Backstage Jealousy

…..Charlene Tilton
…..Charles Rocket
…..Joe Piscopo
…..Ann Risley
…..Gail Matthius

(After the monologue, Charlene runs off to the stage door, where Charles Rocket is waiting for her. He claps, and she gives him a big hug, giggling with excitement.)

Rocket: All right, Charlene!

Tilton: Charlie, how’d I do?

Rocket: You were great. Hey, listen, let’s go to your dressing room, I’ll make a few more notes, okay, give you a couple more ideas? All right.

Tilton: Okay!

(they both run by Joe Piscopo and Ann Risley. Piscopo sits down on the bench with Risley and tries to get affectionate with her by kissing her on the neck)

Risley: No, n-no, no, no, no, no-no more. No more.

Piscopo: Why? What’s wrong? (continues to kiss her)

Risley: What’s wrong? Joe, THIS is wrong! It’s – we just can’t keep on like this! I’m, I, I think we ought to end it.

Piscopo: Aw, come on, Annie …

Risley: No, rea- it’s, it’s over, Joe. It’s over. It’s just too selfish. I mean, we have to think about the show. Look, romance and work just don’t mix.

(she gets up and walks away, leaving Piscopo dejected)

Piscopo: Ann!

(Gail Matthius enters and sits down by Piscopo)

Matthius: Uh, Joe, anything wrong?

Piscopo: Ann doesn’t wanna see me anymore.

Matthius: Oh, why not?

Piscopo: She says romance and work don’t mix.

Matthius: Oh, that’s funny, ’cause I … I called Charlie’s apartment last night about a script, oh, it was about 2 or 3 in the morning and uh, Ann answered the phone.

Piscopo: Wait, wai-wai-wai-wait … she was at Charlie’s apartment?

Matthius: (rolls eyes) Joe, get WITH it! God! Hey, yeah, she’s been at Charlie’s apartment every night this week! I guess they … (suggestively) MUST have been working on a script or something.

(she gets up and walks away. The camera zooms in on Piscopo, revenge on his face)

Piscopo: I’ll get that Charlie Rocket if it’s the last thing I ever do.

The Rocket Report

…..Charles Rocket

[ open on Central Park from above ]

Charles Rocket: Central Park. A veritable oasis in the heart of New York City. Acres and acres of places to have fun, and places to be the victim of a crime. Hi! Charles Rocket. We’re interested in Central Park – How Scary Is It? [ points below ] We went down there to find out..

[ dissolve to earlier film, two couples walking toward a tunnel as Rocket observes ]

A couple of nice young couples walking in Central Park. Everything could be alright, but they’re headed for one of those dangerous tunnels that everyone knows so much about. They don’t seem to be afraid, but it’s the tunnels that have been the hallmark of so much criminal activity. [ couples enter the tunnel, as Rocket moves closer to see ] Hope they’re okay.. sounds like everything’s still alright.. [ peeks in, notices a strange man at the end of the tunnel ] Uh-oh! There’s somebody coming! He got out of the way, but everything’s.. [ yells into the tunnel ] Everything was alright, then?! Everything is okay?! [ from the opposite side of the tunnel, the couples wave at Rocket ] Everything, apparently, is okay! A man came right as the young couple was just about to leave the tunnel, but apparently.. it’s no problem!

[ cut to a group of schoolkids in Central Park ]

Innocent schoolchildren. Are they safe? They may not be. [ camera pans out to reveal a man sitting on a park bench ] There’s a man.. sitting on a park bench.. right near by. If we could just find out what this guy’s up to.. then maybe we could avoid a potentially threatening situation. [ moves closer to the bench ] It’s okay.. he’s just asleep. So, apparently, there’s no danger now.. but there could be soon. Something you have to think about everytime you visit Central Park.

