I am starting to think my life resembles an old SNL sketch. It was Phil Hartman as washed-up B Movie actor Johnny O'Connor, and John Lovitz as his Agent, Harry. Harry is trying to tell Johnny his career is over, but Johnny can't seem to hear it...
Johnny O'Connor: [ reflecting ] Maybe I've made too many of these war movies. Maybe I should take a rest, huh, Harry?
Harry: Well, I'm glad you brought that up, Johnny.. I was thinking you should take a rest, too. A permanent one.
Johnny O'Connor: [ confused ] What do you mean?
Harry: I'm letting you go.
Johnny O'Connor: You mean..?
Harry: Yes. Your contract isn't being renewed.
Johnny O'Connor: But, Harry, I..
Harry: You're finished, Johnny!
Johnny O'Connor: Don't mince words!
Harry: I think you stink!
Johnny O'Connor: Listen, Harry, if you're unhappy with my work, tell me now!
Harry: You're through, do you hear me, through! You'll never work in this town again!
Johnny O'Connor:Don't leave me hanging by a thread! Let me know how I stand!
Harry: I think you're the worst actor I've ever seen, and I get five hundred letters a day telling me the same!
Johnny O'Connor: What's the word on the street?
Every so often after one of my exchanges with Dan, I picture myself as Johnny, still asking Dan where we stand after 2 years of this...
