NEW YORK _ Imagine, if you can, the movie ``Bad Boys'' as originally conceived.

Imagine two Miami buddies. One is a rich kid, a womanizer, a flamboyant dresser who drives a sleek black Porsche. The other, a solid if jumpy and angst-ridden family man.

Both are cops. But these cops crack jokes more often than they crack heads.

Imagine Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz as the cops.

Hard to imagine, huh, Martin Lawrence?

``Yeah, that would be a different movie,'' Lawrence says, laughing. ``I can't see myself doing Jon Lovitz's lines.''

Got that right.
