A scene from Father of the Bride 1991
Stock boy

Excuse me, sir, but what are you doing?

George

I'll tell you what I'm doing. I want to buy eight hot dogs and eight hot dog buns to go with them. But no one sells eight hot dog buns. They only sell twelve hot dog buns. So I end up paying for four buns I don't need. So I am removing the superfluous buns.

Stock boy

I'm sorry, sir. But you're going to have to pay for all twelve buns. They're not marked individually.

George

Yeah. And you want to know why? Because some big-shot over at the wiener company got together with some big-shot over at the bun company and decided to rip off the American public. Because they think the American public is a bunch of trusting nit-wits who will pay for everything they don't need rather than make a stink!

Manager

Get me security.

George

Well, they're not ripping off this nit-wit anymore because I'm not paying for one more thing I don't need! George Banks is saying no!

Stock boy

Who's George Banks?

George

Me!

Manager

Why don't we just calm down now, sir.

George

I'll tell you why "we" don't calm down, because you're not excited! It takes two people for a "we" to calm down, doesn't it?

Manager

Uh, that I don't know, sir. I'm just the assistant manager of a supermarket. But I'll tell you this. If you don't pipe down and pay for those buns, I'm going to call the police.

George

Oh...right! Yeah! Uh-huh. Yeah. Right!
