You
Space the final frontier
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise
Its continuing mission to explore strange new worlds
To seek out new life and new civilizations
To boldly go where no one has gone before
Friday, strap yourself in for the most fantastic voyage possible with Dennis Quay
How the hell can I be inside a van? I studied at Morton Rabbit
Martinshore
I'm possessed
Meg Ryan
Let go of that man
Inner Space, 8.30, Friday, on 9
Gillette introduces Sensor, a new system
A new technology that will change the way you shave forever
Sensor twin blades are individually mounted on remarkably responsive springs
They continually sense and automatically adjust to the individual curves of your face
No other razor comes close
Gillette Sensor, for the closest, smoothest, safest shave a man can get
Michael, how you going?
Not bad
Good to see you back on your feet again
How's the vet business?
Can't keep a good man down
But I wasn't too fit
Huh?
Eight months out of action
Eight months?
Sure, it makes you appreciate your health it does
Must have been a bit of a blow financially, I mean for the family
No, I had plenty to worry about without worrying about money
What do you mean?
Well when I set up practice, you know, one man band
Yeah?
My national mutual agent reckoned I ought to take out income protection
Good move?
Yeah, sure
Takes care of my family in case I get sick or injured and keeps the practice going
Tax deductible too
Vets life can get pretty rough out here
You're not wrong, anyway that was the best advice I ever had
Combat day 43625.2
While investigating an unusual radiation anomaly
The Enterprise has encountered what could almost be called a ghost from its own past
The Enterprise C, the immediate predecessor to this battleship
Sensors confirmed design and specifications captain
Analysis of hull and engine materials
Conformed to engineering patterns and methods of that time period
But that cruiser was destroyed with all hands over 20 years ago
Presumed destroyed
The Enterprise C was last seen near the Klingon outpost in a render of 3
Exactly 22 years, 3 months and 4 days ago
And now they're here
Has it been adrift for all those years or has it traveled through time?
It is a possibility captain
If that hypothesis is correct
The phenomenon we have just encountered would be a temporal rift in space
A rift?
Possibly the formation of a curl loop from super string material
It would require high energy interaction in the vicinity for such a structure to be formed
The rift is certainly not stable captain
It could collapse at any time
Captain, I'm able to scan the interior of the ship Nasser
Heavy damage to warp field nacelles and hull bearing struts
Internal space frame
Life signs captain
Readings are sporadic
It looks like they have massive casualties but some are still alive
Bridge to sick bay, emergency teams
Stand by transporter rooms
Understood
Be lay that order doctor
Respectfully
If I may suggest regardless of where they came from they are here now and they need our help
Commander if that ship has traveled into the future we could be dealing with variables that will alter the flow of our history
Enterprise C is sending out a distress call sir, audio only
Uh huh
This is captain Garrett of the starship Enterprise
To any Federation ship
We have been attacked by Romulan warships and require immediate assistance
We've lost warp drive, life support is failing
There's no record of the Romulans ever assaulting the Enterprise C
Voice message has ended captain, I'm only receiving their automated distress signal now
Open a hailing frequency
This is captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation of uh Federation Starship
Stand by to receive emergency teams
Commander we will handle this one step at a time
Stabilize their power systems, attend to their injured and avoid all discussions of where and when they are
Aye sir, lieutenant
Captain, message coming in from Starfleet monitor stations
Klingon battlecruisers headed toward this sector
Battle alert Mr. Crusher, condition yellow
Aye sir
Captain Garrett?
Yes
I'm commander William Riker, our emergency teams are on board your ship
Doctor?
The rest of the bridge crew is dead
She has a bad fracture and serious internal injuries
I'm gonna have to get her back to the Enterprise
To where?
We'll explain that later
You'll explain now commander
We're from the Federation starship, we handle the situation
Your ship is in good hand but we need to get you to our sick bay
Very well
Crusher to transporter room, two to beam directly to sick bay
Stand by for transport
It's pretty bad commander, looks like they were in a hell of a fight
If you can't stabilize the life support we're going to have to evacuate the ship
I think I can do it, I'll have to get to engineering though
The force to damage control team alpha, meet me on engineering level three
Commander
Thanks
Commander William Riker
Lieutenant Castillo, helmsman
Await team reporting in captain
On screen
Go ahead commander
We've stabilized life support, Mr LaForge is working on restoring the main power coupling but that'll take time
It's a real mess down here sir
Survivors?
125
Recommendations?
I'd hate to have to scrap her, Starfleet could certainly use another ship even if she is old
Agreed but we can't stay in this area too long
You have nine hours, if you can get her underway by then we'll escort her to starbase 105
If not, we'll evacuate the survivors and destroy the ship
Understood sir
Keep me posted, the guard out
I need to talk, somehow this, this is all wrong, this is not the way it's supposed to be
You must have some idea how things have changed
I look at things, I look at people and they just don't feel right
What things, what people?
You, your uniform, the bridge
What's the matter with the bridge?
It's not right
It's the same bridge, nothing has changed
I know that, I also know it's wrong
What else?
Families, there should be children on this ship
What? Children on the Enterprise?
Gynet, we're at war
No, we're not, at least we're not supposed to be
This is not a ship of war, this is a ship of peace
What you're suggesting?
I'm not suggesting, that ship from the past is not supposed to be here, it's got to go back
Run a full electrolyte report
Boost the level of trichordies
Try to relax
Dr. Szilard, report to Nalgi ward stat
Dr. Szilard, report to Nalgi ward stat
I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard
I'm Captain Garrett, how's my ship?
The support systems are being restored, continuing repairs
Where did you come from? We weren't picking up any other Federation ships in this sector
What's the last thing you remember?
We were answering the distress signal
Distress signal?
I've heard it, from the Klingon outpost, Arindra 3
But you didn't, did you?
This sickbay, I've never seen anything like it, even on the starbase, and your uniforms
What ship is this, Captain?
Please try to be still
I must insist, what ship?
You're aboard the Enterprise, Captain, 1701 D
You have come 22 years into the future
22 years?
Does my crew know yet?
No
I must tell them, I owe them that
If you wish, I can see that they're informed
Is there some reason they should not be told?
I am concerned that if you return to your own time with knowledge of the future...
Return to the battle? We barely escaped with our lives
If we returned, we'd be destroyed
Any idea how this happened?
There was a fierce volley of photon torpedoes we were hit
A bright light, and then here
It is possible that this exchange of fire was the catalyst for the formation of a temporal rift
History has no record of your battle with the Romulans
We were responding to a distress call from the Klingon outpost on Arindra 3
The Romulans were attacking it, we engaged them
But there were four war birds
Arindra 3 outpost was destroyed
It is regrettable that you did not succeed
A Federation starship rescuing a Klingon outpost
Might have averted 20 years of war
I still can't quite make myself believe it
22 years
I'm reading 40% on forward shields, what do you have on aft?
40%
That won't cut it
Commander, advise Lieutenant LaForge that shields are below minimum
Acknowledged
We'll never see our homes again, our families
How do you know your family's not still alive?
You're right, I don't
But imagine coming home after 22 years, would I even recognize them?
What are the stats on the main phaser banks?
Emitters available, 60% forward, 52% aft
Good, let's take a look at the torpedo launchers
I guess I'm lucky to be alive at all
You may not like the future, it's been a long war
