Everything Is Illuminated

The movie "Everything Is Illuminated" is a touching movie about Jonathan's search for his grandfather's past. A comedy at times, and a drama that brings you to your knees the next, it is hard not to get engrossed in this film. This was just one scene that stood out for me, and had me laughing out loud hours later. It was just the epitomy of the Russian thought process: meat, vodka and other Russians... that is the meaning of life.

(Because Alex can't say the name Jonathan, he calls him Jonfen instead)
Jonfen: "I'm a vegetarian."
Alex: "What does this mean?"
Jonfen: "It means i don't eat any meat."
Alex: "But why?"
Jonfen: "I just don't."
Alex: "What about steak?"
Jonfen: "No."
Alex: "Chickens?"
Jonfen: "No."
Alex: "And the sausage?"
Jonfen: "No."
Alex (in Russian): "Grandfather, he says he does not eat meat."
Grandfather (in Russian): "Is he sick?"
Alex (in Russian): "No."
Grandfather (in Russian): "What about sausage?"
