The commode story

The opening diner scene is the first candidate: the Madonna 'Like a Virgin' theory leads into the tipping argument, and the clip of Mr. Pink refusing to tip because society says he has to is played.

A lot of guys came out of the movie with a new vision of the service industry; one host, who had worked as a busboy and waiter for two summers, was offended by Buscemi's character and says anyone who has worked food service knows you tip.

"I'm hungry let's get a taco"

The category was left empty because the whole movie is the best quote; nominated small lines include 'asshole you better stop talking because we got shit we need to talk about', compared to Pacino in Heat, 'you're gonna be okay', 'Say the goddamn fucking words', 'Oh are you a doctor', the personal favorite 'I'm hungry let's get a taco' after the finger speech, and 'I got a big fucking problem'.
