and then the stupid bitch called the Law and Order office and had the EXACT same conversation with their assistants.

its better than calling the actual talent agents where the conversation goes something like this:

Hoochie: "So uhhh...I wanna like act."

Agent's assistant: "Good for you." CLICK..and the line goes dead.
