Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Linguini Incident is a 1991 comedy/crime caper directed by Richard Shepherd (who also co-wrote the script with Tamar Brott) starring Rosanna Arquette and David Bowie.Lucy (Arquette) is a Houdini-obsessed waitress/aspiring escape artiste, desperate for cash to buy Mrs Houdini's wedding ring to add to her already out-of-control memorabilia collection. Monte (Bowie) is a down-on-his-luck British bartender desperate to get married in order to get a Green Card. After some delicate negotiation, Monte agrees to help Lucy rob the New York restaurant (owned by long-time gamblers Cecil and Dante) where they both work, in return for which she agrees to marry him. In need of a third man, they team up with Viv (Eszter Balint), Lucy's best friend, who is a struggling self-defence lingerie designer. Hilarity Ensues.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the Guns N' Roses album "The Spaghetti Incident?", which the film predates by roughly two years. Also not to be confused with the Noodle Incident trope or the ambiguous anecdote from Calvin and Hobbes that gives the trope its name. | |

Citizenship Marriage: Lucy’s agreement to enter into one of these is apparently Monte’s motivation for the heist. | |

Caper Rationalization: Lucy convinces Viv to take part in the robbery despite her moral objections by reminding her that Cecil and Dante are "scumbags and tricksters." | |

| The Linguini Incident / int_b5b4b485 | comment |
The Bet: Cecil and Dante are constant betters, on everything, usually with high, ridiculous stakes. | |

| The Linguini Incident / int_eff65ef6 | comment |
Chained to a Bed: An unusual example in which Monte handcuffs himself and Lucy to her bed, throwing the key out of reach, so she can 'get to know him better'. And then he promptly falls asleep. | |
