fox specialty was sex vincent what was your specialty mia knives the character i played raven mccoy her background was she was raised by circus performers so she grew up doing a knife act according to the show she was the deadliest woman in the world with a knife but because she grew up in a circus she was also something of an acrobat she could do illusions she was a trapeze artist when you re keeping the world safe from evil you never know when being a trapeze artist s gonna come in handy and she knew a zillion old jokes her grandfather an old vaudevillian taught her if we woulda got picked up they woulda worked in a gimmick where every episode i woulda told and ol joke vincent do you remember any of the jokes mia well i only got the chance to say one cause we only did one show vincent tell me mia no it s really corny vincent c mon don t be that way mia no you won t like it and i ll be embarrassed vincent you told it in front of fifty million people and you can t tell it to me i promise i won t laugh mia that s what i m afraid of vincent that s not what i meant and you know it mia you re quite the silver tongue devil aren t you vincent i meant i wouldn t laugh at you mia that s not what you said vince well now i m definitely not gonna tell ya cause it s been built up too much vincent what a gyp buddy comes back with the drinks mia wraps her lips around the straw of her shake mia yummy vincent can i have a sip of that i d like to know what a five dollar shake tastes like mia be my guest she slides the shake over to him mia you can use my straw i don t have kooties vincent smiles vincent yeah but maybe i do mia kooties i can handle he takes a sip vincent goddamn that s a pretty fuckin good milk shake mia told ya vincent i don t know if it s worth five dollars but it s pretty fuckin good he slides the shake back 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 shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably share silence vincent i don t think we re there yet but don t feel bad we just met each other mia well i ll tell you what i ll go to the bathroom and powder my nose while you sit here and think of something to say vincent i ll do that int jackrabbit slim s night mia powders her nose by doing a big line of coke off the bathroom sink her head jerks up from the rush mia i said goddamn int

something to say vincent actually there s something i ve wanted to ask you about but you seem like a nice person and i didn t want to offend you mia oooohhhh this doesn t sound like mindless boring getting to know you chit chat this sounds like you actually have something to say vincent only if you promise not to get offended mia you can t promise something like that i have no idea what you re gonna ask you could ask me what you re gonna ask me and my natural response could be to be offended then through no fault of my own i woulda broken my promise vincent then let s just forget it mia that is an impossibility trying to forget anything as intriguing as this would be an exercise in futility vincent is that a fact mia nods her head yes mia besides it s more exciting when you don t have permission vincent what do you think about what happened to antwan mia who s antwan vincent tony rocky horror mia he fell out of a window vincent that s one way to say it another way is he was thrown out another was is he was thrown out by marsellus and even another way is he was thrown out of a window by marsellus because of you mia is that a fact vincent no it s not it s just what i heard mia who told you this vincent they mia and vincent smile mia they talk a lot don t they vincent they certainly do mia well don t be shy vincent what exactly did they say vincent is slow to answer mia

four story window because he massaged my feet vincent yeah mia and you believed that vincent at the time i was told it seemed reasonable mia marsellus throwing tony out of a four story window for giving me a foot massage seemed reasonable vincent no it seemed excessive but that doesn t mean it didn t happen i heard marsellus is very protective of you mia a husband being protective of his wife is one thing a husband almost killing another man for touching his wife s feet is something else vincent but did it happen mia the only thing antwan ever touched of mine was my hand when he shook it i met anwan once at my wedding then never again the truth is nobody knows why marsellus tossed tony rocky horror out of that window except marsellus and tony rocky horror but when you scamps get

