83. INT. JIMMIE'S
BEDROOM - MORNING
83.
Jimmie's gathering all the bedspreads, quilts and linen he
has. The Wolf is on the phone.
THE WOLF
(into phone)
It's a 1974 Chevy Nova.
(pause)
White.
(pause)
Nothin', except for the mess
inside.
(pause)
About twenty minutes.
(pause)
Nobody who'll be missed.
(pause)
You're a good man, Joe. See ya
soon.
(he looks at Jimmie)
How we comin', Jimmie?
Jimmie comes over with a handful of linen.
JIMMIE
Mr. Wolf, you gotta understand
somethin' --
THE WOLF
-- Winston, Jimmie -- please,
Winston.
JIMMIE
You gotta understand something,
Winston. I want to help you guys
out and all, but that's my best
linen. It was a wedding present
from my Uncle Conrad and Aunt
Ginny, and they ain't with us
anymore --
THE WOLF
-- let me ask you a question, if
you don't mind?
JIMMIE
Sure.
THE WOLF
Were you Uncle Conrad and Aunt
Ginny millionaires?
JIMMIE
No.
THE WOLF
Well, your Uncle Marsellus is. And
I'm positive if Uncle Conrad and
Aunt Ginny were millionaires, they
would've furnished you with a whole
bedroom set, which your Uncle
Marsellus is more than happy to do.
(takes out a roll of
bills)
I like oak myself, that's what's in
my bedroom. How 'bout you Jimmie,
you an oak man?
JIMMIE
Oak's nice.
84. INT. GARAGE -
MORNING
84.
Both Jules and Vincent are inside the car cleaning it up.
Vincent is in the front seat washing windows, while Jules is
in the backseat, picking up little pieces of skull and gobs of
brain. Both are twice as bloody as they were before.
JULES
I will never forgive your ass for
this shit. This is some fucked-up
repugnant shit!
VINCENT
Did you ever hear the philosophy
that once a man admits he's wrong,
he's immediately forgiven for all
wrong-doings?
JULES
Man, get outta my face with that
shit! The motherfucker who said
that never had to pick up itty-
bitty pieces of skull with his
fingers on account of your dumb
ass.
VINCENT
I got a threshold, Jules. I got a
threshold for the abuse I'll take.
And you're crossin' it. I'm a race
car and you got me in the red.
Redline 7000, that's where you are.
Just know, it's fuckin' dangerous
to be drivin' a race car when it's
in the red. It could blow.
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."
I'm what Jimmie Walker usta talk
about. In fact, what the fuck am I
doin' in the back? You're the
motherfucker should be on brain
detail. We're tradin'. I'm
washin' windows and you're pickin'
up this nigger's skull.
85. INT. CHEVY NOVA
- MORNING
85.
The interior of the car has been cleaned and lined with
bedspreads and quilts. Believe it or not, what looked like a
portable slaughterhouse can actually pass for a non-descript
vehicle.
The Wolf circles the car examining it.
Jules and Vincent stand aside, their clothes are literally a
bloody mess, but they do have a sense of pride in what a good
job they've done.
THE WOLF
Fine job, gentlemen. We may get
out of this yet.
JIMMIE
I can't believe that's the same
car.
THE WOLF
Well, let's not start suckin' each
other's dicks quite yet. Phase one
is complete, clean the car, which
moves us right along to phase two,
clean you two.
86. EXT. JIMMIE'S
BACKYARD - MORNING
86.
Jules and Vincent stand side by side in their black suits,
covered in blood, in Jimmie's backyard. Jimmie holds a
plastic Hefty trash bag, while The Wolf holds a garden hose
with one of those guns nossles attached.
THE WOLF
Strip.
VINCENT
All the way?
THE WOLF
To your bare ass.
As they follow directions, The Wolf enjoys a smoke.
THE WOLF
Quickly gentlemen, we got about
fifteen minutes before Jimmie's
better-half comes pulling into the
driveway.
JULES
This morning air is some chilly
shit.
VINCENT
Are you sure this is absolutely
necessary?
THE WOLF
You know what you two look like?
VINCENT
What?
THE WOLF
Like a couple of guys who just blew
off somebody's head. Yes,
strippin' off those bloody rags is
absolutely necessary. Toss the
clothes in Jim's garbage bag.
JULES
Now Jimmie, don't do nothin' stupid
like puttin' that out in front of
your house for Elmo the garbage man
to take away.
