One of the weirdest and funniest scenes in film history occurs within the first thirty minutes of Mulholland Drive (2001). The scene depicts a business conference at a film studio. Executives welcome a mysterious visitor. We don't know who this grim-faced man is, but everyone is treating him as if he's extremely important and they seem terrified of doing anything to displease him. One executive apologizes to him for the bad espresso he was served on his last visit, but he assures him they have now found "one of the finest espressos" to serve him. The man takes one sip of the espresso, gags as if he drank arsenic, and vomits up brown liquid into a napkin. I have no idea what that was all about, but it was outrageous and unexpected and it made me laugh a lot.
