1 INT. COFFEE SHOP – MORNING 1

jp
A normal Denny's, Spires-like coffee shop in Los Angeles.
It's about 9:00 in the morning. While the place isn't jammed,
there's a healthy number of people drinking coffee, munching
on bacon and eating eggs.
ku
Two of these people are a YOUNG MAN and a YOUNG WOMAN. The
Young Man has a slight working-class English accent and, like
his fellow countryman, smokes cigarettes like they're going
out of style.
m
It is impossible to tell where the Young Woman is from or how
old she is; everything she does contradicts something she
did. The boy and girl sit in a booth. Their dialogue is to be
said in a rapid- pace "HIS GIRL FRIDAY" fashion.
ar
YOUNG MAN
No, forget it, it's too risky. I'm
through doin' that shit.
YOUNG WOMAN
You always say that, the same thing
every time: never again, I'm
through, too dangerous.
YOUNG MAN
I know that's what I always say. I'm
always right too, but –
YOUNG WOMAN
– but you forget about it in a day
or two –
YOUNG MAN
– yeah, well, the days of me
forgittin' are over, and the days of

me rememberin' have just begun.

YOUNG WOMAN
When you go on like this, you know
what you sound like?
YOUNG MAN
I sound like a sensible fucking man,
is what I sound like.
YOUNG WOMAN
You sound like a duck.
(imitates a duck)
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, quack...
YOUNG MAN
Well take heart, 'cause you're never
jp
gonna hafta hear it again. Because
since I'm never gonna do it again,
you're never gonna hafta hear me
quack about how I'm never gonna do
it again.
ku
YOUNG WOMAN
After tonight.
The boy and girl laugh, their laughter putting a pause in
there, back and forth.
m
YOUNG MAN
(with a smile)
Correct. I got all tonight to quack.
ar
A WAITRESS comes by with a pot of coffee.
WAITRESS
Can I get anybody anymore coffee?
YOUNG WOMAN
Oh yes, thank you.
The Waitress pours the Young Woman's coffee. The Young Man
lights up another cigarette.
YOUNG MAN
I'm doin' fine.
The Waitress leaves. The Young Man takes a drag off of his
smoke. The Young Woman pours a ton of cream and sugar into
her coffee.
The Young Man goes right back into it.

Pulp_Fiction 3.
YOUNG MAN
I mean the way it is now, you're
takin' the same fuckin' risk as when
you rob a bank. You take more of a
risk. Banks are easier! Federal
banks aren't supposed to stop you
anyway, during a robbery. They're
insured, why should they care? You
don't even need a gun in a federal
bank. I heard about this guy, walked
into a federal bank with a portable
phone, handed the phone to the
teller, the guy on the other end of
the phone said: "We got this guy's
little girl, and if you don't give
him all your money, we're gonna kill
'er."
jp
YOUNG WOMAN
Did it work?
YOUNG MAN
Fuckin' A it worked, that's what I'm
ku
talkin' about! Knucklehead walks in
a bank with a telephone, not a
pistol, not a shotgun, but a fuckin'
phone, cleans the place out, and
they don't lift a fuckin' finger.
m
YOUNG WOMAN
Did they hurt the little girl?
YOUNG MAN
ar
I don't know. There probably never

was a little girl – the point of the
story isn't the little girl. The
point of the story is they robbed
the bank with a telephone.
YOUNG WOMAN
You wanna rob banks?
YOUNG MAN
I'm not sayin' I wanna rob banks,
I'm just illustrating that if we
did, it would be easier than what we
been doin'.
YOUNG WOMAN
So you don't want to be a bank
robber?
YOUNG MAN

Pulp_Fiction 4.
Naw, all those guys are goin' down

the same road, either dead or
servin' twenty.
YOUNG WOMAN
And no more liquor stores?
YOUNG MAN
What have we been talking about?
Yeah, no- more-liquor-stores.
Besides, it ain't the giggle it usta
be. Too many foreigners own liquor
stores. Vietnamese, Koreans, they
can't fuckin' speak English. You
tell 'em: "Empty out the register,"
and they don't know what it fuckin'
means. They make it too personal. We
keep on, one of those gook
jp
motherfuckers' gonna make us kill
'em.
YOUNG WOMAN
I'm not gonna kill anybody.
ku
YOUNG MAN
I don't wanna kill anybody either.
But they'll probably put us in a
situation where it's us of them. And
if it's not the gooks, it these old
m
Jews who've owned the store for
fifteen fuckin' generations. Ya got
Grandpa Irving sittin' behind the
counter with a fuckin' Magnum. Try
ar
walkin' into one of those stores

with nothin' but a telephone, see
how far it gets you. Fuck it, forget
it, we're out of it.
YOUNG WOMAN
Well, what else is there, day jobs?
YOUNG MAN
(laughing)
Not this life.
YOUNG WOMAN
Well what then?
He calls to the Waitress.
YOUNG MAN
Garcon! Coffee!
Then looks to his girl.

Pulp_Fiction 5.
YOUNG MAN
This place.
The Waitress comes by, pouring him some more.
WAITRESS
(snotty)
"Garcon" means boy.
She splits.
YOUNG WOMAN
Here? It's a coffee shop.
YOUNG MAN
What's wrong with that? People never
rob restaurants, why not? Bars,
liquor stores, gas stations, you get
jp
your head blown off stickin' up one
of them. Restaurants, on the other
hand, you catch with their pants
down. They're not expecting to get
robbed, or not as expecting.
ku
YOUNG WOMAN
(taking to idea)
I bet in places like this you
couldcut down on the hero factor.
m
YOUNG MAN Correct. Just like banks, these places are insured.
The managers don't give a fuck, they're just tryin' to get ya
out the door before you start pluggin' diners. Waitresses,
forget it, they ain't takin' a bullet for the register.
ar
Busboys, some wetback gettin' paid a dollar fifty a hour

gonna really give a fuck you're stealin' from the owner.
Customers are sittin' there with food in their mouths, they
don't know what's goin' on. One minute they're havin' a
Denver omelette, next minute somebody's stickin' a gun in
their face.
The Young Woman visibly takes in the idea. The Young Man
continues in a low voice.
YOUNG MAN
See, I got the idea last liquor
store we stuck up. 'Member all those
customers kept comin' in?
YOUNG WOMAN
Yeah.
YOUNG MAN
They you got the idea to take
everybody's wallet.

Pulp_Fiction 6.
YOUNG WOMAN
Uh-huh.
YOUNG MAN
That was a good idea.
YOUNG WOMAN
Thanks.
YOUNG MAN
We made more from the wallets then
we did the register.
YOUNG WOMAN
Yes we did.
YOUNG MAN
A lot of people go to restaurants.
jp
YOUNG WOMAN
A lot of wallets.
YOUNG MAN
ku
Pretty smart, huh?
The Young Woman scans the restaurant with this new

information. She sees all the PATRONS eating, lost in
conversations. The tires WAITRESS, taking orders. The BUSBOYS
going through the motions,
m
collecting dishes. The MANAGER complaining to the COOK about

something. A smiles breaks out on the Young Woman's face.
ar
YOUNG WOMAN
Pretty smart.
(into it)
I'm ready, let's go, right here,
right now.
YOUNG MAN
Remember, same as before, you're
crowd control, I handle the
employees.
YOUNG WOMAN
Got it.
They both take out their .32-caliber pistols and lay them on
the table. He looks at her and she back at him.
YOUNG WOMAN
I love you, Pumpkin.
YOUNG MAN

Pulp_Fiction 7.
I love you, Honey Bunny.
And with that, Pumpkin and Honey Bunny grab their weapons,
stand up and rob the restaurant. Pumpkin's robbery persona is
that of the in-control professional. Honey Bunny's is that of
the psychopathic, hair-triggered, loose cannon.
PUMPKIN
(yelling to all)
Everybody be cool this is a robbery!
HONEY BUNNY
Any of you fuckin' pricks move and
I'll execute every one of you
motherfuckers! Got that?

2 INT. '74 CHEVY - MOVING – MORNING 2
An old gas guzzling, dirty, white 1974 Chevy Nova BARRELS
down a homeless-ridden street in Hollywood. In the front seat
are two young fellas – one white, one black – both wearing
cheap black suits with thin black ties under long green
m
dusters. Their names are VINCENT VEGA (white) and JULES
WINNFIELD (black). Jules is behind the wheel.
JULES
ar
– Okay now, tell me about the hash

bars?
VINCENT
What so you want to know?
JULES
Well, hash is legal there, right?
VINCENT
Yeah, it's legal, but is ain't a
hundred percent legal. I mean you
can't walk into a restaurant, roll a
joint, and start puffin' away.
You're only supposed to smoke in
your home or certain designated
places.
JULES
Those are hash bars?

Pulp_Fiction 8.
VINCENT
Yeah, it breaks down like this: it's
legal to buy it, it's legal to own
it and, if you're the proprietor of
a hash bar, it's legal to sell it.
It's legal to carry it, which
doesn't really matter 'cause – get a
load of this – if the cops stop you,
it's illegal for this to search you.
Searching you is a right that the
cops in Amsterdam don't have.
JULES
That did it, man – I'm fuckin'
goin', that's all there is to it.
VINCENT
You'll dig it the most. But you know
jp
what the funniest thing about Europe
is?
JULES
What?
ku
VINCENT
It's the little differences. A lotta
the same shit we got here, they got
there, but there they're a little
different.
m
JULES
Examples?
ar
VINCENT
Well, in Amsterdam, you can buy beer
in a movie theatre. And I don't mean
in a paper cup either. They give you
a glass of beer, like in a bar. In
Paris, you can buy beer at
MacDonald's. Also, you know what
they call a Quarter Pounder with
Cheese in Paris?
JULES
They don't call it a Quarter Pounder
with Cheese?
VINCENT
No, they got the metric system
there, they wouldn't know what the
fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
JULES
What'd they call it?

Pulp_Fiction 9.
VINCENT
Royale with Cheese.
JULES
(repeating)
Royale with Cheese. What'd they call
a Big Mac?
VINCENT
Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call
it Le Big Mac.
JULES
Le Big Mac. What do they call a
Whopper?
VINCENT
I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger
jp
King. But you know what they put on
french fries in Holland instead of
ketchup?
JULES
ku
What?
VINCENT
Mayonnaise.
JULES
m
Goddamn!
VINCENT
I seen 'em do it. And I don't mean a
ar
little bit on the side of the plate,

they fuckin' drown 'em in it.
JULES
Uuccch!

3 INT. CHEVY - TRUNK – MORNING 3

The trunk of the Chevy OPENS UP, Jules and Vincent reach
inside, taking out two .45 Automatics, loading and cocking
them.
JULES
We should have shotguns for this
kind of deal.
VINCENT
How many up there?

Pulp_Fiction 10.
JULES
Three or four.
VINCENT
Counting our guy?
JULES
I'm not sure.
VINCENT
So there could be five guys up
there?
JULES
It's possible.
VINCENT
We should have fuckin' shotguns.
jp
They CLOSE the trunk.

4 EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING COURTYARD – MORNING 4
Vincent and Jules, their long matching overcoats practically
dragging on the ground, walk through the courtyard of what
looks like a hacienda-style Hollywood apartment building.
m
We TRACK alongside.
VINCENT
ar
What's her name?
JULES
Mia.
VINCENT
How did Marsellus and her meet?
JULES
I dunno, however people meet people.
She usta be an actress.
VINCENT
She ever do anything I woulda saw?
JULES
I think her biggest deal was she
starred in a pilot.
VINCENT
What's a pilot?

Pulp_Fiction 11.
JULES
Well, you know the shows on TV?
VINCENT
I don't watch TV.
JULES
Yes, but you're aware that there's
an invention called television, and
on that invention they show shows?
VINCENT
Yeah.
JULES
Well, the way they pick the shows on
TV is they make one show, and that
show's called a pilot. And they show
jp
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
ku
some don't, and become nothing. She
starred in one of the ones that
became nothing.
They enter the apartment building.

m
5 INT. RECEPTION AREA - APARTMENT BUILDING – MORNING 5
Vincent and Jules walk through the reception area and wait
ar
for the elevator.

JULES
You remember Antwan Rockamora? Half-
black, half-Samoan, usta call him
Tony Rocky Horror.
VINCENT
Yeah maybe, fat right?
JULES
I wouldn't go so far as to call the
brother fat. He's got a weight
problem. What's the nigger gonna do,
he's Samoan.
VINCENT
I think I know who you mean, what
about him?
JULES

Pulp_Fiction 12.
Well, Marsellus fucked his ass up

good. And word around the campfire,
it was on account of Marsellus
Wallace's wife.
The elevator arrives, the men step inside.
6 INT. ELEVATOR – MORNING 6
VINCENT
What'd he do, fuck her?
JULES
No no no no no no no, nothin' that
bad.
VINCENT
jp
Well what then?
JULES
He gave her a foot massage.
ku
VINCENT
A foot massage?
Jules nods his head: "Yes."

VINCENT
m
That's all?
Jules nods his head: "Yes."

ar
VINCENT
What did Marsellus do?
JULES
Sent a couple of guys over to his
place. They took him out on the
patio of his apartment, threw his
ass over the balcony. Nigger fell
four stories. They had this garden
at the bottom, enclosed in glass,
like one of them greenhouses –
nigger fell through that. Since
then, he's kinda developed a speech
impediment.
The elevator doors open, Jules and Vincent exit.

VINCENT
That's a damn shame.

Pulp_Fiction 13.
7 INT. APARTMENT BUILDING HALLWAY – MORNING 7

STEADICAM in front of Jules and Vincent as they make a
beeline down the hall.
VINCENT
Still I hafta say, play with
matches, ya get burned.
JULES
Whaddya mean?
VINCENT
You don't be givin' Marsellus
Wallace's new bride a foot massage.
JULES
You don't think he overreacted?
jp
VINCENT
Antwan probably didn't expect
Marsellus to react like he did, but
he had to expect a reaction.
ku
JULES
It was a foot massage, a foot
massage is nothing, I give my mother
a foot massage.
m
VINCENT
It's laying hands on Marsellus
Wallace's new wife in a familiar
way. Is it as bad as eatin' her out
ar
– no, but you're in the same fuckin'

ballpark.
Jules stops Vincent.
JULES
Whoa... whoa... whoa... stop right
there. Eatin' a bitch out, and
givin' a bitch a foot massage ain't
even the same fuckin' thing.
VINCENT
Not the same thing, the same
ballpark.
JULES
It ain't no ballpark either. Look
maybe your method of massage differs
from mine, but touchin' his lady's
feet, and stickin' your tongue in
her holyiest of holyies, ain't the

Pulp_Fiction 14.
same ballpark, ain't the same

league, ain't even the same fuckin'
sport. Foot massages don't mean
shit.
VINCENT
Have you ever given a foot massage?
JULES
Don't be tellin' me about foot
massages – I'm the foot fuckin'
master.
VINCENT
Given a lot of 'em?
JULES
Shit yeah. I got my technique down
jp
man, I don't tickle or nothin'.
VINCENT
Have you ever given a guy a foot
massage?
ku
Jules looks at him a long moment – he's been set up.
JULES
Fuck you.
m
He starts walking down the hall.Vincent, smiling, walks a
little bit behind.
VINCENT
ar
How many?
JULES
Fuck you.
VINCENT
Would you give me a foot massage –
I'm kinda tired.
JULES
Man, you best back off, I'm gittin'
pissed – this is the door.
The two men stand in front of the door numbered "49."They
whisper.
JULES
What time is it?
VINCENT
(checking his watch)

Pulp_Fiction 15.
Seven-twenty-two in the morning.

JULES
It ain't quite time, let's hang
back.
They move a little away from the door, facing each other,
still whispering.
JULES
Look, just because I wouldn't give
no man a foot massage, don't make it
right for Marsellus to throw Antwan
off a building into a glass-
motherfuckin-house, fuckin' up the
way the nigger talks. That ain't
right, man. Motherfucker do that to
me, he better paralyze my ass,
jp
'cause I'd kill'a motherfucker.
VINCENT
I'm not sayin' he was right, but
you're sayin' a foot massage don't
ku
mean nothing, and I'm sayin' it
does. I've given a million ladies a
million foot massages and they all
meant somethin'. We act like they
don't, but they do. That's what's so
fuckin' cool about 'em. This sensual
m
thing's goin' on that nobody's
talkin about, but you know it and
she knows it, fuckin'Marsellus knew
it, and Antwan shoulda known fuckin'
ar
better. That's his fuckin' wife,

man. He ain't gonna have a sense of
humor about that shit.
JULES
That's an interesting point, but
let's get into character.
VINCENT
What's her name again?
JULES
Mia. Why you so interested in big
man's wife?
VINCENT
Well, Marsellus is leavin' for
Florida and when he's gone, he wants
me to take care of Mia.
JULES

Pulp_Fiction 16.
Take care of her?

