What Pete Tarslaw wants is simple enough: a realistic amount of fame that will open new avenues of sexual opportunity; the kind of financial comfort that will allow him to spend his life pursuing hobbies such as boating or skeet shooting at his stately home by the ocean or a scenic lake; and&#8212perhaps mostly importantly&#8212the chance to humiliate his ex-girlfriend at her wedding.
