matt k Then you also earned way less. Economy works in an akward way currently in the past 8 years it's not prices going up faster than usual (actually slower) it's our wages that grow a lot slower than in the past. Wages will keep on being compressed untill there will be a huge mass of underpaid slaves and a small number of hyper-wealthy assholes closed inside walled resorts....it's the closing of the loop of capitalism which will bring humanity back to the middle ages (few rich aristocrats inside walled castles surrounded by masses of peasants) after humanism of the 17th and 18th century.
Only in the fantasy land of the new america has 8 years (really more like 24 if you consider how liberal bush II was/is not to mention the clintons) of liberal thinking and control, fighting at every turn against capitalism, somehow been the fault of capitalism itself. Its the one, and only, form of economy that gives the working class both a chance at a decent life (staying in it) and a chance to move up. What form would you prefer to this evil system? Its not capitalism that's causing wage stagnation and increased pricing, its massive government fraud and waste. Billions being stolen for nonsense programs and lining of the politicians pockets while at the same time companies are virtually forced to compete in the massively expensive lobbyist system to survive (or be destroyed by the government).
+Sandro Bindelli A different trend would be akward. Cone is the natural state of every echosystem. Artificial laws, let's call them [Human's law] are supposed to give us a status that's different than the natural laws. From formal's logic viewpoint it is akward that a mother gets shelter and food from her own groun up children.
Imagine the push the liberals are trying to get $15 hr for forgetting to put a straw with your drink and always fucking up the orders. Imagine what the price will be then
I love this scene! Lester looks like he hit rock bottom. He "quits" his high paying sales rep job, ends up working at a fast food joint and catches his wife cheating on him (which he probably suspected all along). And yet, he still managed to get the upper hand! It's amazing how far you can get in life once you stop giving a fuck. :)
+Gerald Spencer In reality he would have just left his wife and got a slightly less paying job that was till great and he would have been happy. But yeah just fuck everyone elses life up to prove a point like a child, that's cool too. I loved the movie for what it was, but people acting like it's a valid way to live your life are just naive and are going to wake up one day, forty years old with no prospects in life and wonder what happened.
He was rock bottom when he was in the high paying job. That's the point of his story. He was much happier flipping burgers at Smiley Burger. Catching his wife cheating on him is just icing on the cake
but the more important line for me is: "i want you to be happy", wich means he is free, feel free and he want to grow up. nobody can destroy his inner freedom
Love this scene. That fact that Lester doesn't care shows his wife, like his boss, has no power over him and there fore can do whatever he wants. He has nothing to lose while she has everything to lose.
The girl chiming in "you are Busted" is so great she got that line, then the Wife snaps back like a bitch, and He says "You are on her turf" one of the best back and forth exchanges ever
“ You don’t get to tell me what to do ever again .” -one of the greatest lines in cinema history . Also one of the greatest lines in healing from narcissistic trauma history
He probably saw it coming so he doesn't care. Also by arguing about it with Carolyn would lower him to her level in some ways so he has more morals than her. He was kind of toying with her like she was with him.
I felt bad for Lester but felt an over-whelming sense of humour & even relief when he said "No no. You, don't get to tell me what to do, ever, again". EPIC!
Its so sad his character gets killed off soon after this. It looked like he was gonna start having some happier times now that he found the value of life.
In a way, his character HAD to die. The movie depicted a very dark, grim, meandering lifestyle that every character was trapped in, in one way or another. Every character in this film is dissatisfied with their current life, and it's that miserable dissatisfaction that drove the film. Lester (Spacey) let go of his responsibilities, and started doing what he wanted, when he wanted. Immediately his life took a steady trajectory upwards. He got a large sum of cash, his dream car, the girl he wanted, better physical shape, recreational drugs, and overall a much happier quality of life. Just when he was at the summit of that positive headspace is when he died (coming off that rush of having the girl he illegally lusted for, basically hand herself over to him, and him finding the maturity to turn her away, a maturity he didn't know he even had). He had to die because he broke the cycle- he was so confident & careless that he had inadvertently broke himself free of the trapped lifestyle that had held onto him for so long. The universe the film depicts doesn't have room for such happiness. It's a comedy film with a really dark undertone, and the more you watch it, the more you truly understand the director's vision. I know it may sound like I'm reaching, but the next time you rewatch this film, take a look at the first scene that depicts Lester: it's his face in a reflection of his computer monitor at work, and the text on the monitor forms the shape of jail cell bars, symbolizing how Lester saw himself as a prisoner. Again, sorry for rambling. I just love film, and this movie is one of my favourites.
@@caseyaulbach7693 Nice take on the movie. I think a lot of us have to get so far down and depressed before we try and change and that's just usually by necessity at that point. Like Lester. A lot of us learned how to survive but not really live so we are pretty good at surviving and hanging in there way past the time for the change for a variety of reasons. I know that pain was the catalyst for my change. Now I'm grateful for it, but not at the time. I consider myself lucky.
I love it when he corrects Carolyn after she reacts to "you are soooo busted". Lester defends his manager and her upward smirk for him says to the world "yeah the little guys have a voice, you can't piss around on our patch, we call the shots here and I've just been given some respect so up yours". Very meaningful mini scene in a truly outstanding piece of high-end cinema that will continue to be talked about when all of us reading this post today are long gone
