Towards the middle of the film when Harrison Ford is with the Amish he takes a sip of coffee and says, "now that's great coffee, honey," and they look at him weird. After a brief moment he gestures never mind.
But what was he imitating or meaning? It sounded like he was referring to some coffee commercial.
That's exactly what he says it was in the movie during that scene.
shareHe was trying to make a connection, using something so everyday in his world as a TV commercial. But the response showed it was totally alien to their world. It highlighted the gulf between the two societies.
An excellent scene.
He was referring to a coffee commercial. He alone was laughing because the Amish, without television, didn’t get the reference.
The point was to highlight that he wasn’t one of them.
