Mundane Moments in Action Cinema, Episode 1: The Temple of Liability

[INT. MINE — NIGHT]

The rumble of distant drums. Echoes of shouts. Danger looms.

SHORT ROUND and WILLIE are already crammed into a rickety MINE CART, panicked and squirming. Dust settles as INDY strolls into frame — calm, composed, clipboard and pen in hand.

INDY
I’ll need each of you to sign this release form.
(holds up clipboard)
You can read it if you’d like, but it’s basically saying you release me from any personal responsibility for any outcomes of this mine cart ride.

WILLIE
Are you kidding me right now? (pointing into the tunnel) They’re going to kill us!

INDY
Sorry. I have to look out for myself here. It’s boilerplate.

A beat.

The MINE CART creaks ominously.

INDY doesn’t budge.

INDY
The forms, please.