uncomfortable silence mia i don t know what that was music and drinks mia moves away to attend to both vincent hangs up his overcoat on a big bronze coat rack in the alcove vincent i m gonna take a piss mia that was a little bit more information than i needed to know but go right ahead vincent shuffles off to the john mia moves to her cd player thumbs through a stack of cds and selects one k d lang the speakers blast out a high energy country number which mia plays air guitar to she dances her way around the room and finds herself by vincent s overcoat hanging on the rack she touches its sleeve it feels good her hand hoes in its pocket and pulls out his tobacco pouch like a little girl playing cowboy she spreads the tobacco on some rolling paper imitating what he did earlier licks the paper and rolls it into a pretty good cigarette maybe a little too fat but not bad for a first try mia thinks so anyway her hand reaches back in the pocket and pulls out his zippo lighter she slaps the lighter against her leg trying to light it fancy style like vince did what do you know she did it mia s one happy clam she triumphantly brings the fat flame up to her fat smoke lighting it up then loudly snaps the zippo closed the mia made cigarette is brought up to her lips and she takes a long cool drag her hand slides the zippo back in the overcoat pocket but wait her fingers touch something

her trusty hundred dollar bill like a human dust buster she quickly snorts the fat line closeup mia her head jerks back her hands go to her nose something is terribly wrong then the rush hits bathroom vincent dries his hands on a towel while he continues his dialogue with the mirror vincent it s a moral test of yourself whether or not you can maintain loyalty because when people are loyal to each other that s very meaningful living room mia is on all fours trying to crawl to the bathroom but it s like she s trying to crawl with the bones removed from her knees blood begins to drip from mia s nose then her stomach gets into the act and she vomits bathroom vince continues vincent so you re gonna go out there drink your drink say goodnight i ve had a very lovely evening go home and jack off and that s all you re gonna do now that he s given himself a little pep talk vincent s ready for whatever s waiting for him on the other side of that door so he goes through it living room we follow behind vincent as he walks from the bathroom to the living room where he finds mia lying on the floor like a rag doll she s twisted on her back blood and puke are down her front and her face is contorted not out of the tightness of pain but just the opposite the muscles in her face are so relaxed she lies still with her mouth wide open slack jawed vincent oh jesus christ jesus fuckin christ oh fuck me vincent moves like greased lightning to mia s fallen body bending down where she lays he puts his fingers on her neck to check her pulse she slightly stirs mia is aware of vincent over her

and sees the story vincent i ll be a son of a bitch mia mia what did you take answer me honey what did you take mia is incapable of answering he slaps her face hard vincent springs up and runs to his overcoat hanging on the rack he goes through the pockets frantically it s gone vincent makes a beeline to mia we follow vincent okay honey we re getting you on your feet he reaches her and hoists the

