ANNIE: NO, NO, NO, JUST SPARKLES.
ERIN: JUST SPARKLES, OH, I LOVE IT.
JAI: I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS CAME TO MIND,
BUT SOMETHING LIKE, THE LION KING OR SOMETHING,
WHERE EVERYBODY'S DRESSED LIKE WE'RE GOING ON A SAFARI.

I'M GONNA COME TO ALL YOUR PARTIES.
ANNIE: OK.
GINGER: ALL RIGHT.

ERIN: I DON'T KNOW THE NAMES OF THEM.
JAI: I'M ALLERGIC.
I HATE FLOWERS.
ANNIE: YOU HATE THEM?
JAI: YES.
BECAUSE THEY MAKE ME SNEEZE.
GINGER: THEY MAKE HER SNEEZE.
ANNIE: I JUST LIKE ALL OF THEM.
I JUST LIKE ANYTHING ALIVE IN THE ROOM WITH US.

ANNIE: WOULD YOU WANT TO SING IN THE SHOW?
JAI: PROBABLY, YEAH.
ANNIE: YEAH, DOES IT COME WITH--
SORRY, A FOLLOW UP QUESTION.
GINGER: YES.
ANNIE: DOES IT COME WITH THE ABILITIES YOU
NEED TO DO THE ROLE.
GINGER: ABSOLUTELY.
ANNIE: OK, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO BE LIKE ELPHABA,
IN "WICKED," THE MUSICAL.
I MEAN HER LIKE--IT'S JUST-- ERIN: AND COME IN FROM ABOVE?
ANNIE: YES, YES, YES.
BUT I'VE GOTTA HAVE THE TALENT TO DO THAT.
DON'T CURRENTLY.
GINGER: THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING.
JAI: IT'S COMING.
ERIN: DO YOU HAVE ONE?
GINGER: OK.
YOU KNOW, I LOVE SO MANY MOVIES.
I THINK I WOULD BE RUSSELL CROWE IN "GLADIATOR."
ANNIE: I LOVE IT.
JAI: I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE PRINCESS LEIA.
YOU WERE THAT ONE YEAR.
GINGER: THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS.
SO MANY GREAT OPTIONS, HERE.
OK, LAST ONE.
LET'S JUST DO ONE MORE.
ANNIE: OK.
GINGER: WHAT IS A FUN SUMMER CAMP MEMORY FOR YOU?
ANNIE: OH, I LOVED SUMMER CAMP.
ERIN: THE BEST.
GINGER: ME TOO.
ANNIE: I REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, AT OUR SUMMER CAMP,
MY MOM HAD TO PUT MONEY INTO THE CANTEEN.
AND SO, I'D JUST BE LIKE, "MORE REESE'S PEANUT
BUTTER CUPS?" IT WAS JUST LIKE,
"I CAN COME AGAIN?" AND SO, I JUST REMEMBER
EVERYDAY BEING LIKE, "I'D LIKE SOME REESE'S,"
AND FEELING LIKE THE WORLD WAS MY OYSTER BECAUSE MY MOTHER
PUT ANOTHER $10 IN THE CANTEEN.
ERIN: MY MEMORY WAS ALWAYS WATCHING FOR THE BOYS
CUZ I WENT TO A CAMP WHERE THEY SPLIT GIRLS AND BOYS.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S PROBABLY LIKE A CAMP THING.
BUT LOOKING AT THE CUTE BOYS WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS.
AND THEN, YOU GO BACK TO YOUR BUNK, AND THEN YOU
TALK ABOUT THEM AND GIGGLE.
ANNIE: YEAH, YEAH.
JAI: I'M TRAUMATIZED BY CAMP.
I ALMOST DROWNED.
THAT'S IT.
GINGER: OH NO!
ERIN: NEXT!
[LADIES LAUGHING]
GINGER: THAT IS NOT A FUN MEMORY AT ALL.
IT DOES FIT RIGHT INTO THE TOPIC THAT WE TALK ABOUT WITH ANNIE,
ABOUT BEING BRAVE.
SO, JAI, YOU NEED TO GET BACK IN THE WATER.
JAI: I DO.
ANNIE: YOU NEED TO GET BACK TO SUMMER CAMP, JAI.
JAI: I'M SO SCARED OF WATER, SERIOUSLY,
BECAUSE OF THAT TRAUMA.
MOVE ON.
GINGER: WE DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL ALL COME:
JOYCEMEYER.ORG/TALKITOUT, AND WATCH OUR EPISODE
WITH ANNIE F. DOWNS AND ALL OF US.
WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT BEING BRAVE AND WHAT MOVIE
YOU WOULD STAR IN IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN ONE.
