Andy, Manager and others in Extras

[after being denied entrance, Andy bursts into the Ivy, where his new agent is having lunch with Greg]

Andy

Trey!

Manager

Excuse me!

Trey

[beckons Andy over] What are you doing?

Andy

What are you doing? You haven't been returning my calls!

Trey

Yeah, well, funnily enough, there's not been much my end since you told the BBC to piss off.

Andy

Oh, there's other channels, aren't there? You're meant to generate work for me, you're my agent!

Trey

Well, I can't magic things out of thin air. They either want you or they don't. Life's cruel. And to be honest with you, I've been up to my eyeballs with my other clients.

Greg

Guilty as charged.

Andy

Yeah... what about me?

Trey

All right, listen to me, Andy. I can't help you because I don't know what it is that you want. Every time you come into my office it's something different. One day it's all about not selling out, being an artist, next day you just want your face in the paper. What do you want? You want to be a world-famous movie star or do you want to be the tortured genius creating great art?

Greg

Look -- do you want fame and fortune, or do you want integrity and respect?

Andy

Both.

Trey

Right. Well, there are only a few people in the world who have both those things. And you will never be one of them. What do you want?

[long pause]

Andy

Rich and famous. And on the telly.

Trey

Right. Okay then. Will you do the stuff you keep turning down?

Andy

Yes.

Trey

Comedy panel shows?

Andy

Yup.

Greg

You know you'll have to make your carefully written jokes look ad-libbed.

Andy

Yes, I know how they work.

Greg

[to Trey] Emmerdale.

Trey

Oh, good, yeah. Well this is great! I'd much rather have a client who'll do anything to get on television than someone who goes, "Oh, I don't wanna do that" or "Oh, that's beneath me" -- oh, hold on. There is one other thing. Might have to pull some strings.

Andy

Pull 'em.

[cut to Andy entering the Big Brother house]
