"Not another doughnut... I think I've gained ten pounds in this brainstorming session..."
"Well, it looks like the ten pounds all went to the right place--"
Thouaque!
"Okay, I think this breakdown is actually starting to make sense..."
"Of course! Once we took out the cute robots!"
"Aw, I liked the cute robots."
"Blegh! No cute robots! I refuse to be associated with cute robots!"
"This from the guy with a No Batteries Included DVD."
"And a WALL-E DVD."
"And a Short Circuit DVD..."
"Okay, okay! Hey, you wanted to introduce a plane crash, a Man In Black, and some goofy pool of light--"
"Guys, guys, the breakdown is set. Mostly. Now, we need to think about other elements. Like the music score."
"Oh! Oh! We have to have one like Galactica... all weird Indian instruments and war drums! A-bum-a-bum-a-bum-bum-bum-a-bum-a-bum-bum-bum..."
"But this isn't a war story... it's about people! Why not good old-fashioned orchestras, with violins and oboes and cymbals..."
"No, we should go avant-garde! Let's use an all-electronic score."
"That's not avant-garde... that's 1950s!"
"How 'bout a jazz combo?"
"People hate jazz in movies. Unless it's about depression-era con men."
"A-bum-a-bum-a-bum-bum-bum-a-bum-a-bum-bum-bum..."
"Stop that! Look, I know a kid who has a garage band. I'll ask him to whip something up... just for placeholders, you understand. We'll worry about fleshing it out later."
"What's that gonna cost us?"
"A few iTunes gift cards. What the heck?"
"A-bum-a-bum-a-bum-bum-bum--"
Will somebody please give him a doughnut?"
