When Dave rears his pinchy little head at the reunion, the camera cuts over to Chris. Oh, fuck, thinks Chris. "[Dave]'s just as bad as he was in high school," he says in an interview. "Maybe even worse."
Everyone stands around and drinks foofy tropical drinks and contributes their thoughts about the reunion. Patricia: "Blah blah blah such good vibes and energy!" Summer: "Everyone seems really happy blah blah bibbety blah!" Chris: "Yadda yadda want to form lasting relationships with people!" Dan: "I'm definitely interested getting to know the ladies here!" Everybody: "TROLL!!" Nicole: "I'm thinking that by the end of two weeks, I'll definitely be Mrs. Barbato!" Wow. She made that joke before. It's a joke, right? RIGHT?
We pause for commercials, drinking, freaking the hell out, and troll anecdotes.
Everyone's still mingling out on the lawn at the Maui estate when Mike Richards shows up again. "Hi, I'm Mike Richards," says Mike Richards. "I know you guys haven't seen each other for awhile, it's like, ten years, right?" Everyone looks around at each other like, "Uh, does he need us to answer this?" Mike Richards goes on with the provocative questions: "Is this a little weird right now?" he asks. "Am I a complete tool or what?" He tells the group that there's going to be "some fun games" and "exotic field trips." Then he holds up a laminated orange card thingy that says "HALL PASS." "Remember these from high school? These were a good thing!" Everyone seems very excited.
LT: Uh, getting to go the bathroom is a good thing, but it's not that great.
Wendola: Well, they just had all those daiquiris.
Mike Richards explains that the hall pass enables them to do some kind of fancy Maui-wowie activity, and they can pick whomever they want to come with them. The classmates ooh and aah, and several of them actually hop up and down a little. Maybe they do have to pee. Then it's time for everyone to check out the house. The place is huge, with at least two pools out on the patio, and it's pretty sweet, although by the time you see the bedrooms you can tell that there's a lot of that slightly lame timeshare décor and it's not all that lavish. The classmates are sleeping two or three or more to a bedroom, and each bed has a enlargement of the classmate's yearbook photo hanging above it. Everyone figures out their room assignments. Dave and Dan are rooming together. According to Dan, that's a recipe for trouble. Dave stands in their bedroom and announces, "This will be the palace for naked ass!" Already with the naked ass stuff.
