Gerald: (laughing) I heard singing! Knew it was you.

All: Geraaaald!! Hi Gerald!

P: You made it! Got your bed-roll?

Gerald: Yep. Hey Chad! Hi Norman. Good t'see you guys, ... I know you kids!

Kids: Hi Gerald. Hi G. Hello! Good morning! Hey.

Stu: I'm Stuart, and this is my son Ricky.

Gerald: Nice t'meet ya. So, I'm ready, ... we gonna make it to the campsite by lunch time?

P: Yep. Let's circle up first!

Leon: Why do we have to get into a circle?

Quinn: Why do you have to ask so many questions?

Leon: Why did you come on this trip?

Quinn: Why does it bother you?

Chad: Why can't you two stop?

Quinn: Are we playing "Questions" now Dad?

Norm: Are you acting like children again?

Bailey: We are children!

Quinn: STATEMENT! You lost!

P: Okay! Now look, ... we're in our "circle of caring". I wrote a special song for us, ... it's called DADS 'N BOYS, and, ... here are some word sheets, ... please pass 'em around, ... (sounds of paper being passed around)

P: Now Dads, ... we're gonna care about each other on this camp out, ... right?!

Dads: RIGHT!

P: Right Boys?

Boys: RIGHT!

Quinn: What about girls?

Peter: Annnd, .... we agree to care about everyone, ... including girls and women in our lives. Right?

All: RIGHT!

Peter: OK, one of the great things about being in a circle, is that we can always take a step backwards, and make it wider, so we can always make room for more people to join us! Right?

All: RIGHT!

Peter: Stuart, ... would you play your guitar for this one?

Stu: Sure.

P: And you all have your word sheets?

All: Yep. Yes. I do. Uh-huh. I do right here!

Ricky: I don't know how to read.

P: So when I point to you, Ricky, ... you sing "Dads and Boys love new toys!" Okay!

Ricky: Dads and Boys love new toys!

P: Perfect!

Bailey: 'Sonical Digital Musical Box!' Can I push the button!?

P: No digital box this time, Bailey, ... Stuart's playing a real guitar!