I loved this movie and still do. I was married to a narcissist like Annette Benning at the time and we saw the movie together. Except I didn't know what a narcissist was at the time. I told her I loved the movie, she said "I don't know what was so great about it". She probably loved the house, the women's clothes and the fact she was probably cheating on me at the time too. She probably didn't understand what was wrong with their marriage or their lives. She was as deep as a mud puddle and had no insight whatsoever. She was as healthy as I was. I'm very lucky to have left before the children came. Felt like I escaped prison when I left her. Gratitude, whenever I think about it. Frickin great movie though.
I love the fact that he's working at a place called "Mr. Smileys," cause after all, Lester was miserable when the movie started, then turned his life around and died smiling.
Two Fingers My Friends I don’t believe in hell, but if it does exist, there’s surely a place there for these people crying spoilers over 20-year old movies. 😤
And a few decades later after that, he becomes president, and then a few decades after that, creates a private military corporation, goes batshit and wages war on the free world.
i got to tell that to my ex fiance the same fucking thing 5 years before this movie.. "you dont get to tell me what to do.. ever again.".. sooo fucking liberating.
Under the circumstances, I'd say Spacey's character gave a pretty good response. That was some great customer service right there. Give this guy a raise
Reminds me of when I found emails of my ex wifes affair. She used to treat me pretty bad. I just laughed and laughed. She divorced me, I cried all the way to the bank because she had to sell her part of ownership in her family's company and pay me half. I quit my job, sold everything and started my new life. She emailed me about 2 years later asking me to take her back, I never returned a response, last I heard she weighed 200lbs and isn't aging well. Karma is a Mutha F'er!!
Fun fact: the song in the background is "As Long As I'm Singing", sung by Bobby Darin. Kevin Spacey played Bobby Darin in the film Beyond the Sea (2004), which he directed, and sang the songs himself. Look it up. Spacey is really a great singer.
I thought it was too dramatic in some ways, like the "weird friend" and his plastic bag. But last week I saw a bag flying and dancing over the clouds and I thought, this weird kid has a point. But you're right, it seems like the ending would be smth you'd read in a newspaper and this is the build up
Fuck yeah this scene is so much fun. I know what Kevin has done or revealed to have done as of late is despicable and people are angry at him and no longer want to see him act again, but one can, and should separate the art from the artist and still enjoy a performance or film of the past he did.
He has been found no guilty both in US and UK courts. The main allegation by Anthony Rapp was proven to be a lie in court. The party did not even exist.
Yes. It is a classic respons they got served by the alpha male. Kevin/Lester is a kickass actor/character. I been loving him ever since I seen American Beauty which was the first movie i saw in 2000 (came out in Norway then). But yes brilliant movie.
Right now reading all the comments after the accusation. This comment section is great. All the stuff before 2 days ago is all nice! After that, all hell breaks loose!
This movie was so underrated when it was shown in theaters. I remember how uncomfortable the audience felt because it was poking fun at American society. People didn't know how to react.
@@KennethWyant-ni7ez it's ironic that this exact movie, a critique of american society, is so popular on the youtube algorithm, which itself is a product of the same society which this movie critiques.
Try eating at places other than McDonald's and Burger King and you might find prices like that since they don't include a billion dollars in advertising in the prices of their food.
You are a perfect exemple of someone who had "shitty" life, but did not back down in putting your shit together and moving on. You sir deserve an award from life and my eternal recognition
American beauty was such a messed up and dementedly twisted movie. A true classic and such a social statement. This scene was utterly classic and was that "Smile, I can see the red on your hands," moments. What a slippery slope... Sadly this had to be inspired by real events... And what is even funnier was the manager of the drive through. That judgemental glare was so perfectly Zen for the moment. This was a text book BUSTED moment.
The irony in all of this is that it doesn't affect Lester as it does Carolyn, as we see her life spiral out of control without Lester by her side. I love the scene where Carolyn is in her car and she screams after Buddy dumps her and she realizes she has no one left... and then the song All Right Now comes on. Best ever.
"You need more than that my little Hombre" I've stolen that line and used it hundreds of times while bartending. Between customers and co workers someone is always shouting their needs at you.
***** Nah, I had some really wonderful regulars and even 80% of new customers are pretty cool. But they still shout their needs at you because that is the point of a bar or restaurant. But yeah, at any given bar 1 in 5 people sitting there are full blown alcoholics who make life hell from time to time.
The final sentence is every married man's dream...damn shame it's a fictional movie and not based in reality....as a matter of fact, the whole movie is this way. Love this movie.
true... but Americans can barely speak their own adoptive European language of English, let alone be able to survive in another country or culture.... Americans would be shocked to experience REAL freedom and REAL opportunity like in Europe
omg he's so cool about the whole situation; he didn't overreact like most people would. I'd like to master the whole "not giving a flying fuck" attitude someday xD
+NOBUNAGA1991 Not age. I have been on death's door several time's and had to make peace because I was on my way out too often, and I always pulled through. When you lie dying, knowing you are going to finally catch a glimpse of that white buffalo, you stop caring too much. Trick is to always have an exit and be prepared, and knowing that you are not about to die. And if you are, well fuck it. In case you are wondering: hit by car, hit by bus, cocaine overdose, beaten to within an inch of my life, brainworms, stabbed, amoebic disentery, in that order.
I love the fact that he defends Jannine
I like the fact that she left it to him afterwards
resepct jannine #jannine4life !!!!!!
This was a great scene of a great movie. Spacey killed it and Janine lol
+Grace Ful Not really relevant though, is it?
Well she is senior drive thru manager lol

