   Dialog from the video on my profile:

 

 -I'd like a plain omelet.

                  

 -No potatoes.Tomatoes instead.A cup of coffee and wheat toast.

 -No substitutions. 

  -What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes?

 

   -Only what's on the menu. You can have number two, a plain omelet.It comes with fries and rolls.    -I know what it comes with, but it's not what I want.        - Make up your mind.    - Wait.I have made up my mind.I'd like a plain omelet.No potatoes on the plate.A cup of coffee and a side order of wheat toast.   -I'm sorry, we don't have any side orders of toast.   I'll give you an English muffin or a coffee roll.   -No side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don't you?       -Would you like to talk to the manager?       - Hey, mack.

   - Shut up

   You've got bread and a toaster of some kind?

   -I don't make the rules.     -I'll make it as easy for you as I can.    -I'd like a plain omelet and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast.    No mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce, and a cup of coffee.        -A number two.A chicken sal san.    Hold the butter, the lettuce and the mayonnaise.    And a cup of coffee.    Anything else?       -Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast...    give me a check for a chicken salad sandwich...   and you haven't broken any rules.        -You want me to hold the chicken, huh?        -I want you to hold it between your knees.

sure, you are right,Agnolia,  the language is  a reflection of individuals culture,intellectual development.

what I wanted to point out here is actually Jack Nickolson and his artistic genius.I am a big fan of him and his movies such as 'one fly over the cuckoo's nest' , 'as good as it gets' and others. Here I posted a video from the 'Five Easy Pieces' with the scene in the cafe where his character tries to order a dinner. At first sight,not a big deal, but just see how it turns out ! :)

Don't you think that any language can sound primitive?  the vocabulary of a person depends on  education, needs, cultaral background, upbringing

 sometimes i've heard more terrible dialogue among Russians