take it cut to a parking meter red flag rises up then out leaving the arrow pointing at one hour ext residential street corner day butch isn t completely reckless he has parked his car a couple of blocks from his apartment to check things out before he goes boppin through the front door ext alley day butch walks down the alley until he gets to another street then he discreetly glances out ext street butch s apartment day everything seems normal more or less the right number of cars in the street none of the parked cars appear out of place none of them have a couple of goons sitting inside basically it looks like normal morning activity in front of butch s home butch peers around a wall taking in the vital information butch walks out of the alley and is ready for anything he crosses the street and enters his apartment courtyard across the street from butch s building on the corner is a combination donut shop and japanese restaurant a big sign sticks up in the air with the name teriyaki donut and a graphic of a donut sticking out of a bowl of rice ext butch s apartment courtyard day butch is in the courtyard of his north hollywood apartment building once again everything appears normal the laundry room the pool his apartment door nothing appears disturbed butch climbs the stairs leading to his apartment number 12 he steps outside the door and listens inside nothing butch slowly inserts the key into the door quietly opening it int butch s apartment day his apartment hasn t been touched he cautiously steps inside shuts the door and takes a quick look around obviously no one is there butch walks into his modest kitchen and opens the refrigerator he takes out a carton of milk and drinks from it with carton in hard butch surveys the apartment then he goes to the bedroom his bedroom is like the rest of the apartment neat clean and anonymous the only things personal in his room are a few boxing trophies an olympic silver medal a framed issue of ring magazine with butch on the cover and a poster of jerry quarry and one of george chuvalo sure enough there s the watch just like he said it was on the bedside table hanging on his little kangaroo statue he walks through the apartment and back into the kitchen he opens a cupboard and takes out a box of pop tarts putting down the milk he opens the box takes out two pop tarts and puts them in the toaster butch glances to his right his eyes fall on something what he sees is a small compact czech m61 submachine gun with a huge silencer on it lying on his kitchen counter butch holy shit he picks up the intimidating peace of weaponry and examines it then a toilet flushes butch looks up to the bathroom door which is parallel to the kitchen there is someone behind it like a rabbit caught in a radish patch butch freezes not knowing what to do the bathroom door opens and vincent vega steps out of the bathroom tightening his belt in his hand is the book modesty blaise by peter o donnell vincent and butch lock eyes vincent freezes butch doesn t move except to point the m61 in vincent s direction neither man opens his mouth then the toaster loudly kicks up the pop tarts that s all the situation needed butch s finger hits the trigger muffled fire shoots out of the end of the gun vincent is seemingly wracked with twenty bullets simultaneously lifting him off his feet propelling him through the air and crashing through the glass shower door at the end of the bathroom by the time butch removes his finger from the trigger vincent is annihilated butch stands frozen amazed at what just happened his look goes from the grease spot in the bathroom that was once vincent down to the powerful piece of artillery in his grip with the respect it deserves butch carefully places the m61 back on the kitchen counter then he exits the apartment quickly ext apartment courtyard day butch not running but walking very rapidly crosses the courtyard comes out of the apartment building crosses the street goes through the alley and into his car in one steadicam shot ext honda day butch cranks the car into gear and drives away the big wide smile of a survivor breaks across his face ext apartment building street day the honda turns down the alley and slowly cruises by his apartment building int honda day butch looks out the window at his former home butch that s how you re gonna beat em butch they keep underestimatin ya this makes the boxer laugh out loud as he laughs he flips a tape in the cassette player when the music starts he sings along with it he drives by the apartment but is stopped at the light on the corner across from teriyaki donut butch is still chuckling singing along with the song as we see through the windshield the big man himself marsellus wallace exit teriyaki donut carrying a box of a dozen donuts and two large styrofoam cups of coffee he steps off the curb crossing the street in front of butch s car this is the first time we see marsellus clearly laughing boy stops when he sees the big man directly in front of him when marsellus is in front of butch s car he casually glances to his left sees butch continues walking then stops double take am i