Joe Fox: The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino.


One of my all time favorite Nora Ephron movies. This movie line was spoken by Tom Hank's charactor, Joe Fox as he writes to Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan). This is one of Ephon's clever essays that she inserts into her scripts. Of course, the price of a defining sense of self has changed slightly since the release of the movie.

Written by: Nora Ephron