Making a gun out of his finger and placing it to his head.
VINCENT
Not that! Take her out. Show her a
good time. Don't let her get lonely.
JULES
You're gonna be takin'MIA Wallace
out on a date?
VINCENT
It ain't a date. It's like when you
and your buddy's wife go to a movie
or somethin'. It's just... you
know... good company.
jp
Jules just looks at him.
VINCENT
It's not a date.
ku
Jules just looks at him.
8 INT. APARTMENT - ROOM 49 – MORNING 8

THREE YOUNG GUYS, obviously in over their heads, sit at a
m
table with hamburgers, french fries and soda pops laid out.
One of them flips the LOUD BOLT on the door, opening it to
REVEAL Jules and Vincent in the hallway.
ar
JULES
Hey kids.
The two men stroll inside.
The three young caught-off-guard Guys are:
MARVIN, the black young man, who open the door, will, as the
scene progresses, back into the corner.
ROGER, a young blond-haired surfer kid with a "Flock of
Seagulls" haircut, who has yet to say a word, sits at the
table with a big sloppy hamburger in his hand.
BRETT, a white, preppy-looking sort with a blow-dry haircut.
Vincent and Jules take in the place, with their hands in
their pockets. Jules is the one who does the talking.
JULES

Pulp_Fiction 17.
How you boys doin'?
No answer.
JULES
(to Brett)
Am I trippin', or did I just ask you
a question.
BRETT
We're doin' okay.
As Jules and Brett talk, Vincent moves behind the young Guys.
JULES
Do you know who we are?
Brett shakes his head: "No."
jp
JULES
We're associates of your business
partner Marsellus Wallace, you
remember your business partner
ku
dont'ya?
No answer.
JULES
(to Brett)
m
Now I'm gonna take a wild guess
here: you're Brett, right?
BRETT
ar
I'm Brett.
JULES
I thought so. Well, you remember
your business partner Marsellus
Wallace, dont'ya Brett?
BRETT
I remember him.
JULES
Good for you. Looks like me and
Vincent caught you at breakfast,
sorry 'bout that. What'cha eatin'?
BRETT
Hamburgers.
JULES
Hamburgers. The cornerstone of any
nutritious breakfast. What kinda

Pulp_Fiction 18.
hamburgers?
BRETT
Cheeseburgers.
JULES
No, I mean where did you get'em?
MacDonald's, Wendy's, Jack-in-the-
Box, where?
BRETT
Big Kahuna Burger.
JULES
Big Kahuna Burger. That's that
Hawaiian burger joint. I heard they
got some tasty burgers. I ain't
never had one myself, how are they?
jp
BRETT
They're good.
JULES
ku
Mind if I try one of yours?
BRETT
No.
JULES
m
Yours is this one, right?
BRETT
Yeah.
ar
Jules grabs the burger and take a bite of it.

JULES
Uuummmm, that's a tasty burger.
(to Vincent)
Vince, you ever try a Big Kahuna
Burger?
VINCENT
No.
Jules holds out the Big Kahuna.
JULES
You wanna bite, they're real good.
VINCENT
I ain't hungry.
JULES

Pulp_Fiction 19.
Well, if you like hamburgers give

'em a try sometime. Me, I can't
usually eat 'em 'cause my
girlfriend's a vegetarian. Which
more or less makes me a vegetarian,
but I sure love the taste of a good
burger.
(to Brett)
You know what they call a Quarter
Pounder with Cheese in France?
BRETT
No.
JULES
Tell 'em, Vincent.
VINCENT
jp
Royale with Cheese.
JULES
Royale with Cheese, you know why
they call it that?
ku
BRETT
Because of the metric system?
JULES
Check out the big brain on Brett.
m
You'a smart motherfucker, that's
right. The metric system.
(he points to a fast food
drink cup)
ar
What's in this?
BRETT
Sprite.
JULES
Sprite, good, mind if I have some of
your tasty beverage to wash this
down with?
BRETT
Sure.
Jules grabs the cup and takes a sip.
JULES
Uuuuummmm, hit's the spot!
(to Roger)
You, Flock of Seagulls, you know
what we're here for?

Pulp_Fiction 20.
Roger nods his head: "Yes."

JULES
Then why don't you tell my boy here
Vince, where you got the shit hid.
MARVIN
It's under the be –
JULES
– I don't remember askin' you a
goddamn thing.
(to Roger)
You were sayin'?
ROGER
It's under the bed.
jp
Vincent moves to the bed, reaches underneath it, pulling out
a black snap briefcase.
VINCENT
Got it.
ku
Vincent flips the two locks, opening the case. We can't see
what's inside, but a small glow emits from the case. Vincent
just stares at it, transfixed.
JULES
m
We happy?
No answer from the transfixed Vincent.
ar
JULES
Vincent!
Vincent looks up at Jules.
JULES
We happy?
Closing the case.

VINCENT
We're happy.
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 shit.

Pulp_Fiction 21.
BRETT
I just want you to know how sorry we
are about how fucked up things got
between us and Mr. Wallace. When we
entered into this thing, we only had
the best intentions –
As Brett talks, Jules takes out his gun and SHOOTS Roger
three times in the chest, BLOWING him out of his chair.
Vince smiles to himself. Jules has got style.
Brett has just shit his pants. He's not crying or whimpering,
but he's so full of fear, it's as if his body is imploding.
JULES
(to Brett)
Oh, I'm sorry. Did that break your
jp
concentration? I didn't mean to do
that. Please, continue. I believe
you were saying something about
"best intentions."
ku
Brett can't say a word.
JULES
Whats a matter? Oh, you were through
anyway. Well, let me retort. Would
you describe for me what Marsellus
m
Wallace looks like?
Brett still can't speak.
ar
Jules SNAPS, SAVAGELY TIPPING the card table over, removing

the only barrier between himself and Brett. Brett now sits in
a lone chair before Jules like a political prisoner in front
of an interrogator.
JULES
What country you from!
BRETT
(petrified)
What?
JULES
"What" ain't no country I know! Do
they speak English in "What?"
BRETT
(near heart attack)
What?
JULES

Pulp_Fiction 22.
English-motherfucker-can-you-speak-
it?
BRETT
Yes.
JULES
Then you understand what I'm sayin'?
BRETT
Yes.
JULES
Now describe what Marsellus Wallace
looks like!
BRETT
(out of fear)
jp
What?
Jules takes his .45 and PRESSES the barrel HARD in Brett's
cheek.
ku
JULES
Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What"
again! I dare ya, I double dare ya
motherfucker, say "What" one more
goddamn time!
m
Brett is regressing on the spot.
JULES
Now describe to me what Marsellus
ar
Wallace looks like!

Brett does his best.
BRETT
Well he's... he's... black –
JULES
– go on!
BRETT
... and he's... he's... bald –
JULES
– does he look like a bitch?!
BRETT
(without thinking)
What?

Pulp_Fiction 23.
Jules' eyes go to Vincent, Vincent smirks, Jules rolls his

eyes and SHOOT Brett in the shoulder.
Brett SCREAMS, breaking into a SHAKING/TREMBLING SPASM in the
chair.
JULES
Does-he-look-like-a-bitch?!
BRETT
(in agony)
No.
JULES
Then why did you try to fuck 'im
like a bitch?!
BRETT
jp
(in spasm)
I didn't.
Now in a lower voice.
ku
JULES
Yes ya did Brett. Ya tried ta fuck
'im. You ever read the Bible, Brett?
BRETT
(in spasm)
m
Yes.
JULES
There's a passage I got memorized,
ar
seems appropriate for this

situation: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path
of the righteous man is beset on all
sides by the inequities of the
selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
Blessed is he who, in the name of
charity and good will, shepherds the
weak through the valley of darkness,
for he is truly his brother's keeper
and the finder of lost children. And
I will strike down upon thee with
great vengeance and furious anger
those who attempt to poison and
destroy my brothers. And you will
know my name is the Lord when I lay
my vengeance upon you."

FADE IN:
MEDIUM SHOT – BUTCH COOLIDGE

We FADE UP on BUTCH COOLIDGE, a white, 26-year-old
prizefighter.Butch sits at a table wearing a red and blue
high school athletic jacket. Talking to him OFF SCREEN is
everybody's boss MARSELLUS WALLACE. The black man sounds like
a cross between a gangster and a king.
MARSELLUS (O.S.)
I think you're gonna find – when all
this shit is over and done – I think
you're gonna find yourself one
smilin' motherfucker. Thing is
Butch, right now you got ability.
jp
But painful as it may be, ability
don't last. Now that's a hard
motherfuckin' fact of life, but it's
a fact of life your ass is gonna
hafta git realistic about. This
ku
business is filled to the brim with
unrealistic motherfuckers who
thought their ass aged like wine.
Besides, even if you went all the
way, what would you be? Feather-
weight champion of the world. Who
m
gives a shit? I doubt you can even
get a credit card based on that.
A hand lays an envelope full of money on the table in front
ar
of Butch. Butch picks it up.
MARSELLUS (O.S.)
Now the night of the fight, you may
fell a slight sting, that's pride
fuckin' wit ya. Fuck pride! Pride
only hurts, it never helps. Fight
through that shit. 'Cause a year
from now, when you're kickin' it in
the Caribbean you're gonna say,
"Marsellus Wallace was right."
BUTCH
I got no problem with that.
MARSELLUS (O.S.)
In the fifth, your ass goes down.
Butch nods his head: "yes."
MARSELLUS (O.S.)

Dave isn't really English, he's a young black man from
Baldwin Park, who has run a few clubs for Marsellus,
including Sally LeRoy's.

The spacious club is empty this time of day. English Dave
crosses to the bar, and Vince follows.
VINCENT
Where's the big man?
ENGLISH DAVE
He's over there, finishing up some
business.
VINCENT'S POV: Butch shakes hands with a huge figure with his
back to us. The huge figure is the infamous and as of yet
still UNSEEN Marsellus.

Pulp_Fiction 26.
ENGLISH DAVE (O.S.)

Hand back for a second or two, and
when you see the white boy leave, go
on over. In the meanwhile, can I
make you an espresso?
VINCENT
How 'bout a cup of just plain ol'
American?
ENGLISH DAVE
Comin' up. I hear you're taking Mia
out tomorrow?
VINCENT
At Marsellus' request.
ENGLISH DAVE

Not yet.

Not a goddamn thing.

man's fuckin' wife. I'm gonna sit

across a table, chew my food with my
mouth closed, laugh at her jokes and
that's all I'm gonna do.
English Dave puts Vince's coffee in front of him.

My name's Paul, and this is between

Butch bellies up to the bar next to Vincent, drinking his cup
of "Plain ol' American."

BUTCH
Non.
While Butch waits for his smokes, Vincent just sips his
coffee, staring at him. Butch looks over at him.
BUTCH
Lookin' at somethin', friend?
VINCENT
I ain't your friend, palooka.
Butch does a slow turn toward Vincent.
BUTCH
What was that?
VINCENT

I think ya heard me just fine,
punchy.
Butch turns his body to Vincent, when...

MARSELLUS (O.S.)
Vincent Vega has entered the
building, git your ass over here!
Vincent walks forward OUT OF FRAME, never giving Butch

another glance. We DOLLY INTO CU on Butch, left alone in the
m
FRAME, looking like he's ready to go into the manners-
teaching business.
BUTCH'S POV: Vincent hugging and kissing the obscured figure
ar
that is Marsellus.
Butch makes the wise decision that is this asshole's a friend
of Marsellus, he better let it go – for now.
ENGLISH DAVE (O.S.)
Pack of Red Apples, dollar-forty.
Butch is snapped out of his ass-kicking thoughts. He pays
English Dave and walks out of the SHOT.

great book on body piercing.
Jody, Vincent and a young woman named TRUDI sit at the
kitchen table of a suburban house in Echo Park. Even though
Vince is at the same table, he's not included in the
conversation.
TRUDI
You know how they use that gun when
they pierce your ears? They don't
use that when they pierce your
nipples, do they?
JODY
Forget that gun. That gun goes
against the entire idea behind
jp
piercing. All of my piercing,
sixteen places on my body, every one
of 'em done with a needle. Five in
each ear. One through the nipple on
my left breast. One through my right
ku
nostril. One through my left
eyebrow. One through my lip. One in
my clit. And I wear a stud in my
tongue.
Vince has been letting this conversation go through one ear
m
and out the other, until that last remark.
VINCENT

ar
Excuse me, sorry to interrupt. I'm

curious, why would you get a stud in
your tongue?
Jody looks at him and says as if it were the most obvious

thing in the world.
JODY
It's a sex thing. It helps fellatio.
That thought never occurred to Vincent, but he can't deny it
makes sense. Jody continues talking to Trudi, leaving Vincent

28 EXT. JACKRABBIT SLIM'S – NIGHT 28

ar
In the past six years, 50's diners have sprung up all over
L.A., giving Thai restaurants a run for their money. They're
all basically the same. Decor out of an "Archie" comic book,
Golden Oldies constantly emanating from a bubbly Wurlitzer,
saucy waitresses in bobby socks, menus with items like the
Fats Domino Cheeseburger, or the Wolfman Jack Omelette, and
over prices that pay for all this bullshit.
But then there's JACKRABBIT SLIM'S, the big mama of 50's
diners. Either the best or the worst, depending on your point
of view.
Vincent's Malibu pulls up to the restaurant. A big sign with
a neon figure of a cartoon surly cool cat jackrabbit in a red
windbreaker towers over the establishment. Underneath the
cartoon is the name: JACKRABBIT SLIM'S. Underneath that is
the slogan:"Next best thing to a time machine."
VINCENT
What the fuck is this place?

Pulp_Fiction 35.

This is Jackrabbit Slim's. An Elvis
man should love it.

Come on, Mia, let's go get a steak.

29 INT. JACKRABBIT SLIM'S – NIGHT 29
Compared to the interior, the exterior was that of a quaint
English pub. Posters from 50's A.I.P. movies are all over the
wall ("ROCK ALL NIGHT," "HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL," "ATTACK
ku
OF THE CRAB MONSTER," and "MACHINE GUN KELLY"). The booths
that the patrons sit in are made out of the cut up bodies of
50s cars.
In the middle of the restaurant in a dance floor. A big sign
on the wall states, "No shoes allowed."So wannabe beboppers
m
(actually Melrose-types), do the twist in their socks or
barefeet.
The picture windows don't look out the street, but instead, B
ar
& W movies of 50's street scenes play behind them. The

WAITRESSES and WAITERS are made up as replicas of 50's icons:
MARILYN MONROE, ZORRO, JAMES DEAN, DONNA REED, MARTIN and
LEWIS, and THE PHILIP MORRIS MIDGET, wait on tables wearing
appropriate costumes.
Vincent and Mia study the menu in a booth made out of a red
'59 Edsel. BUDDY HOLLY (their waiter), comes over, sporting a
big button on his chest that says:"Hi I'm Buddy, pleasing you
please me."
BUDDY
Hi I'm Buddy, what can I get'cha?
VINCENT
I'll have the Douglas Sirk steak.
BUDDY
How d'ya want it, burnt to a crisp,
or bloody as hell?

Pulp_Fiction 36.
VINCENT
Bloody as hell. And to drink, a
vanilla coke.
BUDDY
(How 'bout you, Peggy
Sue?)
MIA
I'll have the Durwood Kirby burger –
bloody – and a five-dollar shake.
BUDDY
How d'ya want that shake, Martin and
Lewis, or Amos and Andy?
MIA
Martin and Lewis.

shake?

It costs five dollars?

BUDDY
Yep.
VINCENT
You don't put bourbon in it or
anything?
BUDDY
Nope.
VINCENT
Just checking.
Buddy exits.
Vincent takes a look around the place. The YUPPIES are
dancing, the DINERS are biting into big, juicy hamburgers,
and the icons are playing their parts. Marilyn is squealing,
The Midget is paging Philip Morris, Donna Reed is making her

Pulp_Fiction 37.
customers drink their milk, and Dean and Jerry are acting a
fool.
MIA
Whaddya think?
VINCENT
It's like a wax museum with a pulse
rate.
Vincent takes out his pouch of tobacco and begins rolling
himself a smoke.
After a second of watching him –
MIA
What are you doing?
jp
VINCENT
Rollin' a smoke.
MIA
Here?
ku
VINCENT
It's just tobacco.
MIA
Oh. Well in that case, will you roll
m
me one, cowboy?
As he finishes licking it –
ar
VINCENT
You can have his one, cowgirl.
He hands her the rolled smoke. She takes it, putting it to

her lips. Out of nowhere appears a Zippo lighter in Vincent's
hand. He lights it.
MIA
Thanks.
VINCENT
Think nothing of it.
He begins rolling one for himself.
As this time, the SOUND of a subway car fills the diner,
making everything SHAKE and RATTLE. Marilyn Monroe runs to a
square vent in the floor. An imaginary subway train BLOWS the
skirt of her white dress around her ears as she lets out a
squeal. The entire restaurant applauds.

