English term or phrase: "pass me the mustard"

En la película "the bucket list" los dos personajes están hablando dentro de un vehículo y uno de ellos le dice al otro "allelujah and pass me the mustard"

Aclaro que no estaban comiendo nada, quedé loco pues no se si es un modismo.
Alguna luz al respecto ya que en google no hay mucho al respecto?
Escuché mal?
Gracias

Pues muy bien.

Explanation:
O algo parecido. "Pues qué bien, y qué?"
Parece que al tipo no le interesaba mucho lo que el otro le decía, y que el aleluya es casi una ironía, no?

Explanation:
Yo lo entiendo como un manera burlona de restar trascendencia a lo que acaban de decirte. Aquí se suele usar la sal en lugar de la mostaza, pero se puede usar exactamente igual, precedido de una exclamación en tono exagerado (!No me digas!, ¡Oh, Dios mío!, etc.)... :-)
