You know I like my dessert first
Something awesome happened at dinner at Red Robin last night, and it totally made my day. I doubt many of you will know the reference, but that our waiter did is what made it so awesome!
When Steven and I were watching Fast Five during our Fast and Furious marathon in December/January we picked up on an AWESOMELY cheesy line that we hadn’t remembered from before. In the movie, someone approaches Dwayne Johnson’s character, Hobbs, and tells him he has good news and bad news. So Hobbs says “You know I like my dessert first,” and the guy gives him the good news. Ha! Then, Hobbs says “Gimme the damn veggies then,” and, yeah, you got it, the guy gives him the bad news. Here’s a video in case my awesome explanation makes no sense:
So when Steven and I were watching that we were dying over how amazingly cheesy those lines are. And I told Steven I was going to start saying “I have good news and bad news” to him more often so he could use those lines. And that I would appreciate it if he did the same for me.
Surprisingly though, we don’t say it to each other that often, so not many opportunities have presented themselves. That is, until, last night!
When the waiter came to the table with our bill he said “I have good news and bad news.” Instead of wondering what the heck the bad news could possibly, I looked at Steven all excited, with wide eyes, and said “Should I say it?!”
I started laughing and told the waiter I wanted to quote a really cheesy movie line to him, but I didn’t think he’d get it. He asked what movie and I told him Fast Five and right away, he goes “Oh! You know I like my dessert first? And, gimme the veggies?”
I was astounded. And, way too over the moon excited that he knew the line!
So I got to say it!
“You know I like my dessert first!”
Then the waiter goes “Actually, I am going to give you the veggies.” Ha! “Your 10% on your loyalty card was declined.”
I was all, “Oh really, why?”
“Because you have a free burger on your card, and it used that instead!”
Ha ha ha.
Like I said, totally made my night!
And it would make my day to find out you start using these lines, too! Hee hee.
Themocracy
That’s hilarious. Good for the waiter!
I am totally going to start using that!
Funny! I thought the whole time I was going to read about some awesome piece of cheesecake that you ate lol
Love a freebie!!
Every 10th burger is free! We get quite a few free burgers there… 😉
we do too lol I tried the lettuce wrap gardenburger last time – very good! w/sweet potato fried of course 😉
Ha, ha great story. I have never seen the “Furious” movies but have heard that they are full of cheesy lines. One of the more memorable that I have heard is one I repeat in my head whenever I run my quarter mile intervals around the track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P2b_ygxIRY
They are! It’s great!
Are you doing them in 10 seconds or less?!
Vin looks so young in that scene 🙂
Ha, ha, I wish they only took 10 seconds (or less)! Sad that is the only time he is free! I hope he races often. 🙂
rofl!!!! Love it!!!
So funny!! Though it would’ve been better if you DID get dessert first! 🙂
Ha ha! I often do when I go to the vegan restaurant across from my office for lunch! 😀
I never remember movie quotes! If I hear someone else say them, I’ll totally get it, but I can’t remember them to quote them myself! The best I’ve ever done was once a few years ago back when “that’s what she said” was in its hey day, I was with D in a store and he was signing the credit card machine at the register. He was trying to tap the “accept” button on the screen but it wasn’t taking it so he tapped it pretty hard a couple of times. The girl was like, “It’s really sensitive; you don’t have to pound it!” I had to lay a “that’s what she said” down on that one. hahaha
Wait. TWSS is old?! Ha ha! I say it all the time now! I even have a tune I hum it (instead of saying “TWSS”) and friends know the tune… anyway! That’s an awesome one!
Ha ha ha I’m so glad you got to use it, but for added challenge you should have just said it without the preface 😉 next time! 🙂
I know! I didn’t want to sound totally crazy! Cause… why would those lines make any sense if you hadn’t seen the movie?! 🙂
LOL! Yay for free burgers!
Quoting bad movie lines for the win! And SO great that the waiter knew the movie!
I remember we quoted the line from “Dirty Dancing” to a restaurant hostess when she sat us in the corner (guess what we said to her…), and she was clueless – had NO idea what we were talking about. She was also about 20 years younger than we were. Oh well!
Oh my gosh! Did she think you call yourself baby?! LOL!!!!
I think she thought that we were really weird.
haha! that’s awesome!
I did not remember the quote so I had to watch the video. Then I laughed. Again, I hope I did laugh when I heard those lines in the movie. 🙂
OMGGGGGG, this is the best. I hope next time we’re together, we are in a situation (or manufacture one!) to use that line.
Harrison and I always say, “You CAN be an attorney…if you want” (from “21 Jump Street”) any time one of us says “You can do [blah blah].” I’m not sure if anyone gets the reference though.
We will totally have to! 🙂
Dang! I don’t recall that line, but I really liked that movie! I need to watch it again!
