"Ed Solomon (Men in Black): The first screenplay I ever sold was something I’d written with Chris Matheson, my sometimes writing partner. It was Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. And we had a meeting with the director – not Steve Herek who ended up directing the movie, but a director prior to that, who had some really lame ideas. And Chris and I said, 'I don’t think that would really work.' And this director said, 'Well, if you don’t think that’s a good idea, we’ll – we’ll find some writers who do think it’s a good idea.' That was, you know, meeting one. And we thought, 'Agh.'"
