Barista: Good morning! Can I take your order?

Beth: Can I get a tall chai?

Danny: And a large black coffee.

Barista: A what?

Danny: Large black coffee.

Barista: Do you mean a venti?

Danny: No, I mean a large.

Beth: He means a venti. Yeah, the biggest one you've got.

Barista: Venti means large.

Danny: No. Venti means "twenty".

Beth: Danny...

Danny: Yeah. "Large" is large. In fact, "tall" is large, and "grande" is Spanish for large. "Venti" is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations! You're stupid in three languages.

Barista: Look, dick... venti is a large coffee.

Danny: Oh, really? Says who, Fellini?

Beth: [quickly reaches for her wallet] How much is that? Here's a ten.

Danny: Do you, uh, accept lire? Or is it all Euros now?
