The: [voiceover narration] As I lay in the back of Buck's truck, trying to will my limbs out of entropy, I could see the faces of the cunts that did this to me and the dicks responsible.

Buck: Price is $75 a fuck, my friend. You getting your freak on, or what?
Trucker: Oh yeah, boy.
[gives Buck the money]
Buck: Now here are the rules. Rule Number One: no punching her. The nurse comes in tomorrow and she got a shiner or less some teeth, jig's up. So, no knuckle sandwiches under no circumstances. And by the way, this little cunt's a spitter. It's a motor-reflex thing. But spit or not, no punching. Now, are we absolutely, positively clear on Rule Number One?
Trucker: Yeah.
Buck: Good. Now, Rule Number Two: no monkey bites, and no hickeys. In fact, no leaving no marks of any kind on her. After that, it's all good, buddy. Now, her plumbing down there don't work no more, so feel free to come in her all you want. Keep the noise down, try not to make a mess. I'll be back in twenty.
[Buck starts to leave, but snaps his fingers and turns back]
Buck: Oh, shit! By the way, not every time but sometimes this chick's cooch will get drier than a bucket of sand. If she's dry, just lube up with this,

Buck: and you'll be good to go. Bon Appetite, good buddy.

[flashback]
The: As I said before, I've allowed you to keep your wicked life for two reasons. And the second reason is so you can tell him in person everything that happened here tonight.

Hattori: [in Japanese; subtitled] I am finished doing what I swore an oath to God 28 years ago to never do again. I've created, "something that kills people." And in that purpose, I was a success. I've done this because, philosophically, I am sympathetic to your aim. I can tell you with no ego, this is my finest sword. If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut.

- She must suffer to her last breath.

Boss: My father...
[to Benta]
Boss: along with yours...
[to Ozawah]
Boss: and along with yours, started this council. And while you laugh like stupid donkeys, they weep in the afterlife over the perversion committed today.
Boss: Outrageous! Tanaka, it is you who insults this council!
[Throws rag at him]
Boss: Bastard!
Boss: [Throws rag back] Fuck face!

[slam]
Buck: I-I don't know who Bill is!
The: BULLSHIT!
[another slam; then she notices the words "BUCK" and "FUCK" tattooed on his knuckles, and suddenly has a flashback from her coma]
Buck: Well, ain't you the little slice of cutie pie they said you were. "Jane Doe," huh? Well, we don't know shit about you, huh? Well, I'm from Huntsville, Texas. My name is Buck, and I'm here to fuck, ha-ha-ha...
[back to the present]
The: [gently] Your name is Buck, right?

The: [getting angrier] And you came here to fuck, *right*?
Buck: Wait a minute... WAIT A MINUTE-!
[and: ]
The: "Pussy Wagon." You *fucker*...
[one last slam]

Sushi: [in Japanese] I'm not bald, okay? I shaved my head.
Sushi: [in English] Understand?

- Yeah.
- Oh, shit.
- By the way, not all the time, but sometimes this chick's cooch can get drier than a bucket of sand.

The: You know, for a second there, yeah, I kinda did.

Earl: Well, this is definitely the work of professionals. I'd guess-timate Mexican Mafia hit squad. Four, maybe five strong.
Edgar: How can you tell?
Earl: Well, a sure and steady hand did this. This ain't no squirrelly amateur. This is the work of a salty dog. You can tell by the cleanliness of the carnage. Now a kill-crazy rampage though it may be, all the colors are kept within the lines. If you was a moron, you could almost admire it.

O: [sword lifted] Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with Samurai swords.
[as The Bride gasps]
O: You may not be able to fight like a Samurai, but you can at least die like a Samurai.
The: [stands up] Attack me... with everything you have.

Earl: Son number one?
Edgar: Yeah?
Earl: This tall drink of cocksucker ain't dead.

[first lines]
Bill: Do you find me sadistic? You know, I bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to. You know, Kiddo, I'd like to believe that you're aware enough even now to know that there's nothing sadistic in my actions. Well, maybe towards those other... jokers, but not you. No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most...
[cocks pistol]
Bill: masochistic.
The: Bill... it's your baby...
[BLAM!]

