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: 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?

[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. I want him to witness the extent of my mercy by witnessing your deformed body. I want you to tell him all the information you just told me. I want him to know what I know. I want him to know I want him to know. And I want them all to know they'll all soon be as dead as O-Ren.

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.

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?

Bill: Do you find me sadistic? You know, I bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to.

Bill: masochistic.
The: Bill... it's your baby...
[BLAM!]

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.

The: How did you find me?
Bill: [off screen] I'm the man.

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

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. Members all of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. When fortune smiles on something as violent and ugly as revenge, it seems proof like no other, that not only does God exist, you're doing His will.

O: [sword lifted] Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with Samurai swords.

[Sophie screams]

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.

O: [in Japanese; subtitled] For ridiculing you earlier, I apologize.
The: [in Japanese; subtitled] Accepted.

Hattori: Never? Who is he, may I ask?

The: [English] ... Huge.
