One little thing I always liked is when McCluskey asks, "How's the Italian food in this restaurant?", like he's not familiar enough with it to ask about a specific dish. Being half-Italian, I never heard that exactly, but I remember my parents talking about "Chinese food" like it was all one thing, and saying they were going to "The Chinese Joint," like that was the restaurant's name.
