Just the girl I've been waiting for. Hiya, Bon Bon. Oh, Ray.

Put me down.

You big... Put me down.

Put me down. Put me down. All right.

Oh,

it's a friend of mine.

I've never seen you in this uniform before.

Ray Connors, John Baker, Frank Paciorello. Hi. Look, Mr. Connors,

that's the way you drove in here. I was just showing off for Bon Bon.

Wasn't very smart.

Well, I'm sorry. It's no big deal.

Come on.

i'll show you where to park the car look on the road i drive by the book okay

nice meeting you

Ray, I need more time.

This pressure's making it worse.

All right, I'll take you to dinner.

No pressure, just you and me.

All right?

Because you mean a lot to me.

That's pressure.

Yeah.

All right.

You take me to dinner.

Who's Bonnie with? Is that her new heartthrob?

Heartthrob? Well, you know what I mean. She's got some on her mind.

Some dude was here to see her.

She met up with him out back.

Yeah, his name's Ray Connor.

Ray Connor?

The stunt driver with the Joey Chitwood Thrill Show?

Is that who she's dating?

I don't know. I didn't meet him.

The Chitwood Show is in town.

Or it's coming.

Oh, come on, guys.

We got no right to.

Probably into Bonnie's private life.

And it doesn't matter who she goes out with. It's none of our business.

So forget it, right?

I'll find out.

Thank you.

John, you know as well as I do, in a high-speed chase on a motorcycle, we're

at the mercy of the inherent instability of a single-track vehicle.

What?

In danger, man.

Only two wheels on the ground.

If you get up to 70, 80 miles an hour, do you know what the department says to

do?

Call a car and slow down.

You know?

I never thought I'd hear the day that you said slow down, but you're right. We

take too many chances.

And I've been the worst, I know. But not anymore. Not me.

Nope. Not me.

I'm going to be Mr. Careful.

No, let's just say Mr. Cool.

Next street is ours.

Right at the next corner, love. Stuff it.

Turn right.

Ladies and gents, me and me two mates don't want you to be too late to

wherever you might be going, so just deposit your wallets and money clips

into that nice big sack.

Lively now.

And we'll soon be on our way.

Let's go take a look at the freeway, huh? Right.

A little excitement. Maybe some high-speed pursuits.

You've been a wonderful group.

Have a nice day.

Now maybe we can get some help.

It's been a robbery.

Three men robbed a bus. Took off in a tan sedan in that direction.

All right, we're in here.

You guys are all right. Stamped with the right label, I'd say.

Oh, man, I still don't believe that we did that. I am so scared that I'm still

shaking. Davey Millage, you're the best bass player I ever heard. Who cares if

you're a nervous thief?

Hey, man, if we get enough loot, we'll be pressing a demo record within a week.

Yeah, super, as if we're not pressing license plates first.

We didn't find him, huh?

No, not yet. Did you get the license number of that car?

Yeah, it was 350BAR or 850BAR.

Anything? It could have gone a dozen different ways.

Hey, you guys need any help?

Well, what? Okay, tell me.

Hey, man, I... I don't think we got more than a hundred dollars here.

It just ain't worth the risk we took.

It's a hundred more than we had.

Hey, how's a flirting artist supposed to get home when he's just off the boat in

a foreign land? Yeah, yeah, we're just off the boat.

Back on your stuff with Planet Mars.

Why, look, Dave, if we're gonna cut a decent demo, we've got to pay for backup

musicians, studio time, equipment, supplies.

We need a lot of grease.

We need some very heavy grease.

Yeah, I know, Malcolm, but stealing, man, that just ain't my scam.

Well, look, think of it as borrowing, maybe.

From a public that will soon be worshipping at our shrine.

Yeah, man.

Well, you think I look so bad Yeah, yeah Well, you ought to read my mind Yeah,

yeah Because those that know it's coming down

I'm never so unkind I'm never so unkind

Hey, Bonnie.

I guess once I've knocked, it's too late to say.

I hope I'm not intruding.

Come on in.

Come on in.

Betty's off to her art class, and Timmy's asleep, and I'm just putting in

some hobby time.

Hey, can I get you anything?

Coffee would do fine. Okay.

And don't worry, I'll only stay long enough for you to tell me what to do

with the rest of my life.

Well, if it was that easy, you could have just phoned me.

I've heard about a handsome stranger, so my voices tell me you've just come from

a heavy date.

He was a high school senior.

I was nine years old.

And I fell madly in love.

Oh, we're talking about... Ray Connor.

Actually, we're talking about this hot little go-kart he had.

He taught me how to drive it.

