One of my favourite movies of all time; particularly the sharp, dark script. Can't remember how long i've had this book now... BTW, the full script is also available here.

Excerpts

           JULES (OS)
"...blessed is he who, in the name
of charity and good will, shephered
the weak through the valley of
darkness.  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 I am the Lord
when I lay my vengeance upon you."

   [Vincent and Jules empty their guns at the same 
    time on the sitting Brett.]

           MARSELLUS (OS)
This business is filled to the brim
with unrealistic motherfuckers who
thought their ass aged like wine.
---

Then the first of an uncomfortable silence happens.

           MIA
Don't you hate that?

           VINCENT
What?

           MIA
Uncomfortable silences.  Why do we
feel it's necessary to yak about
bullshit in order to be
comfortable?

           VINCENT
I don't know.

           MIA
That's when you know you found
somebody special.  When you can
just shit the fuck up for a minute,
and comfortably share silence.

[after Mia recovers from her heroin overdose, as he's leaving:]

           VINCENT
If you'll excuse me, I gotta go
home and have a heart attack.

---
	JIMMIE. Now let me ask you a
	question, Jules.  When you drove in
	here, did you notice a sign out front
	that said, "Dead nigger storage?"

---
           JULES
I don't wanna hear about no
motherfuckin' "ifs."  What I wanna
hear from your ass is: "you ain't
got no problems, Jules.  I'm on the
motherfucker.  Go back in there,
chill them niggers out and wait for
the cavalry, which should be comin'
directly."

           MARSELLUS
You ain't got no problems, Jules.
I'm on the motherfucker.  Go back
in there, chill them niggers out
and wait for The Wolf, who should
be comin' directly.

---

WOLF: It's about thirty minutes away.  I'll be there in ten.

---

WOLF: I think fast, I talk fast, and I need you guys to act fast if
you want to get out of this.  So pretty please, with sugar on top,
clean the fuckin' car.

---

           JULES
You're gettin' ready to blow?  I'm
a mushroom-cloud-layin'
motherfucker!  Every time my
fingers touch brain I'm "SUPERFLY
T.N.T," I'm the "GUNS OF NAVARONE."

---
WOLF: Spoken like a true prodigy.

---
RAQUEL:  So it is written, so
shall it be done.

---
           RAQUEL
I have character.

           WINSTON
Just because you are a character
doesn't mean you have character.
