Clip 1

Inspector Todd is not a happy man. In fact, he's raging. And Axel might not win this particular battle. Not this time.

Axel Foley

Hey, boss... I know what you're gonna say but -

Inspector Todd

You mind tellin' me where the fu*k you come off goin' undercover without authorisation from me? What the fu*k is this all about? You wanna play some fu*kin' bullsh*t cowboy cop, go do it in somebody else's precinct.

Axel Foley

Don't you want to hear my side of the story?

Inspector Todd

What's your fu*kin' side of the story?

Axel Foley

Let's hear your side of the story.

Clip 2

Every art gallery needs a Serge. Serge is welcoming and hospitable. Yes, he's as camp as a row of tents but there's nothing wrong with that. Not when he makes Espresso with a twist of lemon.

Serge

How you are doing today?

Axel Foley

Hi.

Serge

I'm fine, my name is Serge, and how can I help you?

Axel Foley

Um, yeah, I'm looking for Miss Jenny Summers.

Serge

She's very busy today. Maybe you give me your name.

Axel Foley

My name's Axel Foley.

Serge

And, uh, what it's pertaining?

Axel Foley

I didn't understand what you said.

Serge

Pertaining... What it's meaning... regarding?

Axel Foley

Oh, what's it regarding? I'm an old acquaintance of hers.

Serge

Donny. One moment. Donny, run and tell Ms. Summers that, uh, Mr. Achmed Foley's here to see her.

Axel Foley

No, Axel Foley. Axel.

Serge

Achmel, Achwel?

Axel Foley

Axel.

Serge

Foley's here to see her. He's a old acquaintance. Donny, this is... cover this up.

Donny

I'm sorry.

Serge

Like a breast of a dog to scrub for the customer. It's not sexy. It's animal.

Axel Foley

No, it's not sexy at all.

Serge

May I offer you something to drink? Wine, a cocktail, um, um... Espresso?

Axel Foley

No, I'm fine, thank you.

Serge

I make it myself right back there with the little lemon twist. It's good. You should try it.

Axel Foley

No, I'm... I'm fine.

Serge

I see you look at this piece.

Axel Foley

Yeah, I was wondering how much something like this went for.

Serge

One hundred and thirty thousand dollar.

Axel Foley

Get the fu*k outta here!

Serge

No! No, I cannot. It's serious, because it's very important piece.

Axel Foley

Have you ever sold one of these?

Serge

Sell it yesterday to a collector.

Axel Foley

Get the fu*k outta here!

Serge

No, I'm serious! I sell it myself.

Clip 3

Victor Maitland has had Axel Foley ejected from his office. Through a window. And it's Axel who's being arrested. Can you believe that sh*t?

Cop

Sir, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning -

Axel Foley

Yeah, I understand. I understand the rights. I know this is bullsh*t though, man. I got thrown out of a fu*kin' window!

Cop

Please get in the car, sir.

Axel Foley

Yeah, tell me somethin', what's the charge?

Cop

Possession of a concealed weapon, disturbing the peace.

Axel Foley

Disturbing the peace? I got thrown out of a window! What's the fu*kin' charge for gettin' pushed out of a movin' car, huh? Jaywalking? This is bullsh*t!

Clip 4

LAPD have found out that Axel Foley is a cop. Lieutenant Bogomil is not a happy man. This means paperwork and a lot of explaining to the Chief and the Mayor.

Lieutenant Bogomil

Why didn't you identify yourself as a police officer when you were arrested?

Axel Foley

'Cause I was mindin' my own business. Where the fu*k do you guys get off on arrestin' somebody for gettin' thrown out of a window?

Lieutenant Bogomil

We have six witnesses that say you broke in and started tearin' up the place, then jumped out the window!

Axel Foley

And you guys believed that? What the fu*k are you, cops or doormen?

Lieutenant Bogomil

We're more likely to believe an important local businessman, than a foul-mouthed jerk from outta town!

Axel Foley

Foul-mouthed? Fu*k you, man!

Clip 5

Axel is about to catch a ride with Jenny Summers. He's surprised to find that she's driving a flame red Mercedes convertible now.

Axel Foley

Is this your car?

Jenny Summers

Oh, no, in Beverly Hills we just take whichever car's closest. I remember you used to drive that crappy, blue Chevy Nova. What are you driving now?

Axel Foley

The same crappy, blue Chevy Nova.

[They both laugh]

Clip 6

The chase is on. It's Axel and Jenny in hot pursuit of the bad guys from the bonded warehouse. Well, it will be when they decide who's driving.

Jenny Summers

Axel, what the hell's going on?

Axel Foley

I'll tell you later, come on. Hurry up.

Jenny Summers

[Mimicking him]

"Hurry up."

Axel Foley

Gimme the key, I'm gonna follow 'em.

Jenny Summers

You ever driven a Mercedes before?

Axel Foley

No, but a car is a car. I drive my car everyday.

Jenny Summers

I'm driving, I've seen your car.

Axel Foley

Oh, sh*t, that's cold.

Clip 7

Axel Foley has taken two LAPD cops to a strip club. Billy is naÏve but is, nonetheless, having a good time despite his outward look of a startled deer in the headlights.

Axel Foley

Billy! Billy. You know, you don't have to be embarrassed if your d*ck gets hard. Your d*ck is supposed to get hard, see? That's the whole object of this. Taggart's d*ck gets hard, but he won't let you know, 'cause he's the boss. Boss's d*ck got to stay limp, right? I mean, I ain't on duty, so my d*ck can be hard.

Clip 8

How to get into a members-only club to speak to someone when you're not a member. Easy. Just speak effeminately and reveal an embarrassing secret about their member. So to speak.

Maitre D'

May I help you?

Axel Foley

Yes, I'm looking for Victor Maitland.

Maitre D'

You realise that this is a members-only club?

Axel Foley

But I have to talk to Victor, it's very, very important.

Maitre D'

Are you sure it's Victor Maitland you want?

Axel Foley

Oh, yes, the grey haired gentleman, very dark skin, Capricorn. Victor.

Maitre D'

Well, why don't you give me the message and I'll take it to him.

Axel Foley

OK, I guess I can do that. Tell Victor that Ramon, the fella he met about a week ago, tell him that Ramon went to the clinic today and I found out that I have... Herpes symplex ten. And I think Victor should go check himself out with his physician to make sure everything is fine, before things start fallin' off on the man.

Maitre D'

Perhaps you better tell him that.

Axel Foley

You know, I think that would be best.

Maitre D'

So do I.
