И девушки (и девочки-мечи) разместились вместе с ребятами возле костра, принимаясь за сосиски и зефирки - Марк показывал Уайти, как их жарить, а Уайти с аппетитом поедала получившиеся продукты (а Шери всё фотографировала). Затем Монти взял гитару и запел, аккомпанируя себе на гитаре:
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories, gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Затем Монти заиграл другую песню, и запела уже сидевшая рядом с ним Алисия, слегка покачиваясь в такт мелодии и прижимаясь к своему парню (а Шери тем временем фотографировала их "дуэт"):
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine."
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine."
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check-out any time you like
But you can never leave!"
Видно было, что по части певческого таланта Алисия отстаёт от своего парня, но того - и невзыскательную публику в лице остальных ребят - это не смущало.
- Джейми, может, ты тоже что-нибудь споёшь? - улыбнулся Монти, когда песня подошла к концу. Девушка смутилась и замешкалась, и Монти обернулся к их новой гостье: - Может, ты, Эльза? Я, правда, не уверен, что знаю хоть одну песню, которую знаешь ты, чтобы тебе подыграть...
- Что решаем с ночёвкой? - вмешался Марк. - У нас есть три двухместные палатки. Если Джейми согласна поспать на земле, может уложить Эльзу спать в одной палатке с Шери.
