George Fields:
Where do you come off sending me your roommate's play for you to star in? I'm your agent, not your mother! I'm not supposed to find plays for you to star in - I'm supposed to field offers! And that's what I do!



Michael Dorsey:
'Field offers?' Who told you that, the Agent Fairy? That was a significant piece of work - I could've been terrific in that part.



George Fields:
Michael, nobody's gonna do that play.



Michael Dorsey:
Why?



George Fields:
Because it's a downer, that's why. Because nobody wants to produce a play about a couple that moved back to Love Canal.



Michael Dorsey:
But that actually happened!



George Fields:
WHO GIVES A SHIT? Nobody wants to pay twenty dollars to watch people living next to chemical waste! They can see that in New Jersey!
