Previously in our story, the mysterious stranger who has come to Middling Fair looking for
Danny Hillcrest traveled to The Tunnels. After a guided tour aboard Princess, he reached
the library, which doubles as Cindy's office. As this chapter begins, the stranger is speaking with Cindy.
I'm looking for Danny Hillcrest. Like, good luck with that. I take it he's not here.
Like, no, not since I, like, fired him.
Oh, great. Can you tell me what happened?
I have to find him. It's about a life-altering change. Of course, that's just a metaphor.
Yeah, a metaphor. Like, whoa. Sorry, I didn't know.
Like, what can I tell you? Anything. And everything. Like, okay.
When I opened the, like, Cine-Round-a-Dome art house, 24 hours a day, six-screen drive-in,
I didn't know how hard it would be.
To put all of that on a sign?
Like, yeah, but it was also, like, way too stressful to be responsible for everything.
It was like having a job. Not cool.
So, when Danny, like, showed up and said... Hi! Danny Hillcrest here. I'd be happily glad to take over running your outward-facing
social graph media. Like what?
Your marketing and ad and subtract advertising. Oh. Like, cool. But, like, things started
to go bad, like right away. A few days later, the place was selling out.
And what's wrong with that?
Like, I never sell out.
But that wasn't the problem. Danny wasn't watching the movies.
He just, like, heard the titles and made stuff up.
River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves star in everyone's favorite feel-good film
about a potato that joins the army
and falls in love. What movie is that?
My Own Private Idaho.
And, like... It's beaming, epic, sci-fi, science fiction adventure when a Star Trek alien communicator device goes missing!
Huh? Lost in translation. Thrill to this gritty, office space sequel
where the workplace machines fight back!
A scanner darkly. Like, I think you get the idea.
So I was like giving out refunds all the time. I see why you fired him.
Like, no way. Not for that.
I thought he just like needed some training.
So I asked the drive-in's benefactor if he could, like, come in and be Danny's mentor.
Who is this unnamed benefactor?
Have no fear, Dick Bando is here. Dick Bando is the benefactor? How can that be?
Dick Bando never does anything for someone else. Dick Bando needed the tax write-off.
To find out what happens next, be sure to come back for Chapter 7, Undeniable Truth!
