"Reservoir Dogs" Mr. Pink does not tip!

Warning: Explicit Language! Reservoir Dogs is Quentin Tarantino's first feature film, and man is it a great beginning to a great career. Say what you will about Tarantino as a person, but the man can write some impressive dialogue that feels real and does not hold back one bit. Granted these days Tarantino has been delving into to some different areas of faux history, but this single scene in my opinion shows his innate ability to write the most compelling of dialogue about the most inane subjects. Here the crew who is to pull off a heist together is eating at a diner with their bosses. Nice Guy Eddie, the late Chris Penn, instructs everyone to toss in some cash for a tip for the waitress. Everyone does, except Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi). What follows is a conversation featuring all the main players of the film about tipping with Mr. Pink giving a compelling but jerk argument about why he does not tip. Great movie. Enjoy!
