KYLE – You know what the funniest thing about Peru is?
JULES – What?
KYLE – It’s the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they’re a little different.
JULES – Examples?
KYLE – Well, in Arequipa, you can buy cola in a 3.120L bottle. Not 3.0L, becuase I guess that just isn’t enough. In Lima, you can buy beer at MacDonald’s. Also, you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Lima?
JULES – They don’t call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
KYLE – No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn’t know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
JULES – What’d they call it?
KYLE – Cuarto De Libra Con Queso.
JULES – Cuarto De Libra Con Queso. What’d they call a Big Mac?
KYLE – Big Mac’s a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.
JULES – What do they call a Whopper?
KYLE – Whopper’s a Whopper but on the bill it’s called Brava.
JULES – goddamn!
(Note to readers: you can obtain Heinz ketchup at Burger King, but only in sizes fit for a new born baby.)
umm… i love peru and all. But just so you know: a Libra is a pound.
A Cuarto de libra con Queso literally means : quarter pound with cheese.
Thanks for the translation (I was aware of the literal translation). Why this is supposed to be this funny is that people who don’t know Spanish think “Hey, it’s sorta like in Pulp Fiction and the Royale with Cheese”.