Pulp_Fiction 38.
Back to Mia and Vincent.
MIA
Marsellus said you just got back
from Amsterdam.
VINCENT
Sure did. I heard you did a pilot.
MIA
That was my fifteen minutes.
VINCENT
What was it?
MIA
It was show about a team of female
secret agents called "Fox Force
jp
Five."
VINCENT
What?
ku
MIA
"Fox Force Five."Fox, as in we're a
bunch of foxy chicks. Force, as in
we're a force to be reckoned with.
Five, as in there's one... two ...
three... four... five of us. There
m
was a blonde one, Sommerset O'Neal
from that show "Baton Rouge," she
was the leader. A Japanese one, a
black one, a French one and a
ar
brunette one, me. We all had special

skills. Sommerset had a photographic
memory, the Japanese fox was a kung
fu master, the black girl was a
demolition expert, the French fox'
specialty was sex...
VINCENT
What was your specialty?
MIA
Knives. The character I played,
Raven McCoy, her background was she
was raised by circus performers. So
she grew up doing a knife act.
According to the show, she was the
deadliest woman in the world with a
knife. But because she grew up in a
circus, she was also something of an
acrobat. She could do illusions, she
was a trapeze artist – when you're

Pulp_Fiction 39.
keeping the world safe from evil,

you never know when being a trapeze
artist's gonna come in handy. And
she knew a zillion old jokes her
grandfather, an old vaudevillian,
taught her. If we woulda got picked
up, they woulda worked in a gimmick
where every episode I woulda told
and ol joke.
VINCENT
Do you remember any of the jokes?
MIA
Well I only got the chance to say
one, 'cause we only did one show.
VINCENT
jp
Tell me.
MIA
No. It's really corny.
ku
VINCENT
C'mon, don't be that way.
MIA
No. You won't like it and I'll be
embarrassed.
m
VINCENT
You told it in front of fifty
million people and you can't tell it
ar
to me? I promise I won't laugh.

MIA
(laughing)
That's what I'm afraid of.
VINCENT
That's not what I meant and you know
it.
MIA
You're quite the silver tongue
devil, aren't you?
VINCENT
I meant I wouldn't laugh at you.
MIA
That's not what you said Vince. Well
now I'm definitely not gonna tell

Pulp_Fiction 40.
ya, 'cause it's been built up too

much.
VINCENT
What a gyp.
Buddy comes back with the drinks. Mia wraps her lips around
the straw of her shake.
MIA
Yummy!
VINCENT
Can I have a sip of that? I'd like
to know what a five-dollar shake
tastes like.
MIA
jp
Be my guest.
She slides the shake over to him.
MIA

You can use my straw, I don't have
kooties.
Vincent smiles.

Kooties I can handle.

He takes a sip.
VINCENT
Goddamn! That's a pretty fuckin'
good milk shake.
MIA
Told ya.
VINCENT
I don't know if it's worth five
dollars, but it's pretty fuckin'
good.
He slides the shake back.
Then the first of an uncomfortable silence happens.
MIA
Don't you hate that?

Pulp_Fiction 41.
VINCENT
What?
MIA
Uncomfortable silences. Why do we
feel it's necessary to yak about
bullshit in order to be comfortable?
VINCENT
I don't know.
MIA
That's when you know you found
somebody special. When you can just
shit the fuck up for a minute, and
comfortably share silence.

I don't think we're there yet. But
don't feel bad, we just met each
other.

Don't you love it when you go to the
bathroom and you come back to find
your food waiting for you?

Pulp_Fiction 42.
VINCENT
We're lucky we got it at all. Buddy

MIA
ar
Did ya think of something to say?

VINCENT
Actually, there's something I've
wanted to ask you about, but you
seem like a nice person, and I
didn't want to offend you.
MIA
Oooohhhh, this doesn't sound like
mindless, boring, getting-to-know-
you chit-chat. This sounds like you
actually have something to say.
VINCENT
Only if you promise not to get
offended.
MIA
You can't promise something like
that. I have no idea what you're

Pulp_Fiction 43.
gonna ask. You could ask me what

you're gonna ask me, and my natural
response could be to be offended.
Then, through no fault of my own, I
woulda broken my promise.
VINCENT
Then let's just forget it.
MIA
That is an impossibility. Trying to
forget anything as intriguing as
this would be an exercise in
futility.
VINCENT
Is that a fact?

Mia nods her head: "Yes."

Besides, it's more exciting when you

MIA
m
Who's Antwan?
VINCENT
Tony Rocky Horror.
ar
MIA
He fell out of a window.
VINCENT
That's one way to say it. Another
way is, he was thrown out. Another
was is, he was thrown out by
Marsellus. And even another way is,
he was thrown out of a window by
Marsellus because of you.
MIA
Is that a fact?
VINCENT
No it's not, it's just what I heard.
MIA
Who told you this?

Pulp_Fiction 44.

They.

MIA
Well don't by shyVincent, what
exactly did they say?
Vincent is slow to answer.

Let me help you Bashful, did it
involve the F-word?
VINCENT
No. They just said Rocky Horror gave

you a foot massage.
MIA
And...?
VINCENT

No and, that's it.
MIA
You heard Marsellus threw Rocky
ar
Horror out of a four-story window

because he massaged my feet?
VINCENT
Yeah.
MIA
And you believed that?
VINCENT
At the time I was told, it seemed
reasonable.
MIA
Marsellus throwing Tony out of a
four- story window for giving me a
foot massage seemed reasonable?
VINCENT
No, it seemed excessive. But that
doesn't mean it didn't happen. I

Pulp_Fiction 45.
heard Marsellus is very protective

of you.
MIA
A husband being protective of his
wife is one thing. A husband almost
killing another man for touching his
wife's feet is something else.
VINCENT
But did it happen?
MIA
The only thing Antwan ever touched
of mine was my hand, when he shook
it. I met Anwan once – at my wedding
– then never again. The truth is,
nobody knows why Marsellus tossed
jp
Tony Rocky Horror out of that window
except Marsellus and Tony Rocky

Mia and Vincent dance to Chuck Berry's "YOU NEVER CAN TELL".
They make hand movements as they dance.
32 INT. MARSELLUS WALLACE'S HOME – NIGHT 32

The front door FLINGS open, and Mia and Vincent dance tango-
style into the house, singing a cappella the song from the
previous scene. They finish their little dance, laughing.
Then...
jp
The two just stand face to face looking at each other.
VINCENT
Was than an uncomfortable silence?
ku
MIA
I don't know what that was.
(PAUSE)
Music and drinks!
m
Mia moves away to attend to both. Vincent hangs up his

overcoat on a big bronze coat rack in the alcove.
ar
VINCENT
I'm gonna take a piss.
MIA
That was a little bit more
information than I needed to know,
but for right ahead.
Vincent shuffles off to the john.
Mia moves to her CD player, thumbs through a stack of CDs and
selects one: k.d. lang. The speakers BLAST OUT a high energy
country number, which Mia plays air-guitar to. She dances her
way around the room and finds herself by Vincent's overcoat
hanging on the rack. She touches its sleeve. It feels good.
Her hand hoes in its pocket and pulls out his tobacco pouch.
Like a little girl playing cowboy, she spreads the tobacco on
some rolling paper. Imitating what he did earlier, licks the
paper and rolls it into a pretty good cigarette. Maybe a
little too fat, but not bad for a first try. Mia thinks so

Pulp_Fiction 48.
anyway. Her hand reaches back in the pocket and pulls out his
Zippo lighter. She SLAPS the lighter against her leg, trying
to light it fancy-style like Vince did. What do you know, she
did it! Mia's one happy clam. She triumphantly brings the fat
flame up to her fat smoke, lighting it up, then LOUDLY SNAPS
the Zippo closed.
The Mia-made cigarette is brought up to her lips, and she
takes a long, cool drag. Her hand slides the Zippo back in
the overcoat pocket. But wait, her fingers touch something
else. Those fingers bring out a plastic bag with white powder
inside, the madman that Vincent bought earlier from Lance.
Wearing a big smile, Mia brings the bag of heroin up to her
face.
MIA
(like you would say
Bingo!)
jp
Disco! Vince, you little cola nut,
you've been holding out on me.

33 INT. BATHROOM (MARSELLUS WALLACE'S HOUSE) – NIGHT 33
Vincent stands at the sink, washing his hands, talking to
himself in the mirror.
m
VINCENT
One drink and leave. Don't be rude,
but drink your drink quickly, say
goodbye, walk out the door, get in
ar
your car, and go down the road.

LIVING ROOM
Mia has the unbeknownst-to-her heroin cut up into big lines
on her glass top coffee table. Taking her trusty hundred
dollar bill like a human Dust-Buster, she quickly snorts the
fat line.
CLOSEUP – MIA
Her head JERKS back. Her hands go to her nose (which feels
like it's on fucking fire), something is terribly wrong.
Then... the rush hits...
BATHROOM
Vincent dries his hands on a towel while he continues his
dialogue with the mirror.
VINCENT

Pulp_Fiction 49.
... It's a moral test of yourself,

whether or not you can maintain
loyalty. Because when people are
loyal to each other, that's very
meaningful.
LIVING ROOM
Mia is on all fours trying to crawl to the bathroom, but it's
like she's trying to crawl with the bones removed from her
knees. Blood begins to drip from Mia's nose. Then her stomach
gets into the act and she VOMITS.
BATHROOM
Vince continues.
VINCENT
jp
So you're gonna go out there, drink
your drink, say "Goodnight, I've had
a very lovely evening," go home, and
jack off. And that's all you're
gonna do.
ku
Now that he's given himself a little pep talk, Vincent's
ready for whatever's waiting for him on the other side of
that door. So he goes through it.
m
33A INT. LIVING ROOM 33A
We follow behind Vincent as he walks from the bathroom to the
living room, where he finds Mia lying on the floor like a rag
ar
doll. She's twisted on her back. Blood and puke are down her
front. And her face is contorted. Not out of the tightness of
pain, but just the opposite, the muscles in her face are so
relaxed, she lies still with her mouth wide open. Slack-
jawed.
VINCENT
Jesus Christ!
Vincent moves like greased lightning to Mia's fallen body.

Bending down where she lays, he puts his fingers on her neck
to check her pulse. She slightly stirs.
Mia is aware of Vincent over her, speaking to her.
VINCENT
(sounding weird)
Mia! MIA! What the hell happened?
But she's unable to communicate Mia makes a few lost mumbles,
but they're not distinctive enough to be called words.

Pulp_Fiction 50.
Vincent props her eyelids open and sees the story.

VINCENT
(to himself)
I'll be a son-of-a-bitch.
(to Mia)
Mia! MIA! What did you take? Answer
me honey, what did you take?
Mia is incapable of answering. He SLAPS her face hard.

Vincent SPRINGS up and RUNS to his overcoat, hanging on the
rack. He goes through the pockets FRANTICALLY. It's gone.
Vincent makes a beeline to Mia. We follow.
VINCENT
(yelling to Mia)
Okay honey, we're getting you on
jp
your feet.
He reaches her and hoists the dead weight up in his arms.
VINCENT
ku
We're on our feet now, and now we're
gonna talk out to the car. Here we
go, watch us walk.
We follow behind as he hurriedly walks the practically-
unconscious Mia through the house and out the front door.

Vincent takes a cellular phone out of his pocket. He punches
a number.

Pulp_Fiction 51.
At this late hour, LANCE has transformed from a bon vivant

drug dealer to a bathrobe creature.
He sits in a big comfy chair, ratty blue gym pants, a worn-
out but comfortable tee-shirt that has, written on it, "TAFT,
CALIFORNIA", and a moth-ridden terry cloth robe. In his hand
is a bowl of Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries. In front of
him on the coffee table is a jug of milk, the box the Cap'n
Crunch with Crunch Berries came out of, and a hash pipe in an
ashtray.
On the big-screen TV in front of the table is the Three
Stooges, and they're getting married.

Hello, do you know how late it is?
You're not supposed to be callin' me

the phone to his ear. WE CUT BACK AND FORTH during the
conversation.

Lance, this is Vincent, I'm in big
fuckin' trouble man, I'm on my way

VINCENT
Too late, I'm already here.
At that moment insideLance's house, WE HEARVINCENT's Malibu
coming up the street. Lance hangs up the phone, goes to his
curtains and
YANKS the cord. The curtains open with a WHOOSH in time to
see Vincent's Malibu DRIVING UP on his front lawn and
CRASHING into his house. The window Lance is looking out of
SHATTERS from the impact.
JODY (O.S.)
What the hell was that?
Lance CHARGES from the window, out the door to his front
lawn.

38 INT. LANCE'S HOUSE – NIGHT 38

WE START in Lance's and Jody's bedroom.

Pulp_Fiction 54.
Jody, in bed, throws off the covers and stands up. She's
wearing a long tee-shirt with a picture of Fred Flintstone on
it.
We follow HANDHELD behind her as she opens the door, walking
through the hall into the living room.
JODY
It's only one-thirty in the goddamn
mornin'! What the fuck's goin' on
out here?
As she walks in the living room, she sees Vincent and Lance
standing over Mia, who's lying on the floor in the middle of
the room.
From here on in, everything in this scene is frantic, like a
DOCUMENTARY in an emergency ward, with the big difference
jp
here being nobody knows what the fuck they're doing.
JODY
Who's she?

Lance looks up at Jody.
LANCE
Get that black box in the bedroom I
have with the adrenalin shot.

JODY
What's wrong with her?
VINCENT
ar
She's ODing on us.

JODY
Well get her the hell outta here!
LANCE ANDVINCENT

Get the fuckin' shot!
JODY
Don't yell and me!
She angrily turns and disappears into the bedroom looking for
the shot.
WE MOVE into the room with the two men.
VINCENT

You two are a match made in heaven.

Pulp_Fiction 55.
LANCE
Look, just keep talkin' to her,
okay? While she's gettin' the shot,
I gotta get a medical book.
VINCENT
What do you need a medical book for?
LANCE
To tell me how to do it. I've never
given an adrenalin shot before.
VINCENT
You've had that thing for six years
and you never used it?
LANCE
I never had to use it. I don't go

talkin' to her.
WE FOLLOW Lance as he runs out of the living room into a...
39 INT. SPARE ROOM 39

With a bunch of junk in it. He frantically starts scanning
the junk for the book he's looking for, repeating the words,
"Come on," endlessly.
From OFF SCREEN we hear:
VINCENT (O.S.)
Hurry up man! We're losin' her!
LANCE
(calling back)
I'm looking as fast as I can!
Lance continues his frenzied search.

Pulp_Fiction 56.
WE HEAR Jody in the living room now as she talks to Vincent.

JODY (O.S.)
What's he lookin' for?
VINCENT (O.S.)
I dunno, some medical book.
Jody calls to LANCE.
JODY (O.S.)
What are you lookin' for?
LANCE
My black medical book!
As he continues searching, flipping and knocking over shit,
Jody appears in the doorway.
jp
JODY
Whata re you looking for?
LANCE
ku
My black fuckin' medical book. It's
like a text book they give to
nurses.
JODY
I never saw a medical book.
m
LANCE
Trust me, I have one.
ar
JODY
Well if it's that important, why
didn't you keep it with the shot?
Lance spins toward her.
LANCE
I don't know! Stop bothering me!
JODY
While you're lookin' for it, that
girl's gonna die on our carpet.
You're never gonna find it in all
this shit. For six months now, I've
been telling you to clean this room
–
VINCENT (O.S.)
– get your ass in here, fuck the
book!

Pulp_Fiction 57.
Lance angrily knocks over a pile of shit and leaves the SHOT
heading for the living room.
39A INT. LIVING ROOM 39A

Vincent is bent over Mia, talking softly to her, when Lance
reenters the room.
VINCENT
Quit fuckin' around man and give her
the shot!
Lance bends down by the black case brought in by Jody. He
opens it and begins preparing the needle for injection.
LANCE
While I'm doing this, take her shirt
jp
off and find her heart.
Vince rips her blouse open.
Jody stumbles back in the room, hanging back from the action.
ku
VINCENT
Does it have to be exact?
LANCE
Yeah, it has to be exact! I'm giving
m
her an injection in the heart, so I
gotta exactly hit her in the heart.
VINCENT
ar
Well, I don't know exactly where her

heart is, I think it's here.
Vince points to Mia's right breast.Lance glances over and
nods.
LANCE
That's it.
As Lance readies the injection, Vincent looks up at Jody.
VINCENT
I need a big fat magic marker, got
one?
JODY
What?
VINCENT
I need a big fat magic marker, any
felt pen'll do, but a magic marker

Pulp_Fiction 58.
would be great.
JODY
Hold on.
Jody runs to the desk, opens the top drawer and, in her
enthusiasm, she pulls the drawer out of the desk, the
contents of which (bills, papers, pens) spill to the floor.
The injection is ready. Lance hands Vincent the needle.
LANCE
It's ready, I'll tell you what to
do.
VINCENT
You're gonna give her the shot.
jp
LANCE
No, you're gonna give her the shot.
VINCENT
I've never does this before.
ku
LANCE
I've never done this before either,
and I ain't starting now. You
brought 'er here, that means you
give her the shot. The day I bring
m
an ODing bitch to your place, then I
gotta give her the shot.
Jody hurriedly joins them in the huddle, a big fat red magic
ar
marker in her hand.