He taught me everything I know about professional driving.

That's right. You were into dirt track racing, right?

Hey, I was the dirt track queen of Marion County, Iowa.

Oh, well, your majesty.

Anyway,

I quit to go to college, and Ray went on to the big time.

He's with the Joy Chitwood Show.

Joy Chitwood? He's terrific.

Anyway... They're thinking of adding a girl to the show.

Ray's been talking up my case.

And I'm a darn good driver.

Made me an offer last week.

What do your voices say to them apples?

First voice, loud and clear.

Tell them no thanks. You're a happy cop.

They're offering me almost $30,000.

Twice as much money for half the work.

And I love it.

Second voice says, um... Resign, except the offer's too good to pass up.

That's Ray Connor's good advice.

Well, listen, my voices have all the answers. You just pick the one you like

best.

The best advice is no advice?

Is that it?

But, uh, so you won't think that I'm trying to, uh, cop out.

You see these things?

I cut and polish them as a hobby.

They're beautiful.

Yeah, that crystalline quartz.

I'm a sort of a geologist, Bonnie.

Believe it or not, I am a closet expert on gemstone.

About four years ago, a dealer made me a fabulous offer.

Obviously, I didn't accept, for one reason only.

I used my vacation time to acquaint myself with a job.

You know what I found out?

For me, it was nothing quite as right as what I was doing.

What if it turned out the other way for me?

Well, um... We would give you a farewell party that would make the

Mardi Gras look like a Halo salesman's convention.

Slow down, Skank.

That's it, lads.

The new target. What are you talking about?

Yesterday, only $100 and change. Not worth the risk, I think you said.

It wasn't. We need $2,000.

You picked the wrong bus.

A commuter bus.

Commuters carry lunch money.

Think of tourists, David, boy.

Yeah, shopping money.

Cameras, souvenirs we can pawn before anyone's the wiser.

Oh, man.

Skeet, we'll need a car.

Dave, you line up the pawnshops.

And tomorrow we'll find ourselves a Hollywood tour for the taking.

And a boy now.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'll look quickly to your right, you'll get a

peek at what used to be the Jay Cafe, the star's favorite cocktail spa.

It's that little shoe store.

Now there's plenty of time.

for you all to reload your cameras while we make our way to the Chinese theater,

footprints of the Hollywood's immortals.

Ladies and gentlemen, are we all having a wonderful trip?

Very nice.

Now comes the time of reckoning.

My mate will pass among you with a nice big sack for you to put your valuables

into.

Watches, wallets, cameras, jewelry, cash.

No sniveling, no holdouts.

You be nice, and we'll be nice.

It's in a very worthy cause.

You really want to get somebody hurt?

Don't shoot. He's just nervous, that's all.

Hey, that bus just ran over my motorcycle.

Yeah, I'll send a unit. Yes.

Fifteen-seven, David. Any unit vicinity of Sepulveda, north of Culver?

Seven, David. Mary three and four, westbound. Wilshire from west.

Job. Got a hit and run.

Holiday tour bus.

Might be a hijacked situation.

Can you come, Sal?

Good morning.

It's been

a great pleasure, folks.

I want you to have a fine tale to tell all your friends back home.

Welcome to Hollywood.

10-97, Jets. Serrano East of Sepulveda.

183 at Orchid and Russell.

Stay right there.

Yahoo! I think we ought to give up the music business and go into bank robbing.

Well, banks keep trains.

That's more our style, robbing ruddy trains.

Bus robbing is mostly for nerds, but this trio has a professional approach.

They feel pretty confident, so they'll strike again.

They've already cost us too much time doing paperwork.

Not to mention the chances we took in pursuit.

Local authorities will continue to get our full cooperation, but it would not

hurt me one bit if it was us who nailed those jerks.

I thought pursuit was your favorite pastime.

What do you got against caution, eh?

Now, we're rotating three officers for traffic control at the Joy Chitwood

Thrill Show while it's in the area.

Check the duty roster.

If any of you want to make any body-for-body trades, see me today.

Oh, by the way, if any of you want to see the Chickwood show while it's in the

area, they're having a run-through for a motion picture tomorrow afternoon.

Just show your ID at the press gate.

Okay, that's it.

You guys gonna go? Yeah, sure.

Yeah, we'll check it out. I guess the racetrack's not the only place crazy

race fast.

It's not the way it is.

You're really something sometimes.

Hey, uh, Bonnie?

Frank, Frank.

I think Connors is giving Bonnie trouble she doesn't need.

Just hold it a minute.

Don't try and misunderstand.

It's already been done.

