A scene from Heavyweights 1995
Alice Bushkin

Harvey and I are saddened and dismayed to announce that we are no longer the owners of Camp Hope.

Harvey Bushkin

[the whole crowd is in disbelief]

Sometimes, in life, things don't work out the way you planned, and in those situations, sometimes you file chapter 9 bankruptcy. [struggling to get his voice] We worked our whole life, and what do we have to show? Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! [sobs]

Alice Bushkin

Harvey, please stop. [to the crowd] Okay, kids, out with the old, and in with the new. [sobbing and gasps can be heard in audience] Now, your new owner is gonna introduce himself in a minute. But, you know what I would like? Please, could you give us just one more Camp Hope "Hi, hi, hiya"?

Crowd

[in a somber tone]

Hiya.

Alice Bushkin

God bless all of you.

Harvey Bushkin

[pair walks away. Harvey comes back to the mic to say one last thing]

One word of advice, NEVER LET ANYONE SIGN YOUR CHECKS!
