A co-worker of mine and I placed a small wager last night on what Samuel L. Jackson (A.K.A. Jules) calls the "What?" kid in Pulp Fiction when he correctly answers the Quarter Pounder question. According to IMDB.com (see below), the kid's name is Brett, but I (having watched the movie waaaay too many times, just ask my wife), and everyone else who actually listened to the soundbite (again, see below) hear Brad.
From IMDB.com:
Jules: Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?
Brett: No.
Jules: Tell him, Vincent.
Vincent: Royale with cheese.
Jules: Royale with cheese. Do you know why they call it a Royale with cheese?
Brett: Because of the metric system?
Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett. You one smart motherfucker.
Actual soundbite from movie: click here
OK, so IMDB.com is pretty well respected and that seems like enough to win the bet, right? I say no. Take a listen to the actual clip from the movie. Having refused to pay off the bet based on the "script" as opposed to what I hear, I will give in if most people out there think I am wrong.
