Hawkins: Dear Mom, There are lots of exciting things going on here at camp. Or so I am told by my cabin mates. Marcus: Man, that rope swing is great! Jason: Tell me about it! Hawkins: It's craziness if you ask me. Marcus: Come on Hawkins! Do it! Jason: You can't go home without trying it at least ONCE! Marcus: This is the legendary camp Bohrmore rope swing we're talking about! You've got to do it! It's tradition! Jason: Just hold on tight, and after you've cleared the rocks, let go and you'll plunge into the lake. It's that easy. Hawkins: Seems risky. Marcus: Hey, living a full life means TAKING certain risks! C'mon! Cape diem! Jason: Hawk-man! Hawk-man! Hawk-man! Hawkins: Ok, ok...I'll try it. I said, no more advice, please. Jason: But I know a lot more about first aid than I do about rope swings. Marcus: Way to seize the day, if not the rope, big guy.
