RoboCop (1987)

This is Media-Break.
You give us three minutes and we'll give you the world.

Good morning, I'm Casey Wong with Jess Perkins.
Top story, Pretoria.
The threat of nuclear confrontation in South Africa escalated today...
...when the military government of that besieged city-state...
...unveiled a French-made neutron bomb...
...and affirmed that it would use it as the city's last line of defense.
The president's first press conference from the Star Wars Peace Platform...
...got off to a shaky start when power failed...
...causing a period of weightlessness for the president and his staff.
We'll be back in a moment.

Is it time for that operation?
This may be the most important decision of your life.
So come down and talk to one of our qualified surgeons...
...at the Family Heart Center.
We feature the complete line of hearts by Jensen and Yamaha.
You pick the heart.
Extended warranties. Financing.
Qualifies for health tax credit.
And remember, we care.

Three dead police officers, one critically injured.
Police leaders blame Omni Consumer Products, OCP...
...the firm which recently agreed with the city to fund and run...
...the Detroit Metro Police Department.
Dick Jones, president of OCP.
Every policeman knows there are inherent risks in his job.
If you can't stand the heat, you better stay out of the kitchen.
Although wounded, Officer Frederickson escaped and identified this man.
Clarence Boddicker, unofficial crime boss of Old Detroit...
...sought in connection with the deaths of 31 officers.
Today he is free while doctors at Henry Ford Hospital...
...fight to save Officer Frank Frederickson.
Good luck, Frank.

Attempted murder?
It's not like he killed someone.
This violates my client's civil rights.
Make it assault and I can make bail in cash, now.
Listen, your client's a scumbag, you're a scumbag...
...and scumbags see the judge.
Now get out of my police station and take Laughing Boy with you.
Hi.
Murphy, transferring in from Metro South.
Nice precinct.
Yeah, pretty good.
You work for a living down here.
Get your armor and suit up.
No, you can't get a cup of coffee.
Oh, sarge.

Stark, any word on Frederickson?
Still listed as critical.
His wife must be going crazy.
Murphy?
Yeah, that's me.
Manson.
Hi.
What brings you to paradise?
I think the OCP's moving a lot of new guys here.
Omni Consumer Products.
What a bunch of morons.
They're gonna manage this department right into the ground.
Where you from?
Metro South.
Welcome to hell.
Murphy?
Yo.
Cut 10 guys loose on the east side.
Try to get up when you're in a jam.
Try to get a Medevac after you been jammed.
I'll tell you what we should do.
We should strike.
The funeral is tomorrow.
Department requests all officers not on duty to attend.
Any donations for the family may be given to Cecil as usual.
I don't want to hear any more talk about strike.
We're not plumbers, we're police officers.
And police officers don't strike.
Murphy. Front and center.

Ooh, tiger!
Lewis, come here when you're finished fucking around with your suspect.
This guy's gonna be your new partner.
Murphy, meet Lewis.
Show him the neighborhood.
Glad to know you, Murphy.
Pretty neat.

I better drive until you know your way around.
I usually drive when I'm breaking in a new partner.

You really think the old man will be there?
Why invite us?
All the division heads are bringing their support teams. It's big.
