The Italian Job (2003)

Directed by: F. Gary Gray
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Donald Sutherland, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Edward Norton, Seth Green, Mos Def
Factual error: The group is plunged into the icy water for at least several minutes wearing nothing but light jackets yet no one seems to be suffering from hypothermia in the slightest when they show up on shore. (00:21:30)
Trivia: When Mark Wahlberg drove his own Mini nothing happened, but when he was sitting next to Charlize Theron, he got very ill and had to get out of the car.
Question: When Charlie and Steve have their discussion about the gold and Charlie punches Steve in the face, Charlie takes several bills out of his pocket, puts them on the table, then leaves. What does he put money on the table for? It's not like he broke anything with his punch, and surely not to pay for Stella's meal, and especially not for Steve's meal either.

Answer: Actually, it almost certainly is to pay for Stella's meal. It's a point of principle - they don't owe Steve anything, so they won't even let him pay for the meal that she ate. He's the one who owes them, big time - paying for the meal makes the point that there's no debt of any kind going the other way.
