Billy, Greg, and Jimmy are sitting having lunch together when Billy asks Greg to try to get him an audition in a movie. Greg says he’ll try and see what he can do. That night, Greg announces that Billy might get the part. Jimmy asks Greg to let him pitch a movie idea. Greg says no. Jimmy asks him why not. Greg says Jimmy doesn’t take it seriously and besides his ideas are written on a napkin. Kim tells Greg to make a few calls because Jimmy is family. Greg says he already helped Jimmy enough.
The next day, Jimmy asks Greg if he mentioned him at his meeting with the movie executives. Greg tells him no. Billy comes in and announces that he got a movie role. One of the movie executives walks by, but Greg refuses to say anything to him. Jimmy tries to go over and talk to him, but Greg stops him and finally agrees to help him. That night, Jimmy asks if Greg if he talked the movie guys yet. Greg says no. He gives Jimmy various books, scripts, and movies and tells him to study them and when he is finished he will make the call. Greg tells Kim that Jimmy will quit and he won’t have to pitch his idea. Two days later, Jimmy announces that he finished with all the materials. Greg is shocked and tells him he still isn’t going to call the studio. Jimmy, Kim, and Christine are angry at Greg for lying.
Greg is at a meeting with Mr. Savitsky when Jimmy comes into pitch his idea. Greg tells him he is wasting his time and tries to leave, but Savitsky forces him to stay and listen. His idea is for a futurist, sci-fi, romantic adventures about a government who makes clones of everyone in the country so if anybody needs a body part they have a perfect match. The main character is Dr. Jake Webber a bio-medical researcher. Jake’s wife falls ill and needs a heart transplant, but when Jake goes to harvest her clone he falls in love with her and is forced to make an agonizing decision. Savitsky passes and leaves for a meeting. Jimmy tells Greg to let him have it. Greg says it was a great idea and that he should pitch it to another studio.
