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

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.

Well I'm sure he was very thirsty, and although you can quench a thirst with a cold Coke or iced tea..a cup of hot coffee is not going to do the job.
If he is a vegetarian as stated on another post..water would be the logical beverage to drink with his cheese sandwich.

I don't know why he spelled it out, and he seemed so angry when he said it. Maybe it was just to show how jumpy he was. As for why just a cheese sandwich, maybe he was a vegetarian, in the 70's there probably weren't that many vegetarian options on a roadside diner's menu. Probably just a salad, which would probably be wilted hamburger lettuce, and maybe cottage cheese.
As for the ketchup, it doesn't sound good to me either, but I used to know a girl that put ketchup on her french toast! -

I had a feeling Dennis Weaver might have been a vegetarian so I looked it up. Yes, he was. Starting in 1958.

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. -

spelling outs-o-u-r-d-o-u-g-hwould have been impressive.
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. -

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!
