Pulp Fiction, dialogue between John Travolta and Samuel Jackson on small differences between the U.S. and Europe, citing the post title is taken from there.
Today in Rome around one and a quarter
I approach the stairs of the subway because I have to reach a person. I forgot the strike of public transport, though. I have to wait at least three quarters of an hour until the end of the strike, but then I do not find most of the times. Missed appointment. I shrug and call the person to cancel the commitment ... we used to, it does not matter ... We accept these setbacks with fatalism, as a necessary evil. Even if it does not strike, like the workers to get salary raise in this Italy of 2010?
me to get three young Japanese tourists, asking for information about the subway has closed the gates. I explain that the local transport today are "on strike" and then have to wait. They do not understand. At first wary of my English, then their ability to uptake, but after a while 'I understand: do not know the concept of strike! I was reminded that another year the Japanese transport minister has apologized for the previous year because all trains throughout Japan had achieved a delay of three minutes! With us, it would be Eden.
ask me how often there are no strikes here with us and when I say, to emit a type TZOH! " that must mean something like "seee ..." or "fuck."
Upon request, I explain what happens in all sectors, to pay legitimate claims, however.
"TZOH!"
I explain that, in addition, we have the trains are always late and no one has ever wanted to apologize for poor service.
"TZOH!"
That has to do with the title? The little differences.
... exactly.