The Federation has lost more than half of Starfleet to the Klingons
We were negotiating a peace treaty when I left
A lot of changes, Lieutenant, a lot of changes
When we get a break maybe you could fill me in on some of them
Photon banks are depleted, auxiliary fusion generators are down
There is a high degree of probability that the temporal rift is symmetrical, Captain
Then what would happen if the Enterprise C were to fly back through it?
Back, sir
The Enterprise C would emerge in her own time at almost the same instant she left
Right in the middle of the battle with the Romulans
Yes, sir
Is there any possibility she could survive?
None, sir
Then sending them back would be a death sentence
Remember
Lieutenant Barrett
She was the first galaxy class warship built by the Federation
Lieutenant Barrett
Forty-two decks
Communications
Capable of transporting over 6,000 troops
How long have you been on board?
Four years
Straight out of the Academy
I was lucky to get the Enterprise
Yeah, me too
I mean, my Enterprise
Lieutenant, how's the ship?
We've restored minimal shields in the Ford Phaser banks
Still no, Fogtron launchers or warp drive
Concentrate on the weapons system
What Captain Picard told me, the Federation can use all the help it can get
And soon
Our sensors have picked up Klingon warships in the sector, Captain
Why wasn't I informed, Mr. Castillo?
Captain, you shouldn't
As senior officer, I want you to be my liaison to the Enterprise D
Coordinate with tactical
That's me, Captain
Where do you think you're going?
I'm resuming my duties, Doctor
Captain, you need at least another 24 hours
Nonsense
Doctors always overprotect their patients
And Captains always push themselves too hard
Doctor, my ship and my crew need me now
24 hours might as well be 24 years
I need more
There is no more
I wish there were
I wish I could prove it
But I can't
Then I can't ask them to go back
You've got to
Kynan, they will die moments after they return
How can I ask them to sacrifice themselves based solely on your intuition?
I don't know
But I do know that this is a mistake
Every fiber in my being says this is a mistake
I can't explain it to myself, so I can't explain it to you
I only know that I'm right
Who is to say that this history is any less proper than the other?
I suppose I am
Not good enough, damn it, not good enough!
I will not ask them to die
40 billion people have already died
This war is not supposed to be happening
You've got to send those people back to correct this
And what is the guarantee that if they go back they will succeed?
Every instinct is telling me this is wrong, it is dangerous, it is futile
We've known each other a long time
You have never known me to impose myself on anyone
Or take a stance based on trivial or whimsical perceptions
This timeline must not be allowed to continue
Now I've told you what you must do
You have only your trust in me to help you decide to do it
Deflector shield technology has advanced considerably during the war
Our heat dissipation rates are probably double those of the Enterprise-C
We can hang in a firefight for a lot longer
Gynan?
Have you ordered yet, Tasha?
No, not yet
Is anything wrong?
Not a thing
Can I get free?
Just a couple of TKLs, I'm in a hurry
Oh, this is Lieutenant Castillo
First time for everything
First time?
It's just that I've never seen anything bother her before
What's a TKL?
Standard rations, food replicators are on minimum power
So everything else is diverted to the defensive systems
So where was I?
You've told me more about tactical in an hour than I learned in my last year at the Academy
You're gonna need it, Lieutenant
Hey, I've known you a whole day now, Lieutenant
I won't salute if you won't
What did she call you? Tasha?
Yeah
Most everyone calls me Castillo, my mother calls me Richard
Okay, Castillo
No, I think maybe I'd like it better if you called me Richard
Richard
This is the Captain, senior officers will report to my ready room immediately
Thank you so much for lunch
Captain, are you suggesting that we let them return and attempt to complete their mission?
I am, Doctor
Based on Guinan's intuition?
I don't accomplish anything, sir, there's no way they can save Narendra 3
Captain Garrett said there were four Romulam warbirds
The Enterprise C would be outmanned and outgunned
Unless we would rearm them with modern...
We can't do that, if we send that ship back with new technology we'll be altering the past
But that's what you're talking about anyway, isn't it, altering the past?
We're talking about restoring the past
But how could Guinan know that history's been altered if she's been altered along with the rest of us?
Perhaps her species has a perception that goes beyond linear time
There are many things about her species we can't easily explain
Yet it is very possible that she is correct
A ship from the past has travelled through time
How can we know what effect those events will have on the present?
Indeed, we shall never know for certain if Guinan is correct
But I have decided the consequences of that possibility are too grave to ignore
Dismissed
Sir, if you'd like my opinion...
I think I'm aware of your opinion, Commander
This is a briefing, I'm not seeking your consent
With all due respect, sir, you'd be asking 125 people to die a meaningless death
Not necessarily meaningless, Commander
The Klingons regard honor above all else
If the crew of the Enterprise-C had died fighting for the survival of a Klingon outpost
It would be considered a meaningful act of honor by the Klingon Empire
Even their deaths could have prevented this war
If the Enterprise-C returns to the battle and its mission is a success
History will be irrevocably changed
This timeline will cease to exist
And a new future will have been created
I've considered the alternatives
I'll go with Guinan's recommendation
Dismissed
If she's right, we may not even be in an alternate timeline
Who knows if we're even dead or alive?
Engineering
Is Engineering your destination as well?
What? Oh, Deck Six. Sorry
If I interpret your facial expressions correctly
I'll be able to see your face
I'll be able to see your face
I'll be able to see your face
If I interpret your facial expressions correctly
You are preoccupied with something unpleasant
No, I was just thinking
About a lot of things
I've been working with one of the officers on the Enterprise-C
He's nice. I like him
I'm worried about what's going to happen to him
We may never know what happens
If they succeed, we will not even realize that these events occurred
Shields are up to 72%
That's better
Good
Do you believe this, Guinan?
I discovered long ago that she has a special wisdom
I've learned to trust it
I'll arrange for you to speak with her if you wish
Captain, I would be lying to you if I told you there was a chance in hell of coming out of this alive
Why doesn't your ship come back with us?
The Romulans would be no match for your weaponry
I can't do that
No, I suppose not
You don't belong in our time any more than we belong in yours
To be honest with you, Picard
A significant number of my crew members have expressed a desire to return even knowing the odds
Some because they can't bear to live without their loved ones
Some because they don't like the idea of slipping out in the middle of a fight
But I have told them that in the here and now, the Federation needs another ship against the Klingons
And we'd better get used to being in the here and now
But if you go back, it could be a great deal more helpful
The war is going very badly for the Federation, far worse than is generally known
Starfleet Command believes that defeat is inevitable
Within six months, we may have no choice but to surrender
And you're saying that all this may be a result of our rivalry?
One more ship will make no difference in the here and now
But 22 years ago, one ship could have stopped this war before it started
Mr. Castillo
Yes, Captain
Inform the crew we're going back
Yes, Captain
The Romulans will get a good fight
We'll make it one for the history books
I know you will, Captain
Lieutenant Yaw
Permission to remain a moment, sir
Granted
Transporter room, Captain Picard is ready to return to his ship
Aye, Captain
I just wanted to say good luck
I'll try to put some of your tactical briefing to good use when we get back
Your ship has much more maneuverability than the Romulan counterparts of that era
Actually, if you could just isolate...
You'll do fine
If you get back to Earth and you see a man
Say, in his late 50s, taking a hard, long look across a crowded room
Hey, you never know
Goodbye, Lieutenant

