Feast of Love features many flavors of love: well seasoned by a life together, spicy with illicit pleasures, fresh in untested youth, simmering outside of societal conventions, even stale with the taste of desperation. But the film features no food—only coffee, from Bradley’s (Kinnear) coffee shop, Jitters.
Chloe: Hey, you need anybody to work here?
Oscar: Yes! Yeah. (to Bradley) I mean, if that’s all right with you.
Bradley: You have any experience with this kind of work?
Chloe: No.
Oscar: Neither did I when I started.
Bradley: Do you like coffee?
Chloe: Not much.
Oscar: She’ll learn to love it.
Bradley: But why here?
Chloe: I don’t know. I just kind of felt a harmonic convergence in this place.
Oscar: She’s right, you know? I felt the same kind of thing.
Bradley: Ah.

Harry Stevenson: A cool breeze, softball game, and two women falling in love.
Esther Stevenson: With each other?
Harry Stevenson: And one of them is married. Funny thing is, nobody noticed. Not even the husband, two feet away.
Esther Stevenson: I'm sorry I missed that.
Harry Stevenson: I imagine he will be, too.
