Here, in one of Ted's final press conferences, a reporter provides a similar summary of Richmond's current situation, prompting Sam to ask if he has a question in much the same way. The reporter's eventual question is even similar in spirit to Trent's, albeit much more positive: "Am I dreaming?" as opposed to "Is this a fucking joke?"

He then demonstrates that, yes, he's good at analyzing systems and improving them by understanding, after a day at the restaurant, why they serve nuts. 1) Comedy, he completely failed to realize she was having a joke. 2) Drama, he demonstrates that he ''needs'' a job that will challenge him in a way that waiting tables and sweeping floors can't do.
