The final Omelet


anyone else think it was too plain? at least put some onions in it, damn.

Tucci reached into a bowl and tossed something in the pan. Was that salt, pepper or something else?

I think it was deliberate on the part of the filmmakers that the meal was so simple. Of course it is also realistic as well.

Groucho Marx, Duck Soup, re nasdaq: Margaret Dumont. Great quote, and a total ad lib by Julius Marx. Dumont had to have the joke explained to her.

He did it twice - salt and pepper.

Omelet? Where I come from what that's called is scrambled eggs. No filling, just scrambled eggs. Comfort food. They're cooking for family. Geeze, don't over analyze.

Bingo! It wasn't an omelette.

That's normal in Italy and Spain. Some people also make sandwiches with plain omelette on top of the bread. Like Marc Anthony did at the end :)

And, IIRC, he only split 3 eggs .... Made it go a long way eh ? Then eating off the table where whats his name had slept all night. I've done worse I guess but I've worked in restaurants and if the owner or chef caught me with my ass on a food prep surface or table, they woulda HAD my a** !!
Not knockin' the movie - just thoughts that went through my head while watching this scene.

That's what I thought. Three eggs for three people?

Well, think of what Jesus did with the loaves and the fishes . . . Great cooking is a miracle.

Loved the scene and if those were fresh eggs from hens allowed to live naturally then the omelette would taste amazing.

Ever tried, ever failed?
No matter.
Try again, fail again.
Fail better.

It was scrambled eggs, which is fine: simple and tasty, like this little gem of a movie.
