Picture this - up on the screen
The two biggest heroes we’ve ever seen
And they’re doing a thing
[EXEC]
What?
[MACK]
I really don’t know
But they look real cool
They talk, they fight
And the crowds will form
On opening night
And PAY! to see this superhero show
[EXEC]
Will it be any good?
[MACK]
Probably no
But who cares?
Long as we make the dough...
Cuz it doesn’t matter
If the movie’s good
As long as it comes from a comic book
These nerds will buy a ticket guaranteed
And we’ll have sequels and spinoffs
And toys galore!
And they’ll eat it up! cuz they adore
These characters
But nothing comes for free
And this is how you’ll get rich
With me
The biggest stars, the biggest names
[EXEC]
What’s it about?
[MACK]
I can’t explain
But these fucking dorks can’t tell treasure from trash
Now I may not be the greatest writer
But sure as my name is
Mack fucking Schneider
I’ll turn this stupid book into cash
[EXEC]
Are you sure that will work?
[MACK]
Are you a fucking dumbass?
Cuz it doesn’t matter
If the movie’s good
As long as it comes from a comic book
We’ll make money money, money... money
You’ll see
They’ll cough up the cash so easily
It’s like we’ve won the lottery
This is as good as it gets
This is how you give a pitch
This is how you get rich with me
Mack is back, bitch!
