George: I have this idea. It's trite, and it's lame, and it's been done a hundred times before. Think "X-Files meets National Treasure."
Stephen: I love it! But to keep it fresh, let's not waste any time, effort, or money on a script.
Harrison: I'm in, but only if you hire the flavor-of-the-month to play my sidekick.
George and Stephen: Done!
Harrison: Also, I don't want any distinctive special effects this time out. Just a lot of unremarkable CGI crap. You know, like you can see in a thousand video games.
Stephen: And instead of chasing some kind of relic with a history, let's make some shit up and pretend that it makes sense.
Harrison: By the way, I think my paycheck's going to need some more zeros in front of the decimal.
George: Okay, but we'll have to skimp on the quality of the dialogue.
Stephen: No one will notice. Once they see the hat and the whip, they won't care about the rest.
And so on...