Tonight at 6, the tanks rolled in to try to break the deadlock in Texas
I'm prepared to lead the Enterprise back myself, Captain Picard
Sir, Lieutenant Castillo is the last surviving senior officer
He will have limited support from ops, no tactical, reduced staff and engineering
I have good people willing to do their best
Certainly, history never meant for this ship to go into battle without her, Captain
I can't speak to that point, sir, but I can get us back to where we're supposed to be
I believe that's what Captain Garrett would want me to do
Commander data to Captain Picard
Go ahead
Sir, sensors are showing additional instability in the time rift
Possibly the result of the battle with the Klingons
Any signs of other Klingon vessels?
No, sir
Our coordinates have been transmitted to the Klingon command, sir
We mustn't remain here
Sir, it is my intention to return, unless you order me not to
How soon can your ship be ready?
We sustain moderate damage in the attack
I think we can get underway in a few hours
Make it so, we'll give you cover
Meeting of Darsis Darnett in the area on the double

We keep saying goodbye, don't we?
I wish we had more time
More time? I think we have all the time we can handle, as it is
Lieutenant
Can I get you something, Tasha?
Guinan, I have to know something
What happens to me in the other timeline?
I don't have alternate biographies of the crew
As I said to the Captain, it's just a feeling
But there's something more when you look at me, isn't there?
I can see it in your eyes, Guinan
We've known each other too long
We weren't meant to know each other at all
At least that's what I sense when I look at you
Tasha, you're not supposed to be here
Where am I supposed to be?
Dead
Do you know how?
No, but I do know it was an empty death
A death without purpose
Come
Yes, Lieutenant
Captain, I request a transfer to the Enterprise C
For what reason?
They need someone at Tactical
We need you here
I'm not supposed to be here, sir
Sit down, Lieutenant
What did she say to you?
I don't belong here, sir
I'm supposed to be dead
She felt it necessary
to reveal that to you
I felt it was necessary
I see
You realize that it is very possible the Enterprise C will fail
We will continue in this timeline
In which case, your life, hopefully, will continue for a long while
I know that
I know that they don't fail, Captain
That's why I'm requesting this transfer
You don't belong on that ship, Lieutenant
No, Captain Garrett belongs on that ship
But she's dead
And I think there's a certain logic in this request
There's no logic in this at all
Whether they succeed or not
Enterprise C will fail
Enterprise C will be destroyed
But Captain, at least with someone at Tactical
they will have a chance to defend themselves well
It may be a matter of seconds or minutes
but those could be the minutes that change history
Guinan says I died a senseless death in the other timeline
I didn't like the sound of that, Captain
I've always known the risks that come with a Starfleet uniform
If I'm to die in one
I'd like my death to count for something
Lieutenant
Permission granted
Thank you, sir
Thank you, sir
I'm showing phase of banks up to 70% efficiency
We've got an hour left
Let's see if we can get them up to 90
Aye, sir
Parker, you've got ops
And Fredericks, take the con
I'll handle Tactical
Lieutenant Tasha Yar reporting for duty, sir
You're not part of my crew
I am now
Captain Picard approved my request for transfer
This isn't a joke, Tasha
We're going back into the rift
Into battle when not coming back
I know the mission
These are my orders, Lieutenant
But I don't want you here
You need me here
Show me someone in your crew who can do the job better than I can
Welcome aboard
Take your station, Lieutenant
Aye, sir
Get into save of the century
You'll love it, it's great fun
Still the one
It's working, don't worry about that
I have bring you all the fun

Meanwhile, our long range scanners have picked up Klingon battle cruisers on an intercept course
Number and type of ships, Mr. Crusher
Three cavort class battle cruisers, sir
They're not even travelling to cloak themselves
I shouldn't be so confident after the pasting we gave them on Archer IV
Attention, all hands
As you know, we could have run the Klingon vessels
But we must protect the Enterprise C until she enters the temporal rift
And we must succeed
Let's make sure history never forgets
The name
Enterprise
Guard out
Mr. Data, shields are holding, sir
Hold fire
Mr. Crusher, come about to course 148-003
Aye, sir
Hold on, hold on, be ready

