...contender this spot might have been. I imagined puppies tripping over each other in the window of a pet store, the checked red-and-white tablecloths of a little Italian restaurant, the lacquered mahogany walls of a neighborhood pub. For a moment, I even harked back to the buff, headless mannequins in the window of the old Abercrombie, the plastic smiles of the salespeople who always looked like they just hopped off their surfboards. O cruel, harlot fate! Where was the humanity...

...Dillon and evidently the best sport in Hollywood.) Dillon gives depth and poignancy to a one-joke character. Admittedly, it's often a great joke, as when Drama brags about having been on "Blue"--it turns out he means not NYPD but Pacific Blue, the mid-'90s show about buff bicycle cops. Grenier, likewise, gives Vince a sweet, dim Vinnie Barbarino appeal. Vince doesn't read scripts--even for the movie he just made--but he seems savvy enough to know the utility of his dumbness...
