ladder
A talent agent who thinks they're God and will do anything to get you on stage, even if it means stepping on your face.
I tried to quit the show, and my agent said, 'You're not a ladder, you're a stepping stone and I'm gonna grind you to dust.'
My agent said I was the best thing since sliced bread. I asked, 'What's the worst thing?' He said, 'A ladder that falls apart when you're halfway up.'
My agent thinks I'm a ladder, but I'm more like a broken ladder that falls apart when you're halfway up.
