DIALOGE
JULES: Okay - so, tell me about the hash bars.
VINCENT: Ok - what do you want to know?
JULES: Well, hash is legal over there, right?
VINCENT: Yeah, it's legal but it ain't hundred percent legal, I mean, you just can't walk into a restaurant, roll a joint and start puffin' away. They want you to smoke in your home or certain designated places.
JULES: And those are the hash bars?
VINCENT: Yeah, it breaks down like this, ok, 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 legal to carry it, but ... but that doesn't matter, 'cause, get a load of this; all right, if you get stopped by a cop in Amsterdam, it's illegal for them to search you. I mean, that's a right the cops in Amsterdam don't have.
JULES: Oh, man, I'm going, that's all there is to it. I'm fuckin' goin'.
VINCENT: I know, baby, you'd dig it the most... But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is?
JULES: What?
VINCENT: It's the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they're a little different.
JULES: Example?
VINCENT: Alright, when you ... into a movie theatre in Amsterdam, you can buy beer. And I don't mean in a paper cup either. They give you a GLASS of beer! And in Paris you can buy beer at MacDonald's. And 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, 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: 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: LE BIG MAC! Ahhaha... What do they call a Whopper?
VINCENT: I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger King. But 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 it.
JULES: Uuccch!
