How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Pulp Fiction.
Quote #1
YOLANDA: I love you, Pumpkin.
RINGO: I love you, Honey Bunny. (they look lovingly at each other) Everybody be cool! This is a robbery!
YOLANDA: Any of you f***in' pricks move and I'll execute every motherf***ing last one of you!
Nothing like bonding over an early morning coffee and a stick-up. Tarantino loves these kinds of juxtapositions of ordinary conversation and violent action. It's what gives these scenes some humor. You don't expect it.
Quote #2
BRETT: (to Jules) Look, what's your name? I got his name's Vincent, but what's yours?
JULES: My name's Pitt, and you ain't talkin' your ass outta this s***.
BRETT: I just want you to know how sorry we are about how f***ed up things got between us and Mr. Wallace. When we entered into this thing, we only had the best intentions…
(Jules takes out his gun and shoots Roger in the chest, knocking him out of his chair.)
We figured that that whoever was in the apartment was going to get shot, but the extended dialogue preceding the scene casts some doubt on that. Maybe if the kids say the right thing, Vincent and Jules will take the briefcase and leave, satisfied with just scaring them to death. It ends up being a particularly violent scene because of the suddenness and unexpected timing of the shooting. It gets worse. Jules continues to taunt and torture Brett before he and Vincent empty their guns at him. There was never gonna be no mercy.
Quote #3
ESMARELDA: What does it feel like?
BUTCH: What does what feel like?
ESMARELDA: Killing a man. Beating another man to death with your bare hands.
BUTCH: Are you some kinda weirdo?
ESMARELDA: No, it's a subject I have much interest in. You are the first person I ever met who has killed somebody. So, what was it like to kill a man?
[…]BUTCH: I couldn't tell ya. I didn't know he was dead 'til you told me he was dead. Now I know he's dead, do you wanna know how I feel about it? I don't feel the least little bit bad.
Butch's response to Floyd's death, although it was unintentional, is very cold-hearted. Butch has a plan and nothing's going to get in his way. This scene makes his later scenes with Fabienne very tense and very surprising.
