"Mmm-mmm. That IS a tasty burger!" ? Jules Winnfield
The Scene
Jules and Vincent visit Brett's apartment. Before things escalate, Jules helps himself to Brett's Big Kahuna Burger and Sprite. The tension builds as Jules philosophizes between bites, creating one of cinema's most iconic (and terrifying) burger moments.
