(Setup: Woody Allen wanted to keep the plot of Midnight In Paris a secret at least until Cannes, so when Tom got his pages he realized he was playing F. Scott Fitzgerald, but not that the story involved time-travel. Owen Wilson explains things

That was a FANTASTIC Owen Wilson impersonation! Did you see the movie? It was wonderful. I loved it.

But there was no time machine...

I really enjoyed the movie, too!

Maybe Owen meant the car was the time machine? Or maybe he thought Tom looked puzzled enough already and thought the time machine would simplify things?

That was truly a great impression. Hee.

I love how his accent circles around the vowels, hitting Owen squarely and then kind of bouncing off. The flailing may add to the effect as well--I can see Owen flailing.
