What is A Moment?
1.
A silent moment between two people (either gender, hetrosexual, homosexual, or bi-sexual) in which prolonged eye contact is made and initial feelings of attraction are felt. Often referred to simply as a "moment."
In the Mexican (2001, Dreamworks), Samantha (Julia Roberts) is in a diner with Winston(James Gandolfini), whom Samantha believes to be Leroy, and as they have a discussion, Winston gazes up and looks across the diner and makes prolonged eye-contact with another man, pauses, and then resumes his conversation with Samantha:
Samantha- What was that?
Winston-What?
Samantha-That. That moment you had.
Winston-What moment?
Samantha-Leroy, you just checked out that guy and had a moment.
Samantha-That was a moment.
Winston-I don't know if it was a moment.
Samantha-(Are you gay?)
Winston-- As in happy?
Samantha- As in homosexual.
