Times must be good if arguing over tips is the topic du jour.

Upon finishing his entire meal, plate clean, everything devoured the captain declared to me his meal was unsatisfactory and would not be leaving her a tip. I kept quiet and left more than enough tip to cover both of us.

Hey navigatro, how much are you tipping your van drivers? Are you leaving anything for housekeeping?

The guy who gives up Mr. Pink is the rat, stoolie, plant, cop. This scene is a little hint for what is coming next. Classic movie and way better than Hateful Eight or Kill Bill 1 or 2. (Although the Kill Bill's were fun.)
