Title: At the U.N. Cafeteria
Theme entries: things you say at a cafeteria breakfast, with country names punned in.

23A, Famished diner’s remark?: I am really HUNGARY today
40A, Request for sugar?: Please SWEDEN my coffee
68A, Request for a nuking?: KENYA reheat the sausage
93A, Diner’s complaint?: There’s GREECE on my eggs
117A, Request for seconds?: Bring me SAMOA that toast

Things I learned, with web links so you can learn them too:

15A, Ship to Colchis: ARGO
33A, Sibelius’s “___ Triste”: VALSE
34A, Everett of “Citizen Kane”: SLOANE
115A, ___ Ysidro: SAN
126A, “Algiers” star: BOYER
11D, Athena’s shield: AEGIS [technically it’s a loaner]
41D, Radio pioneer De Forest: LEE
70D, Harbor barge: HOY
93D, Upholstery fabric: TABARET
107D, Playwright Rice: ELMER
118D, Playing marble: MIB

Overall:
I messed up 5 squares in this one and got no letters outright wrong. I did leave three squares (the Y in HOY, the B in TABARET, and the B in MIB) blank and had to look them up before filling them in. This was a funny theme, but it was too easy. Only five theme entries, but they were long ones, and a whopping 11 things I had to look up afterwards.