THE WOLF
Don't worry, we're takin' it with
us. Jim, the soap.
He hands the now-naked men a bar of soap.
THE WOLF
Okay gentlemen, you're both been to
County before, I'm sure. Here it
comes.
He hits the trigger, water SHOOTS OUT, SMACKING both men.
JULES
Goddamn, that water's fuckin' cold!
THE WOLF
Better you than me, gentlemen.
The two men, trembling, scrub themselves.
THE WOLF
Don't be afraid of the soap, spread
it around.
The Wolf stops the hose, tossing it on the ground.
THE WOLF
Towel 'em.
Jimmie tosses them each a towel, which they rub furiously
across their bodies.
THE WOLF
You're dry enough, give 'em their
clothes.
JIMMIE
Okay fellas, in the one-size-fits-
all category, we got swim trunks,
one red -- one white. And two
extra-large tee-shirts. A UC Santa
Cruz shirt and an "I'm with Stupid"
shirt.
JULES
I get the "I'm with Stupid" shirt.
FADE UP ON:
87. JULES AND VINCENT
87.
in their tee-shirts and swim trunks. They look a million
miles away from the black-suited, bad-asses we first met.
THE WOLF
Perfect. Perfect. We couldn't've
planned this better. You guys look
like...what do they look like,
Jimmie?
JIMMIE
Dorks. They look like a couple of
dorks.
The Wolf and Jimmie laugh.
JULES
Ha ha ha. They're your clothes,
motherfucker.
JIMMIE
I guess you just gotta know how to
wear them.
JULES
Yeah, well, out asses ain't the
expert on wearin' dorky shit that
your is.
THE WOLF
C'mon, gentlemen, we're laughin'
and jokin' our way into prison.
Don't make me beg.
They start walking through the house to the garage.
JIMMIE
Wait a minute, before you guys
split, I wanna get a picture of
this.
JULES
Jimmie, have you forgotten about
your wife comin' home?
JIMMIE
It won't take a second.
VINCENT
I don't like this photograph shit.
JIMMIE
Sorry -- my house, my rules.
88. INT. JIMMIE'S
GARAGE - MORNING
88.
The garbage bag is tossed in the car trunk on top of Marvin.
The Wolf SLAMS is closed.
THE WOLF
Gentlemen, let's get our rules of
the road straight. We're going to
a place called Monster Joe's Truck
and Tow. Monster Joe and his
daughter Raquel are sympathetic to
out dilemma. The place is North
Hollywood, so a few twist and turns
aside, we'll be goin' up Hollywood
Way. Now I'll drive the tainted
car. Jules, you ride with me.
Vincent, you follow in my Porsche.
Now if we cross the path of any
John Q. Laws, nobody does a fuckin'
thing 'til I do something.
(to Jules)
What did I say?
JULES
Don't do shit unless --
THE WOLF
-- unless what?
JULES
Unless you do it first.
THE WOLF
Spoken like a true prodigy.
(to Vincent)
How 'bout you, Lash Larue? Can you
keep your spurs from jingling and
jangling?
VINCENT
I'm cool, Mr. Wolf. My gun just
went off, I dunno how.
THE WOLF
Fair enough.
(he throws Vince his
car keys)
I drive real fuckin' fast, so keep
up. If I get my car back any
different than I gave it, Monster
Joe's gonna be disposing of two
bodies.
JULES
Why do you drive fast?
THE WOLF
Because it's a lot of fun.
Jules and Vincent laugh.
THE WOLF
Let's move.
Jimmie comes through the door, camera in hand.
JIMMIE
Wait a minute, I wanna take a
picture.
JULES
We ain't got time, man.
JIMMIE
We got time for one picture. You
and Vincent get together.
Jules and Vincent stand next to each other.
JIMMIE
Okay, you guys put your arms around
each other.
The two men look at each other and, after a long beat, a smile
breaks out. They put their arms around each other.
JIMMIE
Okay Winston, get in there.
THE WOLF
I ain't no model.
JIMMIE
After what a cool guy I've been, I
can't believe you do me like this.
It's the only thing I asked.
JULES & VINCENT
C'mon, Mr. Wolf....
THE WOLF
Okay, one photo and we go.
SLOW DOLLY TOWARD A LONE CAMERA
JIMMIE (OS)
Everybody say Pepsi.
JULES (OS)
I ain't fuckin' sayin' Pepsi.
JIMMIE (OS)
Smile, Winston.
THE WOLF
I don't smile in pictures.