JODY
Got it.
Vincent grabs the magic marker out of Jody's hand and makes a
big red dot in MIA's body where her heart is.
VINCENT
Okay, what do I do?
LANCE
Well, you're giving her an injection
of adrenalin straight to her heart.
But she's got a breast plate in
front of her heart, so you gotta
pierce through that. So what you
gotta do is bring the needle down in
a stabbing motion.

Pulp_Fiction 59.
Lance demonstrates a stabbing motion, which looks like "The

Shape" killing its victims in "HALLOWEEN".
VINCENT
I gotta stab her?
LANCE
If you want the needle to pierce
through to her heart, you gotta stab
her hard. Then once you do, push
down on the plunger.
VINCENT
What happens after that?
LANCE
I'm curious about that myself.
jp
VINCENT
This ain't a fuckin' joke man!
LANCE
She's supposed to come out of it
ku
like –
(snaps his fingers)
– that.
Vincent lifts the needle up above his head in a stabbing
motion. He looks down on Mia.
m
Mia is fading fast. Soon nothing will help her.

Vincent's eyes narrow, ready to do this.
ar
VINCENT
Count to three.
Lance, on this knees right beside Vincent, does not know what
to expect.
LANCE
One...
RED DOT on Mia's body.
Needle raised ready to strike.
LANCE (O.S.)
... two...
Jody's face is alive with anticipation.
NEEDLE in that air, poised like a rattler ready to strike.

Pulp_Fiction 60.
LANCE (O.S.)
... three!
The needle leaves frame, THRUSTING down hard.
Vincent brings the needle down hard, STABBING Mia in the
chest.
Mia's head if JOLTED from the impact.
The syringe plunger is pushed down, PUMPING the adrenalin out
through the needle.
Mia's eyes POP WIDE OPEN and she lets out a HELLISH cry of
the banshee. She BOLTS UP in a sitting position, needle stuck
in her chest – SCREAMING.
Vincent, Lance and Jody, who were in sitting positions in
jp
front of Mia, JUMP BACK, scared to death.
Mia's scream runs out. She slowly starts taking breaths of
air.
ku
The other three, now scooted halfway across the room, shaken
to their bones, look to see if she's alright.
LANCE
If you're okay, say something.
m
Mia, still breathing, not looking up at them, says in a
relatively normal voice.

Vincent and Lance collapse on their backs, exhausted and
shaking from how close to death Mia came.

We're in the living room of a modest two bedroom house in
Alhambra, California, in the year 1972. BUTCH'S MOTHER,

Next to her is a man dressed in the uniform of an American
Air Force officer. The CAMERA is the perspective of a five-
year old boy.

Hello, little man. Boy I sure heard

a bunch about you. See, I was a good
friend of your Daddy's. We were in
that Hanoi pit of hell over five
years together. Hopefully, you'll
never have to experience this
yourself, but when two men are in a
situation like me and your Daddy
were, for as long as we were, you
take on certain responsibilities of
the other. If it had been me who had
not made it, Major Coolidge would be
talkin' right now to my son Jim. But
the way it worked out is I'm talkin'
to you, Butch. I got somethin' for
ya.
The Captain pulls a gold wrist watch out of his pocket.
CAPT. KOONS

Pulp_Fiction 64.
This watch I got here was first

purchased by your great-granddaddy.
It was bought during the First World
War in a little general store in
Knoxville, Tennessee. It was bought
by private Doughboy Ernie Coolidge
the day he set sail for Paris. It
was your great-granddaddy's war
watch, made by the first company to
ever make wrist watches. You see, up
until then, people just carried
pocket watches. Your great-
granddaddy wore that watch every day
he was in the war. Then when he had
done his duty, he went home to your
great- grandmother, took the watch
off his wrist and put it in an ol'
coffee can. And in that can it
jp
stayed 'til your grandfather Dane
Coolidge was called upon by his
country to go overseas and fight the
Germans once again. This time they
called it World War Two. Your great-
ku
granddaddy gave it to your granddad
for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's
luck wasn't as good as his old
man's. Your granddad was a
Marine and he was killed with all
the other Marines at the battle of
m
Wake Island. Your granddad was
facing death and he knew it. None of
those boys had any illusions about
ever leavin' that island alive. So
ar
three days before the Japanese took

the island, your 22-year old
grandfather asked a gunner on an Air
Force transport named Winocki, a man
he had never met before in his life,
to deliver to his infant son, who he
had never seen in the flesh, his
gold watch. Three days later, your
grandfather was dead. But Winocki
kept his word. After the war was
over, he paid a visit to your
grandmother, delivering to your
infant father, his Dad's gold watch.
This watch. This watch was on your
Daddy's wrist when he was shot down
over Hanoi. He was captured and put
in a Vietnamese prison camp. Now he
knew if the gooks ever saw the watch
it's be confiscated. The way your
Daddy looked at it, that watch was
your birthright. And he'd be damned

Pulp_Fiction 65.
if and slopeheads were gonna put

their greasy yella hands on his
boy's birthright. So he hid it in
the one place he knew he could hide
somethin'. His ass. Five long years,
he wore this watch up his ass. Then
when he died of disentary, he gave
me the watch. I hid with
uncomfortable hunk of metal up my
ass for two years. Then, after seven
years, I was sent home to my family.
And now, little man, I give the
watch to you.
Capt. Koons hands the watch to Butch. A little hand comes
into FRAME to accept it.

DISSOLVE TO:
44 INT. TAXI (PARKED/RAINING) – NIGHT 44

Inside the taxi, behind the wheel, is a female cabbie named
ESMARELDA VILLALOBOS. A young woman, with Spanish looks, sits
parked, drinking a steaming hot cup of coffee out of a white
styrofoam cup.
The Sportscasters continue their coverage.
Do you feel this ring death tragedy
will have an effect on the world of
boxing?
Oh Dan, a tragedy like this can't
help but shake the world of boxing

to its very foundation. But it's of

paramount importance that during the
sad weeks ahead, the eyes of the
W.B.A. remain firmly fixed on the –
CLICK –
Esmarelda shuts off the radio.
She takes a sip of coffee, then hears a NOISE behind her in
the alley. She sticks her head out of the car door to see:
45 EXT. BOXING AUDITORIUM - RAINING – NIGHT 45

A window about three stories high opens on the auditorium-
side of the alley. A gym bag is tossed out into a garbage
dumpster below the window. Then, Butch Coolidge, still
dressed in boxing trunks, shoes, gloves and yellow robe,
jp
LEAPS to the dumpster below.
ESMARELDA'S REACTION takes in the strangeness of this sight.
Gym bag in hand, Butch CLIMBS out of the dumpster and RUNS to
ku
the taxi. Before he climbs in, he takes off his robe and
throws it to the ground.
46 INT. TAXI (PARKED / RAINING) – NIGHT 46

m
Butch, soaking wet, naked except for trunks, shoes and
gloves, HOPS in the backseat, SLAMMING the door.
Esmarelda, staring straight ahead, talks to Butch through the
ar
rearview mirror:
ESMARELDA
(Spanish accent)
Are you the man I was supposed to
pick up?
BUTCH
If you're the cab I called, I'm the
guy you're supposed to pick up.
ESMARELDA
Where to?
BUTCH
Outta here.
The ignition key is TWISTED. The engine ROARS to life.
The meter is FLIPPED on.

Pulp_Fiction 68.
Esmarelda's bare foot STOMPS on the gas pedal.
47 EXT. BOXING AUDITORIUM - RAINING – NIGHT 47

The cab WHIPS out of the alley, FISH-TAILING on the wet
pavement in front of the auditorium at a rapid pace.
48 INT. WILLIS LOCKER ROOM - AUDITORIUM – NIGHT 48

Locker room door opens, Enghlish Dave fights his way through
the pandemonium which is going on outside in the hall,
shutting the door on the madness. Once inside, English Dave
takes time to adjust his suit and tie. Mia is standing by the
door. She sees Vincent with English Dave.
VINCENT
jp
Mia. How you doin'?
MIA
Great. I never thanked you for the
dinner.
ku
In the room, black boxer FLOYD RAY WILLIS lies on a table –
dead. His face looks like he went dunking for bees. His
TRAINER is on his knees, head on Floyd's chest, crying over
the body.
m
The huge figure that is Marsellus Wallace stands at the
table, hand on the Trainer's shoulder, lending emotional
support. We still do not see Marsellus clearly, only that he
is big.
ar
Mia sits in a chair at the far end of the room.

Marsellus looks up, sees English Dave and walks over to him.
MARSELLUS (O.S.)
What'cha got?
ENGLISH DAVE
He booked.
MARSELLUS (O.S.)
I'm prepared to scour the earth for
this motherfucker. If Butch goes to
Indo China, I want a nigger hidin'
in a bowl of rice, ready to pop a
cap in his ass.
ENGLISH DAVE
I'll take care of it.

Pulp_Fiction 69.
49 INT. CAB (MOVING / RAINING) – NIGHT 49

Butch gets one of his boxing gloves off.
Esmeralda watches in the rearview mirror.
He tries to roll down one of the backseat windows, but can't
find the roll bar.
BUTCH
Hey, how do I open the window back
here?
ESMERALDA
I have to do it.
She presses a button and the back window moves down. Butch
tosses his boxing glove out the window, then starts untying
jp
the other one.
Esmeralda can't keep quiet anymore.
ESMERALDA
ku
Hey, mister?
BUTCH
(still working on the
glove)
What?
m
ESMERALDA
You were in that fight? The fight on
the radio – you're the fighter?
ar
As he tosses his other glove out the window.

BUTCH
Whatever gave you that idea?
ESMERALDA
No c'mon, you're him, I know you're
him, tell me you're him.
BUTCH
(drying himself with a gym
towel)
I'm him.
ESMARELDA
You killed the other boxing man.
BUTCH
He's dead?

Pulp_Fiction 70.
ESMARELDA
The radio said he was dead.
He finished wiping himself down.
BUTCH
(to himself)
Sorry 'bout that, Floyd.
He tosses the towel out the window.
Silence, as Butch digs in his bag for a t-shirt.
ESMERALDA
What does it feel like?
BUTCH
(finds his shirt)
jp
What does what feel like?
ESMARELDA
Killing a man. Beating another man
to death with your bare hands.
ku
Butch pulls on his tee-shirt.
BUTCH
Are you some kinda weirdo?
m
ESMARELDA
No, it's a subject I have much
interest in. You are the first
person I ever met who has killed
ar
somebody. So, what was it like to

kill a man?
BUTCH
Tell ya what, you give me one of
them cigarettes, I'll give you an
answer.
Esmarelda bounces in her seat with excitment.
ESMARELDA
Deal!
Butch leans forward. Esmarelda, keeping her eyes on the road,
passes a cigarette back to him. He takes it. Then, still not
looking behind her, she brings up her hand, a lit match in
it. Butch lights his smoke, then blows out the match.
He takes a long drag.
BUTCH

Pulp_Fiction 71.
So...
He looks at her license.
BUTCH
... Esmarelda Villalobos – is that
Mexican?
ESMARELDA
The name is Spanish, but I'm
Columbian.
BUTCH
It's a very pretty name.
ESMARELDA
It mean "Esmarelda of the wolves."
jp
BUTCH
That's one hell of a name you got
there, sister.
ESMARELDA
ku
Thank you. And what is your name?
BUTCH
Butch.
ESMARELDA
m
Butch. What does it mean?
BUTCH
I'm an American, our names don't
ar
mean shit. Anyway, moving right

along, what is it you wanna know,
Esmarelda?
ESMARELDA
I want to know what it feels 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?
Esmarelda nods her head: "yes."

BUTCH
I don't feel the least little bit
bad.

Pulp_Fiction 72.
50 EXT. PHONE BOOTH (RAINING) – NIGHT 50

We DOLLY around a phone booth as Butch talks inside.
BUTCH
(into phone)
What's I tell ya, soon as the word
got out a fix was in, the odds would
be outta control. Hey, if he was a
better fighter he's be alive. If he
never laced up his gloves in the
first place, which he never shoulda
done, he'd be alive. Enough about
the poor unfortunate Mr. Floyd,
let's talk about the rich and
prosperous Mr. Butch. How many
bookies you spread it around with?
(pause)
jp
Eight? How long to collect?
(pause)
So by tomorrow evening, you'll have
it all?
(pause)
ku
Good news Scotty, real good news – I
understand a few stragglers aside.
Me an' Fabienne're gonna leave in
the morning. It should take us a
couple days to get into Knoxville.
Next time we see each other, it'll
m
be on Tennessee time.
Butch hangs up the phone. He looks at the cab waiting to take
him wherever he wants to go.

BUTCH
(to himself in French with
English subtitles)
Fabienne my love, our adventure
begins.
CUT TO:
51 EXT. MOTEL - STOPPED – NIGHT 51

Esmeralda's taxi pulled into the motel parking lot. The rain
has stopped, but the night is still soaked. Butch gets out,
now fully dressed in tee-shirt, jeans and high school
athletic jacket. He leans in the driver's side window.
ESMARELDA
Forty-five sixty.
Handing her the money.

Pulp_Fiction 73.
BUTCH
Merci beaucoup. And here's a little
something for the effort.
Butch holds up a hundred dollar bill.
Esmarelda's eyes light up. She goes to take it. Butch holds
it out of reach.
BUTCH
Now if anybody should ask you about
who your fare was tonight, what're
you gonna tell 'em?
ESMARELDA
The truth. Three well-dressed,
slightly toasted, Mexicans.
jp
He gives her the bill.
BUTCH
Bon soir, Esmarelda.
ku
ESMARELDA
(in Spanish)
Sleep well, Butch.
He tweaks her nose, she smiles, and he turns and walks away.
She drives off.

52 INT. MOTEL (ROOM SIX) – NIGHT 52

ar
Butch enters and turns on the light.

Lying curled up on the bed, fully dressed, with her back to
us is Butch's French girlfriend, FABIENNE.
FABIENNE
Keep the light off.
Butch flicks the switch back, making the room dark again.
BUTCH
Is that better, sugar pop?
FABIENNE
Oui. Hard day at the office?
BUTCH
Pretty hard. I got into a fight.
FABIENNE
Poor baby. Can we make spoons?

Pulp_Fiction 74.
Butch climbs into bed, spooning Fabienne from behind.

When Butch and Fabienne speak to each other, they speak in
baby- talk.
FABIENNE
I was looking at myself in the
mirror.
BUTCH
Uh-huh?
FABIENNE
I wish I had a pot.
BUTCH
You were lookin' in the mirror and
you wish you had some pot?
jp
FABIENNE
A pot. A pot belly. Pot bellies are
sexy.
ku
BUTCH
Well you should be happy, 'cause you
do.
FABIENNE
Shut up, Fatso! I don't have a pot!
m
I have a bit of a tummy, like
Madonna when she did "Lucky Star,"
it's not the same thing.
ar
BUTCH
I didn't realize there was a
difference between a tummy and a pot
belly.
FABIENNE
The difference is huge.
BUTCH
You want me to have a pot?
FABIENNE
No. Pot bellies make a man look
either oafish, or like a gorilla.
But on a woman, a pot belly is very
sexy. The rest of you is normal.
Normal face, normal legs, normal
hips, normal ass, but with a big,
perfectly round pot belly. If I had
one, I'd wear a tee-shirt two sizes
too small to accentuate it.

Pulp_Fiction 75.
BUTCH
You think guys would find that
attractive?
FABIENNE
I don't give a damn what men find
attractive. It's unfortunate what we
find pleasing to the touch and
pleasing to the eye is seldom the
same.
BUTCH
If I had a pot belly, I'd punch you
in it.
FABIENNE
You'd punch me in my belly?
jp
BUTCH
Right in the belly.
FABIENNE
I'd smother you. I'd drop it on your
ku
right on your face 'til you couldn't
breathe.
BUTCH
You'd do that to me?
m
FABIENNE
Yes!
BUTCH
ar
Did you get everything, sugar pop?

FABIENNE
Yes, I did.
BUTCH
Good job.
FABIENNE
Did everything go as planned?
BUTCH
You didn't listen to the radio?
FABIENNE
I never listen to your fights. Were
you the winner?
BUTCH
I won alright.