Which is exactly what happens to Michael Douglas who demonstrates why laughter isn't always the best medicine in the new movie Falling Down
Music
Michael Douglas is having a bad day
Hey, where do you think you're going?
Going home
If everybody will stay out of my way, then nobody will get hurt
Give me some money, give us your briefcase
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
In the new action thriller Falling Down, Academy Award winner Michael Douglas portrays a shattered everyman unable to cope with the stress of urban society
Douglas' character dubbed Defends after his vanity license plate abandons his car on the hottest day of the year in Los Angeles and embarks on a violent journey into madness
I think it's ironic that in the early 1990s now Southern California or California is holding down our economic growth
And a lot of it was a guy like Defense who worked in a defense contracting plant, you know, defending America
Worked hard, was proud of his work
And you know what? He did a good job
The Cold War is over and he's out of work
I'd like some breakfast
We stopped serving breakfast at 1130
Have you ever heard the expression, the customer is always right?
Yeah, well hey, I'm really sorry
Yeah, well hey, I'm really sorry too
No, no, it's an accident, it's an accident
Falling Down, which was inspired by a newspaper article about a frenzied truck driver who began ramming cars on a freeway, co-stars Barbara Hershey, Robert Duvall, and was directed by Joel Schumacher
Although Michael's behavior is outrageous and many times immoral, I think people have an understanding of why he's doing it
I rolled back prices to 1965, what do you think of that?
Donuts, package of six, how much?
Dollar twelve, too much
In the course of his destructive trek through LA, he tries to win back his ex-wife, played by Barbara Hershey, and his young daughter
You've got to stop calling me
It's Adele's birthday
Yes, I know it's her birthday, what do you want?
I'm coming home
I think the things he's confronted with are things that we're all confronted with in one way or another, hopefully more subtle circumstances, but I recognized all the circumstances from my life
I think there's a lot of people out there, both in urban situations and outside, who are in factories or jobs, who have been doing a job for a long time and find themselves out of work, not from their own failures, but from something else, and they're confused and they're angry, and I think he reflects that
Douglas says it wasn't until he arrived on the set that he was able to nail down the essence of his character
I got right there the day and I was still struggling around, the wardrobe worked out, and this wonderful hair person, I said, well I kind of think like this, and she said, let me try something
And I said, yeah, that's it, that's it, that sort of represents that ex-military, kind of debauched, slightly debauched look and feeling
Douglas found his acquired anonymity an asset during the production
Sometimes when I was walking around in that wardrobe, I wasn't getting recognized too often
We were able a lot of times to steal shots or scenes of me walking in and out of Los Angeles or waiting at bus stations without having to stage them because no one really was aware that it was me
The film was shot in the spring of 1992, coinciding with the Los Angeles riots that erupted after the Rodney King verdict
Although our film didn't deal as a racial issue, the economics of the situation were there
And the anger that we had in falling down, you certainly saw the reality was going on in the streets
I did a picture many years ago called The China Syndrome, and it was about nuclear power and right after the movie opened, about two and a half, three weeks after the movie opened, we had three mile island accidents
And there was a strange sense in falling down of being downtown on the streets, actually a couple days before, and we were waiting for this Rodney King verdict
And with the police that we had working with us, we knew it was going to be a hot issue
And then when it broke, it was, yeah, you felt like your picture was preordained
And while the picture is set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, director Schumacher believes the seeds of the story are universal
Yes, I certainly think it could happen in Manhattan or Chicago or, you know, Detroit
This kind of reality that the movie taps into can happen anywhere at any time
One soda, 12 ounces, 50 cent
So
So he kind of reminded me of you on a bad day
What do you mean?
Well, when you get really stressed and start throwing stuff around
I don't get stressed
I'm joking, he's not, he always makes a joke out of things
I don't
You make a joke
Actually, I like his haircut though, I need a haircut, what about that do for me?
I don't think it would work
Really?
I think it would make your cheeks look bigger
That's virtually impossible, you know, we shoot with a wide angle lens for that very reason
No way
Although the hairstyle actor Kevin Costner sported in the bodyguard, remember that one?
Oh, horrible
Sent a number of young trendsetters to the barber asking for the Costner cut
Chances are the Douglas do is not going to be a hot hair item
A hot hair item?
I don't know, I like his better than Costner's actually
Well, now Los Angeles isn't the only place that heats up in the summertime
All the way across the United States in a small New England resort town, actors Nicholas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson
found themselves in another hot spot along with Dabney Coleman, Michael Lerner and Giancarlo Esposito
in the new comedy Amos and Andrew
You tried to kill me
Why would I want to kill you?
Because I'm a thorn in the side of the white man
I'm the voice of my people, a loud angry voice that's not afraid to speak the truth about white America
What's your name?
Andrew Sterling
Nicholas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson star in the new comedy film Amos and Andrew
where Jackson plays successful black writer Andrew Sterling
who after settling into his new home, finds himself surrounded by police
who along with his new neighbors suspect him of being a burglar, simply because he's black
Saw someone in the house?
What was he doing?
Well, believe me Chief Tolliver, I'm no racist, I can assure you of that
but when you see a black man on this island with his arms full of stereo equipment
you know damn good and well what he's doing
Freeze!
After the local police realize they've made a prejudice mistaken identity
they attempt to cover it up by making a deal with career criminal Amos O'Dell, played by Cage
Yes sir, I go in, take the guy hostage, get myself up and I'm on the first bus out of town
Ain't that the deal boss?
That's the deal
Cage says that at first he questioned whether this film with a plot built on prejudice
could or should make people laugh
I was nervous, really because I, at the same time I was intrigued
but I hadn't really seen a movie like this before or read a script like this before
I have a shotgun, you have a frying pan
And dealing with a very very serious topic issue of today which is racism
putting it in a mainstream comedic format
and how was I going to say the lines in a way that people didn't think I was
you know, crossing the line, making fun of a very serious topic
Mr. Sterling, apart from being a thorn to the side of the white man, you got a regular job?
Maybe you've heard of the Pulitzer Prize
You won that?
I did
How much you win?
The police plan backfires as the phase saving charade turns into the real thing
a hostage crisis that catches the attention of the national media and escalates on account of it
As writer-director E. Max Fry explains, he took special care in bringing such a story to the screen
in the form of a comedy
There's a fine line, you gotta walk or you're gonna get skewered, you're gonna get slammed
or people are gonna say it's racist and I'm racist and you know, my outlook is racist
I ain't holding you hostage anymore, okay, but you gotta know we're in this together now, right?
You and me, Amos and Andrew, let's go
Don't say that
Fry says the premise of Amos and Andrew came from a slice of American life
It came from America, from the incidents that go on every day there that are on the 6 o'clock news and the 11 o'clock news
and you pick up the newspaper and you see so and so has been mistaken for a criminal and escaping in a stolen Mercedes
There's no burglar, there's no hostage and there's no crime being committed
There are good cops and bad cops and you know, good people, white or black and bad people, white or black
and it depends on the situation and a simple incident like this can snowball into a tragedy
Co-star Jackson says he had no qualms about making a comedy based on racism
One reason was that he feels his character is as guilty of prejudice as the rest
You're allergic to dogs and you have hay fever
Yes, I'm allergic to dogs and I have hay fever
That's too bad
Anyway, to him I'm probably just another nigger
Dogs are colorblind
I saw him as this egomaniac who did things and kind of used his ethnicity to run rampant and dare people to bother him because of it
and because he was this brilliant kind of guy that he was allowed to get away with a lot of things
Ironically, the film was in production when the Los Angeles riots broke out last year
A fact that had a tremendous effect on the cast and crew
It was a combination of feelings, you know, I felt embarrassed about it and I felt ashamed about it
I'm from LA, that's my home and that whole episode put everyone back 30 years, I thought
I know what you thought
It was an honest mistake
It was supposed to be different
It was supposed to be the kind of place where you don't lock your doors at night
Where you don't count your change at the grocery store
Where a man in his own home doesn't have to worry about being shot at and nearly killed by the local police simply because he's black
I had those feelings as well as also feeling like, you know, maybe now more than ever this picture really is relevant
But we carried on with our job
Because we were there doing something, a whole ethnic mix of people doing something very positive
So we knew that if we could do that, then somehow, somewhere, that positive feeling that we were putting together for this film would have to show somehow
Or be heard or be felt when people saw this film
My father made it in the white man's world, he wanted his son to make it in the white man's world too
But don't you for one second think that I've forgotten who I am or where I come from
While Cage and Jackson did battle against the bad guys on screen, off screen Amos and Andrew's production crew were busy fighting a cast of creepy
Critters that turned up on location in Wilmington, North Carolina
Shooting mostly nights, the crew often encountered tree frogs, mosquitoes and other unwelcome extras to the movie
It reminds me of when I was in South Carolina, not far from Wilmington, we were doing a shoot down there and there were a lot of palmetto bugs
Giant, huge, and you know they go crunch when you step on them
And one time I was in this nice resort and I was brushing my teeth and one fell from the ceiling right into the sink, scared the heck out of me
And there was one in my bed, I didn't sleep the entire night
But they don't hurt you, so don't worry they don't hurt you
Oh they don't?
No, you know if you'd like to see more of Cage or Jackson, the pair have plenty of on screen credit
Cage who was most recently seen jumping from a plane in a sequined Elvis suit, remember that one, in Honeymoon in Vegas
Has also starred in popular comedies like Raising Arizona and Peggy Sue Got Married
Raising Arizona was fabulous, John Goodman was also in that
And Jackson, who's currently battling bad people and puns opposite Emilio Estevez in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1
Has also demonstrated his serious side in the films Jungle Fever, Goodfellas, and most recently, Patriot Games

