BUNCH
OF NEW GAGS IN FOR YOU.
WHAT, DOES HE WANT US
TO BLOW UP L.A.?
IT'S NO JOKE, SONNY.
THE WRITER WAS A LITTLE UPSET,
AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED.
I FOUGHT IT.
AND THE STUDIO IS BACKING HIM
ALL THE WAY.
THEY SAY IT'S HIS BALL GAME.
SO TOMORROW MORNING AT 8:00,
ON STAGE 6,
HE'S HAVING A MEETING
WITH YOU FELLAS
AND HE'S GONNA SHOW YOU
A GREAT IDEA FOR A NEW ENDING.
BIGGEST EARTHQUAKE EVER.
YOU GUYS ARE TRYING
TO DRIVE TO SAFETY.
THE FIRST THING WE DO
IS COLLAPSE THIS BUILDING
INTO A GIANT CREVICE.
[WHISPERS]
Giant crevice.
NOW, YOU'RE DRIVING
THROUGH EXPLOSIONS,
BODIES FLYING EVERYWHERE,
FIRE AND...
YOU'RE JUST ABOUT
TO REACH SAFETY
WHEN BAM--
WE BLOW THE BRIDGE.
THEN YOU FELLAS
WILL HAVE TO RAPPEL DOWN
INTO THE GORGE--
THERE'LL BE A LOT OF FIRE
AND SMOKE AND EXPLOSIONS--
UP THE OTHER SIDE TO SAFETY.
ALL IN ONE SHOT?
ALL IN ONE SHOT.
FLAMES, EXPLOSIONS, DEATH.
EVERYTHING.
AND YOU GUYS LEAPING OUT OF IT
TO TRIUMPH.
ISN'T IT A GREAT IDEA?
IT'S A GREAT IDEA,
ROGER.
I CAN'T IMAGINE
ANYTHING BETTER.
WHY NOT JUMP A CAR
OVER THE GORGE?
SKI, WILL YOU KNOCK IT
OFF WITH THE JOKES?
NO, NO, NO.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SKI?
Ski: YOU'D HAVE THE BIGGEST,
BEST CAR STUNT EVER DONE.
WHAT KIND OF CAR COULD LEAP
A GORGE THAT WIDE?
A ROCKET CAR
COULD MAKE IT.
WELL, I DON'T LIKE IT.
IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT,
DO WE WRITE YOU OFF?
CLIFF...
OH, THEY COULD MAKE IT,
COULDN'T THEY?
SURE THEY COULD
MAKE IT!
CLIFF...
WHAT'S THE LONGEST JUMP
A ROCKET CAR'S EVER MADE?
Cliff: BUDDY JOE TOOK ONE
187 FEET ONCE.
HOW FAR IS THIS?
Cliff: 325 FEET.
COULD YOU BEEF UP
THE SUSPENSION,
BUILD A CAGE STRONG ENOUGH
TO PROTECT SKI AND I WHEN
WE LANDED ON THE OTHER SIDE?
I COULD BUILD A CAR
LIKE THAT,
BUT I CAN'T TELL
HOW IT WOULD LAND.
THAT'S 325 FEET,
SONNY.
I KNOW HOW FAR IT IS,
CLIFF.
HELL, IT'D BE
A NEW WORLD'S RECORD.
WOULDN'T DO MY REPUTATION
ANY HARM.
SONNY,
THINK OF THE RISK.
FORGET ABOUT THE RISK,
MAX.
JUST BRING
YOUR CHECKBOOK.
HOOPER...
Hooper: HUH?
WHAT'S YOUR FEE
FOR A GAG LIKE THAT?
$100,000.
$50,000 FOR SKI,
$50,000 FOR ME.
IT'S THE WORLD'S
BIGGEST STUNT.
IT OUGHTA HAVE
THE WORLD'S
BIGGEST PAYCHECK.
WELL, LOOK, WILL YOU BOYS
WAIT OVER THERE A MINUTE?
I WANT TO DISCUSS THIS
WITH ROGER.
OF COURSE. OF COURSE.
WE CAN DO IT, CLIFF.
ALL YOU GOTTA DO
IS BUILD A STRONG CAGE
SO WHEN WE LAND
ON THE OTHER SIDE...
ROGER...
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
OVER THE BUDGET WE ARE.
I WANT IT, MAX.
IT'S RIGHT,
AND I WANT IT.
IT'S A STUNT
THAT'S NEVER BEEN DONE.
WHAT IF THEY DON'T MAKE IT,
ROGER?
YOU GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR IT?
I DON'T CARE. I WANT IT.
IT'S THE ENDING I WANT.
IT'S THE STATEMENT
I WANNA MAKE.
CUT SOMETHING ELSE
IF YOU HAVE TO.
I WANT THAT STUNT.
ALL RIGHT, ROGER.
I'LL TALK TO SONNY,
SEE IF I CAN'T
GET HIS PRICE DOWN.
NO OFFENSE, MAX, BUT, UH,
I DON'T THINK YOU COULD.
HOOPER KNOWS YOU TOO WELL.
TONY WILL GET HIM DOWN.
WON'T YOU, TONY?
IT'LL BE
A PLEASURE.
I DROVE THIS SUCKER
THE OTHER DAY
AND IT HAULS ASS.
WHAT'D YOU DO TO IT?
PUT A 428
POLICE INTERCEPTOR IN IT,
BALANCED AND BLUEPRINTED.
IT'S PLENTY HOT.
IF IT'S THAT HOT,
I COULD USE IT FRIDAY NIGHT.
OK, LISTEN UP.
LEADHEADS!
ANY OF YOU GUYS
SEEN HOOPER?
DOWN HERE,
SHORT LEGS.
HOOPER.
CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A SECOND?
STEP INTO MY OFFICE.
LOOK, THAT GAG YOU GUYS
CAME UP WITH THIS MORNING--
100 THOU
IS WAY OUT OF LINE.
WELL, THAT'S MY PRICE.
IT'S NOT NEGOTIABLE.
HEH. EVERYTHING
IS NEGOTIABLE, HOOPER.
I KNOW YOU'RE MAKING
BIG NOISES
JUST TO JACK UP
YOUR FEE.
NOW HERE IT IS:
20 GRAND FOR THE JUMP.
'CAUSE WHEN YOU GET
RIGHT DOWN TO IT,
THAT'S ALL THIS IS--
JUST ANOTHER CAR JUMP.
REALLY?
BETTER FASTEN
YOUR SEAT BELT.
HOOPER, WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?
I'M JUST THINKING OVER
YOUR OFFER.
I THINK BETTER
WHEN I'M DRIVING.
HOOPER, DON'T GET EXCITED.
MAYBE WE CAN COMPROMISE.
I NEVER COMPROMISE.
LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
AND SO ARE YOU.
M-MAYBE WE GOT OFF
