Desperate to prove to Reiner he is right for the part, Dickie manages sells his raunchy autobiography for $30,000. Unfortunately, he didn't have a normal childhood (he grew up in the limelight, and his emotionally abusive mother Peggy ( Doris Roberts) abandoned him once he stopped earning money). Reiner bluntly tells Dickie that the part is not within his abilities because it requires knowing how a regular person lives. Fraser finds Dickie's entrance to the class hilarious and ridiculous, and agrees to help him out by calling Reiner on his behalf. After he is kicked out as he's not an alcoholic, Dickie fakes being drunk and mistakingly wanders into a Lamaze class Brendan Fraser is taking with his wife. While on duty at Morton's, he joyrides in a customer's vehicle and drops into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting where he pesters Tom Arnold to connect him with Reiner. Even after his agent Sidney Wermack ( Jon Lovitz) fails to land him an audition, Dickie persists.