And Marissa Tomei, who was nominated in the best supporting actress category for her performance in the comedy My Cousin Vinny
The truth will be told March 29th when the Oscars are broadcast live from Los Angeles
Oscars aren't the only thing people are talking about. The nominations for the 1993 Juno Awards, Canada's equivalent of the Grammys, have been announced
And Quebec's Céline Dion topped the list for the women with seven nominations including Canadian Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year, all of those

Who will compete against a number of other artists for awards in 33 categories
In South Africa, American actor John Savage, who has appeared in such films as Do the Right Thing and The Deer Hunter
Suffered minor injuries after he was attacked and beaten in the black township of Soweto
Savage, who was white, says the attack occurred when he stopped to help some school children caught up in the unrest between striking taxi drivers and police
Savage, who didn't know his attackers, says he was finally rescued by several members of the militant Pan-Africanist Congress
In Do the Right Thing, Savage plays a white man living in a rough black neighborhood. The movie opened in South Africa last month
Country crooner Clint Black and his wife, actress singer Lisa Hartman, are packing it in and heading east to Somalia
The couple have announced that they have volunteered to participate in an upcoming USO tour in March and will sing together for the first time
The couple, who will entertain the US troops with a series of informal concerts, have already started getting their immunization shots
Including tetanus, influenza, typhoid, yellow fever, meningitis, and measles, to name a few
And finally, topping off this week's international news, filmmaker Steven Spielberg has agreed not to make his next movie, Schindler's List, inside the Auschwitz death camp memorial in Poland
Instead, Spielberg and the World Jewish Congress have reached an agreement that allows the director to build a replica of the concentration camp outside the camp's main gate
The movie about Oskar Schindler, a Nazi who rescued 1,300 Jews, is set to begin filming in March
At every Hollywood premiere and party, you'll always find two things, celebrities and celebrity photographers
While the stars are kicking up their heels, the photographers are clicking off shots in an effort to capture interesting pictures
They can then sell to a bevy of magazines and newspapers around the world
In fact, just the other day, I was in Aspen and had a paparazzi photographer take my picture with MC Hammer
Oh, he's not MC anymore, with Hammer. I'm hoping they'll sell it, we'll see
Now, if you think that the life of a celebrity photographer sounds like a good idea for a movie plot, you're not alone
But leave it to Hollywood to add a few twists of its own before the film hits the big screen, and then lights, camera and action, it's body shot
With a new hairstyle, that's Terminator 2 Judgment Day's Robert Patrick
This time, he's starring in a film called Body Shot
Currently in production in Los Angeles, Body Shot is the story of paparazzi photographer Mickey Sass
Who becomes obsessed with a rocker named Chelsea Savage, played by Michelle Johnson
Okay, I'm ready, let's do it
Body Shot is Robert Patrick's third film after he was catapulted to fame last summer as T-1000 in Terminator 2
He says the instant celebrity was great, but also a little bewildering
And it was neat to be recognized, but literally, I was like in Chicago screen testing for a movie
And the film had only been out for like four days, and I had like business guys like yelling, hey, the new Terminator
I was like, wow, I mean, it was just like, you know, unknown actor and all of a sudden, you know, you're the new Terminator
So it was a great experience
I'm not complaining, but there was new things to get used to, like, go buy cat food
You really don't want to be recognized, you might not be having a good day, and then all of a sudden, oh man
But the T2 fans are the greatest
And he says the newfound attention by the media helped him prepare for his role as a paparazzi photographer in Body Shot
Unlike many actors who disdain still photographers, Robert Patrick respects celebrity shutter bugs
It's kind of a give and take kind of a deal, it's so surreal anyway
They take your picture and you get the publicity
So I know that for a big star, it could be very, you know, aggravating to have them constantly after you
I'm not hounded like that by no means
Action
In Body Shot, the plot gets interesting when his character meets a woman who is the spitting image of his obsession, Chelsea Savage
I am approached by a model and her manager to do some shots
And this model happens to be a lookalike
And I sort of fall for this model because she looks like the object of my obsession
And we sort of start having an affair
And I'm, you know, beginning to fall in love with her
But in the back of my mind, something's not up here, you know, something's not right here
And his hunch is right
That model, Danielle, who is also played by Michelle Johnson, turns out to be closer to Chelsea Savage than he thought
And her intentions aren't so pure, as a murder plot is revealed
I play a woman who sets up this photographer, Mickey, for murder
And I try to frame him, but in the midst of all of it, I kind of make the mistake of falling in love with him
So it botches up my evil plans
Is that the move?
I don't want to have to shoot you, buddy
But I will
Michelle says playing the conspiring model was a lot of fun
I enjoy playing bad girls. It's much more fun than playing good girls
I don't know, I just have more fun
If you shoot me, an innocent man dies
Drop, face down
When the police get involved, LAPD detective Christine Weiler, who's played by Kim Meori, is assigned to the case
One, she's a really strong woman, she's a very positive female character
Which, you know, obviously drew me to the character
And on top of that, it was a non-specific role
In other words, it was not written to be played by an Asian-American actress
Her name is Christine Weiler
And so I play her as a divorced cop
Her husband was Charlie Weiler
And the more she learns about the case, the more she questions his guilt
Oh, come on, the guy is a photographer, one court order and he goes maniac
Marker
And if you ask director Dimitri Lagothadis, he will tell you Body Shot is a film noir thriller that won't turn off mainstream audiences
You get to escape a little bit, you have a little fun
And you've got some characters that are sexy and interesting and also they walk these fine lines of morality
You know, when you wake up every morning you want to say, well, you know, I hope today that I can tell the truth about 90% of the time
I can make really good decisions about 90% of the time
And at the end of the day you sort of look at the tally sheet and you say, did I do that?
Cut
That's a cut, thank you, we are cut
If Michelle Johnson looks familiar, you might remember seeing her in the film Blame It on Rio with Michael Caine and Demi Moore
Do you remember that one? I think you do
And though she had supporting roles in the films Death Becomes Her and Far and Away
Johnson hopes her role in Body Shot will help her achieve true leading lady status