really seeing what i m seeing butch doesn t wait for the big man to answer his own question he stomps on the gas pedal the little honda slams into marsellus sending him the donuts and the coffee hitting the pavement at thirty miles an hour butch cuts into cross traffic and is broad sided by a gold camaro z 28 breaking all the windows in the honda and sending it up on the sidewalk butch sits dazed and confused in the crumpled mess of what at one time was fabienne s honda blood flows from his nostrils the still functional tape player continues to play a pedestrian pokes his head inside pedestrian jesus are you okay butch look at him spaced out butch i guess marsellus wallace lies sprawled out in the street gawkers gather around the body gawker 1 he s dead he s dead this jerk s yelling makes marsellus come to two pedestrians help the shaken butch out of the wreckage the woozy marsellus gets to his feet gawker 2 if you need a witness in court i ll be glad to help he was a drunken maniac he hit you and crashed into that car marsellus who gawker 2 him marsellus follows the gawker s finger and sees butch coolidge down the street looking a shambles marsellus well i ll be damned the big man takes out a 45 automatic and the gawkers back away marsellus starts moving toward butch butch sees the fierce figure making a wobbly bee line toward him butch sacre bleu marsellus brings up his weapon and fires but he s so hurt shaky and dazed that his arm goes wild he hits a looky loo woman in the hip she falls to the ground screaming looky loo woman oh my god i ve been shot that s all butch needs to see he s outta here marsellus runs after him the crowd looks agape butch is in a mad limping run the big man s hot on his ass with a cockeyed wobbly run butch cuts across traffic and dashes into a business with a sign that reads mason dixie pawnshop int mason dixie pawnshop day maynard a hillbilly lookin boy stands behind the counter of his pawnshop when all of a sudden chaos in the form of butch races into his world maynard can i help you wit somethin butch shut up butch quickly takes measure of the situation than stands next to the door maynard now you just wait one goddamn minute before maynard can finish his threat marsellus charges in he doesn t get past the doorway because butch lands his fist in marsellus face the gangster s feet go out from under him and the big man falls flat on his back outside two police cars with their sirens blaring race by butch pounces on the fallen body punching him twice more in the face butch takes the gun out of marsellus hand than grabs ahold of his middle finger butch so you like chasing people huh he breaks the finger marsellus lets out a pain sound butch then places the barrel of the 45 between his eyes pulls back the hammer and places his open hand behind the gun to shield the splatter butch well guess what big man you caught me maynard hold it right there godammit butch and marsellus look up at maynard who s brandishing a pumpaction shotgun aimed at the two men butch look mister this ain t any of your business maynard i m makin it my business now toss that gun butch does maynard now you on top stand up and come to the counter butch slowly gets up and moves to the counter as soon as he gets there maynard hauls off hitting him hard in the face with the butt of the shotgun knocking butch down and out after butch goes down maynard calmly lays the shotgun on the counter and moves to the telephone marsellus wallace from his position on the floor groggily watches the pawnshop owner dial a number maynard waits on the line while the other end rings then it picks up maynard zed it s maynard the spider just caught a coupl a flies marsellus passes out fade to black fade up int pawnshop back room day two shot butch and marsellus they are tied up in two separate chairs in their mouths are two s m style ball gags both men are unconscious maynard steps in with a fire extinguisher and sprays both guys until they re wide awake and wet as otters the two prisoners look up at their captors maynard stands in front of them fire extinguisher in one hand shotgun in the other and marsellus 45 sticking in his belt maynard nobody kills anybody in my place of business except me or zed a buzzer buzzes maynard that s zed without saying another word maynard climbs up the stairs that lead to red curtains and goes through them we hear on the other side of the curtains maynard let zed inside the store butch and marsellus look around the room the basement of the pawnshop has been converted into a dungeon after taking in their predicament butch and marsellus look at each other all traces of hostility gone replaced by a terror they both share at what they ve gotten themselves into maynard and zed come through the curtains zed is an even more intense version of maynard if such a thing is possible the two hillbillys are obviously brothers where maynard is a vicious pitbull zed is a deadly cobra zed walks in and stands in front of the two captives he inspects them for a long time then says zed you said you waited for me maynard i did zed then how come they re all beat up maynard they

