dejeuner ex machina
from Pocket Money, 1976 (dir. Truffault)
the little girl refused to go to the restaurant with her parents, locked herself in after they left without her, she dropped the key into the fishbowl, got the bullhorn and announced to the apartment building that she was hungry, she was alone and locked in, and the neighbors sent her a basket of food, outraged that her parents would do such a thing.