This year overflow crowds filled the screening rooms at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah
to get a glimpse of the new features and documentaries from many of the world's undiscovered talent
At film festivals like Sundance, up and coming filmmakers who don't have the benefit of big budgets and big studios to back them
are forced to find ingenious and inexpensive ways to bring their labors of love to fruition
But where there is a will there is a way and nobody knows that better than newcomer Robert Rodriguez
whose winning ways have begun with his first feature effort entitled El Mariachi
El Mariachi
A film is called El Mariachi and it's the story of a Mariachi player who gets embroiled in a case of mistaken identity
when his guitar case is accidentally thought to be a gangster's gun case
The air thrusts him into the violent underworld of the futuristic border town in Mexico he has unfortunately entered
El Mariachi debuted in this quiet rocky mountain town of Park City, Utah
where young independent filmmakers make a pilgrimage each year to vie for exposure at the Sundance Film Festival
It was here that 23 year old writer director Robert Rodriguez got more exposure than he ever dreamed of receiving
for his small film El Mariachi, a film he made for $7,000
Low budgets don't necessarily mean low quality
I mean when you have a low budget you're forced more to use your creativity and you have much more opportunity to invent things that probably have never been done before
It's almost for making your own rules
And make his own rules he did using real life props when he couldn't afford Hollywood sets
You work with what you have around you
For instance in our movie we use stuff in the movie that we knew we already had
That pit bull that everyone laughs at, the dog in our movie, he was our dog
The school bus was lent to us, the motorcycle, the turtle we found on the road
If you just look around and just look at what's around you in a different way you might find stuff that makes something very entertaining
And a lot of people tend to forget that what's around them is very interesting because they've just seen it so many times
What's old to you is fresh to somebody else
The young filmmaker says he's been directing films since he was a child with an early VCR purchased by his father
It came with a camera attached, one of the old video cameras where you needed to look at a TV to see what you were focusing on because there was no viewfinder
And since I had nine brothers and sisters I always had a cast and crew and I would make movies for years just for myself really
I mean this movie was very expensive to me because I'm used to making movies for 20 bucks
When it came time to find an audience for his film Robert thought it would be best received by Spanish speaking film goers
So he boarded a plane for LA with an idea to meet film distributors who serviced that particular market
So what I did while I was waiting, I'd never been in Los Angeles before, that's where the distributors were
I dropped a demo tape off at the biggest agency I knew, I had read Robert Newman's name with International Creative Management
They represent guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger, they would never sign somebody right off the street
I just wanted to start opening some doors and they saw the demo tape the next day they called me back and said
We want to sign you up, we want to represent you as a writer and a director
And what began at the Sundance Film Festival has become as they say Hollywood history
ICM helped secure Columbia Pictures as the film's distributor and El Mariachi became the lowest budgeted film of all time to be picked up by a major studio
Robert credits much of the film's success to the positive word of mouth at Sundance
So this is an American independent festival, so these are all independently made movies
And my movie fits right in because it was so independently made no one was even supposed to see it, so it fits right in perfectly

Here's another story about Robert Rodriguez, they're spreading like wildfire
Is it true though?
No, of course it's true, I wouldn't be telling it
When he was a struggling filmmaker down in Texas, a couple months ago
He sold his body to science
What?
For experiments at this medical facility in Texas
They took off some skin grafts on the back of his arms
He said they looked like little crescents on the back of each arm
And he made $2,000 over a five day period by doing that
Just to make money for his art
Wow, that's dedication don't you think?
Sure is
So
I wonder what I could sell, you know I need some money
You know what Mike, nobody would buy any part of your body
I could have a small sale
You know Robert Rodriguez is on his way, no question about that
Since receiving accolades and the audience award at the Sundance Film Festival
Rodriguez has also been giving something that he is not used to
Cash, Columbia Pictures has recently given him $6 million for his next picture
Which is likely to be a remake of his original $7,000 film, El Mariachi
They're gonna make it big with car crashes and stuff
Special effects and
Yeah, probably ruin it
We can't wait for that one
What do Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, Spike Lee and Danny DeVito all have in common?
The Oscars
Why? Well after many months of speculation over who would get the nod come nomination day
These unfortunate few have one thing in common
None of them made the cut
But if they didn't, who did?
Music
While the rest of the world was fast asleep
Hollywood, or at least its tireless press corps, was up bright and early
4.45 a.m. to be exact
To hear the 1992 Academy Award nominations
Now there are always a few surprises
But this year Hollywood found out that big money doesn't necessarily mean big nominations
For the past two months the talk of the town in Hollywood has been Oscar
As everyone places their bets and tries to predict this year's nominees
In the past it's usually movies with big names stars and big time budgets that take the nod come Oscar time
But this year with nearly 30% of the nominations in major categories going to independent films
It's a whole new ball game
While it's not a surprise that a traditional Hollywood movie like Clint Eastwood's revisionist western Unforgiven
Would be honored with nine Oscar nominations
It is unusual for an independent film like Howard's End
At eight million dollars Howard's End cost less to make than Tom Cruise earned for a few good men
But Jerry Rich, senior vice president of marketing at Miramax
Says it's the movie, not the bottom line, that matters
It was a very strong year for independents and there were some very noteworthy films from the independent arena
And I think that what we saw today was a reflection of the strength of the independents rather than
The weakness of the major studio films
There's no way I could beat you is there?
Howard's End wasn't the only independent film to hit it big in Hollywood
Miramax's little known film The Crying Game cost only 4.2 million dollars to make
And went home with the second highest number of nominations at six
Including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor for Irishman Stephen Ray
And the biggest surprise of all
The 1992 nominees for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role are Jay Davidson in The Crying Game
The Crying Game is a movie of many mysteries
And I think the press is very cognizant of that and has been very sensitive to that
And very careful about not giving the public too much information
So I think with today there will be a lot of discussion about The Crying Game having six nominations
And I think everybody will be very prudent and very careful in the information they do communicate
Unlike last Oscar season when Rambling Rose was the only independent film to receive multiple Oscar nominations
This year independent filmmakers have turned out gems for the price of rhinestones
Like the Miramax film Passion Fish which cost only seven million dollars to make
An independent film is a film that was made for a modest budget
And it's also a film that's released in a more specialized manner
And in many cases one or two theaters in each of the major markets
So it's a very different type of movie
Apparently good things do come in small packages because Miramax's Passion Fish earned two Oscar nominations
John Sayles is vying for the Best Original Screenplay award
And Mary MacDonald is up for the Best Actress award
Against another Miramax film star Joan Plowright who's been nominated for Enchanted April
I love creating characters that are as different as possible from the last one I did let's say
As long as there is a quality about the script and the quality about the people I'm going to work with
That I admire
Then I'm happy
I got a writer in here who's got a pitch I think you ought to hear I think it's hot
Independent film distributor Fineline has also gotten into the Oscar game
Their hit film The Player which poked fun at the Hollywood scene took home two nominations
One for its screenwriter Michael Tolkien and another for the film's director Robert Altman
Who never thought Hollywood would take the teasing all the way to Oscar time
The Hollywood community will receive this film probably as a home movie
Boy, you thought you could go
Finally New Line's Damage rounds out the list of independent nominees
As Miranda Richardson goes to bat for the Best Supporting Actress award
Had Oscar ever entered her mind?
I don't think about that
Now Hollywood is unlikely to give up on its big budget features and big name stars
But a few wins on Oscar night will undoubtedly mean bigger and better things for independent filmmakers in years to come
Well some surprises there
I know you were there very early
Very early 4.45 in the morning
I didn't see you at all
Oh no I was in bed
Were you surprised by any of the nominations?
I was, specifically Malcolm X
I loved the movie so much, I know you loved it too
They got two nominations, Denzel got nominated and he should have
But Spike should have as well
Lots of other things, cinematography was beautiful, the music
Come on guys
A snub there for sure
But The Crying Game was one of my favorite films of the last year and I hope it does very very well
Of course I haven't seen Unforgiven yet
Oh, slap you, I'll not forgive you for that
While the Oscar nominations aren't the only game in town, the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation has just come out with its nominees
For the 13th Annual Razzie Awards
Dishonoring the worst achievements in film
Contending for worst picture, The Bodyguard, Christopher Columbus, The Discovery, Final Analysis, Newsies and Shining Through
Oh I have a good Shining Through story but I'm not going to tell it
I love that story
For worst actor, it's Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone and Tom Selleck
And finally for worst actress, Kim Basinger, Lorraine Bracco, Melanie Griffith, Whitney Houston and Sean Young take the nomination nod
Winners of the 13th Annual Razzie Awards will be announced March 28th, the day before the Oscars
I'm so happy they don't give Razzie's for entertainment news programs
We'd win them every year

