Best part about Slipstream

I hated this movie, but I admit that I did laugh pretty good one time.

The best part about Slipstream was the part where they are discussing the death of Matt Dobbs (Christian Slater's character). The director is so out of it and confused, and that waitress kept laughing - THAT PART WAS SO FUNNY.
I dont remember the exact lines but here it is from memory:

guy: Is he married? ('he' meaning Matt Dobbs - the recently deceased)
director: Yes, I have a wife and kids.
(waitress cracks up)
jeffrey tambor: He means Matt Dodds. Matt has two kids. They're divorced.
Director: His kids are divorced?
(waitress cracks up again)
jeffrey tambor: do you have to laugh at everything? A man just died!

Agreed fully! That was the best part of this movie, hands down.

Yeah, that was pretty funny. It didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the film, which I guess is why it was funny lol.
