Could this possibly become the basis for a new Coen Brothers hit movie? I think it’s got potential…
I am speaking of course about the latest installment of the “Finger in the Wendy’s Chile Woman” . Turns out that she has quite the checkered past.
Ayala, who has maintained her innocence, faces a maximum seven-year sentence if convicted of the larceny charges, and at least another 16 months if convicted of unrelated charges that she allegedly bilked a woman $11,000 over a soured real estate deal two years ago.
Ayala has been involved in nearly a dozen legal battles, including a sexual harassment suit against an employer, an auto dealer over a car and even another fast-food chain for food poisoning.
She was arrested after a search warrant was served on her premises and the results have been sealed by the police. The police have also, as yet, not released the identity of the person missing the finger.
Anna Ayala appears in Justice Court in Las Vegas at the Clark County Courthouse, Tuesday, April 26, 2005. Ayala who claimed she found a human finger in a bowl of Wendy’s chili in San Jose, Calif., faces attempted grand theft charges, yet where that finger originated is apparently still a mystery. Ayala waived extradition to California.(AP Photo/Joe Cavaretta)So what do you guys think? Hit potential? I definitely think that Roseanne Barr could pull it off…
Maybe John Goodman could reunite with Roseanne as one of the police detectives…
was the day the story about the finger broke; During the ABC local newscast from LA at about 4:00 the newscaster broke down in laughter many times while he was reporting the story. The female newscaster sitting next to him could be hear chuckling in the background. When they came back on screen they could barely keep their composure. They ended the segment saying they would try to get it together during the break.
I was laughing so hard, I almost rolled on the floor. That is the first time I can recall in all my years of watching the news; the news anchor laughing during a straight news story.
A movie, I don’t know, but if it incorporated the newcaster scene maybe.
The Dude and Walter sit at the counter, both staring off
into space, both absently stirring their coffee with little
clinking noises.
AFTER A LONG BEAT:
WALTER (laughing)
That wasn’t her toe dude.
DUDE
Whose toe was it, Walter?
WALTER
How the fuck should I know? I do
know that nothing about it indicates–
DUDE
The nail polish, Walter.
WALTER
Fine, Dude. As if it’s impossible
to get some nail polish, apply it to
someone else’s toe–
DUDE
Someone else’s–where the fuck are
they gonna get–
WALTER
You want a toe? I can get you a
toe, believe me. There are ways,
Dude.
DUDE
But Walter–
WALTER
You don’t wanna know about
it, believe me.
DUDE
Yeah, but Walter–
WALTER
Hell I can get you a toe by 3 0’clock this
afternoon–with nail polish. These
fucking amateurs.
Dude
Walter–
WALTER
They send us a toe, we’re supposed
to shit ourselves with fear. Jesus Christ.
DUDE
Walter–
WALTER
The point is–
DUDE
They’re gonna kill her, Walter, and
then they’re gonna kill me–
WALTER
Dude that’s, that’s just the stress
talking, man. Now so far we have what
appears to me, to be a series of
victimless crimes–
DUDE
What about the toe?
WALTER
FORGET ABOUT THE FUCKING TOE!
A waitress enters.
WAITRESS
Excuse me sir, could you please keep your voices
down, this is a family restaurant.
WALTER
Oh, please dear! For your information:
the Supreme Court has roundly
rejected prior restraint!
DUDE
C’mon Walter, this is not a First Amendment
thing man.
WAITRESS
Sir, if you don’t calm down I’m going
to have to ask you to leave.
WALTER
Lady, I got buddies who died face-
down in the muck so that you and I could
enjoy this family restaurant!
THE DUDE GETS UP:
DUDE
All right, I’m out of here.
WALTER
Hey Dude, don’t go away man!
Com’on, this affects all of us man!
The Dude has left frame; Walter calls after him:
WALTER
Our basic freedoms!
He looks defiantly around.
WALTER
I’m staying. I’m Finishing my coffee.
I since found a still from the coffee shop scene and corrected the picture…
I think the photo is from just before the line: “That’s just the stress talking, dude.”
Roseanne would use Tom’s finger,,,the one the ring was on…LMAO
ha, perfect. And I’m still waiting to hear where she got the dam finger that she put in her chili.
well, I have all my digits, so I’m not too worried..LMAO
You should contact the Coen Brothers and pitch this idea. Seriously. Write up a rough script. Roseanne would be perfect for the part! Thanks so much for my big laugh of the day!
