BOBBY: I'd like a plain omelet. No potatoes, tomatoes instead. A cup of coffee and wheat toast.
WAITRESS: No substitutions.
BOBBY: What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes?
WAITRESS: Only what's on the menu. You can have a number two � a plain omelet. It comes with cottage fries, and rolls.
BOBBY: Yea, I know what it comes with, but it's not what I want.
WAITRESS: Well I'll come back when you make up your mind.
BOBBY: Wait a minute, I have made up my mind. I'd like a plain omelet, no potatoes on the plate. A cup of coffee and a side order of wheat toast.
WAITRESS: I'm sorry, we don't have any side orders of toast. I'll give you a English muffin or a coffee roll.
BOBBY: What do you mean "you don't make side orders of toast"? You make sandwiches, don't you?
WAITRESS: Would you like to talk to the manager?
BOBBY: You've got bread. And a toaster of some kind?
WAITRESS: I don't make the rules.
BOBBY: OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
WAITRESS: A number two, chicken sal san. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
BOBBY: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
WAITRESS: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
BOBBY: I want you to hold it between your knees! (Bobby knocks everything off the table)

Five new reviews for four new films.
Please note: there is language in my "Atonement" review which could possibly be offensive to some fwiffers. It directly references the content of a letter mistakenly delivered, as well as passing judgement on the deliverer.
Also "A Mighty Heart" is the story of Mariane Pearl wife of a journalist beheaded by terrorists in Pakistan.

Vote in my general direction!
Notes:
Joseph Cotten plays the Reverend Doctor at the beginning of "Heaven's Gate"
John Lithgow reprises William Shatner's classic role in "Twilight Zone: The Movie"
At the beginning of "Gattaca" the narrator says "I was conceived in the Riviera . . . the Detroit variety" (meaning the Buick Riviera) |

Thank you, Chocy!
I have another one that you might like - unfortunately it's been declined once, and I am waiting for benj to take a look at it again.

Even though you didn't enjoy the film, I hope you thought that the typewriter scene was very well done!   |

I guess so. It was certainly fun watching sections of the audience squirming at the enormous swear word being repeatedly thrust at them having presumably popped out to see something literary, romantic and tragic in the same vein as Titanic.
The persistent "typewriter" soundtrack schtick made me think of cheesy American B&W movies though, usually set in a newspaper office. |

Yeah - but given the gloopy ending I thought retrospectively it made some kind of sense.
