Amanda Hi, I'm Amanda Buckman. Why are you dressed like that?
Like what?
Amanda Like you're going to a funeral. Why are you dressed like somebody died?
Wait.

[to the Campers]
Lifesaving! Now I know we're all top-notch little swimmers, but now we get to show our stuff and earn those certificates! Hey, how about our first little pair of lifesaving buddies? Amanda, Wednesday?
Amanda Is that your bathing suit?
Is that your overbite?
Now, one of you will be the drowning victim and the other one gets to be our lifesaver.
Amanda I'll be the victim!
All your life.
[handing out mail]
Barclay, Cesselman, Calloway, Dexter, Donman, Edwards, Evans, Barclay, Finley, Fisher, Gingham, Ginley, Harper.
Oh, no.
What is it?
This is unspeakable.
Is something wrong, Wednesday? Bad news?
This is the worst thing that has ever happened in the history of human events. Uncle Fester's getting married.
A wedding? But that's great news!
Amanda To whom?
The nanny.
Amanda Get out of the cabin. I mean, I'd kill myself. The help?
I'm sure she's a very nice lady.
Amanda I think that's disgusting. I think their whole family's like some weird medical experiment. I think they're like, circus people.
Campers! Group hug!
Wednesday... Pugsley. Will a hug hurt us?
We don't hug.
Oh, they're just shy.
We're not shy.
We're contagious.
I'm sensing some friction here. Somethin' not quite Chippewa.
Mm-hmm.
But, hey, no problemo. All they need are good friends, good fun, and a little time in the Harmony Hut.
Hurry up!
I'm coming.
Wait!
Who's there?
Be careful. Tetanus.
Amanda [Suddenly, a siren sounds] [walking toward Wednesday, Pugsley and Joel with Gary, Becky and Camp Children]
There they are! I saw them sneak out.
Children, what do you think you're doing?
We have to see our family. It's very important.
More important than a summer of fun? More important than making new friends? More important than sharing?
And Joel Glicker. I'm surprised at you.
I-I have to get out of here. I have allergies.
Yes.
Amanda I think they should be punished. [starts chanting] Punish!
No! No! We are not here to punish. We are here to inspire.
Campers? Do you know what I think our little ninja friends here need? Do you know what just might turn their sad and potentially wasted little lives right all around?
What?
[singing in unison with Gary, Becky, and Amanda]
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya. Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya. Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya. Oh Lord, kumbaya.
I'm not perky.
Amanda That's for damn sure.
Amanda What?
We cannot break bread with you.
Amanda Huh? Becky, what's going on?
"You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides. You will play golf and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, "Do not trust the Pilgrims. Especially Sarah Miller."
Amanda Gary, she's changing the words.
And for all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.
