This movie's most famous scene takes place in a roadside diner, where Bobby tries to get a waitress to bring him toast with his breakfast, which is not on the menu. Despite appeals to logic and common sense, the waitress adamantly sticks to the rules of the restaurant, so Bobby comes up with a plan of his own:Bobby: I'll have an omelet, no potatoes. Give me tomatoes instead, and wheat toast instead of rolls.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 that's not what I want.Waitress: 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.The waitress then indignantly orders them to leave.Jack Nicholson, Five Easy Pieces