So true. We try so hard to fit-in and conform. When you stop giving a fuck you actually get the power that was taken from you by everyone.
You could say he hit rock bottom as a working man. But he's up in the skies and above the clouds as a human.
+Gerald Spencer In reality he would have just left his wife and got a slightly less paying job that was till great and he would have been happy.

He was rock bottom when he was in the high paying job. That's the point of his story. He was much happier flipping burgers at Smiley Burger. Catching his wife cheating on him is just icing on the cake
"Honey it's okay, I just want you to be happy."

then he proceeded to add the special sauce instead

LOL *slow claps*
No No, you don't get to tell me what to do, ever again. - I actually used this line in a breakup years ago, it just came out lol
and remember that one time I got arrested and pretended to be a cripple to steal several million dollars from that Argentinian ship? haha, good times.
I'll take $800 for "Things that never happened", Alex.
probably happened but was a result of autism

Typical cheating wife tries yelling at the husband like it's his fault.
Exactly!

and after she's attempting to kill him... to not feeling herself a "victim"
The perp. playing the victim...see that a lot nowadays.
No No, YOU don't get to tell me what to do, EVER, AGAIN. :)
Boss level burn
@@NinjaBuddha503 INDEED
That was smooth.
My nigga handled that shit like a gangsta !
that slap in the face of the person who tells you what to do.
"You don't get to tell me what to do ever again" - only married guys truly understand the gravity of that statement.
Us single guys understand it even better… why do you think we didn’t get married 😂✌️❤️🇨🇦
“ You don’t get to tell me what to do ever again .” -one of the greatest lines in cinema history .
Also one of the greatest lines in healing from narcissistic trauma history
Only Kevin Spacey could deliver such a line so perfectly
Sooo goood. Kevin Spacey is brilliant in this movie.
Kevin spacey may have turned out to be slime but man is he talented.
I like how Lester is just too damn laid back, awesome acting Spacey
He probably saw it coming so he doesn't care. Also by arguing about it with Carolyn would lower him to her level in some ways so he has more morals than her. He was kind of toying with her like she was with him.
his character/personality reminds me of Peter in Office Space
@@gattiyon u got a case of the mondaysss
"No, No, you don't get to tell me what to do. ever....again."
I love how Cool, Calm and Collected he is when he deliveries that line as well.
"No, no!! You... don't get to tell me what to do... ever... again."
Kinslayer Hands them the food nonchalantly with a facial expression that said "Choke on that, slapnuts!"
Then she says:" Really? Get me a diet coke. How about that?"
"We've met before, but SOMETHING tells me you're going to remember me this time!"
"You......don't get to tell ME what to do......ever again" and at that moment, six million men collectively smiled.
I felt bad for Lester but felt an over-whelming sense of humour & even relief when he said "No no. You, don't get to tell me what to do, ever, again". EPIC!
why does she remind me of hillary clinton?

