"Helena Morganston? Seth is ready to see you."

Helena picked up her Hermes Birkin and her script, which was covered in notes and beaten up by several read-throughs. She followed the casting director into a non-descript office in which she saw him. He was gorgeous in person, just like Jill said. His hair was messy, but not intentionally, like most douchebags in L.A. He wore a simple button down shirt, wrinkled jeans and laceless Converse. When he spotted Helena, he sat up immediately and extended his hand.

"Helena! It's fantastic to meet you. I'm Seth MacFarlane."

She shook his hand and the two sat down. Seth launched into the conversation right away.

"I loved you in "Moonlight Sonata". I'm a huge Woody Allen fan and I think that was his best work in years. You were really fantastic."

"Thank you, " Helena blushed. It was always nice to receive genuine praise. "Woody is such an icon. I still can't believe I got to work with him. I still think he just kept forgetting to fire me."

The two laughed. Seth immediately started talking about the project. His deft knowledge of the material and his smooth voice put Helena at ease, but she still had her concerns.

"I really think the role of Rachel could be something great, but at times in the script, she kinda comes off as that typically clingy girlfriend. Is there anyway we can work to make her less clingy and into someone who can stand on her own two feet?" Helena asked. "I really want her to be a strong woman, not just some sad-eyed girl who follows guys around."

Seth looked at her for a moment. "See, Helena, the purpose of Rachel's character is that she is the stereotypical clingy girlfriend. She doesn't know how to function without a man by her side. If we changed that about the character, we'd lose a lot of really funny stuff. "

Helena was slightly taken aback. She failed to see what was so funny about girls with poor self-confidence. "Look, I think this script has potential and so does Rachel, but I really don't think it is funny to make fun of the girl with low self confidence. It gets old quickly."

Seth started to chuckle. Helena became slightly angry. What was so funny?

"I'm sorry. I fail to see what is funny right now." Helena snapped.

"No, no… it's just that Meg Griffin has been a source of pratfalls for years. She's the type of girl that has made my career," remarked Seth, still chuckling.

Helena was now confused. There was no Meg Griffin in the script. What they hell was he talking about?

"I'm sorry," Helena replied, "but who is Meg Griffin?"

Now Seth was the confused one. "Really? Have you never heard of "Family Guy"?"

"Nope. I don't watch much T.V."

"Please, everyone knows "Family Guy", " remarked Seth, with an increasing amount of arrogance. "You've never heard of Stewie Griffin?"

Helena shook her head and was becoming increasingly frustrated. The last thing she needed was another arrogant douchebag, insisting on spouting off his resume at any given chance.

"Oh really? You've never heard of Stewie Griffin? We must change that!" Seth replied in the infamous British accent associated with Stewie. When Helena still didn't recognize the voice, Seth became more upset by Helena's lack of recognition.

"How could you have not of heard of the show I created? Did you did any research before you came in here?" Seth retorted.

Helena was done. Fuck this guy, she thought. Helena did not need to take crap from directors with serious ego problems. She grabbed her bag and script. Determined to make her point known, she threw the script at MacFarlane's head. "Seriously, fuck you and your fucking ego, you asshole!" she screamed.

She immediately turned and stormed out the door. Seth sat on the couch, still in shock and kind of in pain, as that script hit him right in the head. Helena walked right past the receptionist and straight to the elevator. She had dealt with her fair share of asshole casting directors and agents, but the nerve on this guy! As soon as the elevator hit the bottom floor, she stormed out of the lobby and straight to her car. Time to go home and indulge in her favorite failed audition pastime: "Mad Men", wine, and cheesecake.
