The camera focuses on the cold, flowing water of the river. Eddie sits drenched to the skin, glaring up at Richie with pure annoyance. Richie is doubled over with laughter. "Careful, Kaspbrak!" Richie shouts down at him. Eddie tries to stand but his feet slip on the slick stones, sending him tumbling back into the water. Richie leans over to offer a hand, but his own balance fails and he pitches forward, landing in the river right beside Eddie. For a moment they just sit there in the shallows, stunned, and then they both start laughing, the cold forgotten. Soon, they're splashing each other like a pair of overgrown kids.
