I keep thinking of Robin Williams, playing the Russian immigrant in an american grocery store: “Where is the coffee line?”
“Moscow on the Hudson”. Not a very good movie.
From wikipedia:
In the end, Vladimir gets a job as a saxophonist in a wedding band, with time to play the music he loves during the day. He encounters the former apparatchik operating a hot dog stand, having lost his status back in the Soviet Union after Ivanov’s defection. Ironically, the apparatchik is grateful to see Ivan and gives him a hot dog for free, showing his appreciation for the life he now has in America.
quotes:
Vladimir Ivanoff: Yesterday I bought my first pair of American shoes. They were made in Italy.
Vladimir Ivanoff: In Moscow we fought for an inch of freedom! Here you take it and pour shit all over it.
