Time in Syria

Film scene. Two people sitting in a parked car. One turns to the other and says: "Now what?"

What's the reply? Come on, you know this. It's become one of the laziest dialogue cliches in cinema history. After a pause it's:

"Now we wait."

Saw this the other day in the original Thomas Crown Affair, and wondered if it was hackneyed even then.
