The guys are on the road heading to a surprise meeting at the Ari Gold Super Duper Talent Agency. Drama is reading lines for the audition he has for the new Ed Burns pilot. Drama is feeling pretty good about the whole thing, because he and Burns go way back. It should be no problem at all to get the part. After all, he's playing "the older Irish brother" a role he's been living all his life. This being an Ed Burns pilot, Drama shouldn't have to worry much further than that: He already incessantly talks without saying much, so Burns' scripts should read like an inner monologue to him.

Lloyd is having an Asian panic attack (you know, calming himself by doing quadratic equations), because the phones haven't stopped ringing all morning. He's been fielding questions about the new Ari Gold Super Duper Talent Agency left and right. Ari tells him to lie, no matter what anyone says to him. Just deny, deny, deny. Ari doesn't want to cat out of the bag, just yet.

The guys unload to go up to meet with Ari, but Drama needs to stay behind to keep running his lines. Turtle is upset because he doesn't want to fly solo as Ari makes him wait outside the office alone. Drama apologizes, but he has to be focused, dedicated; a laser. Turtle corrects Drama - he's not a laser, he's a retard. This seems like a grave insult to the mentally challenged, considering Johnny "Drama" Chase one of their own, but I suppose that is HBO's cross to bear, not mine.

There's a big surprise for Vince. No, he hasn't been fired again, his little indie that could, Queens Blvd. is no longer going the art house route. The studio wants to capitalize on Vince's Aquaman fame and push the film into 1,200 theaters. Apparently, it's testing incredibly well, and this afternoon, there is a meeting for Vince with the Hollywood Foreign Press. Get on their good side and they'll give you a Golden Globe. Just like Sharon Stone. And Madonna. And Brad Pitt. So obviously, the award is extremely prestigious and reputable. Ari just needs Vince to smile and cooperate - the general public needs to forget that Vince was just fired from one of the biggest franchises in movie history. He's like the Lisa Bonet of Hollywood. Oh, Denise Huxtable, how we missed you.

Back at the short bus, Drama is practicing his imaginary conversation with Ed Burns. He's practicing so intensely, as a matter of fact, that he doesn't even notice the cop is ticketing his car. Drama is outraged: How could he get a ticket while he was in the car? Am I reading too deeply into this or is Drama so irrelevant to society that the cop didn't even notice him? I like symbolism - sue me. When the boys return Drama is going on and on about the principle, not the money, of getting the ticket. What are they in Communist Russia? Eric humorously points out that Communist Russia no longer exists, but all I can wonder is if it was Matt Dillon or C. Thomas Howell who starred in the Cold War era classic, Red Dawn. A quick IMDB trip later I find out its C. Thomas Howell. Great movie.