man they keep dressed from head to toe in black leather bondage gear there are zippers buckles and studs here and there on the body on his head is a black leather mask with two eye holes and a zipper for a mouth they keep him in a hole in the floor big enough for a large dog zed takes the chair sits it in front of the two prisoners then lowers into it maynard hands the gimp s leash to zed then backs away maynard down the gimp gets on its knees maynard hangs back while zed appraises the two men maynard who s first zed i ain t fer sure yet then with his little finger zed does a silent eenie meany miney moe just his mouth mouthing the words and his finger going back and forth between the two butch are marsellus are terrified maynard looks back and forth at the victims the gimps s eyes go from one to the other inside the mask zed continues his silent sing song with his finger moving left to right then it stops two shot butch and marsellus after a beat the camera moves to the right zeroing in on marsellus zed stands up zed wanna do it here maynard naw drag big boy to russell s old room zed grabs marsellus chair and drags him into russell s old room russell no doubt was some other poor bastard that has the misfortune of stumbling into the mason dixie pawnshop whatever happened to russell is known only to maynard and zed because his old room a back room in the back of the back room is empty as marsellus is dragged away he locks eyes with butch before he disappears behind the door of russell s old room maynard up the gimp rises maynard ties the gimp s leash to a hook on the ceiling maynard keep an eye on this one the gimp bows its head yes maynard disappears into russell s old room there must be a stereo in there because suddenly the judds singing in harmony fills the air butch looks at the gimp the gimp giggles from underneath the mask as if this were the funniest moment in the history of comedy from behind the door we hear country music struggling and maynard whoa this boy s got a bit of fight in em we the hear maynard and zed beat on marsellus zed you wanna fight you wanna fight good i like to fight butch pauses listens to the voices then in a panic hurriedly struggles to get free the gimp is laughing wildly the ropes are on too tight and butch can t break free the gimp slaps his knee laughing in the back room we hear maynard that s it that s it boy you re goin fine oooooooh just like that that s good stay still stay still goddamn ya zed goddammit git over here and hold em butch stops struggling and lifts up on his arms then quite easily the padded chair back slides up and off as if it were never connected by a bolt the gimp sees this and its eyes widen the gimp huhng the gimp flails wildly trying to get the leash off the hook he tries to yell but all that comes out are excited gurgles and grunts butch is out of his chair quickly dispensing three boxer s punches to its face the punches knock the gimp out making him fall to his knees this hanging himself by the leash attached to the hook butch removes the ball gag then silently makes his way through the red curtains int pawnshop day butch sneaks to the door on the counter is a big set of keys with a large z connected to the ring grabbing them he s about to go out when he stops and listens to the hillbilly psychopaths having their way with marsellus butch decides for the life of him he can t leave anybody in a situation like that se he begins rooting around the pawnshop for a weapon to bash those hillbillies heads in with he picks up a big destructive looking hammer then discards it not destructive enough he picks up a chainsaw thinks about it for a moment then puts it back next a large louisville slugger he tries on for size but then he spots what he s been looking for a samurai sword it hands in its hand carved wood sheath from a nail on the wall next to a neon dad s old fashioned root beer sign butch takes the sword off the wall removing it from its sheath it s a magnificent piece of steel it seems to glisten in the low wattage light of the pawnshop butch touches his thumb to the blade to see if the sword is just for show not on your life it s as sharp as it gets this weapon seems made to order for the brothers grimm downstairs holding the sword pointed downward takakura kenstyle he disappears through the red curtains to take care of business int pawnshop back room day butch quietly sneaks down the stairs leading to the dungeon sodomy and the judds can still be heard going string behind the closed door that leads to russell s old room int russell s old room day butch s hand comes into frame pushing the door open it swings open silently revealing the rapists who have switched positions zed is now bent over marsellus who is bent over a wooden horse maynard watches both have their backs to butch maynard faces the camera grinning while butch comes up behind him with the sword miserable violated and looking like a rag doll marsellus red ball gag still in mouth opens his watery eyes to see butch coming up behind maynard his eyes widen butch hey hillbilly maynard turns and sees butch holding the sword butch screams with one mighty swing slashes maynard across the front moving past him eyes and blade now locked on zed maynard stands trembling his front sliced open in shock butch while never taking his eyes off zed thrusts the sword behind him skewering maynard then extracts it pointing the blade toward zed maynard collapses zed disengages from marsellus in a hurry and his eyes go from the tip of butch s sword to marsellus 45 automatic which lies within reach butch s eyes follow zed s butch you want that gun zed pick it up zed s hand inches toward the weapon butch grips the sword tighter zed studies butch butch looks hard at zed then a voice says marsellus step aside butch butch steps aside revealing marsellus standing behind him holding maynard s pump action shotgun kaboom zed is blasted in the groin down he goes screaming in agony marsellus looking down at his whimpering rapist ejects the used shotgun shell butch lowers the sword and hangs back not a word until butch you okay marsellus naw man i m pretty

situation 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 fade up int bathroom day we re in the bathroom of the hollywood apartment we were in earlier in fact we re there at exactly the same time except this time we re in the bathroom with the fourth man the fourth man is pacing around the small room listening hard to

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

anybody fool enough to stick their head through that door then he listens to them talk vincent friend of yours jules yeah marvin vincent vincent marvin waiting for them isn t the smartest move bursting out the door and blowing them all away while they re fuckin around is the way to go int apartment day the bathroom door bursts open and the fourth man charges out silver magnum raised firing six booming shots from his hand cannon fourth man die die die die dolly into fourth man same as before he scream until he s dry firing then a look of confusion crosses his face two shot jules and
