The Casting Director: Y'know, that's-that's fine, but the line is, "Hmm, soup."
Joey: (reading the card) Whoa! This guy is like the biggest commercial casting director in town! (Ross gasps) Ben takes one lousy walk in the park and gets an audition!!

I've been in that park a million times and no one offered me an audition.
The Casting Director: Okay, uh well, let's try one. Whenever you guys are ready. (Some dude puts down a couple bowls of soup in front of them.)