Pulp_Fiction 76.
FABIENNE
Are you still retiring?
BUTCH
Sure am.
FABIENNE
What about the man you fought?
BUTCH
Floyd retired too.
FABIENNE
(smiling)
Really?! He won't be fighting no
more?!
BUTCH
jp
Not no more.
FABIENNE
So it all worked out in the finish?
ku
BUTCH
We ain't at the finish, baby.
Fabienne rolls over and Butch gets on top of her. They kiss.
FABIENNE
m
We're in a lot of danger, aren't we?

ar
FABIENNE
If they find us, they'll kill us,
won't they?
FABIENNE
But they won't find us, will they?
Butch nods his head: "no."
FABIENNE
Do you still want me to go with you?
FABIENNE
I don't want to be a burden or a
nuisance –

Pulp_Fiction 77.
Butch's hand goes out of frame and starts massaging her

crotch.
Fabienne reacts.
FABIENNE
Say it!
BUTCH
Fabienne, I want you to be with me.
FABIENNE
Forever?
BUTCH
... and ever.
Fabienne lies her head back.
jp
Butch continues to massage her crotch.
FABIENNE
Do you love me?
ku
BUTCH
Oui.
FABIENNE
Butch? Will you give me oral
m
pleasure?
Butch kisses her on the mouth.
ar
BUTCH
Will you kiss it?
She nods her head: "yes."
FABIENNE
But you first.
Butch's head goes down out of frame to carry out the oral
pleasure. Fabienne's face is alone in the frame.
FABIENNE
(in French, with English
subtitles)
Butch my love, the adventure begins.
FADE TO BLACK
FADE UP:

Pulp_Fiction 78.
52B INT. MOTEL ROOM 52B

Same motel room, except empty. WE HEAR THE SHOWER RUNNING in
the bathroom. The CAMERA MOVES to the bathroom doorway. We
see Fabienne in a white terry cloth robe that seems to
swallow her up.
She's drying her head with a towel. Butch is inside the

shower washing up. We see the outline of his naked body
through the smoky glass of the shower door. Steam fills the
bathroom. Butch turns the shower off and opens the door,
popping his head out.
BUTCH
I think I cracked a rib.
FABIENNE
Giving me oral pleasure?
jp
BUTCH
No retard, from the fight.
FABIENNE
ku
Don't call me retard.
BUTCH
(in a Mongoloid voice)
My name is Fabby! My name is Fabby!
m
FABIENNE
Shut up fuck head! I hate that
Mongoloid voice.
ar
BUTCH
Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, I take it
back! Can I have a towel please,
Miss Beautiful Tulip.
FABIENNE
Oh I like that, I like being called
a tulip. Tulip is much better than
Mongoloid.
She finishes drying her hair and wraps the towel like a
turban on her head.
BUTCH
I didn't call you a Mongoloid, I
called you a retard, but I took it
back.
She hands him a towel.
BUTCH

Pulp_Fiction 79.
Merci beaucoup.
FABIENNE
Butch?
BUTCH
(drying his head)
Yes, lemon pie.
FABIENNE
Where are we going to go?
BUTCH
I'm not sure yet. Wherever you want.
We're gonna get a lot of money from
this. But it ain't gonna be so much,
we can live like hogs in the fat
house forever. I was thinking we
jp
could go somewhere in the South
Pacific. The kinda money we'll
have'll carry us a long way down
there.
ku
FABIENNE
So if we wanted, we could live in
Bora Bora?
BUTCH
You betcha. And if after awhile you
m
don't dig Bora Bora, then we can
move over to Tahiti or Mexico.
FABIENNE
ar
But I do not speak Spanish.

BUTCH You don't speak Bora Boran either. Besides, Mexican is
easy: Donde esta el zapataria?
FABIENNE
What does that mean?
BUTCH
Where's the shoe store?
FABIENNE
Donde esta el zapataria?
BUTCH
Excellent pronunciation. You'll be
my little mama ceta in no time.
Butch exits the bathroom. We stay on Fabienne as she brushes
her teeth.

Pulp_Fiction 80.
Butch keeps on from the other room.

BUTCH (O.S.)
Que hora es?
FABIENNE
Que hora es?
BUTCH (O.S.)
What time is it?
FABIENNE
What time is it?
BUTCH (O.S.)
Time for bed. Sweet dream,
jellybean.
jp
Fabienne brushes her teeth. We watch her for a moment or two,
then she remember something.
FABIENNE
Butch.
ku
She walks out of the bathroom to ask Butch a question, only
to find him sound asleep in bed.
She looks at him for a moment.
m
FABIENNE
Forget it.
She exits frame, going back in the bathroom. WE STAY on the
ar
WIDE SHOT of the unconscious Butch in bed.

FADE TO BLACK
FADE UP:
52A INT. MOTEL ROOM – MORNING 52A

SAME SHOT AS BEFORE, the next morning. We find Butch still
asleep in bed.
Fabienne brushes her teeth half in and half out of the
bathroom so she can watch TV at the same time. She still
wears the terry cloth robe from the night before.
ON TV: WILLIAM SMITH and a BUNCH OF HELL'S ANGELS are taking
on the entire Vietnamese army in the film "THE LOSERS".
Butch wakes from his sleep, as if a scary monster was chasing
him. His start startles Fabienne.

Pulp_Fiction 81.
FABIENNE
Merde! You startled me. Did you have
a bad dream?
Butch squints down the front of the bed at her, trying to
focus.
Butch, still trying to chase the cobwebs away, sees on TV
Hell's Angels tear-assin' through a Vietnamese prison camp.
BUTCH
What are you watching?
FABIENNE
A motorcycle movie, I'm not sure the
name.
BUTCH
jp
Are you watchin' it?
Fabienne enters the room.
FABIENNE
ku
In a way. Why? Would you like for me
to switch it off?
BUTCH
Would you please?
m
She reaches over and turns off the TV.
BUTCH
It's a little too early in the
ar
morning for explosions and war.

FABIENNE
What was it about?
BUTCH
How should I know, you were the one
watchin' it.
Fabienne laughs.
FABIENNE
No, imbecile, what was your dream
about?
BUTCH
Oh, I... don't remember. It's really
rare I remember a dream.
FABIENNE
You just woke up from it.

Pulp_Fiction 82.
BUTCH
Fabienne, I'm not lying to you, I
don't remember.
FABIENNE
Well, let's look at the grumpy man
in the morning. I didn't say you
were lying, it's just odd you don't
remember your dreams. I always
remember mine. Did you know you talk
in your sleep?
BUTCH
I don't talk in my sleep, do I talk
in my sleep?
FABIENNE
You did last night.
jp
BUTCH
What did I say?
Laying on top of him.
ku
FABIENNE
I don't know. I couldn't understand
you.
She kisses Butch.
m
FABIENNE
Why don't you get up and we'll get
some breakfast at that breakfast
ar
place with the pancakes.

BUTCH
One more kiss and I'll get up.
Fabienne gives Butch a sweet long kiss.
FABIENNE
Satisfied?
BUTCH
Yep.
FABIENNE
Then get up, lazy bones.
Butch climbs out of bed and starts pulling clothes out of the
suitcase that Fabienne brought.
BUTCH
What time is it?

Pulp_Fiction 83.
FABIENNE
Almost nine in the morning. What
time does our train arrive?
BUTCH
Eleven.
FABIENNE
I'm gonna order a big plate of
blueberry pancakes with maple syrup,
eggs over easy, and five sausages.
BUTCH
(surprised at her
potential appetite)
Anything to drink with that?
Butch is finished dressing.
jp
FABIENNE
(referring to his clothes)
Oh yes, that looks nice. To drink, a
tall glass or orange juice and a
ku
black cup of coffee. After that, I'm
going to have a slice of pie.
As he goes through the suitcase.
BUTCH
m
Pie for breakfast?
FABIENNE
Any time of the day is a good time
ar
for pie. Blueberry pie to go with

the pancakes. And on top, a thin
slice of melted cheese –
BUTCH
– where's my watch?
FABIENNE
It's there.
BUTCH
No, it's not. It's not here.
FABIENNE
Have you looked?
By now, Butch is frantically rummaging through the suitcase.
BUTCH
Yes I've fuckin' looked!!

Pulp_Fiction 84.
He's now throwing clothes.

BUTCH
What the fuck do you think I'm
doing?! Are you sure you got it?
Fabienne can hardly speak, she's never seen Butch this way.
FABIENNE
Uhhh... yes... beside the table
drawer –
BUTCH
– on the little kangaroo.
FABIENNE
Yes, it was on your little kangaroo.
jp
BUTCH
Well it's not here!
FABIENNE
(on the verge of tears)
ku
Well it should be!
BUTCH
Oh it most definitely should be
here, but it's not. So where is it?
m
Fabienne is crying and scared.
Butch lowers his voice, which only serves to make him more
menacing.
ar
BUTCH
Fabienne, that was my father's
fuckin' watch. You know what my
father went through to git me that
watch?... I don't wanna get into it
right now... but he went through a
lot. Now all this other shit, you
coulda set on fire, but I
specifically reminded you not to
forget my father's watch. Now think,
did you get it?
FABIENNE
I believe so...
BUTCH
You believe so? You either did, or
you didn't, now which one is it?
FABIENNE

Pulp_Fiction 85.
Then I did.
BUTCH
Are you sure?
FABIENNE
(shaking)
No.
Butch freaks out, he punches the air.

Fabienne SCREAMS and backs into a corner,
Butch picks up the motel TV and THROWS IT AGAINST the wall.
Fabienne SCREAMS IN HORROR.
Butch looks toward her, suddenly calm.
jp
BUTCH
(to Fabienne)
No! It's not your fault.
(he approached her)
ku
You left it at the apartment.
He bends down in front of the woman who has sunk to the
floor.
He touches her hand, she flinches.
m
BUTCH
If you did leave it at the
apartment, it's not your fault. I
ar
had you bring a bunch of stuff. I

reminded you about it, but I didn't
illustrate how personal the watch
was to me. If all I gave a fuck
about was my watch, I should've told
you. You ain't a mind reader.
He kisses her hand. Then rises.
Fabienne is still sniffling.
Butch goes to the closet.
FABIENNE
I'm sorry.
Butch puts on his high school jacket.
BUTCH
Don't be. It just means I won't be
able to eat breakfast with you.

Pulp_Fiction 86.
FABIENNE
Why does it mean that?
BUTCH
Because I'm going back to my
apartment to get my watch.
FABIENNE
Won't the gangsters be looking for
you there?
BUTCH
That's what I'm gonna find out. If
they are, and I don't think I can
handle it, I'll split.
Rising from the floor.
jp
FABIENNE
I was so dreadful. I saw your watch,
I thought I brought it. I'm so
sorry.
ku
Butch brings her close and puts his hands on her face.
BUTCH
Don't feel bad, sugar pop. Nothing
you could ever do would make me
permanently angry at you.
m

ar
his wallet)
Now here's some money, order those
pancakes and have a great breakfast.
FABIENNE
Don't go.
BUTCH
I'll be back before you can say,
blueberry pie.
FABIENNE
Blueberry pie.
BUTCH
Well maybe not that fast, but fast.
Okay? Okay?
FABIENNE
Okay.

Pulp_Fiction 87.
He kisses her once more and heads for the door.

BUTCH
Bye-bye, sugar pop.
FABIENNE
Bye.
BUTCH
I'm gonna take your Honda.
FABIENNE
Okay.
And with that, he's out the door.
Fabienne sits on the bed and looks at the money he gave her.

53 INT. HONDA - MOVING – DAY 53
Butch is beating the steering wheel and the dash with his
fists as he drives down the street.
ku
BUTCH
Of all the fuckin' things she coulda
forgot, she forgets my father's
watch. I specifically reminded her
not to forget it. "Bedside table –
m
on the kangaroo." I said the words:
"Don't forget my father's watch."
ar
54 EXT. CITY STREET – DAY 54

The little Honda races toward its destination as fast as is
little engine will take it.
CUT TO:
A parking meter red flag rises up, then out, leaving the
arrow pointing at one hour.
55 EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET CORNER – DAY 55

Butch isn't completely reckless. He has parked his car a
couple of blocks from his apartment to check things out
before he goes boppin' through the front door.
56 EXT. ALLEY – DAY 56

Pulp_Fiction 88.
Butch walks down the alley until he gets to another street,

then he discreetly glances out.
57 EXT. STREET – BUTCH'S APARTMENT – DAY 57

Everything seems normal. More or less the right number of
cars in the street. None of the parked cars appear out of
place. None of them have a couple of goons sitting inside.
Basically, it looks like normal morning activity in front of
Butch's home.
Butch peers around a wall, taking in the vital information.
Butch walks out of the alley and is ready for anything. He
crosses the street and enters his apartment courtyard.
Across the street from Butch's building, on the corner, is a
jp
combination donut shop and Japanese restaurant. A big sign
sticks up in the air, with the name "Teriyaki Donut" and a
graphic of a donut sticking out of a bowl of rice.
ku
58 EXT. BUTCH'S APARTMENT COURTYARD – DAY 58
Butch is in the courtyard of his North Hollywood apartment
building. Once again, everything appears normal – the laundry
room, the pool, his apartment door – nothing appears
disturbed.
m
Butch climbs the stairs leading to his apartment, number 12.

He steps outside the door and listens inside. Nothing.
ar
Butch slowly inserts the key into the door, quietly opening
it.
59 INT. BUTCH'S APARTMENT – DAY 59

His apartment hasn't been touched.
He cautiously steps inside, shuts the door and takes a quick
look around. Obviously, no one is there.
Butch walks into his modest kitchen, and opens the
refrigerator. He takes out a carton of milk and drinks from
it.
With carton in hard, Butch surveys the apartment. Then he
goes to the bedroom.
His bedroom is like the rest of the apartment – neat, clean
and anonymous. The only things personal in his room are a few
boxing trophies, an Olympic silver medal, a framed issue of

Pulp_Fiction 89.
"Ring Magazine" with Butch on the cover, and a poster of

Jerry Quarry and one of George Chuvalo.
Sure enough, there's the watch just like he said it was: On
the bedside table, hanging on his little kangaroo statue.
He walks through the apartment and back into the kitchen. He
opens a cupboard and takes out a box of Pop Tarts. Putting
down the milk, he opens the box, takes out two Pop Tarts and
puts them in the toaster.
Butch glances to his right, his eyes fall on something.
What he sees is a small compact Czech M61 submachine gun with
a huge silencer on it, lying on his kitchen counter.
BUTCH
(softly)
jp
Holy shit.
He picks up the intimidating peace of weaponary and examines
it.
ku
Then... a toilet FLUSHES.
Butch looks up to the bathroom door, which is parallel to the
kitchen. There is someone behind it.
Like a rabbit caught in a radish patch, Butch freezes, not
m
knowing what to do.
The bathroom door opens and Vincent Vega steps out of the
bathroom, tightening his belt. In his hand is the book
ar
"MODESTY BLAISE" by Peter O'Donnell.

Vincent and Butch lock eyes.
Vincent freezes.
Butch doesn't move, except to point the M61 in Vincent's
direction.
Neither man opens his mouth.
Then... the toaster LOUDLY kicks up the Pop Tarts.
That's all the situation needed.
Butch's finger HITS the trigger.
MUFFLED FIRE SHOOTS out of the end of the gun.
Vincent is seemingly WRACKED with twenty bullets
SIMULTANEOUSLY – LIFTING him off his feet, PROPELLING him

Pulp_Fiction 90.
through the air and CRASHING through the glass shower door at
the end of the bathroom.
By the time Butch removes his finger from the trigger,
Vincent is annihilated.
Butch stands frozen, amazed at what just happened. His look
goes from the grease spot in the bathroom that was once
Vincent, down to the powerful piece of artillery in his grip.
With the respect it deserves, Butch carefully places the M61
back on the kitchen counter.
Then he exits the apartment, quickly.
60 EXT. APARTMENT COURTYARD – DAY 60

jp
Butch, not running, but walking very rapidly, crosses the
courtyard...
... comes out of the apartment building, crosses the
street...
ku
... goes through the alley...
... and into his car in one STEADICAM SHOT.
m
61 EXT. HONDA – DAY 61
Butch CRANKS the car into gear and drives away. The big wide
smile of a survivor breaks across his face.
ar
62 EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING STREET – DAY 62

The Honda turns down the alley and slowly cruises by his
apartment building.
63 INT. HONDA – DAY 63

Butch looks out the window at his former home.
BUTCH
That's how you're gonna beat 'em,
Butch. They keep underestimatin' ya.
This makes the boxer laugh out loud. As he laughs, he flips a
tape in the cassette player. When the MUSIC starts, he SINGS
along with it.

Pulp_Fiction 91.
He drives by the apartment, but is stopped at the light on

the corner across from Teriyaki Donut.
Butch is still chuckling, singing along with the song, as we
see:
THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD
The big man himself, Marsellus Wallace, exit Teriyaki Donut,
carrying a box of a dozen donuts and two large styrofoam cups
of coffee. He steps off the curb, crossing the street in
front of Butch's car. This is the first time we see Marsellus
clearly.
Laughing boy stops when he sees the big man directly in front
of him.
When Marsellus is in front of Butch's car, he casually
jp
glances to his left, sees Butch, continues walking... then
STOPS!
DOUBLE-TAKE: "Am I really seeing what I'm seeing?"
ku
Butch doesn't wait for the big man to answer his own
question. He STOMPS on the gas pedal.
The little Honda SLAMS into Marsellus, sending him, the
donuts and the coffee HITTING the pavement at thirty miles an
hour.
m
Butch CUTS into cross traffic and is BROAD-SIDED by a gold

Camaro Z-28, BREAKING all the windows in the Honda and
sending it up on the sidewalk.
ar
Butch sits dazed and confused in the crumpled mess of what at

one time was Fabienne's Honda. Blood flows from his nostrils.
The still-functional tape player continues to play. A
PEDESTRIAN pokes his head inside.
PEDESTRIAN
Jesus, are you okay?
Butch look at him, spaced-out.
BUTCH
I guess.
Marsellus Wallace lies sprawled out in the street. GAWKERS
gather around the body.
GAWKER #1
(to the others)
He's dead! He's dead!

