the kids have to do the work detail.
  • Rudy (who hates Harold and is on trash detail) filling Harold Greene's pillow with garbage and casually admitting "I would be the logical suspect" when confronted over it.
  • The counselors getting lost and embarrassed in the woods chasing Rudy after the Camp Silver Lake dance.
  • Rudy acting's camp counselor for the day and forcing all of the counselors to do things like a combination obstacle course/three-legged race, and a tug of war (with Chip and Frank tending to do the most poorly).
  • Rudy's Loophole Abuse by antagonizing the camp cook until the guy says if he doesn't like it he can go home to justify an escape attempt.
  • Rudy thinking about everything he'd miss about the camp if he actually does go home and listing how Chip keeps falling into the lake.
  • Frank's Tranquil Fury reaction to learning that Mr. Warden had been warned that Rudy would pose a problem from the start but decided his parents were worrying too much and didn't tell the counselors.
    Frank: There was a letter!
  • Rudy's brother Jefrey picking up his cues in calling the counselors clones and insulting the camp as Rudy proudly says he taught Jeffrey everything he knew.
  • Rudy pausing and thinking about it for a moment when another camper points out that his leaving will make Harold Greene happy, causing Rudy to admit that's almost reason enough to stay.
  • Chip's Imagine Spot about Rudy losing at chess and having to play on their baseball team due to The Bet followed by his terrified Imagine Spot of what will happen if Rudy wins and is camp director for the day, which he assures himself won't happen.