God of the broad vista, the panoramic view, the wide angle lens
Do not allow our obsession with big things, big ideas, big projects, big money
To blind us to appreciation of small wonders, minute marvels, precious details
God of all stories, big and small, teach us the story of small things
Let us not hold as of no consequence any of your small ones, including ourselves
In a universe where one tiny baby's birth in a borrowed cow shed
Is the smallest story ever to change an entire world
Although he's been singing for more than 40 years and has 91 LPs to his credit
Veteran entertainer Tony Bennett still has a few tricks up his sleeve
For his latest effort, Bennett pays homage to one of his idols and singing contemporaries
The LP, Perfectly Frank, that's Sinatra of course
Let someone start believing in you
Let him hold out his hand
Let him find you
Watch what happens
When you think of Grammy nominees, visions of young hip artists probably come to mind
Well, think again. This year, a vintage vocalist singing the songs of another old timer is nominated
Yes, Tony Bennett has a chance at another Grammy
This time for his new album, Perfectly Frank, a salute to Frank Sinatra
I don't believe your heart is going to move
Maybe it's going to walk away
Bennett's career has spanned more than three decades
He says he was inspired to record this album as a reaction to what he calls mediocre songwriting by young singers today
Who insist on writing their own music
The reason that I did the album was to show the young people if you're going to write songs
Stretch up to a Jerome Kern, to a Cole Porter
Stretch up to that kind of quality because instead of getting a hit that will last for six weeks or six months
Instead of that, get a song that will last right through the seasons, right through the years
I love piano
In choosing the collection of music for Perfectly Frank, Tony sought the advice of Sinatra's former pianist
Bill Miller, his accompanist, I told him I was sketching out an album saluting Sinatra
He said, well, stay away from the big hits, he said, do the torch songs of Sinatra
And sure enough he was right because those songs are like little stories, like little short stories
And they tell stories and they're much more interesting to listen to
Softly nice, it's paradise
It's what I long to see
You made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me for feeling amorous
It's no surprise that Bennett is paying tribute to Sinatra
Old Blue Eyes has often publicly honored Bennett, calling him the best singer in the business
Bennett's most remembered song, the tune that put him on the map in the world of pop music
Was the 1962 classic, I Left My Heart in San Francisco
It's a song that he didn't have a lot of faith in
In fact, he chose to place it on the B side of the record
I put the A side once upon a time and figured that it would just be a local hit in the San Francisco area, the other side
And it was turned around by the public
It became an international song, it's become my signature song
It's afforded me an adventure, it came out in 1962
I was allowed to sing my first concert ever at Carnegie Hall because of it
And then from there, I've been literally sold out throughout the world ever since that time
After winning two Grammys in 1963, Bennett is excited that 30 years later he could have a third
Oh, it's terrific, you know
I'm just thrilled that someone was nice enough to nominate me
It's wonderful
It's marvelous
That you should care for me
As if being honored by the music industry isn't enough, Bennett is also being honored for his other love, his paintings
This next spring, the Smithsonian Institute is going to give me a permanent collection of my paintings
And an exhibition of video of my music
So there'll be a permanent collection in the Smithsonian Institute and I'm thrilled with that
So whether Bennett's fans are visiting the Smithsonian or the concert hall, this crooner's just thrilled to be able to delight his audiences around the world
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the stream
They're beautiful!
Applause
Bennett, who's been nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance category, will compete for the award against Rosemary Clooney, Michael Feinstein, Bobby Short, and Julie Wilson on February 24th
On the U.S. pop music charts, the soundtrack to Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston's movie, The Bodyguard, is still number one
Kenny G's LP, Breathless, holds on to number two
And Dr. Dre's, The Chronic, hangs in there at number three
And now let's give a listen to Arrested Development's new song, Mr. Wendell, while we take a look at this week's top albums on pop music charts around the world
Mr. Wendell has freedom, a free that you and I think is dumb
Free to be without the worries of a quick to dis society, for Mr. Wendell's a bum
His only worry's our sickness and an occasional harassment by the police and their chase
Uncivilized we call him, but I just saw him eat off the food we've wasted
Civilization, are we really civilized? Yes or no?
We're the judge, with thousands of innocent men who could be brutally enslaved or killed before a racist grudge
Mr. Wendell has tried to warn us about our ways, but we don't hear him talk
Is it his fault when we've gone too far and we got too far, cause of him we walk
Mr. Wendell, a man, a human in flesh, but not by law
I need you dignity to stand with pride, realize that all in all you stand tall
Go ahead Mr. Wendell
Yeah, Mr. Wendell, yeah, yeah, Mr. Wendell
Mr. Wendell, yeah
Oh, Lord.
Mr. 엄마

