With the exception of Face/Off, he should have went back into hiding.

No fvcking way. This was one of his greatest roles. He was perfect for that role and he played it very well.

I'm talking about AFTER Pulp Fiction, Face/Off was the only highlight. I liked him in Pulp Fiction.

My bad. I didn't see Face Off. He pretty much sucked after Pulp Fiction though from the movies I've seen.

It has some very good parts, but it could do without the taxi driver scene and Willis' annoying girlfriend.

"Pulp Fiction" script

CAPT. KOONS
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 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-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 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 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 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.

Vincent: You want some bacon?

Jules: No, man, I don't eat pork.

Vincent: Are you Jewish?

Jules: No, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.

Vincent: Why not?

Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.

Vincent: But bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good...

Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfvckers. Pigs sleep and root in sh!t, that's a filthy animal. I don't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.

Great, but only parts of it are worth watching again. For instance, Travolta & Uma=boring as shit, and if I can't fast-forward through it, I turn the channel. But the entire Travolta-Jackson and Willis-Ving lines are always great no matter how many times I see it. Some of the lines are the best in film history (ranking right up there with Eastwood's many), like:

"Its the one that says 'Bad Motherfucker'".

"...I'd like that, but that sh*t ain't the truth. The truth is, you're the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men."

I didn't get it. I closed DiVX around 3/4 through, during Uma/Travolta. Did I miss some great revelatory moment?
