Dialogue

Bill: Elle, you're going to abort the mission. Elle Driver: What?! Bill: We owe her better than that. Elle Driver: [screaming] Oh, you don't owe her shit! Bill: Will you keep your voice down? Elle Driver: [quietly] You don't owe her shit. Bill: May I say one thing? Elle Driver: Speak. Bill: Y'all beat the hell out of that woman, but you didn't kill her. And I put a bullet in her head, but her heart just kept on beatin'. Now, you saw that yourself with your own beautiful blue eye, did you not? We've done a lot of things to this lady; and if she ever wakes up, we'll do a whole lot more. But one thing we won't do is sneak into her room in the night like a filthy rat and kill her in her sleep. And the reason we won't do that thing is because... that thing would lower us. Don't you agree, Miss Driver? Elle Driver: I guess. Bill: Do you really have to guess? Elle Driver: [sighs] No. I don't really have to guess. I know.

Dialogue

Earl McGraw: Son Number 1? Son Number 1: Yeah? Earl McGraw: This tall drink of blonde cocksucker ain't dead.

Dialogue

Earl McGraw: Who's the bride? Edgar McGraw: Don't know. The name on the marriage certificate is "Arlene Machiavelli." That's a fake. We've all just been calling her "The Bride" on account of the dress. Earl McGraw: You can tell she was pregnant. Man'd have to be a mad dog to shoot a goddamn good-looking gal like that in the head. Look at her. Hay-colored hair, big eyes. She's a little blood-spattered angel.

Dialogue

Vernita: So I suppose it's a little late for an apology, huh? The Bride: You suppose correctly. Vernita: Look, bitch...I need to know if you're going to start any more shit around my baby girl. The Bride: You can relax for now. I'm not going to murder you in front of your child, okay? Vernita: That's being more rational than Bill led me to believe you were capable of. The Bride: It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality. Vernita: Look. I know I fucked you over. I fucked you over bad. I wish to God I hadn't, but I did. You have every right to want to get even. The Bride: No, no, no, no, no. No, to get even, even-Steven? I would have to kill you...go up to Nikki's room, kill her...then wait for your husband, the good Dr. Bell, to come home and kill him. That would be even, Vernita. That'd be about square. [draws a square in the air with a finger]

Dialogue

Vernita: Look, if I could go back in a machine, I would. But I can't. All can tell you is that I'm a different person now. The Bride: Oh great. I don't care. Vernita: Be that as it may, I know I don't deserve your mercy or your forgiveness. However, I beseech you for both on behalf of my daughter. The Bride: Bitch. You can stop right there. Just because I have no wish to murder you before the eyes of your daughter does not mean parading her around in front of me is going to inspire sympathy. You and I have unfinished business. And not a goddamn fucking thing you've done in the subsequent four years including getting knocked up is going to change that. Vernita: So when do we do this? The Bride: It all depends. When do you want to die? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Vernita: How about tonight, bitch? The Bride: Splendid. Where? Vernita: There's a baseball diamond where I coach Little League about a mile from here. We meet there around two-thirty in the morning dressed all in black. Yo

Japanese Businessman: Do you like Ferraris? Gogo Yubari: Ferrari? Italian trash. [smacks down beverage bottle] Do you want to screw me? Gogo: Don't laugh! Do you want to screw me, yes or no? Businessman: Yes. Gogo: How about now, big boy? Do you still wish to penetrate me? Or is it I … who has penetrated you? The Bride: See what I mean?

[in Japanese] One warm sake. Sushi Bar Assistant: [in Japanese] Sake? In the middle of the day? Hattori Hanzo: [in Japanese] Day, night, afternoon, who gives a damn? Get the sake. Sushi Bar Assistant: [in Japanese] How come I always have to get the sake? You listen well … for thirty years, you make the fish, I get the sake. If this were the military, I'd be General by now. Hattori Hanzo: [in Japanese] Oh, so you'd be General, huh? If you were General, I'd be Emperor, and you'd still get the sake. So shut up and get the sake. [in English] Do you understand?

The Bride: [in Japanese] Our reputations precede us. Gogo: [in Japanese] Don't they? The Bride: [in English] Gogo, I know you feel you must protect your mistress. But I beg you, walk away. Gogo: [giggles girlishly, in Japanese] You call that begging? [serious tone] You can beg better than that.

Dialogue

The Bride: [hearing the approach of the Crazy 88's] Is that what I think it is? O-Ren: You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did you? The Bride: You know, for a second there ... yeah, I kinda did. O-Ren: Silly rabbit. The Bride: Trix are for... O-Ren: ...kids.

Dialogue

O-Ren: [in English] Your instrument is quite impressive. [in Japanese] Where was it made? The Bride: [in English] Okinawa. O-Ren: [in Japanese] Whom in Okinawa made you this steel? The Bride: [in English] This is Hattori Hanzo steel. O-Ren: [in Japanese] YOU LIE! [the Bride shakes her head and turns her sword, showing Hattori Hanzo's stamp] Mmm-hmm. Swords, however, never get tired. I hope you saved your energy. If you haven't... You might not last five minutes. But as last looks go, you could do worse.

Dialogue
