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

Well, can you blame him? If you'd gone through a fright, or a nerve-wracking, harrowing experience, I think you'd be a little shaken and nervous too, and not exactly rational.

I love everything about the diner segment. I love the backwards camera-walk to the bathroom. I love his inner-dialog with himself about all that's happened thus far. I love the guy that stuffs his mouth full of sandwich bites and then sips his beer. And I always thought about Mann spelling out RYE for the simple reason someone else sort of mentioned - trying to seperate himself from simple townfolk - Mr Mann seemed a little arrogant.
I love this movie so much, and I swear I think about it and the whole diner scene whenever I eat a sandwich.

Too bad they didn't have that spicy green horseradish sauce back then.
I could see myself laughing at him saying "That's w-a-s-a-b-i!"
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

I'm surprised they even had rye in the diner. He didn't even eat it anyway, I didn't think he intended to.

Rye bread was more popular back in the day than it is now! But back east more, not so much in California ever!
Just another odd thing about this movie. Strange not to order a meat sandwich and on an unusual bread type too!

He's an arrogant ass that needed a good bitch slap. Too bad that big guy didn't beat him up more.

His life, and the current situation, were out of control. Being particular with things was a coping mechanism- a stab at stabilization.

Yeah! I guess! And a cheese sandwich on rye? OK? Doesn't sound all that good? Not even a grilled cheese sandwich, but a plain cold cheese sandwich?

I was wondering the same thing, but I think the poster who said rye and white can sometimes be confused may be right. Or he just could have been so nervous that he didn't really know what he was saying.

All that plus being a businessman, he probably has to do things more efficient with his diction and spelling. Probably a part of who he is

The "white" and "rye" sounding similar suggestion works, but I figure he may have thought his question sounded more like "Just gimme a cheese sandwich, Swiss cheese, alright?". It kinda sounds like it, especially when the waitress repeats it.