Pulp_Fiction 92.
This jerk's yelling makes Marsellus come to.

TWO PEDESTRIANS help the shaken Butch out of the wreckage.
The woozy Marsellus gets to his feet.
GAWKER #2
If you need a witness in court, I'll
be glad to help. He was a drunken
maniac. He hit you and crashed into
that car.
MARSELLUS
(still incoherent)
Who?
GAWKER #2
(pointing at Butch)
jp
Him.
Marsellus follows the Gawker's finger and sees Butch Coolidge
down the street, looking a shambles.
ku
MARSELLUS
Well, I'll be damned.
The big man takes out a .45 Automatic and the Gawkers back
away. Marsellus starts moving toward Butch.
m
Butch sees the fierce figure making a wobbly bee-line toward
him.
BUTCH
ar
Sacre bleu.
Marsellus brings up his weapon and FIRES, but he's so hurt,
shaky and dazed that his arm goes wild.
He HITS a LOOKY-LOO WOMAN in the hip. She falls to the
ground, screaming.
LOOKY-LOO WOMAN
Oh my God, I've been shot!
That's all Butch needs to see. He's outta here.
Marsellus RUNS after him.
The CROWD looks agape.
Butch is in a mad, limping RUN.
The big man's hot on his ass with a cockeyed wobbly run.

Pulp_Fiction 93.
Butch cuts across traffic and dashes into a business with a

sign that reads "MASON-DIXIE PAWNSHOP".
64 INT. MASON-DIXIE PAWNSHOP – DAY 64

MAYNARD, a hillbilly-lookin' boy, stands behind the counter
of his pawnshop when, all of a sudden, chaos in the form of
Butch RACES into his world.
MAYNARD
Can I help you wit' somethin'?
BUTCH
Shut up!
Butch quickly takes measure of the situation, than stands
next to the door.
jp
MAYNARD
Now you just wait one goddamn minute
–
ku
Before Maynard can finish his threat, Marsellus CHARGES in.
He doesn't get past the doorway because Butch LANDS his fist
in Marsellus' face.
The gangster's feet go out from under him and the big man
FALLS FLAT on his back.
m
Outside, two police cars with their SIRENS BLARING race by.
Butch POUNCES on the fallen body, PUNCHING him twice more in
ar
the face.
Butch takes the gun out of Marsellus' hand, than grabs ahold
of his middle finger.
BUTCH
So you like chasing people, huh?
He BREAKS the finger. Marsellus lets out a pain sound.Butch

then places the barrel of the .45 between his eyes, PULLS
back the hammer and places his open hand behind the gun to
shield the splatter.
BUTCH
Well guess what, big man, you caught
me –
MAYNARD (O.S.)
– hold it right there, godammit!

Pulp_Fiction 94.
Butch and Marsellus look up at Maynard, who's brandishing a

pump- action shotgun, aimed at the two men.
BUTCH
Look mister, this ain't any of your
business –
MAYNARD
– I'm makin' it my business! Now
toss that gun!
Butch does.
MAYNARD
Now you on top, stand up and come to
the counter.
Butch slowly gets up and moves to the counter. As soon as he
jp
gets there, Maynard HAULS OFF, HITTING him hard in the face
with the butt of the shotgun, knocking Butch down and out.
After Butch goes down, Maynard calmly lays the shotgun on the
counter and moves to the telephone.
ku
Marsellus Wallace, from his position on the floor, groggily
watches the pawnshop owner dial a number. Maynard waits on
the line while the other end rings. Then it picks up.
MAYNARD
m
Zed? It's Maynard. The spider just
caught a coupl'a flies.
Marsellus passes out.

FADE TO BLACK
FADE UP:
65 INT. PAWNSHOP BACK ROOM – DAY 65

TWO SHOT – BUTCH AND MARSELLUS
They are tied up in two separate chairs. In their mouths are
two S&M-style ball gags (a belt goes around their heads and a
little red ball sticks in their mouths). Both men are
unconscious. Maynard steps in with a fire extinguisher and
SPRAYS both guys until they're wide awake and wet as otters.
The two prisoners look up at their captors.
Maynard stands in front of them, fire extinguisher in one

hand, shotgun in the other, and Marsellus' .45 sticking in
his belt.

Pulp_Fiction 95.
MAYNARD
Nobody kills anybody in my place of
business except me or Zed.
A BUZZER buzzes.
MAYNARD
That's Zed.
Without saying another word, Maynard climbs up the stairs
that lead to red curtains and goes through them.
WE HEAR, on the other side of the curtains, Maynard let Zed
inside the store.
Butch and Marsellus look around the room. The basement of the
pawnshop has been converted into a dungeon. After taking in
their predicament, Butxh and Marsellus look at each other,
jp
all traces of hostility gone, replaced by a terror they both
share at what they've gotten themselves into.
Maynard and ZED come through the curtains. Zed is an even
more intense version of Maynard, if such a thing is possible.
ku
The two hillbillys are obviously brothers. Where Maynard is a
vicious pitbull, Zed is a deadly cobra. Zed walks in and
stands in front of the two captives. He inspects them for a
long time, then says:
ZED
m
(to Maynard)
You said you waited for me?
MAYNARD
ar
I did.
ZED Then how come they're all beat up?
MAYNARD
They did that to each other. They
was fightin' when they came in. This
one was gonna shoot that one.
ZED
(to Butch)
You were gonna shoot him?
Butch makes no reply.
ZED
Hey, is Grace gonna be okay in front
of this place?
MAYNARD
Yeah, it ain't Tuesday is it?

Pulp_Fiction 96.
ZED
No, it's Thursday.
MAYNARD
Then she'll be fine.
ZED
Bring out The Gimp.
MAYNARD
I think The Gimp's sleepin'.
ZED
Well, I guess you'll just wake 'em
up then, won't you?
Maynard opens a trap door in the floor.
jp
MAYNARD
(yelling in the hole)
Wake up!
Maynard reaches into the hole and comes back holding onto a
ku
leash. He gives it a rough yank and, from below the floor,
rises THE GIMP.
The Gimp is a man they keep dressed from head to toe in black
leather bondage gear. There are zippers, buckles and studs
here and there on the body. On his head is a black leather
m
mask with two eye holes and a zipper (closed) for a mouth.
They keep him in a hole in the floor big enough for a large
dog.
ar
Zed takes the chair, sits it in front of the two prisoners,

then lowers into it. Maynard hands The Gimp's leash to Zed,
then backs away.
MAYNARD
(to The Gimp)
Down!
The Gimp gets on its knees.
Maynard hangs back while Zed appraises the two men.
MAYNARD
Who's first?
ZED
I ain't fer sure yet.
Then with his little finger, Zed does a silent "Eenie, meany,
miney, moe... " just his mouth mouthing the words and his
finger going back and forth between the two.

Pulp_Fiction 97.
Butch are Marsellus are terrified.

Maynard looks back and forth at the victims.
The Gimps's eyes go from one to the other inside the mask.
Zed continues his silent sing-song with his finger moving
left to right, then it stops.
TWO SHOT – BUTCH AND MARSELLUS
After a beat, THE CAMERA MOVES to the right, zeroing in on
Marsellus.
Zed stands up.
ZED
Wanna do it here?
jp
MAYNARD
Naw, drag big boy to Russell's old
room.
ku
Zed grabs Marsellus' chair and DRAGS him into Russell's old
room. Russell, no doubt, was some other poor bastard that has
the misfortune of stumbling into the Mason-Dixie pawnshop.
Whatever happened to Russell is known only to Maynard and Zed
because his old room, a back room in the back of the back
room, is empty.
m
As Marsellus is dragged away, he locks eyes with Butch before

he disappears behind the door of Russell's old room.
ar
MAYNARD
(to The Gimp)
Up!
The Gimp rises. Maynard ties The Gimp's leash to a hook on

the ceiling.
MAYNARD
Keep an eye on this one.
The Gimp bows its head: "yes."Maynard disappears into
Russell's old room. There must be a stereo in there because
suddenly The Judds, singing in harmony, fills the air.
Butch looks at The Gimp. The Gimp giggles from underneath the
mask as if this were the funniest moment in the history of
comedy.
From behind the door we hear country MUSIC, struggling, and:
MAYNARD (O.S.)

Pulp_Fiction 98.
Whoa, this boy's got a bit of fight

in 'em!
We the HEAR Maynard and Zed beat on Marsellus.
ZED (O.S.)
You wanna fight? You wanna fight?
Good, I like to fight!
Butch pauses, listens to the voices. Then, in a panic,
hurriedly struggles to get free.
The Gimp is laughing wildly.
The ropes are on too tight and Butch can't break free.
The Gimp slaps his knee laughing
jp
In the back room, we hear:
MAYNARD (O.S.)
That's it... that's it boy, you're
goin' fine. Oooooooh, just like
ku
that... that's good.
(grunting faster)
Stay still... stay still goddamn ya!
Zed goddammit, git over here and
hold 'em!
m
Butch stops struggling and lifts up on his arms. Then, quite
easily, the padded chair back slides up and off as if it were
never connected by a bolt.
ar
The Gimp sees this and its eyes widen.

THE GIMP
Huhng?
The Gimp FLAILS WILDLY, trying to get the leash off the hook.
He tries to yell, but all that comes out are excited gurgles
and grunts.
Butch is out of his chair, quickly dispensing three BOXER'S
PUNCHES to its face. The punches knock The Gimp out, making
him fall to his knees, this HANGING HIMSELF by the leash
attached to the hook,
Butch removes the ball gag, then silently makes his way
through the red curtains.
66 INT. PAWNSHOP – DAY 66

Butch sneaks to the door.

Pulp_Fiction 99.
On the counter is a big set of keys with a large Z connected

to the ring. Grabbing them, he's about to go out when he
stops and listens to the hillbilly psychopaths having their
way with Marsellus.
Butch decides for the life of him, he can't leave anybody in
a situation like that. Se he begins rooting around the
pawnshop for a weapon to bash those hillbillies' heads in
with.
He picks up a big destructive-looking hammer, then discards
it: Not destructive enough. He picks up a chainsaw, thinks
about it for a moment, then puts it back. Next, a large
Louisville slugger he tries on for size. But then he spots
what he's been looking for:
A Samurai sword.
jp
It hands in its hand-carved wood sheath from a nail on the
wall, next to a neon "DAD'S OLD-FASHIONED ROOT BEER" sign.
Butch takes the sword off the wall, removing it from ist
sheath. It's a magnificent piece of steel. It seems to
glisten in the low-wattage light of the pawnshop. Butch
ku
touches his thumb to the blade to see if the sword is just
for show. Not on your life. It's as sharp as it gets. This
weapon seems made to order for the Brothers Grimm downstairs.
Holding the sword pointed downward, Takakura Ken- style, he
disappears through the red curtains to take care of business.
m
67 INT. PAWNSHOP BACK ROOM – DAY 67

Butch quietly sneaks down the stairs leading to the dungeon.
ar
Sodomy and the Judds can still be heard going string behind
the closed door that leads to Russell's old room.
68 INT. RUSSELL'S OLD ROOM – DAY 68

Butch's hand comes into frame, pushing the door open. It
swings open silently, revealing the rapists, who have
switched positions. Zed is now bent over Marsellus, who is
bent over a wooden horse. Maynard watches. Both have their
backs to Butch.
Maynard faces the CAMERA, grinning, while Butch comes up
behind him with the sword.
Miserable, violated, and looking like a rag doll, Marsellus,
red ball gag still in mouth, opens his watery eyes to see
Butch coming up behind Maynard. His eyes widen.
BUTCH
Hey hillbilly.

Pulp_Fiction 100.
Maynard turns and sees Butch holding the sword.

Butch SCREAMS... with one mighty SWING, SLASHES Maynard
across the front, moving past him, eyes and blade now locked
on Zed.
Maynard stands trembling, his front sliced open, in shock.
Butch, while never taking his eyes off Zed, THRUSTS the sword
behind him, SKEWERING Maynard, then EXTRACTS it, pointing the
blade toward Zed. Maynard COLLAPSES.
Zed disengages from Marsellus in a hurry and his eyes go from
the tip of Butch's sword to Marsellus' .45 Automatic, which
lies within reach.
Butch's eyes follow Zed's.
jp
BUTCH
You want that gun, Zed? Pick it up.
Zed's hand inches toward the weapon.
ku
Butch GRIPS the sword tighter.
Zed studies Butch.
Butch looks hard at Zed.
m
Then a VOICE says:
MARSELLUS (O.S.)
Step aside, Butch.
ar
Butch steps aside, REVEALING Marsellus standing behind him,

holding Maynard's pump-action shotgun.
KABOOM!!!!
Zed is BLASTED in the groin. Down he goes, SCREAMING in
AGONY.
Marsellus, looking down at his whimpering rapist, EJECTS the
used shotgun shell.
Butch lowers the sword and hangs back. Not a word, until:
BUTCH
You okay?
MARSELLUS
Naw man. I'm pretty fuckin' far from
okay!

Pulp_Fiction 101.
Long pause.
BUTCH
What now?
MARSELLUS
What now? Well let me tell you what
now. I'm gonna call a couple pipe-
hittin' niggers, who'll go to work
on homes here with a pair of pliers
and a blow torch.
(to Zed)
Hear me talkin' hillbilly boy?! I
ain't through with you by a damn
sight. I'm gonna git Medieval on
your ass.
BUTCH
jp
I meant what now, between me and
you?
MARSELLUS
Oh, that what now? Well, let me tell
ku
ya what now between me an' you.
There is no me an' you. Not no more.
BUTCH
So we're cool?
m
MARSELLUS
Yeah man, we're cool. One thing I
ask – two things I ask: Don't tell
nobody about this. This shit's
ar
between me and you and the soon-to-

be-livin'-the-rest-of-his- short-
ass-life-in-agonizing-pain, Mr.
Rapist here. It ain't nobody else's
business. Two: leave town. Tonight.
Right now. And when you're gone,
stay gone. You've lost your Los
Angeles privileges. Deal?
BUTCH
Deal.
The two men shake hands, then hug one another.
MARSELLUS
Go on now, get your ass outta here.
Butch leaves Russell's old room through the red curtains.
Marsellus walks over to a phone, dialing a number.
MARSELLUS

Pulp_Fiction 102.
(into the phone)

Hello Mr. Wolf, it's Marsellus.
Gotta bit of a situation.
69 EXT. MASON-DIXIE PAWNSHOP – DAY 69

Butch, still shaking in his boots, exits the pawnshop. He
looks ahead and sees, parked in front of the establishment,
Zed's Big Chrome Chopper with a teardrop gas tank that has
the name "GRACE" on it. He climbs aboard, takes out the keys
with the big Z on them and starts up the huge hog. It RUMBLES
to life, making sounds like a rocket fighting for orbit.
Butch twists the accelerator handle and SPEEDS off.

Butch on the chopper, she stops dead.

hand.

73 INT. BATHROOM – DAY 73

We're in the bathroom of the Hollywood apartment we were in
m
earlier. In fact, we're there at exactly the same time.
Except this time, we're in the bathroom with the FOURTH MAN.
The Fourth Man is pacing around the small room, listening
hard to what's being said on the other side of the door,
ar
tightly CLUTCHING his huge silver .357 Magnum.
JULES (O.S.)
"... blessed is he who, in the name

upon thee with great vengeance and
furious anger those who attempt to
poison and destroy my brothers. And
you will know I am the Lord when I
lay my vengeance upon you."
BANG! BANG! BOOM! POW! BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!

The Fourth Man freaks out. He THROWS himself against the back
wall, gun outstretched in front of him, a look of yellow fear
on his face, ready to blow in half anybody fool enough to
stick their head through that door.
Then he listens to them talk.

