- Previously on Impress Me.

- Jim is currently sleeping on our couch.

- So the only way that
I can prove myself is

to make a full length Hollywood movie.

- I am still doing Justin
Timberlake's voice doubling.

- Thing is, if Justin calls,

you're contractually
obligated to work for him.

- The good thing though is that
Justin personally called him

to tell him that you could take
his time with the decision.

- Hi Ross.

This is Justin Timberlake.

- Some people like to unplug so much

they leave their phones
here after they leave.

- I thought you were a dramatic actor now.

I thought you were too
good for impressions.

- I just wanna do both.

- And now a song featuring the voices of

Miley Cyrus, Sophia Vergara,

Woody Allen, and me, Jack Nicholson.

- I haven't sung like
that since I was in .

- Jim and I have been
doing impression gigs

for kids parties for years,

but, you know, the pay isn't that great

and the kids hardly
ever pay any attention,

but then Andrea had this
brilliant idea to start booking

Hollywood industry parties.

So, the audiences really get into it

and the pay is pretty good

and we get to be a little
bit more risque, too.

- Great show you guys.

- Bump a high five.

- Oh yeah.

Boom.

- They really liked it.

- Alright, let's do this.

- Wait, what.

What are you doing?

- I'm gonna pack up the
puppet stage and go mingle.

- We can't show our faces now.

They're gonna know we're the puppet guys.

- We are the puppet guys.

- See, they don't know that.

We just sit tight for a
about 10 minutes, 15 minutes.

It's just until they kind of filter out,

then we wait for our time and we slide out

and we blend in with all the guests.

- It's been a long time since
I've had to do party gigs.

You know, but since I'm looking for

financing for my screen play,

you know, these industry party things,

they're a good way to
contact potential investors.

- Can we go now?

We're waiting for
Myspace to be cool again.

- Not quite, but, I think it's
safe to change your clothes.

- You bought a change of clothes?

- Yeah, can't go out in this,
it's all sweaty and wrinkly,

and puppety.

- Alright, well I'm gonna go
mingle 'cause I'd actually

like to book another
one of these puppet jobs

and make some money, so.

- When I get a call from Team Timberlake,

it means that I have a job
to do as his double double.

At least, that was the case
before I threatened to quit.

And ever since then, I've been
getting personal phone calls

from Justin Timberlake
himself trying to find a way

to restructure our contract.

- Ross, it's Justin.

Ross, it's Justin.

Ross, it's Justin.

Ross, I know you're an
actor, so I'd like to explain

an idea we've been floating around using

an acting metaphor.

- Oh, so that's where the party
is, behind the little stage.

- Oh no, I was just getting my .

I wasn't part of the puppet show.

- Puppet show?

I missed the puppet shh,
oh man, I've got bad luck.

- Yeah, I didn't really see it either.

- Just got here, so where is everybody?

- I think they all
filtered into the house.

I'm Jim Marshall.

- Ah, Roger Houston.

- Roger Houston.

- Never heard that before.

Comedian, Jim?

- No, no, I'm a screenwriter actually.

- Oh, screenwriter, in L.A. huh?

What's the odds of that?

- Yeah, there a couple of us.

- Okay, well you're a
guess of somebody here.

So, what's your pitch?

- Are you in the industry?

- Yeah, work in film finance.

- Film finance.

- You see on Broadway,
an understudy is the

actor that goes on stage--

- Yes, no, I get that, yes.

- For example, if I can't
do a radio interview,

your understudy would do
the interview instead.

Does that make sense?

- Absolutely, that'd be great.

- Let me illustrate
this understudy program

using another hypothetical,
you know like in baseball,

you've got like a pinch hitter.

That's kind of what
we're talking about now.

So, if you could kind
of conceptualize that,

that would be great.

We'll setup auditions at your place.

- I mean I'm not complaining.

Well, I guess, anytime says
they're not complaining,

well, Justin's a nice guy.

- The host locked up and caterer
left but got you some food.

I got the puppets, so can
you pack up the puppet stage?

- Yeah.

- Jim, I love it.

The fraction point, it's
like Christopher Nolan

meets Quintin Tarantino and
yet it's still, it's fresh,

and it's new, and it's very exciting.

I'm ready to invest.

My only reservation is if we

can get some big name talent interested.

- Oh, yeah, well I'm
sure that once we get the

money in place, then we can
make some offers, right.

