Dialogue Written by Quentin Tarantino
JULES
VINCENT
Okay what d`you want to know?
JULES
Hash is legal there, right?
VINCENT
Yeah, it`s legal, but is ain`t a hundred percent legal. I mean you can`t
walk into a restaurant, roll a joint, and start puffin` away. I mean they
want you to smoke in your home or certain designated places.
JULES
Those are hash bars?
VINCENT
Yeah, it breaks down like this, okay: it`s legal to buy it, it`s
legal to own
it and, if you`re the proprietor of a hash bar, it`s legal to sell it. It`s
to search you. I mean that`s a right that the cops in Amsterdam don`t have.
JULES
VINCENT
You`ll dig it the most. But you know what the funniest thing
about Europe is?
JULES
What?
VINCENT
It`s the little differences. I mean they got the same shit over
there, we got
here, but it`s just there`s a little difference.
JULES
Examples?
VINCENT
Alright, well you can walk into a movie theatre in Amsterdam
and buy a beer.
And I don`t mean in a paper cup. I`m talkin` `bout a glass of beer. And in
Paris, you can buy a beer at MacDonald`s. You know what they call a Quarter
Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
JULES
They don`t call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
VINCENT
No, man, they got the metric system there, they wouldn`t know what the fuck
a Quarter Pounder is.
JULES
What`d they call it?
VINCENT
They call it Royale with Cheese.
JULES (repeating)
Royale with Cheese. What`d they call a Big Mac?
VINCENT
Big Mac`s a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.
JULES (repeating)
Le Big Mac. What do they call a Whopper?
VINCENT
I dunno, I didn`t go into a Burger King. You know what they put on french
fries in Holland instead of ketchup?
JULES
What?
VINCENT
Mayonnaise.
JULES
Goddamn!
VINCENT
I seen `em do it, man. They fuckin` drown `em in this shit.
JULES
Uuccch!
