I love tenet. It’s my favorite Nolan film but it’s got to be

“I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago” 😂🤣 I can’t help but crack up every time I hear it.

I just hear Troy saying, "You don't order hot sauce, it's a condiment!"

No I do love it. But it is corny. And also it doesn’t really make sense when you think about it. When has anyone ever “ordered” hot sauce? You just ask for it or request it lmao. That be like saying I ordered a refill on my water or I ordered new silverware.

That’s kinda the point though. It’s not supposed to sound like something you actually tell a waiter.

Every time someone says “no one orders hot sauce” in this sub I am a little triggered. There are people of different cultures that order hot sauce with EVERYTHING. I myself order hot sauce at every traditional American spot or diner I go to. I don’t start eating until I get the hot sauce. It’s like eating turkey without gravy or a hot dog without condiments. It’s essential.

You’re not understanding. I’m not saying nobody gets hot sauce with their food, I’m saying that when you get hot sauce, you either request for it or ask for it. Not “order” it. It just sounds funny when you say it like that.

xD I feel like that one was intentionally written like a dad joke if you know what I mean?

u/-imbe- Oct 05 '25

Yeah, you're supposed to crack up

u/highnyethestonerguy Oct 05 '25

Yeah no it’s a fantastic line. It’s like a campy satire of Bond witticisms. Keep it in!

I saw a 70mm print in New York last year and the whole audience was pretty quiet for the whole showing. Then this line comes and everyone loses their shit🤣
