On the way to the fishing spot, the family stops at a convenience store to pick up some snacks and supplies. While they are there, they meet a couple of interesting characters. The first one is a man named Courtney who seems to be living in the store. He is a little eccentric and obsessed with the convenience store's Slushee machine.
