Storyline

Now the Ramones project fell through, the boys decide to start looking for a better agent than Ari. While Lloyd fails to sabotage their quest, Ari gets confirmation that studio boss Allen Grey wants revenge on him and Vince. Telling Bob this information costs Dana Gordon her job, which makes Bob doubt if he still wants to work in Hollywood. Meanwhile the boys find even Josh Weinstein's efforts are less impressive than they hoped. Vince decides on a test.

Goofs

Perhaps it was intentional, but during the scene where they are hitting golf balls into the screen with a right handed club (about 5 minutes in), Turtle is shown wearing a glove on his right hand (usually left handed golfers wear a glove on their right hand). E and Drama are both wearing a glove on the correct hand (for someone that hits right handed). Vince is not wearing a glove at all.

Dana Gordon: Rain check, Ari.

User Reviews

Bye bye Ari!

Vince feels that since Ari's shameful and underhanded techniques in trying to get the Ramones movie made cost Vince the part, he should fire Ari. Vince tries to set up a meeting with Ari to fire him but Ari avoids their calls, so Vince, Johnny, Eric, and Turtle go out across town to find another agent. The more agencies they meet with, the more they see that Ari was in fact the best and all the other agents are the same as one another. After this revelation Vince goes to tell Ari that he is not fired, but he wants an apology, friend to friend. Unfortunately, Ari talks and only talks about the future and never even hints at any remorse over the Ramones project. So they fire him.
