"Uh-huh." Dustin held the phone to his ear, writing down in a notebook what Mr. Clarke was telling him. "Uh-huh. How much?" He nodded slightly, writing down whatever information he was being given. "Uh-huh. Yep, all right. Yeah, we'll be careful. Definitely. All right, Mr. Clarke. Yeah, I'll see you on Monday. I'll see you on Monday, Mr. Clarke. Bye." He hung up the phone and placed it onto the table." He turned to Joyce. "Do you still have that kiddie pool we bobbed for apples in?"
"I think so. Yeah." She said, looking at Jonathan for confirmation.
"Yeah," Jonathan confirmed.
"Good. Then we just need salt. Lots of it."
"How much is 'lots'?" Hopper asked the youngest Henderson.
Dustin looked down at the paper where he had written the information his teacher had given him before looking back up at Hopper. "1,500 pounds."
"Jesus. That's a lot." Catherine muttered as everyone had shocked looks on their faces.
"Well, where are we gonna get that much salt?" Nancy asked.

Cat hopped behind Dustin and Lucas on a pair of spare crutches the boys had found in the middle school as she watched her younger brother roll the kiddie pool across the gym. "This damn thing is heavy." The boys complained.
"I would help you, you know that." Cat told him. Dustin nodded as Lucas shook his head.
"You wouldn't be able to lift that thing anyway."
"Well at least I would be able to try and help. I feel useless just hopping along while you guys do all the work." Cat sighed. She watched as the two boys untied the pool and unfolded it.
"Come on. It's upside down." Dustin told Lucas as they began to flip the pool. Cat let out a giggle and the two boys sent her a weird look.
"I'm sorry." The older girl apologised. "Joyce gave me a little more medication so I feel slightly loopy."
"How does this even work?" Dustin asked as they laid the pool out, trying to stop the sides from collapsing.
"Try that side." Lucas suggested, as Dustin tried to stand up the sides of the pool.
"Son of a bitch!" Dustin groaned as the sides refused to stay up. Cat giggled, watching them and finding it very amusing. The two boys began to argue while trying to figure out how to get the sides of the pool to stay up. "Shit!" Dustin exclaimed, giving up.

Cat was lying down on the gym floor as the boys and Nancy filled up the pool with water. Lucas had a thermometer to see if the temperature was correct or not. "Colder!" He yelled out to Nancy who was by the taps that they had connected the hoses to. "Warmer!" He yelled again a second later. "Right there!" He yelled to Nancy once the temperature was correct.
