Bobbie: Oh, well he's just walking in right now. I'll tell him great news, Joey. I just got you the lead in an Industrial Safety video!
Joey: What? No, no, no, no. I don't wanna do anymore stuff like that. Look, Bobbie, I came to LA to take the next step in my career, and I feel like I'm taking a step back. You know, you got me doing these lame auditions, lousy commercials, that Mystery Dinner thing at Ted Danson's house? I need things to change. Now.
Bobbie: Oh, there's the fiery Latin heartthrob that I took a chance on.

Bobbie: 哦，他正巧进来。我会告诉他的。特大的好消息，Joey。我刚给你联系了一个工业安全品的广告！
Joey: 什么？不，不，不，不。我不想在干这些事了。听着，Bobbie，我到洛杉矶是来让我的事业更上一层楼，可我觉得现在是在走下坡路。你知道，你就让我来试演那些垃圾角色，恶心的商业广告，还有Ted Danson家的神秘剧院那事。我需要改变，现在就要。
Bobbie: 哦，我可是第一次发现你身上这种热烈的拉丁式激情。
