Zed's Dead
BUY @ amazon
Fabienne: "Whose motorcycle is this?"
Butch: "It's a chopper, baby."
Fabienne: "Whose chopper is this?"
Butch: "It's Zed's."
Fabienne: "Who's Zed?"
Butch: "Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead."
That's right, Butch. Zed is very dead, and it's high time that you and your girlfriend GET out of town. Quickly! - 7Up 13Down 5
Mia's Overdose
Lance: "You're going to give her an injection of adrenaline directly to her heart. But she's got, uh, breastplate..."BUY @ amazon
[taps Mia's chest]
Lance: "So you gotta pierce through that. So what you have to do is, you have to bring the needle down in a stabbing motion."
[demonstrates]
Vincent: "I-I gotta stab her three times?"
Lance: "No, you don't gotta f**king stab her three times! You gotta stab her once, but it's gotta be hard enough to break through her breastplate into her heart, and then once you do that, you press down on the plunger."
Vincent: "What happens after that?"
Lance: "I'm kinda curious about that myself..."
What happens? They save Mia, of course. The scene where Mia has a long, long adrenaline-filled needle slammed into her chest is one of the most cringe-worthy moments in the film. - 8Up 13Down 6
Transitional Period
Jules: "Normally, both your asses would be dead as f**king fried chicken, but you happen to pull this s**t while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much s**t this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass."BUY @ amazon
Jules most definitely has anger issues - and he's seriously lacking in patience. He doesn't suffer fools well, now does he? - 9Up 12Down 6
Like Three Little Fonzies
Jules: "Now Yolanda, we're not gonna do anything stupid, are we?"BUY @ amazon
Yolanda: "You don't hurt him."
Jules: "Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? Come on Yolanda what's Fonzie like?"
Yolanda: "Cool?"
Jules: "What?"
Yolanda: "He's cool."
Jules: "Correctamundo. And that's what we're gonna be. We're gonna be cool. Now Ringo, I'm gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your gun, and sit your ass down. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three."
[Ringo sits down opposite Jules]
Yolanda: "All right, now you let him go."
Jules: "Yolanda, I thought you said you were gonna be cool. Now when you yell at me, it makes me nervous. And when I get nervous, I get scared. And when m**********rs get scared, that's when m**********rs accidentally get shot."
Yolanda: "You just know, you touch him, you die."
Jules: "Well, that seems to be the situation. But I don't want that. And you don't want that. And Ringo here *definitely* doesn't want that."
Who can hold in a snicker when Jules says "Correctamundo?" Brilliant dialogue is a highlight of 'Pulp Fiction,' from start to finish, and Samuel L. Jackson delivers like never before. - 10Up 15Down 11
Uncomfortable Silences
Mia: "Don't you hate that?"BUY @ amazon
Vincent: "What?"
Mia: "Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bulls**t in order to be comfortable?"
Vincent: "I don't know. That's a good question."
Mia: "That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence."
Beautifully acted scene by Travolta and Uma Thurman as Mia.
