** This is followed by a brief swordlock between the two, before the Bride '''''rips out Elle's other eye''''' without warning. She then drops it on the floor and squishes it beneath her bare foot [[VillainousBreakdown as a horrified, screaming Elle flounders about in rage]]. It's not quite a KarmicDeath, given that the Bride just leaves her in Budd's trailer, but it's nothing short of satisfying to see such a SmugSnake who was willing to kill someone in their sleep and murder her partner for an incredibly petty reason suffer a FateWorseThanDeath.