The camera goes off, FLASHING THE SCREEN WHITE.
THE PHOTO FADES UP OVER WHITE.
it's Jules and Vincent, their arms around each other, next to
Jimmie' whose arm is around The Wolf. Everyone is smiling
except you-know-who.
89. INT. MONSTER JOE'S
TRUCK AND TOW - MORNING
89.
Winston is counting out three thousand dollars to an older man
in a dirty tee-shirt, MONSTER JOE. We're in Joe's office,
which looks like the office of every tow yard on the planet.
A filthy, disarrayed mess.
MONSTER JOE
I've said it before, I'll say it
again, your business is always
welcome.
WINSTON
I would think by now I've earned
the equivalent of Frequent Flyer
miles.
MONSTER JOE
I'll tell ya what, if you ever need
it, I'll dispose of a body part for
free.
WINSTON
How 'bout an upgrade, you dispose a
whole body for the price of a body
part.
The two men laugh.
MONSTER JOE
That one I need to speak with my
accountant on.
WINSTON
Where's that reprobate daughter of
yours?
MONSTER JOE
Out in the yard, up to no good.
90. EXT. MONSTER JOE'S
TRUCK AND TOW - MORNING
90.
Winston steps outside and is joined by Monster Joe's daughter,
RAQUEL. They walk in step across the yard with their arms
around each other's waists.
RAQUEL
Hello, Boyfriend!
WINSTON
Hello, Girlfriend. I swear,
heartbreaker, Joe should change the
name of this place to Beauty and
the Beast Truck and Tow.
RAQUEL
You're prejudiced because you love
me.
WINSTON
Guilty.
RAQUEL
Now business is done, it's time for
pleasure.
WINSTON
The time it is, is time for bed.
RAQUEL
Contre senior Lobo.
WINSTON
Do you have a different idea?
RAQUEL
Most definitely.
WINSTON
What do you think?
RAQUEL
I think you're taking me out to
breakfast.
WINSTON
Well, you thought wrong.
RAQUEL
That's no fair! I never get to see
you.
WINSTON
Raquel, I been up all night. I
need sleep. You understand the
concept of sleep?
RAQUEL
Yes, sleep is what you do after
you've taken me to breakfast. Just
get used to the idea, indulging me
is the price of doing business at
Monster Joe's Truck and Tow.
WINSTON
Raquel --
RAQUEL
I haven't seen you in a long time.
I miss you, we're going to
breakfast. So it is written, so
shall it be done.
They exit the tow yard. Jules and Vincent wait by Winston's
Porsche.
JULES
We cool?
WINSTON
Like it never happened.
Jules and Vincent bump fists.
JULES
I apologize for bein' in your shit
like I was.
VINCENT
You had every right, I fucked up.
RAQUEL
(to Winston)
Are they having a moment?
WINSTON
Boys, this is Raquel. Someday, all
this will be hers.
RAQUEL
(to the boys)
Hi. You know, if they ever do "I
SPY: THE MOTION PICTURE," you guys,
I'd be great. What's with the
outfits. You guys going to a
volleyball game?
Winston laughs, the boys groan.
WINSTON
I'm takin' m'lady out to breakfast.
Maybe I can drop you two off.
Where do you live?
VINCENT
Redondo Beach.
JULES
Inglewood.
Winston grabs Jules' wrist and pantomimes like he's in a "DEAD
ZONE" trance.
WINSTON
(painfully)
It's your future: I see...a cab
ride.
(dropping the act)
Sorry guys, move out of the sticks.
(to Raquel)
Say goodbye, Raquel
RAQUEL
Goodbye, Raquel.
WINSTON
I'll see you two around, and stay
outta trouble, you crazy kids.
Winston turns to leave.
JULES
Mr. Wolf.
He turns around.
JULES
I was a pleasure watchin' you
work.
The Wolf smiles.
WINSTON
Call me Winston.
He turns and banters with Raquel as they get in the Porsche.
WINSTON
You hear that, young lady?
Respect. You could lean a lot
from those two fine specimens.
Respect for one's elders shows
character.
RAQUEL
I have character.
WINSTON
Just because you are a character
doesn't mean you have character.
RAQUEL
Oh you're so funny, oh you're so
funny.
The Porsche SHOOTS OFF down the road.
The two men left alone look at each other.
JULES
Wanna share a cab?
VINCENT
You know I could go for some
breakfast. What to have breakfast
with me?
JULES
Sure.