Sushi: [Japanese] What'd ya want?
The: [English] I beg your pardon?
Hattori: [English] Oh..."drink"

The: [English] Oh, yes, a bottle of warm sake please.
Hattori: [English] Warm sake? VERY GOOD.
Hattori: [Japanese] One warm sake.
Sushi: [Japanese] Sake? In the middle of the day?
Hattori: [Japanese] Day, night, afternoon, who gives a damn? Get the sake!
Sushi: [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: [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!
Hattori: [English] Do you understand?

Elle: Hello, Bill.
Bill: What's her condition?
Elle: Comatose.
Bill: Where is she?
Elle: I'm standing over her right now.
Bill: That's my girl. Elle, you're gonna have to abort the mission.
Elle: WHAT?
Bill: We owe her better than that.
Elle: NO YOU DON'T! YOU DON'T OWE HER SHIT!
Bill: Will you keep your voice down?
Elle: [whispering] You don't owe her shit!
Bill: May I say one thing?
Elle: 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: I guess.
Bill: Do you really have to guess?
Elle: [sighs] No. I don't really have to guess. I know.
Bill: Come on home, honey.
Elle: Affirmative.
Bill: I love you very much.
Elle: I love you, too. Bye-bye.

O: [in Japanese; subtitled] Look at me, Matsumoto. Take a good look at my face. Look at my eyes. Do I look familiar? Do I look like somebody... you murdered?

- Well, maybe towards those other jokers.
- But not you.
- No, kiddo.
- At this moment... this is me at my most masochistic.
- Bill, it's your baby.

- It was not my intention to do this in front of you.
- For that, I'm sorry.
- But you can take my word for it.
- Your mother had it coming.

[last lines]
Bill: One more thing, Sofie... is she aware her daughter is still alive?

The: [in Japanese] Those of you lucky enough to have your lives, take them with you. However, leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me now.
[in English]
The: Except you, Sofie! You stay right where you are!

Hattori: What brings you to Okinawa?
The: I'm here to see a man.
Hattori: Oh yeah? You have a friend living in Okinawa?
The: Not quite.
Hattori: Not a friend?
The: I've never met him.
Hattori: Never? Who is he, may I ask?
The: Hattori Hanzo.
Hattori: [Serious, switches to Japanese] What do you want with Hattori Hanzo?
The: [Japanese] I need Japanese steel.
Hattori: [Japanese] Why do you need Japanese steel?
The: [Japanese] I have vermin to kill.
Hattori: [English] You must have big rats if you need Hattori Hanzo's steel.
The: [English] ... Huge.

- Welcome to Air O.
- May I help you?
- Okinawa.
- One-way.

Vernita: [somewhat to herself, as she gets her daughter's cereal] Black Mamba. I shoulda been motherfuckin' Black Mamba.

- I don't really have to guess.
- I know.
- Come on home, honey.
- Affirmative.
- I love you very much.
- I love you, too.
- Bye-bye.

Hattori: [in Japanese; voice-over] For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion. Kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself. This truth lies at the heart of the art of combat.

Hattori: Revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, And like a forest it's easy to lose your way... To get lost... To forget where you came in.

- in Tokyo, Japan.
- The half-Japanese, half-Chinese
- American Army brat made her first acquaintance with death at the age of 9.
- It was at that age she witnessed the death of her parents at the hands of Japan's most ruthless yakuza boss, Boss Matsumoto.

Copperhead: So I suppose it's a little late for an apology, huh?
The: You suppose correctly.
Copperhead: Look, bitch... I need to know if you're going to start any more shit around my baby girl.
The: You can relax for now. I'm not going to murder you in front of your child, okay?
Copperhead: That's being more rational than Bill led me to believe you were capable of.
The: It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality.
Copperhead: 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: 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.

O: [after she cuts off Tanaka's head, in Japanese] So you all will know the seriousness of my warning, I shall say this in English.
O: [in English] As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced that a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you and I promise you right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is... I collect your fucking head. Just like this fucker here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the fucking time!
[pause]
O: I didn't think so.
O: [calmly, in Japanese] Gentlemen, this meeting is adjourned.

- You can sleep here.
- It will take me a month...
- ...to make the sword.
- I suggest you spend it practicing.

