Exotic Fruit/ Mystery Train

Been on a re-watching movies kick. Love 'Mystery Train' by Jim Jarmusch. The main jist is the movie consists of 3 stories, and these stories overlap in that the people involved all spend the night at the hotel owned by Screamin' Jay Hawkins (in the red outfit). It's set in Memphis, which is most critical to the first story, about 2 japanese kids on a pilgrimage to see Graceland, but the city plays a part in the other stories, too. I am mesmerized by this movie. Screamin' Jay's outfit plays a part in that.... Anyway, there's a scene towards the end with Jay and the bellhop that makes this a perfect entertainment item for the blog (food & movie together....)

Say, do you have anymore of those Japanese Plums? Or any other exotic fruits from around the globe?
You ate my only plum, remember?
Ohhhhh. Yeah.

Doesn't look like much on the page, it's great cinema, though, I promise.
