The Question:

I can't remember the title of the movie that includes the following scene: Jack Nicholson is in a restaurant and he orders a plain sandwich, but the waitress says it's not on the menu. So he orders something else and says "hold this" and "hold that" until he gets what he wants. Can you help me?

The Answer:

That classic scene is from the movie "Five Easy Pieces" which was directed by Bob Rafelson and released in 1970. Here is a link to that quote at the Internet Movie Database.
