Royale with Cheese

In this iconic scene, we are introduced to Travolta and Jackson’s characters, Vincent and Jules, as they're driving to an unknown location and talking about burgers. Vincent goes on for a few minutes about the differences in Europe when it comes to food. From him I learned that movie theaters in Paris serve beer, people in Holland dip their fries in mayonnaise instead of ketchup, and that a Big Mac is called Le Big Mac in Paris. Most importantly, though, they also call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese a Royale with Cheese, which Vincent so aptly blames on the metric system. It was a great look at the moments of normalcy between two hit men.
