A scene from Waiting... 2005
Monty

Hello, sir. My name is Monty, this is my trainee, Mitch. How are you doing today?

Old man

I'm slipping gradually into senility.

Monty

Really? [Takes a seat across from the old man] Do you consider that a good thing or a bad thing?

Old man

Well, it's a mixed bag. It's...good in the sense that I can take walks in my underwear. I can give small children the middle finger, but as long as I look happy while I'm doing it, people just assume I'm senile.

Monty

Yeah? So, what's the bad?

Old man

Well, sometimes I give small children the middle finger and don't realize I'm doing it until someone slaps me...so I really am going senile.

Monty

Well, Alzheimer's can't be all bad: You get a chance to meet new people every day.

Old man

[Chuckles]

I like you, Monty.

Monty

I like you too, sir.

Old man

I like you too, Monty.

Monty

So, what can I get you to drink?

Old man

I trust you.

Monty

You know what? You can count on me, sir.

Monty

[Monty takes the drink menu and leaves with Mitch]

I don't even care if he gives me a poor tip, that is the coolest old man I've met in my entire life.
