I promised this to some people a while ago (sorry for the delay, had to get them down from storage again). These are very first pages from the original, hand-written draft of Bill & Ted, written in a coffee shop by Chris Matheson & me in what now seems like another life. 1/ 
Writing it was never anything other than a pure joy. It was hard, when in the mindset of these guys, not to feel the kind of ebullience and generosity of spirit that they embody. And we knew absolutely nothing about so-called "rules" of writing. 2/ 
We were guided by one thing: what made us laugh? I remember at one point looking across the table from each other and saying "Maybe someday somebody might even READ this script!" We had NO idea that they'd be so beautifully embodied by the great @alxwinter and Keanu Reeves. 3/ 
And of course, George Carlin, who we all so dearly miss. To me, the fans of this movie are like family. We never thought it would even get MADE, let alone find a home with people. 4/ 
Chris and I have often said to each other: if all we did in our career was put the phrase "Be Excellent To Each Other" out into the world, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Sometimes when work is tough, or things don't land the way I'd hoped, I think about that and feel ok. 5/5
