Willie [played by John Lurie]: “You're sure you don't want a TV dinner?”
Eva [played by Eszter Balint]: “Yes.
I'm not hungry. Why is it called ‘TV dinner’?”
Willie: “Um... You're supposed to eat it
while you watch TV. Television.”
Eva: “I know what a TV is. Where does
that meat come from?”:
Willie: “What do you mean?”
Eva: “What does that meat come from?”
Willie: “I guess it comes from a cow.”
Eva: “From a cow? It doesn't even look
like meat.”
Willie: “Eva, stop bugging me, will you?
You know, this is the way we eat in America. I got my meat, I got my potatoes,
I got my vegetables, I got my dessert, and I don't even have to wash the
dishes.”— Stranger Than Paradise
(1984), screenplay by Jim Jarmusch and John Lurie, directed by Jim Jarmusch
