[0:00] Tim had a great sense of humor, and I
[0:02] remember Jack, every time he walked onto
[0:04] the set, Tim had queued the sound
[0:07] department to play the President's
[0:08] March. So, that set the atmosphere.
[0:11] >> Did you see that?
[0:13] The cast was so full of top-grade movie
[0:16] stars that I remember there was an
[0:19] editor next door to me, and he could
[0:21] hear voices, and after a month or so of
[0:24] editing the movie, he said, "Are there
[0:25] any movie stars that aren't in your
[0:27] movie?"
[0:29] >> When I watched the film again, I looked
[0:31] at it and went, "Oh, that's right. I
[0:32] forgot. Michael J. Fox was in this
[0:35] movie. Jim Brown was in this. Nettie
[0:37] Benay.
[0:38] Danny. They were all there.
[0:40] >> Yeah, Tom Jones, right?
[0:42] Got to get an autograph. ANYBODY GOT A
[0:44] PEN?
[0:45] >> Having Tom Jones in the film,
[0:47] uh I really enjoyed that. I was
[0:49] chuckling when Tom does his little, you
[0:52] know, move that he does. Seeing that
[0:54] again reminded me of those days.
[0:57] >> One of my favorite parts is Martin
[1:00] Short. He really nailed that lecherous
[1:02] subtext to his character [music] as the
[1:04] press secretary.
[1:08] >> Hi there.
[1:09] >> I introduced Lisa Marie to Tim. I was
[1:11] good friends with her, so I wanted to
[1:14] write a part for her in the film. That
[1:16] was the Martian girl.
[1:18] And Poppy was her her dog, and she loved
[1:20] Poppy, and she'd take Poppy everywhere
[1:22] she went.
[1:22] >> Right, Poppy?
[1:24] >> [screaming]
[1:25] >> So, I wrote Poppy in. I made it that
[1:27] Sarah Jessica had this dog, and in many
[1:30] ways I based the Sarah Jessica character
[1:32] on Lisa Marie.
[1:34] Tim was really going to town with all
[1:36] the experiments. Those were all his
[1:37] ideas. And I remember him saying to me
[1:40] that he wanted to have Sarah Jessica's
[1:43] head put on Poppy's body, and Poppy's
[1:45] head put on Sarah Jessica's body.
[1:50] >> [screaming]
[1:50] >> I didn't think it could be done, and I
[1:52] remember saying, "That's not going to
[1:54] work." And Tim said, "Yes, it will." So,
[1:56] I wrote it in and then he did it.
[1:58] [laughter]
[1:59] >> What was fun was I was on set when they
[2:02] shot that with her and it just was such
[2:05] a fun moment and she was such a good
[2:07] sport. So, for me, that's one of my
[2:09] favorites in the movie. I just love
[2:11] that.
