Tony is sitting at a cafe where a server has just given him his check. There is a slate sign to his right (our left) that has a spelling error. It says VEN with rouge as one of the choices. Obviously meant to be wine but spelled wrong.
The word wine in French is spelled VIN but if someone spelled it in French vay-eee-ehn, to an English speaker, they would likely write an E instead of I. Since a French I sounds like an English E. But they wrote it as vay-euh-ehn.
While average English speakers would not notice, it certainly is something that ruins the scene and reminds us that Hollywood doesn't care to be authentic anymore.
