In the movie When Harry Met Sally... there's a part where Harry and Sally invite their two friends out on a double date, hoping their friends will "hit it off".
From the start, it isn't going too well. They're out at a restaurant. Time to order -
Harry: "So - what are we gonna order?"
Sally: "Well, I'm going to start with the grilled radicchio."
Harry: "Jess, Sally is a great orderer. Not only does she always pick the best thing on the menu, but she orders it in a way that even the chef didn't know how good it could be!"
Jess: "I think restaurants have become too important."
Marie: "Oohh - I agree. - Restaurants are to people in the Eighties, what theater was to people in the Sixties."
(Her tone changes, a little - she downshifts) - "I read that in a magazine."
Jess (immensely startled) - "I wrote that!"
