This cache is part of my Movie "Quotes" series. I love the movies and as such have filled my head with numerous famous and not so famous movie quotes, be they one-liners or conversations. Many quotes are so well known that you can name the movie, star, and in some cases relate a story around the quote.
Often I will be in a conversation with someone or a situation where an appropriate movie quote will pop into my head and I'll speak the lines. Friends who share the same movie affliction will instantly understand. Others will most often say, "that is really right for this situation." I have to beg off creation and cite my sources. So have fun with these - and enjoy the movies!!! I have edited some of the quotes to take out any offensive words.
One of my favorite directors is Quinten Tarantino. His 1994 classic, Pulp Fiction is a dark comedy with multiple storylines that intertwine with each other through the film. John Travolta (Vincent) and Samuel L. Jackson (Jules) portray two hit men for their mafia boss. Throughout the film, the verbal interaction and philosophy between these two actors is priceless as evidenced by their academy award nominations.
Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American dark comedic crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, who also co-wrote the screenplay along with Roger Avary. The film is known for its eclectic dialogue, ironic mix of humor and violence, nonlinear storyline, and a host of cinematic allusions and pop culture references. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture; Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay. It was also awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. A major critical and commercial success, it revitalized the career of its leading man, John Travolta, who received an Academy Award nomination, as did costars Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.
In an early scene of the movie, the following conversation between Travolta and Jackson sets the tone.
Vincent: Yeah, 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 stuff over there that we got here, but it's just...it's just, there it's a little different.
Jules: Example?
Vincent: All right. Well, you can walk into a movie theater 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 McDonald'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: Nah, man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the heck a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: What do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a "Royale with Cheese."
Jules: "Royale with Cheese."
Vincent: That's right.
Jules: What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "Le Big Mac."
Jules: [in mock French accent] "Le Big Mac." [laughs] What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I don't know, I didn't go in a Burger King.
