Jules and Vincent, deep in conversation:

Jules: That’s it, Man, I’m goin’. That’s all there is to it, I’m fuckin’ goin.

Vincent: You’ll dig it the most . . . but you know what the funniest thing about Asia 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: Well in China, you can buy a bottle of beer for about seven cents. And I don’t mean in one of those little mini bottles you buy for your girlfriend. They sell you a twenty two ounce bottle of beer, like at the corner store. Only costs about a half a buck at a club. You know what they call taking a girl out to a club in Bejing?

Jules: They don’t just call it a date?

Vincent: Naww, they got a 5,000 year old cultural belief system there, they wouldn’t know what the fuck a date was.

Jules: So what’d they call it?

Vincent: Engaged.

Jules: En-gaged . . . So what’d they call goin’ to lunch?

Vincent: Goin to lunch is goin to lunch, but they call it “Chu zhi dao.”

Jules: So what’d they call sex?

Vincent: I don’t know, I didn’t go to Thailand.
