: Dear Steven S., Harrison F. and John W.:
: While it is true that you guys have contributed to my success, let's remember that I'm the one worth $ 2.5 billion, which makes me the richest guy in Hollywood. I'm the one with a 4,000 acre ranch and 4 dozen Lamborghinis. More importantly, I own the copyright not only to Star Wars, but to Indy Jones as well.
: To prove that I don't need you guys, I am going to show my full genius by directing, starring as Indy and scoring the music to Indy 4. It will be my ultimate masterpiece.
: Don't worry about my flabby neck. I'm going to have it digitally reduced and sculpted to make me the ultimate Indy Jones. Also, expect a Jar Jar cameo for comic relief. Hey, it's my vision. I must stay true to my vision. No snickering.
: The Visionary,
: George Lucas
I'm gonna make my own rival Indy film without the rest of you freaks! It'll be the same style as yours only 10 times better! I will also, write, direct, star and do the score (with my armpit) for my Indy IV version. It'll rock way more than your vision, George! And expect a cameo appearance from E.T. in my superior version.
Forget George, THE Visionary,
Steven Spielberg