The: Then give me one of these.
Hattori: They're not for sale.
The: I didn't say "sell me", I said "give me".
Hattori: [laughs] Why should I help you?
The: Because my vermin is a former student of yours. And considering the student, I'd say you have a rather *large* obligation.
[long pause, then Hanzo walks to the window and writes Bill's name]
Hattori: [in Japanese] You can sleep here. It will take me a month to make the sword. I suggest you spend it practicing.

Proprietor: [in Japanese; subtitled] You have to say, "Yes, yes, yes" to any selfish demands they make.
Charlie: [in Japanese] They demand ridiculous things.
Proprietor: Shut up! Do you know what would happen if they heard you?
Charlie: What's gonna happen?
Proprietor: Did you hear about the Tanaka clan? You're gonna get your head cut off.
Charlie: No, I don't want that.

[after Bill tells her not to kill The Bride]
Elle: Thought that was pretty fuckin' funny, didn't you? Word of advice, shithead - don't you ever wake up.

- I didn't say "sell me."
- I said "give me."
- Why should I help you?
- Because my vermin is a former student of yours.
- And considering the student,
- I'd say you have a rather large obligation.

- Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with samurai swords.
- You may not be able to fight like a samurai.
- But you can at least die like a samurai.

Bill: At this moment, this is me at my most masochistic.

Copperhead: 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: Oh great. I don't care.
Copperhead: 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: Bitch, you can stop right there. Just because I have no wish to murder you in front of your daughter doesn't mean that parading her around in front of me will inspire sympathy. You and I have unfinished business. And not a goddamned thing you've done in the subsequent four years including getting knocked up is going to change that.
Copperhead: So when do we do this?
The: It all depends. When do you want to die? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?
Copperhead: How about tonight, bitch?
The: Splendid. Where?
Copperhead: 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. Your hair in a black stocking. And we have us a knife fight. We won't be bothered. Now... I have to fix Nikki's cereal.

- Hey!
- Hey, yeah!
- Hey, yeah!

- I want you to tell him all the information you just told me.

The: It was not my intention to do this in front of you. For that I'm sorry. But you can take my word for it, your mother had it comin'. When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting.

- For ridiculing you earlier...

- Accepted.
- Ready?
- Come on.

Bill: Sofie, Sofie, my Sofie. I'm so sorry.
Sofie: Please... please forgive my betrayal.
Bill: No more of that.
Sofie: But still...
Bill: But still nothing. Nothing, except my aching heart, at what she's done to my beautiful and brilliant Sofie.

Go: You can beg better than that!

- You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did you?

Budd: That woman deserves her revenge and we deserve to die.

Earl: Well, give me the gory details, Son Number One.
Edgar: It's a goddamn massacre, Pop. They wiped out the whole wedding party, execution-style.
Earl: Give me a figure.
Edgar: Nine dead bodies. And we're talking the whole she-bang: bride, groom, reverend, reverend's wife... hell, they even shot that old colored fella that plays the organ.
Earl: It would appear someone objected to this union and wasn't able to hold their peace.

- "Pussy Wagon."

Earl: Good gravy, Marie.

The: [spanking a young member of the Crazy 88s with her sword] This is what you get for fucking around with Yakuzas!
[with a last spank, lets him go]
The: Go home to your mother!

- Oh, my baby.
- Four years.
- Four years.

Elle: I might never have liked you. Point of fact, I despise you. But that doesn't suggest I don't respect you. Dying in our sleep is a luxury our kind is rarely afforded. My gift to you.

- Swords however, never get tired.
- I hope you've saved your energy.
- If you haven't...
- ...you might not last five minutes.
- But as last looks go, you could do worse.

- Charlie Brown, beat it.
- Miki.
- TEAR THE BITCH APART!

The: [after quickly dispatching six Crazy 88's] So, O-Ren? Any more subordinates for me to kill?

- Hyah!
- Aaaaaaaaahh!
- Aaahh!

- And in that purpose, I was a success.
- I've done this because philosophically,
- I am sympathetic to your aim.
- I can tell you with no ego, this is my finest sword.
- If on your journey, you should encounter God...
- ...God will be cut.