[ cut to Rocket running scared past some trees in Central Park ]

Quick! Behind a tree, or something! Because there’s.. somebody there.. [ looks back ] He’s definitely looking this way.. At least he’s far enough away now that the danger seems to have past, at least for the moment. [ looks again ] Oh no.. oh no! He’s circling up, toward the center.. he could be doubling back this way! It might be best for us to just head back where we came, and.. [ thinking quickly ] Back this way! [ runs down the path like the maniac, and slips on some wet grass, appearing embarrassed ] That’s the kind of thing that can happen when you get scared! Never panic in the park! Because a panicked person is a sure sign to a would-be criminal that there’s a potential victim! So I’ll just have to take this opportunity to collect myself, and then.. slowly.. continue on.. as though nothing at all has happened. Just as all everything were perfectly routine.. here, in Central Park. I’m Charles Rocket! Central Park, New York City. We’ll see you again some other time, and hopefully, under better and more safe circumstances.

[ Rocket walks off, as film ends ]

Ronald Reagan: Good evening. I’m here tonight to talk to you aboutone of the most important questions that confronts the nation today: “IsFrank Sinatra a hoodlum?” Well, I think America deserves a straight answerto that straight question. Frank, are you a hoodlum?

Frank Sinatra: No, Ron, I am not.

Frank Sinatra: No, Ron, I am not.

Newsbreak II

…..Eddie Murphy

[ open on Eddie Murphy seated at news desk ]

Eddie Murphy: Hello, again. I’m Eddie Murphy, and this is “Newsbreak”.

More news on the Poland invasion. The Polish Army has made some progress, and the Russians still seem to be ignoring this threat from the north, apparently waiting for a Polish blunder. How is all this going to affect America, and how is America going to feel about this?

[ cut to unseen action reporter interviewing people on the street ]

Interviewer: We were wondering what you thought of Poland’s invasion of Russia.

Man #1: Who?

Interviewer: Poland’s invasion of Russia this evening.

Man #1: Tell me something I don’t know.

Man #2: When it happened, just now? [ he shrugs his shoulders ]

[ cut to Man #3 ]

Man #3: Hey! What you gonna do about it? I don’t know.

[ cut to Man #4 ]

Man #4: There’s not too many countries, now, that’ll stand up to Russia, and I think that Poland should definitely go for it! It’s gonna be hard and all, but it’ll show a sign throughout the world.

[ cut to Man #5 ]

Man #5: Polish invasion of Russia?

Interviewer: What do you think about that?

Man #5: Um… I thought they were gonna go into France.

[ return to Eddie Murphy at the news desk ]

Eddie Murphy: Some startling information has been uncovered by our “Weekend Update” team. These are the Pole Papers. [ he holds up a file folder ] A secret outline written in 1938 that lays out Poland’s plan for world dominance, which helps explain today’s dramatic events.

[ reveal close-up of paragraph highlighted ]

“September 1, 1939: We allow Germany to invade. PURPOSE: To elicit world sympathy.”

And another page:

[ reveal close-up of paragraph highlighted ]

“February 3, 1962: Allow Bobby Vinton to record, thereby securing world sympathy. Sympathy should be pouring in…” Now, it’s hard to believe.

[ reveal close-up of paragraph highlighted ]

“Secure a spy in the Vatican,” finally, and “Invade Russia.”

[ return to Eddie Murphy at the news desk ]

Eddie Murphy: Well, there you have it: The shocking proof. The Polish invasion of Russia is no playful whim, but a premeditated blueprint for world dominance. And so the spectral Polish world hangs over our heads like a spring-dripping kilbasa. This is unbelievable. THe Russian strategy of waiting and waiting — [ he looks down ] What is this? [ Eddie reads a bulletin handed to him below camera ] Oh, my God, it’s starting to pay off. The Russian strategy of waiting and waiting and wait and waiting has finally paid off. They’ve turned the wrong way, the Polish people. Inexplicably, they are heading toward the Arctic Circle. Uh — “Newsbreak” just acquired some dramatic photos of the beleagured Polish Army heading North. Could we see those photos, please?

[ cut to black-and-white photo of soldiers walking past snow-covered mountains along a path to icy Arctic waters ]

And there they are, obviously lost and very hungry.