The best thing you can do for Bonnie right now is just give her a lot of

space.

I guess you know better than we do.

You're right.

I'm the sergeant.

What do you think, big guy?

Ladies and gentlemen, here's a big welcome to all the guests of the Joy

Stewart Thrill Show.

You're going to see the whole show today, but remember, it's being filmed

for a movie, and you're all going to be in the picture.

So enjoy yourselves, and when you see something you like, let's hear from you.

to a show presents their own unique style of precision driving.

Joey Chewitt Jr. and his brother Tim do some dangerous driving now on two

wheels.

Oh, man, that's insanity.

How is she even sitting?

Two wheels on the ground, bad enough on a motorcycle.

In a car, insanity.

And here comes crazy, crazy.

The Sidewinder, ladies and gentlemen.

Not something we recommend you try with a family station wagon.

Seriously, folks.

The Chewbacca Trail Drivers are trained professionals.

These stunts are not to be tried by the amateur.

Hope everyone remembers that or we're in big trouble.

Rosie, you gotta be out of your tree to even think of doing this stuff.

Subscribe, Jen!

Since you saw the show, I thought you'd probably want to quit the patrol and

sign up.

Not me. He's not in this much time.

All it is is geometry and motions. I always hated geometry.

Hey, hi, gang.

How you doing, Ray? Glad you're here.

George Chitwood.

Tim Chitwood. These are Bonnie's friends.

Hey, how you doing? This is John Baker and Frank Poncherello. This is their

boss, George.

I'm afraid Ponch thinks you're a little weird.

No, no.

I just can't dig on risking your life for a living.

Well, uh, Poncho, he's a little conservative.

Oh, yeah, and I'm a Chinese fry cook.

No, hey, we get into some tight situations, but, um, we don't have to

stay there.

I mean, we have a choice.

Speaking of choices, Bonnie, have you made yours?

Oh, I guess you better tell him.

Yeah. Come on, guys.

See you later. Nice to meet you. See you. Take care.

The Chitwoods have asked Bonnie to join their show.

Is that what that was all about?

They made her an offer, and a good one.

Is she serious about accepting it?

She's going to take some vacation time and work out for the show, and then

decide between them and us.

No.

Well,

looks like them is a little ahead of us.

Okay, Bon Bon, there's a point of no return.

Now, if you get nervous before you reach it, you crawl back in here, all right?

Oh, I will. All right, and wave your arms when you get out there. It'll help

you with your balance.

All right?

Go.

All right.

All right.

I

was

thinking of joining the show. You were sounding off all over the place.

So?

Hey, there had to be a lot of people who thought you were out of your mind when

you wanted to join the Highway Patrol, right?

Bonnie,

if this show is what you want. So?

Say it is.

How do you vote?

Come on, Ponch, give me a nudge one way or the other.

Bonnie, how do you vote on somebody's life?

Just remember, whichever way you decide, I'm for you.

John, every act's well rehearsed.

You know, conditions are controlled.

Bonnie's in more danger with you guys any given day of the week than she'd

ever be with us. Look, Ray, what I'm worried about... Is you hitting on her

with all that romantic jive?

Well, the way I see it, pal, that's not really any of your business. As a

friend, I think it is, or I wouldn't bring it up.

She's got good friends.

And Bonnie was her own woman, even when she was a kid.

This'll be her choice.

Hers.

All right, I guess that about does it, friend.

were held in 1932 and this famous stadium will be the site of the 1984

olympics i've got a name for the group

not the stubs again i know blind albatross no no i thought we call

ourselves the uh bus boys

Next stop, the world-famous farmer's market. So get ready for a real nice

lunch.

I might be a touch late for lunch, love.

Drive straight ahead.

Oh, no.

No!

No!

Out of the driver's seat, mate.

I'm in charge of this bus now.

Dave!

Everybody sit still. Nobody move.

John, do you think Bonnie is really going to quit?

I don't know.

It's kind of like your sister wanting to leave home.

No family stays together forever.

In fact, we thought about quitting once or twice ourselves, you know?

I might someday, but not to risk my neck for a living.

I want something quieter, safer, more secure.

I know I'm changing, John, but sooner or later everybody settles down.

Fill the site.

The sooner you fill it, the sooner it's over.

Hey, check that out. Look.

Hey, lady, shut that window.

Please, please, please.

We only make it, of course.

Breaker, Breaker, any smoke? You see HB 1010 in a wrapper? Baker, 8712,

Pontrello B600. Come on.

Baker, 7 David, good buddy. What's your plane, Brown Go?

No, this is Pontus Barber.

Now, we're following a Sterling Tour bus.

