Deli Plater: The Movie

Act 1, Scene 1: 

She picks up 

a dropped piece of 

sliced mozzarella cheese 

that had fallen from 

his salami and cheese platter. 

She sniffs the cheese deeply, 

winces slightly, 

looks at him 

with a combination of 

vague disgust and sympathy, 

then places her fingers

under his nose 

and says:

“Smell that?”

    “Yeah.”

That’s not my feet, that’s 

your cheese.”

At that moment, 

he knew.
