A series of vignettes that all have coffee and cigarettes in common.
Tom: The beauty of quitting is, now that I've quit, I can have one, 'cause I've quit.
GZA: Bill Groundhog-Day, Ghostbustin'-ass Murray!
Jack: Well, Nikola Tesla invented fluorescent light. Without him we wouldn't have alternating current, radio, television... x-ray technology... induction motors, particle beams, lasers; none of that would even exist if it weren't for him. Meg: [sarcastically] Hmm, or the rock band Tesla. Jack: [visibly dispirited] Funny.
Iggy: Cigarettes and coffee, man, that's a combination.
Tom: Well... we could go to Taco Bell if that's more your style. Iggy: You callin' me a Taco Bell kind of guy?
Alfred: He's a very committed environmentalist. Steve: Spike Jonze is a tree hugger? Jesus, I never would've had him down as that. Alfred: Well... I think he prefers the term "leaf people."
Joe: You really are a fuckin' moron, you know that? I'm gonna call up the big tobacco companies and thank them for burying you!
Taylor: [Taylor is pretending the coffee he and Bill are drinking is champagne] I propose a toast. Bill: So what should we toast? Taylor: Oh, god... Paris, in the 1920's. Josephine Baker, the Moulin Rouge. Q'est-ce que c'est... [mutters, trails off] Bill: And also, New York, in the 70's. The late 70's. Taylor: Really? Oh, alright. Bill: [they touch cups] Cheers. Taylor: Cheers. [they sip their coffee] Bill: Mmm. Délicieux, isn't it? Taylor: Oh, champagne; nectar of the Gods.
Shelly: It's just... funny, don't yah think, that when you can't afford something, it's like *really expensive* but then when you can afford it, it's like, free? It's kinda backwards, don't yah think? Cate: Yeah, well... the world is a bit like that, I guess, in a lot of ways.
Bill Murray: [Coughs] Doc, what could I do for this cough? RZA: Shit, I was just thinking about that. Check this out: you get some hydrogen peroxide... Bill Murray: We got that for cuts and stuff. RZA: ...take fifty percent hydrogen peroxide, fifty percent water. You gargle with it. Do *not* swallow. You spit it out. Don't swallow, Bill Murray. GZA: And if that doesn't work, try oven cleaner. Bill Murray: We got that in the back, too.
GZA: Want some tea? RZA: Yea, splash me. GZA: It's all herbals, man. No caffeine. RZA: That's what I'm talking about. No caffeine. Caffeine is ridiculous right now, man. GZA: Tell me about it. RZA: Caffeine leads to depression, makes you all irritable, have your heart beating fast. Faster heart rate, you know what I mean? And worse than anything, you drink that coffee, it gives you the shits, you know what I mean? So I try to stay away from that. GZA: I'm off that shit, anyway. RZA: Crisp and clean. No caffeine.
Steve: I've not given my number out to many eminent people in the past. I've not given my number out to Sam Mendes, so you're in good company. Alfred: Well, if it's good enough for Sam Mendes it's good enough for me.
