Paul Thomas Anderson‘s 1993 short film Cigarettes & Coffee was expanded into his 1996 feature debut Hard Eight, both starring Philip Baker Hall. Just above is a VHS rip, which explains the low quality.
Five people’s lives that are curiously intertwined happen to all be at a diner at the same time. An old man (Philip Baker Hall) gives advice to a young man (Kirk Baltz) about his cheating wife and best friend. A newlywed couple argues over the wife loosing money in Vegas playing craps. And a hit man buys some coffee and cigarettes and greets the man in his trunk.
