Nous n’avons pas crème. Sans lait, ça ira ?

A man comes into a restaurant. He sits down a table. He says : “Waiter, bring me a cup of coffee without cream.” Five minutes later the waiter comes back and says: “I’m sorry, sir, we have no cream, can it be without milk?”

Lubitsch, Garbo, Douglas
Ninotchka (1939)