I love how Lester is just standing there calmly not reacting to his wife cheating on him. That's good and hilarious!
Is because he doesn't care about her anymore. She does not exist to him. It's empowering.
Under the circumstances, I'd say Spacey's character gave a pretty good response. That was some great customer service right there. Give this guy a raise
Absolutely fantastic movie if you are old enough to appreciate it. "No, Carolyn, you don't get to tell me what to do ever again". Classic.
SMILE! YOU'RE AT MR. SMILEY'S! :)
Would you like some Smiley sauce with that?

On my list of great actors. Kevin Spacey is definitely one of them. 👏 👏
“Her husband. But something tells me you’ll remember me this time.“ 🙈🙈😂😂😂
This movie was really uncomfortable to watch, not really sure why, maybe it's because it's not so far from reality in some ways.
It's kind of like the movie Office Space, what the characters go through in life really hits home......

Worst than Requiem for a Dream? I think not.
Definitely not, I watched that movie once and only once.

We've met before.But something tells me you're gonna remember me this time.Outstanding!!!!!
Fuck yeah this scene is so much fun. I know what Kevin has done or revealed to have done as of late is despicable and people are angry at him and no longer want to see him act again, but one can, and should separate the art from the artist and still enjoy a performance or film of the past he did.

Classic.
Her only concern for his life was how it reflected on HER life.
I missssss him, I hope everything works out for him ❤😭love you Kevin Spacey ❤
Kevin Spacey invented SAVAGE with this scene.
The fact that he may be a despicable man doesnt deny the fact that he's one of the best actors of this era.
What do you mean he might be a despicable man ! He is not a pedo like Gary or Jimmy or Rolf.
@@iainwallington474 yup he is not even close to the top closet pedos. This man's sin was stupid drunk moment and that too years before.

