Love Is Strange (2014)

Michael J. Burg: Bartender

Quotes 

• Bartender : Are you guys new in the neighborhood?

  Ben : Are you kidding? There was a famous "sip in" right here in this bar to challenge the New York State regulation that prohibited bars from serving homosexuals.

  Bartender : Yeah, we have a clipping from The New York Times framed here somewhere.

  Ben : 1966. Me and four other guys, we came in here accompanied by five reporters. When we were denied service, we denounced the State Liquor Authority.

  Bartender : Oh my God. You're that guy?

  Ben : Yeah, I was one of the guys.

  Bartender : Wow. Well, this round's on me, fellas.

  [Ben and George start laughing as soon as the bartender leaves] 

  George : You are such a liar!

  Ben : What?

  George : You'll do anything for a free drink!

  Ben : Well, I knew the guy who thought it up.

  George : Who, Frank?

  Ben : Yeah. That was his claim to fame.

  George : Oh, I thought his claim to fame was something entirely different.

  Ben : Well, that too.

  [both start laughing even harder]