Now here's a look at some of the famous folk
who are adding another year this week.
Musician George Harrison is 50 years old.
Harrison, who made it big in the 60s as one of the Beatles,
has since found success on his own with the release of a number of solo LPs
like Living in the Material World and All Things Must Pass.
And actress Elizabeth Taylor is also another year older.
Now 61 years old, Taylor had her first major film role in the 1944 national Velvet
and has since racked up a number of credits including Cleopatra,
Father of the Bride, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,
and two Oscars for her work in the films Butterfield 8
and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
And singer Johnny Cash is also 61 years old.
Cash, who debuted on the country music scene in the mid-50s,
is best known for his hit songs There You Go and I Walk the Line.
Cash will most likely spend the day with his family,
including his wife June and daughter, country music singer Roseanne Cash.
Actress Joanne Woodward is also blowing out birthday candles this week, 63 to be exact.
Woodward, who is best remembered for her Oscar-winning performance in the film
Three Faces of Eve, has also starred in a number of other films,
including From the Terrace and A Fine Madness.
Woodward will probably be spending her birthday with her husband, actor Paul Newman.
And topping off this week's Celebrity Birthdays is actor Tony Randall, who is 73 years old.
Randall is best known for his role as neat freak Felix Unger,
opposite the manically messy Jack Klugman in the popular TV series The Odd Couple.
Incidentally, the pair recently revised their odd couple routine on stage at the University of California in Los Angeles.
In Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner's movie The Bodyguard,
Costner portrayed a man whose mission was to protect the life of a pop singer played by Houston.
This fictional storyline has become reality for some stars,
and that's why Moshe Alon, a real-life bodyguard, has found it easy to make a lucrative living, only in Hollywood.
At any Hollywood gala event, a casual observer can always spot the stars.
On the other hand, the person you are least likely to notice is their bodyguard,
unless of course he looks like Kevin Costner.
The Bodyguard with Costner in the title role and Whitney Houston as his client
ranks as one of the most profitable movies ever made by the Warner Bros. studio,
having grossed more than $106 million to date.
And just as the Tom Cruise film Top Gun sent young men flocking to the nearest U.S. Navy recruiting offices,
the Bodyguard has prompted some would-be Costners to take aim at the prospect of being a real guardian angel.
The instructor at this shooting range near Hollywood is among the best in the business.
He's Moshe Alon, the head of a company called Professional Security Consultants and a bodyguard to the stars.
He and his staff provided security for Elizabeth Taylor's wedding at the Michael Jackson estate.
In fact, he's so good that Liz won't leave home without him.
And when two members of the popular TV series Beverly Hills 90210 recently visited Israel, Alon's native country,
they decided to take him with them.
It was there, Alon admits, that the 90210 phenomenon caught him with his guard down.
I wasn't prepared mentally to 9, 14 years old, jumping and running and crazed completely.
I mean, the first time I saw the show was after I started working with them, and I really got to like the people.
Nevertheless, I never know that in Israel or I heard all over the world, there's going to be such an hysteria when they're coming in.
Unlike this movie scene, fans in Israel didn't carry the TV stars away, prompting Bodyguard Alon to come to the rescue.
Alon says Costner's character could have prevented this by doing more advanced work.
And he says he's never heard of professional bodyguards shooting with their eyes closed.
Does anybody know why you keep your eyes open? No tears.
Alon says don't get him wrong. All in all, he actually liked Costner's bodyguard.
For example, I like the idea that he wasn't such a huge guy.
You don't look like a bodyguard.
What did you expect?
Well, I don't know, maybe a tough guy.
This is my disguise.
I like the exciting part of them falling in love.
The only thing I can figure is for you to take me out.
Of course, the possibility of falling in love with beautiful, wealthy clients is surely on the minds of new recruits.
What has certainly been known to happen, Alon says, is definitely discouraged in his company, which employs more than 100 people, mostly men.
It's not because we are chauvinists, it's just that not too many of them are coming out from law enforcement and available in the market.
So, women are very trainable. Women are excellent shooters.
They find that they have less ego when they come to shooting range or driving range.
The problem is the clients. Some clients feel more secure with a man versus a woman.
Also, I remember one client, one client I remember, who wanted only women protecting his wife.
While being a bodyguard has its mundane side, protecting one of his clients at an event like the American Music Awards can be as stressful as watching for terrorists in South America.
And Alon should know he's done both.
It's less of a pressure working in the Hollywood area, but we have to be aware that over there we know who we're looking for.
We're looking for a certain guerrilla group, a certain group of people who might do something versus Hollywood, versus here dealing with some people who might just want to be famous and push the trigger, you know?
Despite the stress and the boredom, Alon says there is simply no other job like his.
And by the way, he says, if Kevin Costner ever decides to change careers, he won't have to look very far.
Him, I would hire in a second, sure. You know how popular we'll be? How many funkers we'll get then, huh?
You know, some people want to have big houses and fast cars. I want a bodyguard.
You do?
Yes.
Why?
Well, it would just, you know, because when you're a woman and you live kind of in an unsafe city, it would just be nice to have one.
In fact, one day when I was doing a show in kind of a bad area of town, the production crew hired me a bodyguard, which was an LAPD officer off duty as my bodyguard.
And it was just so cool. Everywhere I went to have this little shadow there taking care of you.
So who would you choose to have as your bodyguard?
As my bodyguard? Oh my goodness.
Some big athlete or something?
Yeah, but I think you'd have to be really bright and intuitive. I think maybe someone who was a former police officer, maybe?
Oh really?
I don't know.
Probably a lot of people would like to guard your body.
Awww, aren't you sweet.
Okay, that wraps this edition of World Entertainment Report. Make sure and tune in next week when we talk to rich in love stars Albert Finney, Kyle McLaughlin, and Piper Laurie.

This time I know it's real, the feeling that I feel
I know if I put my mind to it, I know that I really can do it
But it's gonna take money...

A fire engine I can dig. But some things are sacred.
Where's Fish?
He's on his way up.
What happened?
We blew it.
Fish, what happened?
We blew it.
So they just said.
They're right.
Do you get any details?
No, not all of them.
Some of them?
I'm going to have to know sooner or later.
Chano?
Well, Barney, we staked out in the car across the street from this apartment building, right?
We've been there all morning.
Finally, the suspect comes out carrying that box.
Fish calls out to him.
Oh, police officers.
But Fish forgot to roll down the window.
Sir, the guy can't hear us.
I thought it was down.
We never should have washed the car.
Anyway, I jump out into the street, pull out my piece and say, hold it, police officer.
The guy takes off down the block.
We go right after him.
The manna falls down.
I fall on top of him.
So there we are rolling around in the car.
You want to hear all this?
No, but I have to.
I suggested a cover-up.
Anyway, what happens?
I'm lying there with two garbage cans around my foot.
And then Fish runs into the alley and he leaps over us like one of those, what do you call those things in Africa that run and leap through the air?
Slaves.
You mean a gazelle?
Yeah, that's like a big, beautiful gazelle.
Proof that age and grace can go together.
Anyway, Fish chases the guy down the alley.
The guy drops the box, jumps over a fence and gets away with it.
Leaving us with this story.
And 20 kilos of marijuana individually wrapped in one kilo packages.

That's almost $18,000.
You got that much on you?

Come on, Frazier.
We'll negotiate, we'll negotiate.

I didn't break in.

Well, I went there last Saturday for some samples.
Miniature hot dogs, little cheese pieces.
Then I got sleepy, and when I woke up, the store was closed.
Where did you sleep?
In the executive washroom.
What? They've got a television set in there.
I'm afraid you can be held for trespassing, Mr. Holman.
Well, that didn't hurt anything.
I was just watching television.
Then I got hungry again.
So I went in the gourmet department, and I opened a few cans.
But I'll pay them back as soon as I get my Social Security check.
Why didn't you get out of there before they found you?
I overslept.
Couldn't find an alarm clock.
Okay, Mr. Holman.
But first, downstairs, we have to get some fingerprints and have a few pictures taken, huh?
Pictures? Oh, well, I'm sorry.
I don't look a little more presentable.
It's okay, Mr. Holman. You look just fine.
Hey, Hearst, can you take me to the...
Yeah, sure. You too, Frazer.
Hey, look here, man. My picture's gonna be in the paper, man.
Oh, no, baby. We don't want you to develop a following.
Fourth precinct, Wojahowicz.
Uh, just a second.
Barney, it's Lieutenant Riley from Narcotics.
He says they're sending a guy over to pick up the marijuana we confiscated.
Okay, tell him it's waiting for him.
All right.
It's waiting here, all 20 kilos.
Okay.
Once you get it ready, pull it out of the closet.
All right.
Hey, you know what?
You look great. How do you feel?
Fine, fine, fine.
It's, uh, just a little stung from eating the wrong foods.
You better, uh, you better call Bernice.
She was very worried.
I intend to. I believe in giving credit where credit is due.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The doctor wants me to drink a lot of fluids so I can go to the bathroom a lot.
Oh, you mean, uh, just go on as if nothing had happened?
Yeah.
Hey, uh, Tomlowe.
Yeah?
I thought you guys said you got 20 kilos of marijuana.
That's right. That's it.
There's 18 now.
What?
18, you sure?
Count it.
Count it again.
Um, you must have made a mistake, won't you?
I didn't make a mistake.
