"Honeymoon Express"

Cut Scenes:

In a draft script (unknown version number), a number of small changes are notable:

The black Senator at the start refers to Nonna winning the bingo in Double Identity.

The Porter tries to sell Sam a 1945 bottle of Dom Perignon for $32 (over $300 in today's money).

Tom and Diane's surname is Watson (perhaps changed to avoid confusion with US golfer Tom Watson?)

Sam's future predictions aren't based on champagne bubbles, just intuition.

There is a whole conversation between Sam and the Porter cut which mostly relates to that Dom Perignon

The moving moment where Sam says goodbye to Al is planned as a visual effect.

Sam's testing of Diane before Roget attacks is a little longer.

Roget's line in French is translated as "I see him, but not Diane".

Roget doesn't speak a last line as he does in the aired version ("next time it will be easier")

The Chairman's reference to Senator Brown (which itself was dubbed over Max Brown) was Max Young.

Also, the "Oh, boy" after the leap in is described in the directions as "now familiar", even though by this point in the show it's not strictly formulaic.


Syndication edits:

The opening leap into a Fireman with Sam attempting to get a cat out of a tree is completely removed in most earlier syndicated versions of the episode.

Ginger the Cat - "Honeymoon Express"

Old Lady: "Please be careful".

Sam: "Oh don't worry I've been climbing trees since I was 3" (clinging on to tree)

Old Lady: "If Ginger fell, I'd just die"

(Al appears hovering in branches.)

Al: "What are you doing Sam?"

Sam: "Saving Ginger".

Al: "That name is probably why he's up here in the first place."

Sam: "He?"

Al: "Sam, how would you like to stop a revolution. Does the name Fidel Castro mean anything to you."

Sam: "Why, should it?"

Al: "Well I don't see how since its '57 and he won't invade Cuba for another 2 years."

Sam: "Don't tell me Ziggy's changed his mind about what I'm here to do" (Al consults handlink in normal fashion.)

Al: "Parallel hybrid computers don't change their minds, their ego won't let them. He's still predicting you are here to make an historic rescue."

(Sam turns his attention back to the cat.)

Sam: "Here Kitty".

(Sam falls, cat lands on Sam and then jumps into old lady's arms).

Old lady: (To cat) "Oh, Ginger my poor baby are you alright." (To Sam). "My hero."