The bathroom door BURSTS OPEN and the Fourth Man CHARGES out,
silver Magnum raised, FIRING SIX BOOMING SHOTS from his hand
cannon.
FOURTH MAN
jp
Die... die... die... die...!
DOLLY INTO Fourth Man, same as before.
He SCREAM until he's dry firing. Then a look of confusion

ku
crosses his face.
TWO SHOT – JULES AND VINCENT
Standing next to each other, unharmed. Amazing as it seems,

none of the Fourth Man's shots appear to have hit anybody.
m
Jules and Vincent exchange looks like, "Are we hit?" They're
as confused at the shooter. After looking at each other, they
bring their looks up to the Fourth Man.
ar
FOURTH MAN
I don't understand –
The Fourth Man is taken out of the scenario by the two men's
bullets who, unlike his, HIT their marks. He drops DEAD.
The two men lower their guns. Jules, obviously shaken, sits
down in a chair. Vincent, after a moment of respect, shrugs
it off. Then heads toward Marvin in the corner.
VINCENT
Why the fuck didn't you tell us
about that guy in the bathroom? Slip
your mind? Forget he was in there
with a goddamn hand cannon?

I'll bet ya ten thousand dollars, he
laughs his ass off.

JULES
I don't give a damn if he does.
Vincent turns to the backseat with the .45 casually in his
grip.
m
VINCENT
Marvin, what do you make of all
this?
ar
MARVIN
I don't even have an opinion.
VINCENT
C'mon, Marvin. Do you think God came
down from Heaven and stopped the
bullets?
Vincent's .45 goes BANG!
Marvin is hit in the upper chest, below the throat. He

GURGLES blood and SHAKES.
JULES
What the fuck's happening?
VINCENT
I just accidentally shot Marvin in
the throat.

Pulp_Fiction 110.
JULES
Why the fuck did you do that?
VINCENT
I didn't mean to do it. I said it
was an accident.
JULES
I've seen a lot of crazy-ass shit in
my time –
VINCENT
– chill out, man, it was an
accident, okay? You hit a bump or
somethin' and the gun went off.
JULES
The car didn't hit no motherfuckin'
jp
bump!
VINCENT Look! I didn't mean to shoot this son-of- a-bitch,

the gun just went off, don't ask me how!
ku
JULES
Look at this mess! We're drivin'
around on a city street in broad
daylight –
VINCENT
m
– I know, I know, I wasn't thinkin'
about the splatter.
JULES
ar
Well you better be thinkin' about it

now, motherfucker! We gotta get this
car off the road. Cops tend to
notice shit like you're driving a
car drenched in fuckin' blood.
VINCENT
Can't we just take it to a friendly
place?
JULES
This is the Valley,Vincent.
Marsellus don't got no friendly
places in the Valley.
VINCENT
Well, don't look at me, this is your
town, Jules.
Jules takes out a cellular phone and starts punching digits.

Pulp_Fiction 111.
VINCENT
Who ya callin'?
JULES
A buddy of mine in Toluca Lake.
VINCENT
Where's Toluca Lake.
JULES
On the other side of the hill, by
Burbank Studios. If Jimmie's ass
ain't home, I don't know what the
fuck we're gonna go. I ain't got any
other partners in 818.
(into phone)
Jimmie! How you doin' man, it's
Jules.
jp
(pause)
Listen up man, me an' my homeboy are
in some serious shit. We're in a car
we gotta get off the road, pronto! I
need to use your garage for a couple
ku
hours.
77 INT. JIMMIE'S BATHROOM – DAY 77
Jules is bent over a sink, washing his bloody hands while

m
Vincent stands behind him.
JULES
We gotta be real fuckin' delicate
ar
with this Jimmie's situation. He's

one remark away from kickin' our
asses out the door.
VINCENT
If he kicks us out, whadda we do?
JULES
Well, we ain't leavin' 'til we made
a couple phone calls. But I never
want it to reach that pitch.
Jimmie's my friend and you don't
bust in your friend's house and
start tellin' 'im what's what.
Jules rises and dries his hands. Vincent takes his place at
the sink.
VINCENT
Just tell 'im not to be abusive. He
kinda freaked out back there when he

Pulp_Fiction 112.
saw Marvin.
JULES
Put yourself in his position. It's
eight o'clock in the morning. He
just woke up, he wasn't prepared for
this shit. Don't forget who's doin'
who a favor.
Vincent finishes, then dries his hands on a white towel.
VINCENT
If the price of that favor is I
gotta take shit, he can stick his
favor straight up his ass.
When Vincent is finished drying his hands, the towel is

stained with red.
jp
JULES
What the fuck did you just do to his
towel?
ku
VINCENT
I was just dryin' my hands.
JULES
You're supposed to wash 'em first.
m
VINCENT
You watched me wash 'em.
JULES
ar
I watched you get 'em wet.
VINCENT
I washed 'em. Blood's real hard to
get off. Maybe if he had some Lava,
I coulda done a better job.
JULES
I used the same soap you did and
when I dried my hands, the towel
didn't look like a fuckin' Maxie
pad. Look, fuck it, alright. Who
cares? But it's shit like this
that's gonna bring this situation to
a boil. If he were to come in here
and see that towel like that... I'm
tellin' you Vincent, you best be
cool. 'Cause if I gotta get in to it
with Jimmie on account of you...
Look, I ain't threatenin' you, I

Pulp_Fiction 113.
respect you an' all, just don't put

me in that position.
JULES
Jules, you ask me nice like that, no
problem. He's your friend, you
handle him.
78 INT. JIMMIE'S KITCHEN – MORNING 78
Three men are standing in Jimmie's kitchen, each with a mug

of coffee. Jules, Vincent and JIMMIE DIMMICK, a young man in
his late 20s dressed in a bathrobe.
JULES
Goddamn Jimmie, this is some serious
gourmet shit. Me an' Vincent woulda
jp
been satisfied with freeze-dried
Tasters Choice. You spring this
gourmet fuckin' shit on us. What
flavor is this?
ku
JIMMIE
Knock it off, Julie.
JULES
What?
m
JIMMIE
I'm not a cobb or corn, so you can
stop butterin' me up. I don't need
you to tell me how good my coffee
ar
is. I'm the one who buys it, I know

how fuckin' good it is. When Bonnie
goes shoppin;, she buys shit. I buy
the gourmet expensive stuff 'cause
when I drink it, I wanna taste it.
But what's on my mind at this moment
isn't the coffee in my kitchen, it's
the dead nigger in my garage.
JULES
Jimmie –
JIMMIE
– I'm talkin'. Now let me ask you a
question, Jules. When you drove in
here, did you notice a sign out
front that said, "Dead nigger
storage?"
Jules starts to "Jimmie" him –

Pulp_Fiction 114.
JIMMIE
– answer to question. Did you see a
sign out in front of my house that
said, "Dead nigger storage?"
JULES
(playing along)
Naw man, I didn't.
JIMMIE
You know why you didn't see that
sign?
JULES
Why?
JIMMIE
'Cause storin' dead niggers ain't my
jp
fuckin' business!
Jules starts to "Jimmie" him.
JIMMIE
ku
– I ain't through! Now don't you
understand that if Bonnie comes home
and finds a dead body in her house,
I'm gonna get divorced. No marriage
counselor, no trial separation –
fuckin' divorced. And I don't wanna
m
get fuckin' divorced. The last time
me an' Bonnie talked about this shit
was gonna be the last time me an'
Bonnie talked about this shit. Now I
ar
wanna help ya out Julie, I really

do. But I ain't gonna lose my wife
doin' it.
JULES
Jimmie –
JIMMIE
– don't fuckin' Jimmie me, man, I
can't be Jimmied. There's nothin'
you can say that's gonna make me
forget I love my wife. Now she's
workin' the graveyard shift at the
hospital. She'll be comin' home in
less than an hour and a half. Make
your phone calls, talk to your
people, than get the fuck out of my
house.
JULES

Pulp_Fiction 115.
That's all we want. We don't wanna

fuck up your shit,We just need to
call our people to bring us in.
JIMMIE
Then I suggest you get to it.
Phone's in my bedroom.
79 INT. MARSELLUS WALLACE'S DINING ROOM – MORNING 79
Marsellus Wallace sits at his dining table in a big comfy

robe, eating his large breakfast, while talking on the phone.
MARSELLUS
... well, say she comes home.
Whaddya think she'll do?
(pause)
jp
No fuckin' shit she'll freak. That
ain't no kinda answer. You know 'er,
I don't. How bad, a lot or a little?
ku
80 INT. JIMMIE'S BEDROOM – MORNING 80
Jules paces around in Jimmie's bedroom on the phone.

JULES
You got to appreciate what an
m
explosive element this Bonnie
situation is. If she comes home from
a hard day's work and finds a bunch
of gangsters doin' a bunch of
ar
gangsta' shit in her kitchen, ain't

no tellin' what she's apt to do.
MARSELLUS
I've grasped that, Jules. All I'm
doin' is contemplating the "ifs."
JULES
I don't wanna hear about no
motherfuckin' "ifs."What I wanna
hear from your ass is: "you ain't
got no problems, Jules. I'm on the
motherfucker. Go back in there,
chill them niggers out and wait for
the cavalry, which should be comin'
directly."
MARSELLUS
You ain't got no problems, Jules.
I'm on the motherfucker. Go back in
there, chill them niggers out and

Pulp_Fiction 116.
wait for The Wolf, who should be

comin' directly.
JULES
You sendin' The Wolf?
MARSELLUS
Feel better?
JULES
Shit Negro, that's all you had to
say.
81 INT. HOTEL SUITE – MORNING 81

The CAMERA looks through the bedroom doorway of a hotel suite
into the main area. We SEE a crap game being played on a
jp
fancy crap table by GAMBLERS in tuxedos and LUCKY LADIES in
fancy evening gowns. The CAMERA PANS to the right revealing:
Sitting on a bed, phone in hand with his back to us, the
tuxedo-clad WINSTON WOLF aka "THE WOLF". We also see The Wolf
has a small notepad that he jots details in.
ku
THE WOLF
(into phone)
Is she the hysterical type?
(pause)
When she due?
m
(jotting down)
Give me the principals' names again?
(jots down)
Jules...
ar
We SEE his book. The page has written on it:
"1265 Riverside Drive Toluca Lake 1 body (no head) Bloody

shot-up car Jules (black)"
THE WOLF
... Vincent... Jimmie... Bonnie...
He writes:
"Vincent (Dean Martin) Jimmie (house) Bonnie (9:30)"

THE WOLF
Expect a call around 10:30. It's
about thirty minutes away. I'll be
there in ten.
He hangs up. We never see his face.

dime in front of Jimmie's house.
A ringed finger touches the doorbell: DING DONG.
83 INT. JIMMIE'S HOUSE – MORNING 83

Jimmie opens the door. We see, standing in the doorway, the
tuxedo-clad man. He looks down to his notebook, then up at
Jimmie.
THE WOLF
ku
You're Jimmie, right? This is your
house?
JIMMIE
Yeah.
m
THE WOLF
(stick his hand out)
I'm Winston Wolf, I solve problems.
ar
JIMMIE
Good, 'cause we got one.
THE WOLF
So I heard. May I come in?
JIMMIE
Please do.
In the dining room, Jules and Vincent stand up.
THE WOLF
You must be Jules, which would make
you Vincent. Let's get down to brass
tacks, gentlemen. If I was informed
correctly, the clock is ticking, is
that right, Jimmie?
JIMMIE
100%.

Pulp_Fiction 118.
THE WOLF
Your wife, Bonnie...
(refers to his pad)
... comes home at 9:30 in the AM, is
that correct?
JIMMIE
Uh-huh.
THE WOLF
I was led to believe if she comes
home and finds us here, she wouldn't
appreciate it none too much.
JIMMIE
She won't at that.
THE WOLF
jp
That give use forty minutes to get
the fuck outta Dodge, which, if you
do what I say when I say it, should
ku
by plenty. Now you got a corpse in a
car, minus a head, in a garage. Take
me to it.
84 INT. JIMMIE'S GARAGE – MORNING 84

m
The three men hand back as The Wolf examines the car. He
studies the car in silence, opening the door, looking inside,
circling it.
ar
THE WOLF
Jimmie?
JIMMIE
Yes.
THE WOLF
Do me a favor, will ya? Thought I
smelled some coffee in there. Would
you make me a cup?
JIMMIE
Sure, how do you take it?
THE WOLF
Lotsa cream, lotsa sugar.
Jimmie exists. The Wolf continues his examination.

THE WOLF

Pulp_Fiction 119.
About the car, is there anything I

need to know? Does it stall, does it
make a lot of noise, does it smoke,
is there gas in it, anything?
JULES
Aside from how it looks, the car's
cool.
THE WOLF
Positive? Don't get me out on the
road and I find out the brake lights
don't work.
JULES
Hey man, as far as I know, the
motherfucker's tip-top.
jp
THE WOLF
Good enough, let's go back to the
kitchen.
ku
85 INT. KITCHEN – MORNING 85
Jimmie hands The Wolf a cup of coffee.
THE WOLF
Thank you, Jimmie.
m
He takes a sip, then, pacing as he thinks, lays out for the

three men the plan of action.
ar
THE WOLF
Okay first thing, you two.
(meaning Jules and
Vincent)
Take the body, stick it in the
trunk. Now Jimmie, this looks to be
a pretty domesticated house. That
would lead me to believe that in the
garage or under the sink, you got a
bunch of cleaners and cleaners and
shit like that, am I correct?
JIMMIE
Yeah. Exactly. Under the sink.
THE WOLF
Good. What I need you two fellas to
do is take those cleaning products
and clean the inside of the car. And
I'm talkin' fast, fast, fast. You
need to go in the backseat, scoop up

Pulp_Fiction 120.
all those little pieces of brain and

skull. Get it out of there. Wipe
down the upholstery – now when it
comes to upholstery, it don't need
to be spic and span, you don't need
to eat off in. Give it a good once
over. What you need to take care of
are the really messy parts. The
pools of blood that have collected,
you gotta soak that shit up. But the
windows are a different story. Them
you really clean. Get the Windex, do
a good job. Now Jimmie, we need to
raid your linen closet. I need
blankets, I need comforters, I need
quilts, I need bedspreads. The
thicker the better, the darker the
better. No whites, can't use 'em. We
jp
need to camouflage the interior of
the car. We're gonna line the front
seat and the backseat and the floor
boards with quilts and blankets. If
a cop stops us and starts stickin'
ku
his big snout in the car, the
subterfuge won't last. But at a
glance, the car will appear to be
normal. Jimmie – lead the way, boys
– get to work.
m
The Wolf and Jimmie turn, heading for the bedroom, leaving
Vincent and Jules standing in the kitchen.
VINCENT
ar
(calling after him)

A "please" would be nice.
The Wolf stops and turns around.
THE WOLF
Come again?
VINCENT
I said a "please" would be nice.
The Wolf takes a step toward him.
THE WOLF
Set is straight, Buster. I'm not
here to say "please."I'm here to
tell you want to do. And if self-
preservation is an instinct you
possess, you better fuckin' do it
and do it quick. I'm here to help.

Pulp_Fiction 121.
If my help's not appreciated, lotsa

luck gentlemen.
JULES
It ain't that way, Mr. Wolf. Your
help is definitely appreciated.
VINCENT
I don't mean any disrespect. I just
don't like people barkin' orders at
me.
THE WOLF
If I'm curt with you, it's because
time is a factor. I think fast, I
talk fast, and I need you guys to
act fast if you want to get out of
this. So pretty please, with sugar
jp
on top, clean the fuckin' car.
86 INT. JIMMIE'S BEDROOM – MORNING 86

JIMMIE
You gotta understand something,
Winston. I want to help you guys out

and all, but that's my best linen.

It was a wedding present from my
Uncle Conrad and Aunt Ginny, and
they ain't with us anymore –
THE WOLF

don't mind?
JIMMIE
Sure.
THE WOLF
Were you Uncle Conrad and Aunt Ginny
millionaires?
JIMMIE
No.
jp
THE WOLF
Well, your Uncle Marsellus is. And
I'm positive if Uncle Conrad and
Aunt Ginny were millionaires, they

would've furnished you with a whole
bedroom set, which your Uncle
Marsellus is more than happy to do.

my bedroom. How 'bout you Jimmie,
you an oak man?
JIMMIE

Oak's nice.
87 INT. GARAGE – MORNING 87
Both Jules and Vincent are inside the car cleaning it up.
Vincent is in the front seat washing windows, while Jules is
in the backseat, picking up little pieces of skull and gobs
of brain. Both are twice as bloody as they were before.
JULES
I will never forgive your ass for
this shit. This is some fucked-up
repugnant shit!
VINCENT
Did you ever hear the philosophy
that once a man admits he's wrong,
he's immediately forgiven for all
wrong-doings?

Pulp_Fiction 123.
JULES
Man, get outta my face with that
shit! The motherfucker who said that
never had to pick up itty-bitty
pieces of skull with his fingers on
account of your dumb ass.
VINCENT
I got a threshold, Jules. I got a
threshold for the abuse I'll take.
And you're crossin' it. I'm a race
car and you got me in the red.
Redline 7000, that's where you are.
Just know, it's fuckin' dangerous to
be drivin' a race car when it's in
the red. It could blow.
JULES
jp
You're gettin' ready to blow? I'm a
mushroom-cloud-layin' motherfucker!
Every time my fingers touch brain
I'm "SUPERFLY T.N.T," I'm the "GUNS
OF NAVARONE." I'm what Jimmie Walker
ku
usta talk about. In fact, what the
fuck am I doin' in the back? You're

detail. We're tradin'. I'm washin'
windows and you're pickin' up this
nigger's skull.

