12 As Vincent tells Jules, what is a quarter pounder called in Europe?
Answer: A Royale with Cheese

Quentin Tarantino is known for his quirky, un-related dialogue in his movies. Most of the time, the characters are discussing something completely unrelated to the story, which is seemingly random.

Vincent tells Jules that when he went to McDonalds in Paris, they called a quarter pounder a Royale with Cheese because of the metric system.

22 The movie contains three intertwined stories that all play together as a movie in a nonsequential order. "The Gold Watch" is the scene that takes place last. How does the audience know this?

Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) is a boxer that is supposed to throw his next fight in the fifth round. Butch was in his apartment's kitchen and Vince, a hit man, comes to kill him. Butch is waiting with a gun. Vince shows his face, and is shot a few times in the chest.

23 As Jules and Vincent drive to Brett's, what song is playing on the radio? (Please note that this song is heard elsewhere in the movie.)
Answer: Jungle Boogie

This scene continues the Tarantino tradition of source music. In "Reservoir Dogs", it was "Stuck in the Middle with You" as Blonde tortured Marvin. In "Jackie Brown", it was "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" in Jackie's apartment. And in "Kill Bill", the 5.6.7.8's provided the source cue.

This song was also played in the main titles, where the song abruptly changed due to a character listening to the radio. As this scene reveals, Jules and Vincent were the listeners. (Could they have been listening to K-BILLY? We'll never know...)
  From Quiz: Ultimate "Pulp" (Part II: Prologue, Act 2)

25 What passage of the Bible does Jules "preach" to his victims before he kills them?
Answer: Ezekiel 25:17

  From Quiz: "Pulp Fiction": The Facts

Man, you have to get up early if you're going to be a hitman!

27 Who played Jules Winnfield?
Answer: Samuel L. Jackson

A production assistant mistakenly bought Jheri curled wigs instead and Quentin and Jackson liked it so much, they decided to use them in the film.

31 In Butch's first scene, I told him he had ability. Who played me?
Answer: Ving Rhames

Rhames, born in 1959 in New York City, landed the role of Marsellus Wallace. Marsellus was seen near the beginning of the movie talking to Butch Coolidge about how he had ability, but that ability did not last. Marsellus informed Butch that his days of being a boxer were just about done and it was a fact of his life he had to soon accept. Marsellus then told Butch that the mafia business was filled with people who thought they would age like wine. After Marsellus got done talking to Butch, he showed him an envelope full of money and Butch took the money. Marsellus then gave Butch a piece of advice which had to do with boxing, as Butch was a boxer. He told him that anytime he felt a sting during fighting, it meant that pride was messing with him and to know that pride only hurt but never helped. Rhames guest starred on the TV shows "The District", "New York Undercover" and "Miami Vice".

32 What was the owner of the gun shop's name?

33 According to Jules (that ever-present voice of wisdom), what is Mia Wallace's claim to fame?
Answer: TV pilot

Jules explained a pilot to Vincent this way: "Well, the way they pick the shows on TV is, they make one show and that show's called a pilot. And they show that one show to the people who pick the shows, and on the strength of that one show, they decide if they want to make more shows. Some get accepted and become TV programs, and some don't, and become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became nothing."
