ALL: "Hi Mickey!"

MORTY: "The name's Morty."
10. After playing blackjack against Rudy for peanuts, what bigger stakes does Tripper suggest they play for next time?

Answer: Zucchini

"Next time we play for bigger stakes... zucchini!" Bill Murray delivers this very funny line after the blackjack game. He continues, "People are starving, and you're going home with a sombrero full of peanuts. I hope you sleep well!"
11. Tripper tries to seduce Roxanne with his Travolta-like disco moves, performed to what song?

Answer: "Making It"

Tripper dances in a comical send-up of John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever". But he also adds a few moves, like putting a 'Lone Ranger' mask over his eyes with his fingers.
12. What happens when Spaz and Larry try to sneak a peek at the girls in their cabin?

Answer: The girls pull off Larry's shorts and hang them on the flagpole

Overweight Larry becomes stuck underneath the cabin, and the girls pull off his shorts. The next morning, it's announced on the P.A. system that there's a pair of shorts hanging from the flagpole.
13. When the counselors-in-training are paddling canoes to the location of their overnight stay, which CIT intentionally drops his paddle into the water because he's distracted by a pretty girl?

Answer: Spaz

As the counselors-in-training are shown paddling down the river, we see Spaz drop his paddle into the water and move his hands in a paddling motion, not aware that he's dropped his paddle.
14. What advice does Tripper give to the camp's high jump competitor?

Answer: "Try to jump very very high."

"It just doesn't matter" becomes a defeatist rallying cry at the camp meeting, but Tripper's rather obvious advice to the high jumper is, "Try to jump very, very high."
15. Camp Mohawk wins the Camp Olympics at the end of the film.

Answer: False

Camp Mohawk usually wins the Camp Olympics, but not the year that the film takes place. For this one magical summer, Camp Northstar defeats the mighty Camp Mohawk.
