In the office, Thomas looked squarely at WMA's top mogul, Ari Emanuel, with an illusion that he could sit as an equal.
He immediately corrected his own thought; it wasn't an illusion!
Thomas was very aware that he wasn't just representing himself, but Martin as well.
Given Martin's current momentum, they would be treated as VIPs at any talent agency they visited.
Ali asked, "What does Martin need? Just say it."
Thomas touched his balding forehead and, though still quite polite, said, "Isn't elevating Martin to a second-tier client a bit too conservative?"
Ali reminded him, "Martin has yet to complete his first three-year contract with WMA, and above him, there are only first-tier clients and superstars, but people's demands and desires have no limits."
Thomas disagreed, "But Martin deserves better treatment at the agency; among all the post-80s Hollywood actors, he is the only one who can truly carry a box office on his own!"