Yes. It is a classic respons they got served by the alpha male. Kevin/Lester is a kickass actor/character. I been loving him ever since I seen American Beauty which was the first movie i saw in 2000 (came out in Norway then). But yes brilliant movie.
I've seen this movie like a hundred times and I think it's time for me to watch it again. It simply amazes me!
Kevin is such a wonderful actor
This cut it off before the best part. I like the whimsical way he lifts the take out bags. That shouldn't have been snipped short.
Solid gold acting, Mr. Spacey!
Right now reading all the comments after the accusation. This comment section is great. All the stuff before 2 days ago is all nice! After that, all hell breaks loose!
"...you need more than that my little hombre" LOL!
Mmm yummy.
Oh... American BEAUTY. Wrong part of TH-cam again.
The right side is with the yale thing...
LOL !
I think if you stay, something bad will happen...
My next suit is a double breasted, six button with peak lapels. Like Him.
Mr. Bateman goes eating at Mr. Smileys? Looks like Dorsia is full on reservations ... again. :'DD
i want movies from the 90s back!!!!!!
This movie was so underrated when it was shown in theaters. I remember how uncomfortable the audience felt because it was poking fun at American society. People didn't know how to react.
I agree. Not many noticed because you aren't a popular man. You are unpopular on TH-cam algorithms.
@@KennethWyant-ni7ez it's ironic that this exact movie, a critique of american society, is so popular on the youtube algorithm, which itself is a product of the same society which this movie critiques.
I LOVED this movie. It’s still my favorite.
Underrated? It won 5 academy awards, including best picture…
@@ericdaniel323 People use that word ignorantly, along with “wholesome” and “literally”.
“You don’t get to tell me what to do ever again”. SAVAGE!
“we’ve met before, but something tells me you’re going to remember this time”. 😆
One of the best Actor in the Entire World
“You. don’t get to tell me what to do. Ever. Again.” 😂
“You don’t get to tell me what to do ever again.” I want to drop that line on someone, anyone, so bad
"You don't get to tell me what to do, ever again" I used this on my ex and the look on her face was priceless.
Always love everytimes Kevin Spacey says "ever again"
Honey, it's ok. I want you to be happy
- Would you like smily sauce with that?
Omfg I fucking died
2 double smiley sandwiches with 2 curly fries and 2 vanilla shakes for $7.98?? Damn you, inflation..
MindlessHeresy hahaha well played young Sir. Take Economics as a degree - you may have fun learning about real life situations.
Try eating at places other than McDonald's and Burger King and you might find prices like that since they don't include a billion dollars in advertising in the prices of their food.
Shakes in fast food places, central Florida are about $4-5.00 USD. Food is about $5-6.00.
People also made less money too
Wait the milkshake machine was actually working??
“You are _so_ busted!”
Janine with the delivery. 👍
"You don't get to tell me what to do ever again"
He shouldn't have let her in the first place
He wanted to make things better. For her. His daughter. For himself. She messed up.
You are soooo busted... ahahahaha!
0:10 he's working at Mr. Smiley's not Burger King
Best line in entire movie “no you don’t get to tell me what to do …. ever … again” 😂
"We've met before, but something tells me you're going to remember me this time." 😂
I love the way he looks at Janine after defending her haha
You are a perfect exemple of someone who had "shitty" life, but did not back down in putting your shit together and moving on. You sir deserve an award from life and my eternal recognition
Comments that Aged Like Milk for $500 Alex
American beauty was such a messed up and dementedly twisted movie. A true classic and such a social statement. This scene was utterly classic and was that "Smile, I can see the red on your hands," moments. What a slippery slope...
Sadly this had to be inspired by real events... And what is even funnier was the manager of the drive through. That judgemental glare was so perfectly Zen for the moment.
This was a text book BUSTED moment.
The irony in all of this is that it doesn't affect Lester as it does Carolyn, as we see her life spiral out of control without Lester by her side. I love the scene where Carolyn is in her car and she screams after Buddy dumps her and she realizes she has no one left... and then the song All Right Now comes on. Best ever.
what's really unbelievably sad in this clip is that 2 double burger with fries and vanilla shake combos are only $7.98
The day I left my wife, I unabashedly stole the line that " you don't get to tell me what to do ever again.'
Kevin's reaction I see priceless great actor.
The perfect reply for her would have been to say: Give me some smiley sauce lester
The beef and cheese pot pie on a stick sounds really good, and at $1.99 the price was right. Too bad it was only available for a limited time 😪
It's long gone now, my friend.
Damn they don’t make movies like this anymore. It’s a shame
I believe the sentence that most women would dread to hear from their husbands is “Oh no. You. Don’t get to tell me. What to do. Ever…..again.” RIP.
0:20 my little Harambe :(
Hombre.
Kevin biffed the shit out of that line. Couldn't consult anyone who knows even the slightest bit about the Spanish language?
"No, you don't get to tell me what to do, ever again." Great line, except he does still love her.
"You need more than that my little Hombre" I've stolen that line and used it hundreds of times while bartending. Between customers and co workers someone is always shouting their needs at you.
Customers suck big time eh? ;D
Agakroete45 yes alcoholic customers suck big time.
***** Nah, I had some really wonderful regulars and even 80% of new customers are pretty cool. But they still shout their needs at you because that is the point of a bar or restaurant. But yeah, at any given bar 1 in 5 people sitting there are full blown alcoholics who make life hell from time to time.
That last line. Still get chills.
"technically you're on her turf" damn straight
The final sentence is every married man's dream...damn shame it's a fictional movie and not based in reality....as a matter of fact, the whole movie is this way. Love this movie.
Lose your job so you are the one getting alimony when you divorce. 😂
This is one of my favorite scenes ever
Kevin Spacey makes me laugh even without saying anything. Love the deadpan facial expressions.

Would you like smile sauce with that. booom that aged f*cking well
No No, you. don't get to tell me what to do.
ever.
again.
And to think, I still want to use this line on my boss
He should've finished by saying, "Have a nice day."
ooh! That shatter transition! beautiful! makes the scene. I think it symbolizes how their marriage is shattering. :)
You will never want to live in US suburbia after this.
What @TERRIBLE/terrible GOD awfully DISGUSTING @place ⊙
Europe ;-)
true... but Americans can barely speak their own adoptive European language of English, let alone be able to survive in another country or culture.... Americans would be shocked to experience REAL freedom and REAL opportunity like in Europe
He didn’t go to work in Burger King, he went to work at Mr Smiley’s.
"you don't get to tell what to do ever again" man i love that line!!!!
omg he's so cool about the whole situation; he didn't overreact like most people would. I'd like to master the whole "not giving a flying fuck" attitude someday xD
+Noelia Killjoy From what I've heard, that attitude comes naturally with age. Enjoy life in the mean time :P
+NOBUNAGA1991 develop 'reason', my friend
+NOBUNAGA1991 Not age. I have been on death's door several time's and had to make peace because I was on my way out too often, and I always pulled through. When you lie dying, knowing you are going to finally catch a glimpse of that white buffalo, you stop caring too much. Trick is to always have an exit and be prepared, and knowing that you are not about to die. And if you are, well fuck it.
In case you are wondering: hit by car, hit by bus, cocaine overdose, beaten to within an inch of my life, brainworms, stabbed, amoebic disentery, in that order.