Gateway north from Barrington. It may be rolling to 211.

Yeah. 1023.

John 7, David.

Bridges 1039 coming up behind you. 10-4, Jet.

Pull over immediately.

Pull that bus over right now.

Pull the bus over immediately.

Stop the bus.

Malcolm, stop.

You're going to hurt somebody.

7 David, this is Baker. If you can hear me, we're headed north on 405 from

Nashville.

10-4, John. I'll bring help.

He made it. Does he quit him?

Let me show him the badge.

Highway Patrol, fall in over!

Hey,

that cost me some chrome. I can feel that.

Hey, don't bother me.

I want to talk to you.

What about?

About what you're trying to do.

I'm going to try to save my pay job.

Is there anything on the right?

I can't see without shifting my weight. Don't shift your weight. Don't, don't,

don't, don't shift your weight.

The mercy of inherent instability of being on just two wheels.

Hey, Potch, is that you?

Yeah, Jed, this is Potch.

Any special reason for that?

Is there anything on her right?

No, it's clear.

I'll run a break for you.

Okay, Ponce, we can come down now.

Well, let me do it. Let me do it.

Hey,

that was really great, Ponce. I mean, beautiful.

Yeah.

No touch, okay?

Listen, it wasn't anything.

I'm just trying to... All

right,

hit your beats.

You know, I keep wishing that Bonnie had been here to see you, Frank.

I wish Bonnie been here to do it.

Hey, the Chitwoods never did a better job of skiing on two wheels than Ponch

did.

Synchronicity. Synch-a-what?

Unrelated, similar events.

Like, remember when all those shark movies came out? Then all of a sudden

there were all these shark attacks?

Synchronicity.

Yeah, right, Grissom.

An arcane parallel between Ponch and the Chitwood thrill show.

Don't you see it?

They don't see it.

Grocer, yesterday was one in a million coincidence.

It had nothing to do with the Chipwoods.

You know, I wouldn't do what they do for a million dollars in diamonds.

I don't think you understand synchronicity.

LA-15, Mary 5.

I got an Angel City tour bus southbound on Chapman from Anderson.

There's no tourist attraction in this area.

10-23.

Mary 5-S-4, observe the bus, but make no contact.

Units in the vicinity of Chapman and Anderson Lane, assist Mary 5, but do not

create a hostage situation.

If it is a rolling 2-11, wait until the suspects leave the bus.

Units responding, stay on Channel 2 with Mary 5.

Thanks a lot, folks.

You're the best group we've had.

It's glamorous enough for you.

I told you we should have gone to the Catskills.

If you say that once more, I'm flying home.

It's a turbot bandit. A light gray 1970 Plymouth 4-door. Northbound Watson

Avenue from the Brighton Overpass.

10-4, Mary 5.

Mary 3 and 4 coming east of Parker's.

15-7, Adam Southbound, Watson for 57.

Seven, David. Westbound 43rd prediction.

Mary 5, gravel pit.

They're trying to lose me in the gravel pit.

Rosie, this is Turner.

Rick is in the gravel pits from the south. I'm at the east.

It's from the west.

10-4. I still got him.

Jet, is that you?

Right behind you, babe.

Mary 5.

Still about 50 yards behind them. They're down at the bottom of the pit.

Somebody come west.

Watch it, Jet.

What is this?

Precision driving, man.

Okay, who's the primary unit?

Whoever catches them is the primary unit. Let's stay out of each other's

way.

I've lost them.

They're headed west.

Don't let them turn back.

Turner, where are you?

Above on your left.

Roadblock.

All right, that's more at all units.

We've got four exits here. Let's minimize pursuit and block the exits.

I don't want motorcycles climbing sand piles after those jokers. They're trying

to ride over piles of loose gravel.

There are too many hazards in this area.

Somebody could get hurt.

Let's have one unit channel that guard towards the east entrance. Is that

clear? It's clear to us, Lark, not them.

Watch out!

You amaze me, Bear. You've got style.

Keep them coming. They're surrounded.

Hey, what's happening here?

Synchronicity.

For those of

you who don't have rides today, see me for special arrangements.

And Officer Clark has made a career decision.

I know you'll all be as happy as I am that she's decided to...

Come home.

Thanks for steering me right and giving me the time.

You bet.

And listen, guys.

I always felt your support and no pressure.

And that was terrific.

The thrill show was fun, but the bottom line is, this is where I belong.

It may get dull sometimes.

It may lack the excitement and the action, but...

It's meaningful.

And like Ponch said, some of the stunts they do are insane.

Yeah, right, Ponch?

I didn't say a word.
