Cigarettes & Coffee is a 1993 short film (24 minutes) written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.It revolves around three groups of people who all find themselves in a roadside diner, at some unmentioned location that apparently isn't that far from Las Vegas. At one table is a very nervous younger man—his name is eventually revealed as Douglas Walker—who is telling a much calmer older man (played by Philip Baker Hall) a story about the young man's wife cheating on him with his best friend Steve. At another table a newlywed husband is angrily berating his wife about losing a large amount of money at craps. Also, there's a vaguely sinister man named Bill (Miguel Ferrer) who has a long and inscrutable conversation on the pay phone outside the diner, before coming in to the counter for coffee.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This film got made when P.T. Anderson, then a production assistant on a TV movie, gave his script to Philip Baker Hall, who was starring in the movie. It was financed with borrowed money and ten grand that Ernie Anderson, his father, had put away for his college. The film was a hit at Sundance and other festivals and got Anderson started on a feature film career. Elements of this film, namely Philip Baker Hall being a vaguely mobbed-up fixer type who gives advice to a young man in a diner, were re-used in Anderson's first feature film, Hard Eight.Not to be confused with Jim Jarmusch feature Coffee and Cigarettes. | |

Flashback: Douglas tells the story of how he found out his wife was cheating on him. He has a ritual of signing a $10 or $20 before he goes gambling. He did just that the night before, only to give it to his buddy Steve when Steve asked for some cash. He later finds the $20 again—in the hotel room he's sharing with his wife, right next to his bed. | |

Hyperlink Story: Characters are linked by a $20 bill with Douglas's name on it. Douglas gave it to Steve, then got it back and gambled with it. Someone brought the $20 into the diner. The old man receives the $20 as change and drops it on the floor when he realizes that it's Doug's. Then the wife scoops it up off the floor as they're leaving. | |