[ cut to new black-and-photo, some of the soldiers now waist-deep in the cold Arctic waters ]

Looks like the threat is over, and it’s all over.

[ cut to new black-and-photo, only the soldiers’ helmets appear above the cold Arctic waters ]

Repeat: The Polish invasion of Russia is over.

[ return to Eddie Murphy at the news desk ]

Eddie Murphy: You know, plot or no plot, you’ve got to feel sorry for this plucky little army. They get an “A” for effort. So, once again, the world has gone to the brink of disaster, and kept its balance. This is Eddie Murphy. Sleep well, and God bless.

Frances Lively: [ runs into room screaming jubilantly, then breaks into a whimper ]

Phil Lively: Something’s wrong, isn’t it?

Frances Lively: That’s right, Phil. You know: I love your father very much. But taking care of the elderly can be a full-time job..

Voice of Dad: [ yelling from upstairs ] Frances!

Frances Lively: Yeah, Dad?

Voice of Dad: Bring me another TV Dinner! And leave the mashed potatoes frozen this time!

Frances Lively: Okay, Dad.. [ she starts to walk up the stairs, but the doorbell rings ]

Phil Lively: [ changing subject ] Well, I’m afraid that’s all the time we have for Dad’s potatoes. Instead, we’re going to have to answer the door and ask our guest to come on inside.

Frances Lively: [ answers door ] Welcome! [ to Phil ] Phil, I’d like you to meet Beverly Long, from the Pleasant Valley Home for the Aged!

Phil Lively: [ making introductions ] I’m Phil Lively, as you know. And this is my lovely, and talented, wife, Frances. Okay! You’ve never been to our house before, so why don’t you come inside, and tell us a little bit about what you do, and where you work!

Beverly Long: Well, I work at Pleasant Valley, as your wife mentioned. And we take care of old people.

Phil Lively: Well, as you know, Beverly Long, we take care of an old person, right here in our own home! But, we realize we can’t always give Dad the kind of understanding and attention he deserves.

Voice of Dad: Somebody get my fork! I dropped my fork!

Phil Lively: An-n-n-nd we’ll have that fork for you in just a minute, Dad. But first, let us finish talking to our nursing home expert! Frances?

Frances Lively: Thank you, Phil! Back to you, Beverly!

Beverly Long: [ flustered ] Uh.. well.. at Pleasant Valley, taking care of invalids is our..

Phil Lively: You know: it’s so hard to think of Dad as an invalid! Why, he got his first job in radio at the age of 12. And.. without the benefit of an education, became the most respected booth operator in the business! And.. went on to host game shows fifteen years past the age of retirement!

Beverly Long: Well, try to think of your father’s stay at Pleasant Valley as a reward for all his hard work..

Voice of Dad: Frances, I’m thirsty! Where’s my milk?! I like milk with my meals!

Beverly Long: But, you see, old people enjoy being with other old people. It’s not that expensive.. and it would take care of the burdon on you, and we can provide a nice home for your father.

Frances Lively: But he already has a home.

Phil Lively: Yes, it’s a beautiful 4-bedroom split-level Mediterranean villa, complete with hardwood floors and a brick facade. Yes, it’s beautifully appointed with contemporary art, spacious bay windows, and durable carpeting! Everything anyone could possibly need, young or old! But! If you can give us one good reason, Beverly Long, why we shouldn’t keep Dad here with us, we’ll be happy to turn him over to you!

[ Frances hums the “Jeopardy” theme as Beverly struggles for an answer ]

Beverly Long: Well.. uh.. I don’t know, I..

[ Frances sounds the Time Over buzzer ]

Phil Lively: Oh-h-h-h!! I’m terribly sorry! But! Had you been able to come up with an answer, we would have been happy to sign all the necessary papers today! [ pushing Beverly out ] But, instead, we’re going to have to say goodbye to you, Beverly Long, and ask you not to come back and ever try again, okay? Bye bye!
