Favorite Scenes - Swingers


The COFFEE SHOP WAITRESS approaches the table.

WAITRESS: Are you ready to order?

MIKE: Coffee...(points to Trent, who nods).Two coffees. It says "Breakfast
Any Time", right?

WAITRESS: That's right.

MIKE: I'll have "pancakes in the Age of
Enlightenment".

(It goes over like a lead balloon)

WAITRESS: And you?

TRENT: I'll have the Blackbeard over easy.

WAITRESS: I'll be back with the coffee.

She takes the menus and goes.

TRENT:(genuinely)Nice, baby.

MIKE: I should've said Renaissance, right? It went over her head.

TRENT: Baby, you did fine.

MIKE: (disgusted with himself)"Age of Enlightenment". Sh!t. Like some
waitress in a Las Vegas coffee shop is going to get an obscure
French philosophical reference. How demeaning. I may as well have
just said "Let me jump your ignorant bones."...

TRENT: ...Baby...

MIKE: ... It's just, I thought "Renaissance" was too Excaliber, it's the
wrong casino. She would've gotten it, though...

TRENT: You did fine. Don't sweat her. We're meeting our honeys soon.
You know Christy's friend is going to be money.

MIKE: I hope so.(checks watch). We gotta go soon.

TRENT: Baby, relax. It's just down the hall.
She's gotta change... we'll be fine.

MIKE: We didn't do so bad after all.

TRENT: Baby, we're money.

Mike tries to catch the attention of their waitress.

MIKE: Excuse me. We're in a bit of a hurry.

WAITRESS: Hang on, Voltaire.

Still a great movie and a well-written script by Favreau. My favorite scene is near the end when Trent is ripped and stands on the table. Vince gives an amazing performance in that scene, even if he was only playing himself.
