#2. Little Differences
JULES: Okay so, tell me again about the hash bars?
VINCENT: Ok, what do you wanna know?
JULES: Hash is legal there, right?
VINCENT: Yeah, it's legal, but it ain't a hundred percent legal. I mean, you just 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: 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 doesn't matter 'cause – get a load of this – if you get stopped by a cop in Amsterdam, it's illegal for them to search you. That's a right that cops in Amsterdam don't have.
JULES: Oh, man! I'm goin', 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. I mean, they got the same shit over there they got here, just there it's a little different.
JULES: Examples?
VINCENT: Allright. Well, you can walk into a movie theatre in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just, like, in no paper cup. I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at MacDonald's. Also, 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: Then 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. 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 doin’ it. They fuckin' drown 'em in that shit.
JULES: Uuccch!
