Description:
Bernard and Eugene finally make it to San Diego. Bernard purchases his new truck, and Eugene figures out the expenses of their trip. Eugene finds that the trip has eaten up almost all of the savings Bernard supposedly made on the truck deal. Instead of driving straight back, Bernard wants to make a detour to see Hollywood and visit the stars' homes, especially the home of cowboy film star Hip Hobson. Once they get there, they can't find the house or the star, who has long since moved. Instead, there is just a locked gate to a large estate. Bernard and Eugene walk up to it. Bernard is ready to give the owners of the house a piece of his mind. Suddenly, a car screeches around the corner. It heads straight toward them, nearly hitting Eugene! After this experience, they are nearly instantly bonded with the owners of the houseæa bigwig movie producer (Foster Smith-Hammer) and his two daughters. Eugene goes off with the oldest daughter Kelsey for a screen testand Bernard stays behind to tell the younger girl Tammi stories. Tammi is especially interested in the story of Jesus, but her father isn't impressed. Just as Eugene is telling Kelsey The story continues in part II...

Questions:
Why were Kelsey and Tammi so spoiled? Why was Foster so opposed to Bernard telling Tammi about Jesus? Have you ever had a major emergency in your town? How would you react if you did?
