from Bill and Ted Face the Music
Written by Chris Matheson, Ed Solomon
Bill and Ted confront their 55-year-old future selves, who have become bitter, desperate, and armed. The older versions attempt to coerce their younger counterparts into stealing a song to fix their broken lives, leading to a tense standoff and a physical scramble.
55 YR OLD TED: I don’t care what you think of me, Ted. Our life is hell and if you don’t go back and change it --
TED: Oh - it’s all about you --
55 YR OLD BILL: Ted and Ted - take it easy - this plan will work - everyone’s life will be better if you guys just would --
55 YR OLD BILL: So what do you say - are you gonna do it or not?
BILL: No way, dude. You had ten years to write the song --
TED: And we’re not gonna build a fake future on one that’s not even ours.
