Did you see Coolidge on the season premiere of nip/tuck as an actress on the “show-within-the-show” Hearts and Scalpels, playing a woman whose having part of her vagina grafted onto her lips? Hilarious. That woman doesn’t even have to try to be funny.

Anybody mentioning a salad immediately brings to my mind the hilarious restaurant scene with the cockroach in the salad in Blake Edward's Victor/Victoria.

In my experience, salad is served before the entree, with dinner, AS dinner, or after the entree. We tend to serve it WITH dinner, but in most restaurants I have seen it served before the entree. After the entree, it would be served " to cleanse the palate".
Emily Post is not dead.
"You'll pardon me if I don't shake hands with you! I think you're filth! I think you're scum! You're a degenerate!"
"Benjamin, this all sounds a little half-baked."
"Oh no sir. It's fully baked."
EDIT (this could go on forever): "I think you're the most attractive of all my parents' friends."
Dustin talking with Anne from the pay phone in the hotel while she is a few feet away in the bar.

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living. Oliver Wendell Holmes
Another funny scene I remember is the restaurant scene in Victor/Victoria. An interesting point I ntoiced, is that the salad was served between the entre and the dessert. I wonder if this is common practice in Europe.
The scene in The Graduate right after Anne Bancroft makes her first attempt to seduce Dustin Hoffman. She is naked and has him trapped in her daughter's bedroom. They hear Mr. Robinson's car pull up to the house. Dustin runs downstairs and tries quite unsuccessfully to be calm as Mr. Robinson (wonderful performance by Murray Hamilton, who died way too young at 63) makes small talk in the den. Things get worse for Dustin when Anne calmly strolls into the room and lights a cigarette.
Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times, trying to bring an obnoxious customer a tray of food across a crowded dance floor.
