The Absent Minded Waiter is a short film starring Steve Martin, Teri Garr, and Buck Henry. A couple (Henry and Garr) have gone out to dinner at a fancy restaurant the husband claims has the world's most absent-minded waiter. Martin is said waiter. He has many mishaps, including pouring water before placing down the glasses, forcing the couple to repeat their order of "two martinis" three times, and subsequently bringing them six martinis. The film culminates with the wife becoming angry that she got dressed up, hired a babysitter and then was brought out to a restaurant with such amazingly bad service. Immediately afterwards, the waiter returns with their "change"--10,000 dollars' worth. Directed by Carl Gottlieb, who also played the Maitre D'. Hilarious by any measure.
