Default What kind of PULL did Mr. Drummond have to have Arnold being a GOFOR -LOL-LOL

Mr. Drummond was acting like he BROKE arnold into photography with a certain newspaper from having a connection and Arnold was nothing but a errand boy from the minute he stepped in the door-lol Why would he be treated that way if Mr. Drummond was this big important man in NYC??? You would think Arnold would have been treated dfferently since his Dad was a millionare. Mr. Drummond had NO PULL, ALL BULL-lol

Because Arnold had to work his way up by himself. You can't always depend on your parents no matter how much money they have.

And perhaps the guy was told not to give Arnold any special treatment. Look at how Willis changed--he went from streetwise angry kid, to polished, feeling entitled young adult.

That's bull, Brieanna Mr. Drummond was this big time business man and I felt arnold should have been learning about PHOTOGRAPHY instead of being asked to go get coffeeand get yelled at. So if that guy knew mr. drumond why would he treat Arnold like sh*T?????


Just like when my Uncle was able to get my first professional job in my field, when I met the guy that he knew in college who was the VP of the company, he treated me better than everyone else because I was the nephew of his best friend. So that's why this ep was STRANGE to me made absolutely no sense for Arnold to be treated the way he was

Why would he need to tell the guy that? What would be wrong with saying-"my son is looking to get into photography and he would just like to see what you do on a daily and then the guy would be like-"ok cool". He started treating Arnold like he was OFF THE STREET and was referred by no one-lol

So you're saying that since Mr.D was Arnolds father that he should have gotten special treatment??? If he wanted Arnold to learn about Photography he should have enrolled him into some classes.

Because I've seen too many times, that kids of rich and prominent people do indeed get preferential treatment. In real life.

Yes if Mr. D was supposed to be friends with the man. Why would he treat one of his friends nephew like sh*T?-lol That's why Arnold was so confused because he thought he was getting a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to learn about photography only to find out he was a errand boy-lol