Then the interest is gonna come right up.

- Oh, thank you.

- I'm just not in a
position to invest money

unless we can get some
A-list talent interested.

I don't need them committed,
I just need interest.

- Seems like it's a
kind of chicken and the

egg sort of thing, you know.

Does it really matter which comes first.

The money or the actor?

- The actor.

- Of course it can be argued that--

- No, it's the actor.

- Yeah.

What if--

- It's the actor.

- The actor, absolutely.

That's what I'm saying.

- The actor.

- So, there's not a lot of
A-list actors I can just call up.

But Roger, I just met him.

He doesn't know that I'm an impressionist

who has a lot of impressionist friends.

So, the investor's just
looking for interest.

He's not looking for
commitment, just interest, so.

- Look, look.

I already forwarded your
script to Team Timberlake

like two weeks ago.

That you can be your A-lister right there.

- If Justin Timberlake
had read that script,

he would have called you
by now, don't you think?

We both know that.

Look, it's gonna be
really, really super easy.

Call Roger, make the appointment with him,

invite him over to the house,
sit home down on the couch,

put the speaker phone on,
you answer as Tom Hanks,

and then you just have
to say blah, blah, blah,

I love the script and I'm interested.

I'm interested, that's it,
and then we're done deal.

- Fine, I'll do it.

- Great, thank you.

- It is a lie, but it's a small lie.

It's part of the business.

You know, the kitchen's too
hot, stop cooking hot food.

- As per Mr. Timberlake's
request, I'm gonna bring

each applicant in.

So if you like them, go
ahead and engage them,

chat them up, find out more about them.

Otherwise, just give me
the signal, flag them down,

and I'll move in.

- Are we ready?

- I like signing and
also dancing, ha ha ha.

- I'm bringing sexy back, yeah.

- Bizzy bizzy gonna get your hands up.

Make everybody in the club jump, yeah.

- Hey Ross.

- Nice to see you, Ross.

- Oh I'm sorry, you know each other>

- Slip me a Lil' Jon, .

- Oh for god sake.

- Okay, I got my suit and tie.

I'll show me a good thang

as long as I got my suit and tie, ha ha.

- Honestly, I knew I did a decent J.T.,

but I just figured there
would be a few others

that could least do a passable job.

♪ J.T., I love you baby ♪

- Maybe give you a little dance

and I could serenade you with some music.

- So, I gotta say, I think that your voice

is really similar to J.T.'s own.

- I've definitely been told that.

- As far as schedule goes.

- Theoretically, if I do get the job,

when would I get to meet J.T.?

- I've never met him myself but
there's a potential I guess.

- I wouldn't be meeting J.T.

- We don't know.

- Probably not.

- Yeah, yeah I don't think
is the right job for me.

I'll show myself the way out, thank you.

- Whoa, whoa, you might meet him.

- Yeah, this is gonna be a faster way.

If you're doing him, it's a
faster way, like he calls him.

- He calls me all the time.

- I've worked there for seven
years, I haven't met him.

- I'm not, I don't think
it's the job for me,

but thanks for the .

- I'm sorry.

- Between you and me, the idea
of Ross hiring an understudy

is a bandaid, it's not
gonna solve anything.

It just postpones the--

- Mr. Timberlake apologized
for any inconvenience

that this may have caused you.

- We do have one more.

- Send him then.

- That's why I'm committed
to just stopping impressions

entirely, eventually.

- That was incredible.

- You're hired.

- Right on, thanks dude, and dudette.

- Brian, who was that?

- His name is Hundo.

- Yeah, I'm really excited
about this understudy.

I think it's gonna free
up a lot of time for me.

- I am excited for you,
I'm excited for us.

- Yeah, it's great, I'm excited.

So, what's out there right now?

- Oh, Star Wars, that's it.

- Ah, ah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, you know I'd love to play

with that old fur ball again.

- No, no impressions, this is
not an impression job, Ross.

Listen, buddy, you have
a very serious chance

at booking one of the leads
in one of the new films.

They're casting all unknowns.

And you fit the look perfectly.

- Gary, may the force give you
a big wet kiss on the lips.

I love it.

Oh, hey Jim, what time is that
thing with Roger tomorrow?

I'm just trying to plan up my day here.

Whoa, you're not Jim.

- Hey, Ross, what's up?

- What are you doing here?

- I'm getting a drink.

