A scene from Falling Down 1993
Sheila

[at Whammyburger]

Hi, can I help you?

Bill Foster

Yes, I'd like a ham and cheese whamlet and some whammy fries--

Sheila

I'm sorry, we've stopped serving breakfast but we are on the lunch menu now.

Bill Foster

But I want breakfast.

Sheila

You can't have it, we're not serving it.

Bill Foster

So you said. Is that the manager?

Sheila

(sighs)

Yeah.

Bill Foster

Could I speak to him please?

Sheila

Sure. Rick, there's a customer who would like to speak with you.

Rick

[a young man with a happy smile walks up to the counter]

Yes, sir?

Bill Foster

I'd like some breakfast?

Rick

We stopped serving breakfast.

Bill Foster

I know you stopped serving breakfast Rick, Sheila told me that you... why am I calling you by your first names? I don't even know you. I still call my boss 'Mister' even though I've been working with him for seven years, but all of a sudden I walk in here and I'm calling you Rick and Sheila like we're in some kind of AA meeting and... I don't want to be your buddy, Rick. I just want a little breakfast?

Sheila

You can call me Miss Folsom if you want.

Rick

Sheila. We stopped serving breakfast at 11:30.

Bill Foster

[Foster looks at his watch to find it's 3 minutes past the deadline. He becomes angry]

Rick, have you ever heard the expression "the customer is always right"?

Rick

(sighs)

Yeah.

Bill Foster

Well, here I am. The customer.

Rick

(still smiling)

That's not our policy. You have to order something from the lunch menu.

Bill Foster

I don't want lunch. I want breakfast.

Rick

Yeah, well hey, I'm really sorry.

Bill Foster

(smiles back)

Yeah, I'm real sorry too. (pulls out an Uzi)
