Trevor Slattery : Well, some time ago, I was offered the role of a terrorist. I know, facile, trite, I couldn't agree more. But times were lean, you know what I mean? Anyway, the producer told me he worked for the BBC. But, ironic twist, it turns out he, in fact, was a terrorist, and I wasn't playing a character at all, but what I now recognize to be a rather unflattering portrait of your father. We all got our just deserts. The producer got blown up by Iron Man, and I served time in federal prison, which turned out to be the best thing for me.

Trevor Slattery : You can see Morris?
Katy : Morris?
Trevor Slattery : Oh, Morris! They can see you! You're real! All this time I thought I was hallucinating him. Oh, this is fab news.
Katy : Where's his face?
Trevor Slattery : He's a bit sensitive about that.

Trevor Slattery : The first time I witnessed pure artistry. 1968. Planet of the Apes. I was sitting in a cinema next to my mum watching mastery unfold before my very eyes. After the film, I asked her, "How did they get those monkeys to do those things?" And she patted me on the head and she said, "It's not real, pet. It's just acting." That's when I knew. If they can teach those monkeys to act that brilliantly, just imagine what I could bring to the world.
Shang-Chi : So you became an actor because you thought the monkeys were actually...
Trevor Slattery : Riding horses? I did. Yes. When, in fact, they were simply acting as if they were riding horses. I still can't get my head round it, to be honest.
Katy : Good for you, dude. You found your passion and went for it, and eventually used it to cripple the US government, but whatever.
Trevor Slattery : Yeah. No, yeah, thanks.
