In this fifth installment exploring Pulp Fiction's treatment of redemption, we consider Jules' famous scene with Brett; he had asked Brett if he
knew why a Quarter Pounder with cheese was called a Royale with cheese in
France. Brett proved he was a smart guy, figuring out that a Quarter Pounder
with cheese can’t keep the same name in France… “because of the metric system”
(“Check out the big brain on Brett…you’re a smart mothe…”) It was on the basis
of his right answer that Jules could “lay his vengeance upon him” – because he
should have known better.
