Why the heck did he spell out 'rye' to the waitress??

I wondered that, too. I caught this movie last night after having not seen it in about five years. I also wondered why he wanted ketchup. Didn't he order a cheese sandwich and what looked like a side of potato chips? I guess it's personal taste, but I don't see how ketchup fits into that. Sounds nasty.

I think he was so rattled he just ordered the easiest thing. Can't imagine him saying, "and I'd like the hamburger to be well-done, the lettuce crisp, and don't overtoast the bun!"
Did he order a beverage?
I don't think they demand you pay for a cheese sandwich after you started a fight like a crazy person. And the old guys outside who saw him hit the fence didn't seem to care that he did. -

I've always thought he spelt it out because he was just so distracted & nervous. He didn't expect he was making any sense & so clarified it.
He's taking the knife out of the Cheese!
Do you think he wants some cheese? -

Swiss Cheese on Rye is a tasty sandwich. I prefer butter over ketchup. How about the truck driver who eats his sandwhich with each bite he takes a sip of beer? lol

For what it's worth, I think ketchup is a perfectly natural thing to have with a cheese sandwich. I put a little puddle in the corner of my plate for dipping granted, that's a
grilled
cheese sandwich, and I tend to stick with cheddar or mozza for such a purpose. If we add ham, that's another story.
Here in Canada it'd be odd to be
without
ketchup under those circumstances. Hell, we even have ketchup with French toast (or "fried bread") and we've got maple syrup coming out our collective arse.
As for the practice of "washing down", I know there's a degenerative condition that tends to cause difficulty swallowing, and it can get to the point where the act becomes almost impossible without a drink. -

I don't think the reataurant manager was scared of Weaver one iota. Weaver didn't come across as a tough guy and he certainly was not physically intimidating in the least. He looked like a wimpy kind of guy, afraid of his own shadow.

I don't remember seeing him pay for his lunch
The cook (possibly the owner) asked him to leave after he got done trying to get the guy David basically attacked to calm down. One lost payment on a sandwich wasn't likely to break them.
I also wondered why he never attempted to pay for the fence that he had driven into.
The person's fence he ran into seemed more worried about David. It's also a fairly cheap type fence to put up - probably wouldn't cost enough to justify making him stick around and continue being weird.
