#3. Business Issue

JULES: Hey kids. How you boys doin'?

JULES: Hey, keep chillin'. You know who we are?

We're associates of your business partner Marsellus Wallace.

You do remember your business partner, don't you?

Now I'm gonna take a wild guess here. You're Brett, right?

BRETT: Yeah.

JULES: I thought so. You remember your business partner Marsellus Wallace,

don't you, Brett?

BRETT: Yeah, I remember.

JULES: Good. Looks like me and Vincent caught you boys at breakfast. Sorry about that. Whatcha havin'?

BRETT: Hamburgers.

JULES: Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.

What kind of hamburgers?

BRETT: Cheeseburgers.

JULES: No, no. Where did you get them? MacDonald's, Wendy's, Jack-in-the- Box. Where?

BRETT: Uh, 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?

BRETT: They're good.

JULES: You mind if I try one of yours?

JULES: This is yours here, right?

BRETT: Yeah.

JULES: Uuummmm! This is a tasty burger. Vincent!

You ever had a Big Kahuna Burger? Wanna bite? They're real tasty.

VINCENT: I ain't hungry.

JULES: Well, if you like burgers, give 'em a try sometime. Me, I can't usually eat 'em 'cause my girlfriend's a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. But I do love the taste of a good burger.Mmmm. You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in France?

BRETT: No.

JULES: Tell 'em, Vincent.

VINCENT: A Royale with Cheese.

JULES: A Royale with Cheese! You know why they call it that?

BRETT: Uh, because of the metric system?

JULES: Check out the big brain on Brett! You'a smart motherfucker. That's right. The metric system. What's in this?

BRETT: Sprite.

JULES: Sprite. Good. You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down with?

BRETT: Go right ahead.

JULES: That hit the spot! You, Flock of Seagulls, you know why we're here?

JULES: Why don't you tell my man Vince here, where you got the shit hid.

MARVIN: It's over...

JULES: I don't remember askin' you a goddamn thing! You were sayin'?

ROGER: It's in the cupboard. No, the one by your knees.

JULES: We happy?

JULES: Vincent!

JULES: We happy?

VINCENT: Yeah, we happy.

BRETT: Look, I'm sorry, I didn't get your name. I got yours. Vincent.

Right?

But I never got yours.

JULES: My name's Pitt, and you ass ain't talkin' your way outta this shit.

BRETT: No, no, no. I just want you to know... I just want you to know how sorry we are, that things got so fucked up... With us and Mr. Wallace. We get into this thing with the best intentions. Really. I never...

JULES: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue. You were saying something about best intentions.

JULES: What's the matter? Oh, you were finished. Well, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?

JULES: What country you from!

BRETT: What?

JULES: "What" ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in "What?"

BRETT: What?

JULES: English,motherfucker! Do you speak it?

BRETT: Yes.

JULES: Then you know what I'm sayin'?

BRETT: Yes.

JULES: Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!

BRETT: What?

JULES: Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What" again! I dare ya, I double dare ya motherfucker, say "What" one more goddamn time!

JULES: Now describe to me what Marsellus Wallace looks like!

BRETT: Well he's... he's... black...

JULES: Go on!

BRETT: He's bald!

JULES: Does he look like a bitch? ! BRETT: What? JULES: Does-he-look-like-a-bitch? ! BRETT: No! JULES: Then why did you tryin' to fuck him like a bitch? ! BRETT: I didn't. JULES: Yes, you did. Yes, you did, Brett! You tried to fuck him. But Marsellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anybody except Mrs. Wallace. You read the Bible, Brett?

BRETT: Yes.

JULES: There's a passage I got memorized. Sort of fits this occasion. 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 thee."

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. Béni soit celui qui, au nom de la charité et de la bonne volonté, fait paître les faibles à travers la vallée des ténèbres, car il est vraiment le gardien de son frère et le découvreur des enfants perdus. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. Et j'abattrai sur toi avec une grande vengeance et une colère furieuse ceux qui tentent d'empoisonner et de détruire mes frères. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." Et tu sauras que mon nom est le Seigneur quand j'exercerai ma vengeance sur toi."
