Vincent Vega: In Paris, you can buy a beer in McDonald's. And you know what they call a "Quarter Pounder with Cheese" in Paris?

Jules Winnfield: What, they don't call it a "Quarter Pounder with Cheese?"

Vincent Vega: They got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the fuck a "Quarter Pounder" is.

Jules Winnfield: What do they call it?

Vincent Vega: They call it a "Royale with Cheese..."

Jules Winnfield: "Royale with Cheese..."

Vincent Vega: That's right!

Jules Winnfield: What do they call a "Big MAC."

Vincent Vega: A "Big MAC's" a "Big MAC" only they call it "Le Big MAC."

Jules Winnfield: "Le Big MAC!" [laughs]. What do they call a "Whopper."

Vincent Vega: I don't know I didn't go into Burger King. You know what they put on French fries in Holland instead of ketchup?

Jules Winnfield: What?

Vincent Vega: Mayonnaise.

Jules Winnfield: God damn [Cringes]!

Vincent Vega: I seen'em do it, man, they fuckin' drown'em in that shit!

There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you."

Now... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