You want some?

- No, thank you.

Can I help you with anything?

- Yeah, actually, is
there a bathtub schedule,

because I like to draw a
nice bath in the morning,

just sort of puts me in a good head space

for the rest of the day.

But I don't want to step on any toes.

- Why do I feel like I'm missing a crucial

piece of information?

- I moved in after you hired me.

- That's it, yeah.

Our house is owned by Team Timberlake.

Andrea and I are allowed
to live here rent free

because I'm the official
voice double for J.T.,

and it turns out that the
understudy that I hired

is also allowed to live here rent free.

In all of the numerous
phone calls I had with J.T.,

he somehow failed to
mention that little fact.

- Which is kind of in your sleep.

- Ross, are you and your friends

having a hideous T-shirt
competition outside?

Oh.

- Yeah.

- Mail?

- Yeah.

- I think this understudy
thing is gonna be a

really positive experience, you know.

It's just gonna open up a lot of doors

for me professionally.

I think it's gonna really work out.

Oh, hey.

- Okay, Roger, well
I'll see you real soon.

Okay, there's plenty of street parking.

Right, okay bye.

Hey, Ross, we ought to go over this

Tom Hanks thing one more time.

- Ah, Jim, I'm so sorry.

Gary just got me an audition
for the new Star Wars film,

so I can't do it.

- Wait, no, no, no.

No, wait, the guy's coming over right now.

- Jim, the director's gonna
be at the audition, I can't.

- Sorry, Jim, he really needs to focus.

- Okay, alright, that's fine.

I will call you and you can
do it from the car, Jim.

It's easy.

- I left my phone in the
house because I don't

want Timberlake calling me.

I can't have any distractions.

I gotta memorize five pages
of dialog in the car, sorry.

- What am I suppose to do?

- Get Hundo to do it.

- What's a Hundo?

- Are you sure you want Tom Hanks?

Don't want someone a
little more current like,

like Jason Bateman's got a soft energy

that people seem to find soothing.

Or like Vince Vaughn
could be kind of money.

Or like if there's a random
emotional outburst in the scene.

- Like Chris O'Neill's great at that.

He just blows up for no reason seemingly.

- Now, you know, the investor I know,

he thinks I have an in with Tom Hanks.

So that's who he's inspecting to call.

You do Tom Hanks don't you?

- Well, Buzz, let's not
lose our heads over this.

And we'll do this thing together.

Now, where's Mr. Potato Head.

- So, here's what will happen.

When he comes, I'm gonna signal
you from the kitchen, right.

And then I want you to
call this number, okay.

- There's no crying in baseball.

- I'll take that as a yes.

- You're my brother bear.

- Hey Roger, thanks for coming.

- Ah no problem.

- Get you some water?

- Ah yeah, water's great.

- Good.

Oh quite a hot day we got.

- Oh, yeah.

You up here in nine?

- Yeah.

- Oh.

- Uh yeah, I was driving out
earlier and it was so hot,

that I couldn't believe it.

I had to turn the air conditioning on.

Would you pardon me for a second?

- Yeah, sure, no problem.

- Hundo.

Hundo , Hundo.

Oh no.

Hundo, here boy, Hundo.

Ah, there you are.

- Forgot my keys.

You seen my keys?

- You scared me for a minute there.

- I usually leave them
by the dice in the frog.

- Keys?

- Yeah.

- So, okay.

- Boom, boom, nice.

- Keys.

Oh no, no, no.

Where you going?

- I for Timberlake, gotta go.

- What?

Not now.

- Yeah, you know how it is, 24/7.

- That's fine, it'll work.

You call him from your car.

It's only gonna take about three minutes.

You got the number, right?

You have the number, give you the number?

- No, sorry bro, I'm unplugged.

I left my Blackberry in the phone basket

with this hippie couple
up in Santa Barbara.

- This is the time I need you.

- Here you go.

- Wait, Hundo, Hundo?

Hundo, stay stay.

God.

Okay .

Okay, unplugged.

- Your friends with Tom Hanks huh?

- His wife used to babysit my sister.

- Oh.

- His first wife, my present sister.

- Ah well, I hear he's a
really, really nice guy.

- Yeah, well he's just
exactly what you think he is.

Is that your phone?

- No, I thought it was yours.

- No.

Oh, yeah I know who this
is, this is my associate's,

he left it here.

