What does the title mean?

I understand it to mean that with six people dining at a Chinese restaurant, you get an eggroll. But, why did the little boy in the movie say it like that, instead of the correct way, i.e. with six, you get eggrollS or with six, you get AN eggroll?

The way that line is said, makes it seem like there's more to it than just getting an eggroll at a restaurant. Is that really all it means?

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!

Now days he'd say, "With Six you get 18% gratuity automatically added to your check."

Ephemeron.

I am just watching it now, for the first time. But, having always known OF the film, I assumed the title was written in the way a Chinese person, born in China, might say it---not using the indefinite article "an".

Apparently, White people are not to say the "E-word".