88 INT. CHEVY NOVA – MORNING 88

The interior of the car has been cleaned and lined with
bedspreads and quilts. Believe it or not, what looked like a
portable slaughterhouse can actually pass for a non-descript
vehicle.
The Wolf circles the car examining it.
Jules and Vincent stand aside, their clothes are literally a

bloody mess, but they do have a sense of pride in what a good
job they've done.
THE WOLF
Fine job, gentlemen. We may get out
of this yet.

89 EXT. JIMMIE'S BACKYARD – MORNING 89

Jules and Vincent stand side by side in their black suits,
covered in blood, in Jimmie's backyard. Jimmie holds a
plastic Hefty trash bag, while The Wolf holds a garden hose
with one of those guns nossles attached.

shit.
ar
VINCENT

necessary?
THE WOLF
You know what you two look like?

Like a couple of guys who just blew
off somebody's head. Yes, strippin'
off those bloody rags is absolutely
necessary. Toss the clothes in Jim's
garbage bag.

like puttin' that out in front of

Jimmie tosses them each a towel, which they rub furiously

across their bodies.

I'm cool, Mr. Wolf. My gun just went
off, I dunno how.
THE WOLF
Fair enough.

The Wolf smiles.
WINSTON
Call me Winston.
He turns and banters with Raquel as they get in the Porsche.
WINSTON
You hear that, young lady? Respect.

Jules and Vincent sit at a booth. In front of Vincent is a

A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin
pie. I'll never know 'cause even if
it did, I wouldn't eat the filthy
motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in

got enough sense to disregard its
own feces.

How about dogs? Dogs eat their own
feces.
JULES
I don't eat dog either.
VINCENT

Yes, but do you consider a dog to be
a filthy animal?
JULES
I wouldn't go so far as to call a

dirty. But a dog's got personality.
And personality goes a long way.
VINCENT
So by that rationale, if a pig had a
m
better personality, he's cease to be
a filthy animal?
JULES
ar
We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one

motherfuckin' charmin' pig. It'd
have to be the Cary Grant of pigs.
The two men laugh.

VINCENT
Good for you. Lighten up a little.
You been sittin' there all quiet.
JULES
I just been sittin' here thinkin'.
VINCENT
(mouthful of food)
About what?
JULES
The miracle we witnessed.
VINCENT

Pulp_Fiction 131.
The miracle you witnessed. I

witnessed a freak occurrence.
JULES
Do you know that a miracle is?
VINCENT
An act of God.
JULES
What's an act of God?
VINCENT
I guess it's when God makes the
impossible possible. And I'm sorry
Jules, but I don't think what
happened this morning qualifies.
jp
JULES
Don't you see, Vince, that shit
don't matter. You're judging this
thing the wrong way. It's not about
what. It could be God stopped the
ku
bullets, he changed Coke into Pepsi,
he found my fuckin' car keys. You
don't judge shit like this based on
merit. Whether or not what we
experienced was an according-to-
Hoyle miracle is insignificant. What
m
is significant is I felt God's
touch, God got involved.
VINCENT
ar
But why?
JULES
That's what's fuckin' wit' me! I
don't know why. But I can't go back
to sleep.
VINCENT
So you're serious, you're really
gonna quit?
JULES
The life, most definitely.
Vincent takes a bite of food. Jules takes a sip of coffee In

the b.g., we see a PATRON call the Waitress.
PATRON
Garcon! Coffee!

Pulp_Fiction 132.
We recognize the patron to be Pumpkin from the first scene of

Pumpkin and Honey Bunny.
VINCENT
So if you're quitting the life,
what'll you do?
JULES
That's what I've been sitting here
contemplating. First, I'm gonna
deliver this case to Marsellus.
Then, basically, I'm gonna walk the
earth.
VINCENT
What do you mean, walk the earth?
JULES
jp
You know, like Caine in "KUNG FU."
Just walk from town to town, meet
people, get in adventures.
VINCENT
ku
How long do you intend to walk the
earth?
JULES
Until God puts me where he want me
to be.
m
VINCENT
What if he never does?
ar
JULES
If it takes forever, I'll wait
forever.
VINCENT
So you decided to be a bum?
JULES
I'll just be Jules, Vincent – no
more, no less.
VINCENT
No Jules, you're gonna be like those
pieces of shit out there who beg for
change. They walk around like a
bunch of fuckin' zombies, they sleep
in garbage bins, they eat what I
throw away, and dogs piss on 'em.
They got a word for 'em, they're
called bums. And without a job,
residence, or legal tender, that's

Pulp_Fiction 133.
what you're gonna be – a fuckin'

bum!
JULES
Look my friend, this is just where
me and you differ –
VINCENT
– what happened was peculiar – no
doubt about it – but it wasn't water
into wine.
JULES
All shapes and sizes, Vince.
VINCENT
Stop fuckin' talkin' like that!
jp
JULES
If you find my answers frightening,
Vincent, you should cease askin'
scary questions.
ku
VINCENT
I gotta take a shit. To be
continued.
Vincent exitsfor the restroom.

m
Jules, alone, takes a mouthful of muffin, then... Pumpkin and
Honey Bunny rise with guns raised.
PUMPKIN
ar
Everybody be cool, this is a

robbery!
HONEY BUNNY
Any of you fuckin' pricks move and
I'll execute every one of you
motherfuckers! Got that?!
Jules looks up, not believing what he's seeing. Under the
table, Jules' hand goes to his .45 Automatic. He pulls it
out, COCKING IT.
PUMPKIN
Customers stay seated, waitresses on
the floor.
HONEY BUNNY
Now mean fuckin' now! Do it or die,
do it or fucking die!

Pulp_Fiction 134.
Like lightning, Pumpkin moves over to the kitchen. While

Honey Bunny SCREAMS out threats to the PATRONS, keeping them
terrified.
PUMPKIN
You Mexicans in the kitchen, get out
here! Asta luego!
Three COOKS and two BUSBOYS come out of the kitchen.

PUMPKIN
On the floor or I'll cook you ass,
comprende?
They comprende. The portly MANAGER speaks up.
MANAGER
I'm the manager here, there's no
jp
problem, no problem at all –
Pumpkin head his way.

PUMPKIN
ku
You're gonna give me a problem?
He reaches him and sticks the barrel of his gun hard in the
Manager's neck.
PUMPKIN
m
What? You said you're gonna give me
a problem?
MANAGER
ar
No, I'm not. I'm not gonna give you

any problem!
PUMPKIN I don't know, Honey Bunny. He looks like the hero
type to me!
HONEY BUNNY
Don't take any chances. Execute him!
The Patrons SCREAM. Jules watches all this silently, his hand
tightly gripping the .45 Automatic under the table.
MANAGER
Please don't! I'm not a hero. I'm
just a coffee shop manager. Take
anything you want.
PUMPKIN
Tell everyone to cooperate and it'll
be all over.

Pulp_Fiction 135.
MANAGER
Everybody just be calm and cooperate
with them and this will be all over
soon!
PUMPKIN
Well done, now git your fuckin' ass
on the ground.
93 INT. COFFEE SHOP BATHROOM – MORNING 93
Vincent, on the toilet, oblivious to the pandemonium outside,

reads his "MODESTY BLAISE" book.

jp
Cash register drawer opens. Pumpkin stuffs the money from the
till in his pocket. Then walks from behind the counter with a
trash bag in his hand.
PUMPKIN
ku
Okay people, I'm going to go 'round
and collect your wallets. Don't
talk, just toss 'em in the bag. We
clear?
Pumpkin goes around collecting wallets. Jules sits with his
m
.45 ready to spit under the table.
Pumpkin sees Jules sitting in his booth, holding his wallet,

briefcase next to him. Pumpkin crosses to him, his tone more
ar
respectful, him manner more on guard.

PUMPKIN
In the bag.
Jules DROPS his wallet in the bag. Using his gun as a

pointer, Pumpkin points to the briefcase.
PUMPKIN
What's in that?
JULES My boss' dirty laundry.
PUMPKIN
You boss makes you do his laundry?
JULES
When he wants it clean.
PUMPKIN
Sounds like a shit job.

Pulp_Fiction 136.
JULES
Funny, I've been thinkin' the same
thing.
PUMPKIN
Open it up.
Jules' free hand lays palm flat on the briefcase.

JULES
'Fraid I can't do that.
Pumpkin is definitely surprised by his answer. He aims the
gun right in the middle of Jules' face and pulls back the
hammer.
PUMPKIN
I didn't hear you.
jp
JULES
Yes, you did.
This exchange has been kind of quiet, not everybody heard it,
ku
but Honey Bunny senses something's wrong.
HONEY BUNNY
What's goin' on?
PUMPKIN
m
Looks like we got a vigilante in our
midst.
HONEY BUNNY
ar
Shoot 'em in the face!

JULES
I don't mean to shatter your ego,
but this ain't the first time I've
had gun pointed at me.
PUMPKIN
You don't open up that case, it's
gonna be the last.
MANAGER
(on the ground)
Quit causing problems, you'll get us
all killed! Give 'em what you got
and get 'em out of here.
JULES Keep your fuckin' mouth closed, fat man, this ain't any
of your goddamn business!
PUMPKIN

Pulp_Fiction 137.
I'm countin' to three, and if your

hand ain't off that case, I'm gonna
unload right in your fuckin' face.
Clear? One...
PUMPKIN
... two... three.
JULES
You win.
Jules raises his hand off the briefcase.
JULES
It's all yours, Ringo.
PUMPKIN
Open it.
jp
Jules flips the locks and opens the case, revealing it to
Pumpkin but not to us. The same light SHINES from the case.
Pumpkin's expression goes to amazement. Honey Bunny, across
the room, can't see shit.
ku
HONEY BUNNY
What is it? What is it?
PUMPKIN
(softly)
m
Is that what I think it is?
Jules nods his head: "yes."
ar
PUMPKIN
It's beautiful.
Jules nods his head: "yes."

HONEY BUNNY
Goddammit, what is it?
Jules SLAMS the case closed, then sits back, as if offering

the case to Pumpkin. Pumpkin, one big smile, bends over to
pick up the case.
Like a rattlesnake, Jules' free hand GRABS the wrist of

Pumpkin's gun hand, SLAMMING it on the table. His other hand
comes from under the table and STICKS the barrel of his .45
hand under Pumpkin's chin.
Honey Bunny freaks out, waving his gun in Jules' direction.
HONEY BUNNY

Pulp_Fiction 138.
Let him go! Let him go! I'll blow

your fuckin' head off! I'll kill ya!
I'll kill ya! You're gonna die,
you're gonna fuckin' die bad!
JULES
(to Pumpkin)
Tell that bitch to be cool! Say,
bitch be cool! Say, bitch be cool!
PUMPKIN
Chill out, honey!
HONEY BUNNY
Let him go!
JULES
(softly)
jp
Tell her it's gonna be okay.
PUMPKIN
I'm gonna be okay.
ku
JULES
Promise her.
PUMPKIN
I promise.
m
JULES
Tell her to chill.
PUMPKIN
ar
Just chill out.

JULES
What's her name?
PUMPKIN
Yolanda.
Whenever Jules talks to Yolanda, he never looks at her, only
at Pumpkin.
JULES
(to Yolanda)
So, we cool Yolanda? We ain't gonna
do anything stupid, are we?
YOLANDA
(crying)
Don't you hurt him.
JULES

Pulp_Fiction 139.
Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're

gonna be like three Fonzies. And
what' Fonzie like?
No answer.
JULES
C'mon Yolanda, what's Fonzie like?
YOLANDA
(through tears, unsure)
He's cool?
JULES
Correct-amundo! And that's what
we're gonna be, we're gonna be cool.
(to Pumpkin)
Now Ringo, I'm gonna count to three
jp
and I want you to let go your gun
and lay your palms flat on the
table. But when you do it, do it
cool. Ready?
ku
Pumpkin looks at him.
JULES
One... two... three.
Pumpkin lets go of his gun and places both hands on the

m
table. Yolanda can't stand it anymore.
YOLANDA
Okay, now let him go!
ar
JULES
Yolanda, I thought you were gonna be
cool. When you yell at me, it makes
me nervous. When I get nervous, I
get scared. And when motherfuckers
get scared, that's when
motherfuckers get accidentally shot.
YOLANDA
(more conversational)
Just know: you hurt him, you die.
JULES
That seems to be the situation. Now
I don't want that and you don't want
that and Ringo here don't want that.
So let's see what we can do.
(to Ringo)
Now this is the situation. Normally
both of your asses would be dead as

Pulp_Fiction 140.
fuckin' fried chicken. But you

appened to pull this shit while I'm
in a transitional period. I don't
wanna kill ya, I want to help ya.
But I'm afraid I can't give you the
case. It don't belong to me.
Besides, I went through too much
shit this morning on account of this
case to just hand it over to your
ass.
VINCENT (O.S.)
What the fuck's goin' on here?
Yolanda WHIPS her gun toward the stranger.
Vincent, by the bathroom, has his gun out, dead-aimed at

Yolanda.
jp
JULES
It's cool, Vincent! It's cool! Don't
do a goddamn thing. Yolanda, it's
cool baby, nothin's changed. We're
ku
still just talkin'.
(to Pumpkin)
Tell her we're still cool.
PUMPKIN
It's cool, Honey Bunny, we're still
m
cool.
VINCENT
(gun raised)
ar
What the hell's goin' on, Jules?
JULES
Nothin' I can't handle. I want you
to just hang back and don't do shit
unless it's absolutely necessary.
VINCENT
Check.
JULES
Yolanda, how we doin, baby?
YOLANDA
I gotta go pee! I want to go home.
JULES
Just hang in there, baby, you're
doing' great,Ringo's proud of you
and so am I. It's almost over.
(to Pumpkin)

Pulp_Fiction 141.
Now I want you to go in that bag and

find my wallet.
PUMPKIN
Which one is it?
JULES
It's the one that says Bad
Motherfucker on it.
Pumpkin looks in the bag and – sure enough – there's a wallet
with "Bad Motherfucker" embroidered on it.
JULES
That's my bad motherfucker. Now open
it up and take out the cash. How
much is there?
jp
PUMPKIN
About fifteen hundred dollars.
JULES
Put it in your pocket, it's yours.
ku
Now with the rest of them wallets
and the register, that makes this a
pretty successful little score.
VINCENT
Jules, if you give this nimrod
m
fifteen hundred buck, I'm gonna
shoot 'em on general principle.
JULES
ar
You ain't gonna do a goddamn thing,

now hang back and shut the fuck up.
Besides, I ain't givin' it to him.
I'm buyin' somethin' for my money.
Wanna know what I'm buyin' Ringo?
PUMPKIN
What?
JULES
Your life. I'm givin' you that money
so I don't hafta kill your ass. You
read the Bible?
PUMPKIN
Not regularly.
JULES
There's a passage I got memorized.
Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the
righteous man is beset on all sides

Pulp_Fiction 142.
by the inequities of the selfish and

the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is
he who, in the name of charity and
good will, shepherds the weak
through the valley of the darkness.
For he is truly his brother's keeper
and the finder of lost children. And
I will strike down upon thee with
great vengeance and furious anger
those who attempt to poison and
destroy my brothers. And you will
know I am the Lord when I lay my
vengeance upon you."I been sayin'
that shit for years. And if you ever
heard it, it meant your ass. I never
really questioned what it meant. I
thought it was just a cold- blooded
thing to say to a motherfucker 'fore
jp
you popped a cap in his ass. But I
saw some shit this mornin' made me
think twice. Now I'm thinkin', it
could mean you're the evil man. And
I'm the righteous man. And Mr. .45
ku
here, he's the shepherd protecting
my righteous ass in the valley of
darkness. Or is could by you're the
righteous man and I'm the shepherd
and it's the world that's evil and
selfish. I'd like that. But that
m
shit ain't the truth. The truth is
you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny
of evil men. But I'm tryin'. I'm
tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.
ar
Jules lowers his gun, lying it on the table.

Pumpkin looks at him, to the money in his hand, then to
Yolanda. She looks back.
Grabbing the trash bag full of wallets, the two RUN out the
door.
Jules, who was never risen from his seat the whole time,
takes a sip of coffee.
JULES
(to himself)
It's cold.
He pushes it aside.
Vincent appears next to Jules.
VINCENT

Pulp_Fiction 143.
I think we oughta leave now.
JULES
That's probably a good idea.
Vincent throws some money on the table and Jules grabs the
briefcase.
Then, to the amazement of the Patrons, the Waitresses, the
Cooks, the Bus Boys, and the Manager, these two bad-ass dudes
– wearing UC Santa Cruz and "I'm with Stupid" tee-shirts,
swim trunks, thongs and packing .45 Automatics – walk out of
the coffee shop together without saying a word.
FADE OUT
THE END