You know what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna put this away,

'cause he's kind of sensitive about it.

He doesn't want, I'll
put it with his stuff,

and then I'm gonna take my phone with me,

so if Tom Hanks calls, I'll
have the phone on me, okay.

Sit tight.

the phone.

Good, good.

Okay, Tom Hanks just
called, he's got me on hold.

So, news flash, he's a busy guy.

- Wow, I'm surprised you can even get him

on the phone at all.

- Yeah, do, look I'm
gonna go ahead put him

on speakerphone there ,

listen to what he has to say.

Ah, gosh, I need some water.

It's just one right through me, I'm gonna

real fast, but I told him about you.

So, you go ahead, if he picks up.

Start talking, that's fine, he knows me.

- Alright.

- Hello, Jim, hi, this is Tom.

Hey, it's been a while.

Sorry about keeping you on hold.

- Ah, no, Jim actually,
he just stepped out.

I'm Roger, his potential
producing partner.

We were just calling to
see if you had a chance

to read the script at all.

- The script?

Oh listen, I want to tell you something.

Roger is it?

Roger, that blew me away.

I mean, it's like Apollo
13 meets Toy Story 3,

it's that good, it's got
everything I could ever ask for.

- That's fantastic, that's really great.

We're very excited.

I wish Jim was here to hear that.

He'll be right back.

He just stepped out for one quick second.

So, if you could just hold on.

- You know, wish I could.

Unfortunately, I got
another call coming in.

But it's great talking to you.

- You know what?

We'll hold, we'll hold.

- You'll hold?

- Yeah, sure, no problem.

We'll be right here.

- Okay, great, I'll be
right back with you, then.

- Jim, Tom Hanks on the phone.

- I remember that, I
was just thinking about

that time we made those sock puppets.

Remember, we entertained.

- Actually, you know, he's
got us on hold right now.

So, he'll be right back.

- Oh, oh okay.

- Yeah .

- But he like the script?

- Oh, no, he loved it.

Very interested, this is great.

- Great, then we'll good, we're golden.

- Oh, come, this is
when we close the deal.

We gotta get him to commit.

And we can get all the money we need if--

- Really?

- Yes, of course.

You know how to do this, come on.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah good.

- This is when we get him.

- Probably you should be the one to talk

about the business side .

- Yeah, sure, no problem.

- I just realized, I have to be,

the garage door is open.

Yeah, he knows you.

- Okay, we'll hurry up.

Just please--

- Hey sorry, about that.

Hey, Jim.

- Roger.

I'm sorry, Jim just stepped
out for one more second.

He will be right back, I promise you.

He's just coming right back, right, Jim.

- Well, I thought I was the
one who was hard to get to.

Anyway, I got, uh Roger,

I have another call coming in.

I'm gonna have to put you on hold.

- Okay, sure.

- Hello?

- Hey, it's Justin Timberlake.

I am so sorry it's taken me
this long to get back to you,

but I finally sat down and
read The Fraction Point,

and it's fantastic.

It's like The Social Network
meets the Cohen Brothers.

Although I can't commit to acting in it,

'cause the screen--

- Justin, this is actually Roger.

Jim's longtime producing partner.

He just had to step out for a second.

He'll be right back, just one sec.

- Roger, that's a beautiful name.

I like the balance of
vowels and consonants.

Great choice by your parents.

Are they still with us?

- Yeah, yeah, my folks are still together.

They actually live in Palm Springs.

- Palm Springs is one of my
favorite places to vacation.

Well listen, I have to run,

I hope to see you in person soon, okay.

- Bye, Justin.

Uh, Jim, get out here.

Hey Tom, are you still
there by any chance?

Just had a conference call
with Justin Timberlake

of all people.

Jim, get in here now.

- Yeah, that was a mind bender.

- Please come in here.

Hey, Tom, look, if you can vouch for Jim,

I'm ready to give him a
quarter million dollars

to make this movie happen.

Jim, would you get out here now.

- You know, I can
definitely vouch for Jim.

He's very trustworthy.

And Roger, you, oh no problem.

For what it's worth, I
think Justin Timberlake.

- Thanks for the water.

- I need to quit
impressions, today, tomorrow.

I don't know.

- On the next Impress M

- Once I read Piatte's original
script, I was engulfed.

I was moved.

It's haunting, it's disturbing.

Honestly, it's like my real house.

- Soap and cake.
