Quote #7
MARSELLUS: I'm gonna call a couple pipe- hittin' n*****s, who'll go to work on homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. Hear me talkin' hillbilly boy?! I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'm gonna git medieval on your ass.
Marsellus is a connoisseur of violence. He's got all kinds of ways to send a bloody message.
Quote #8
VINCENT: Marvin, what do you make of all this?
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 gun goes off. The bullet strikes Marvin's head, killing him, and spraying blood everywhere.)
When you read the scene like this, it sounds horrific, but if you remember watching it then you know it's actually funny. Huh? How can this graphic killing of an innocent young man be funny? It's about the context of the killing, the casual conversation, the shocking suddenness and, most importantly, Vincent and Jules' reactions. They act like Vincent accidentally spilled his morning coffee all over the car seat, not shot some poor kid.
