History Awesome / PulpFiction

-->'''Marsellus''': ''(to Zed)'' I'mma call a couple of hard, pipe-hitting niggas to go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch. You hear me talking, hillbilly boy!? I ain't through with you by a damn sight! [[MemeticMutation I'mma get medieval on your ass!]]

* The opening. "Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you!!" -- cue an '''immediate''' cut to "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Misirlou]]" by Music/DickDale [[note]] available on ''Music/SurfersChoice'' [[/note]] blaring. It's the perfect music to inform the audience: "Strap yourselves in. It's gonna be one hell of a ride."

--> '''Jody''': That was fucking trippy.

** "'What' ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?"

** Also on a meta level, Creator/ChristopherWalken's acting here is amazing; he gives this beautiful speech about Butch's family, about how important the watch is to them, and how he there to fulfil a dead man's last request, undoubtedly moving some people watching to tears, then drops just ''how'' he got the watch back to Butch. The MoodWhiplash comes like a ton of bricks.

** On a meta level, Creator/ChristopherWalken cementing his place in history as the King of the [[OneSceneWonder One Scene Wonders]].

-->'''Winston Wolfe:''' It's about thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

** "It's the one that says [[Creator/SamuelLJackson Bad Motherfucker]]." He just says it so diplomatically!
* Butch saving Marsellus with a katana and holding Zed at sword point, taunting him to pick up the gun. And then Marsellus tells Butch to step aside, just before ''[[GroinAttack blowing Zed's balls off]]''.

** Even better is in the background you can hear the rapist sobbing and retching in pure agony. PayEvilUntoEvil indeed.
** More generally, the Butch storyline as a whole. Even if luck was definitely on his side, the guy with presumably little to none prior involvement with the criminal world ''owned'' a dangerous crime boss, killed a hitman sent out to kill him and escaped unscathed while earning ''gratitude'' of the said crime boss. (Or at least enough of it to let him leave the city in one piece and stay away forever.)
* The entire sequence with [[BadassInANiceSuit Winston Wolf]]. "I solve problems."
-->'''Winston Wolf:''' It's about thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.
** The moment he hangs up his phone, it cuts to Wolf arriving at Jimmy's house with the words "Nine minutes thirty-seven seconds later...". By the time he parked his car and knocked on the door, he was there in ''exactly'' ten minutes.

It's gonna be one hell of a ride."
* Captain Koons' monologue detailing the history of the gold watch, and Butch's ancestors. BadassFamily indeed.

* As convoluted and crazy as the scenario was, there is a bit of awesomeness in seeing Vincent and Lance bring Mia back to life with the needle.

** Words are not enough to do justice to this scene: Jules has Ringo and Yolanda pointing their guns at him, then - after distracting Ringo with the briefcase's content - he effortlessly pulls Ringo and points his gun at his face turning the situation in his favor as Yolanda becomes too panicked to do anything else other than shouting. After that he calmly, non-violently, defuses the entire situation - even after Vincent almost fucked it up - and makes both would-be-robbers leave.
** Jules, expressing his HeelFaceTurn as he lets Ringo and Yolanda go: "But I'm trying Ringo, I'm trying ''real hard'' to be the Shepherd."
* The ending: Jules and Vincent calmly walk out of the restaurant, like cowboy heroes with knowing swagger exiting a saloon after the big showdown.

* Most of Jules' dialogue to Brett in the opening scene, and not just for the fact that [[MemeticMutation nearly every line of it has since become a well-known quote]].

** "English motherfucker, do you speak it?"

** "I DON'T REMEMBER ASKIN' YOU A GOD DAMN THING."

[[caption-width-right:350: 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 my name is the Lord... when I lay my vengeance upon thee!]]

* Butch saving Marcellus with a katana and holding Zed at sword point, taunting him to pick up the gun. And then Marsellus tells Butch to step aside, just before ''[[GroinAttack blowing Zed's balls off]]''.

* Topped at the end. [[spoiler:"The truth is, you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm ''tryin''', Ringo. [[HeelFaceTurn I'm trying real hard to be this shepherd.]]"]]

* The ending: Jules and Vincent [[spoiler:calmly walk out of the restaurant, like cowboy heroes with knowing swagger exiting a saloon after the big showdown.]]

* Despite the movie portraying Vincent as dangerously careless and absent minded he manages to sneak out of the bathroom and into the standoff between Jules and Yolanda. Had it not been for his partner wanting to diffuse the situation nonviolently and drawing attention to him, he could have easily shot and killed her before she had time to react due to the fact that she was focused on Ringo and Jules.

* "English motherfucker, do you speak it?"

** "I DON'T REMEMBER ASKIN' YOU A GOD. DAMN. THING."

* Butch saving Marcellus with a katana[[note]]we repeat: Bruce Willis ''armed with a '''katana'''''[[/note]] and holding Zed at sword point, taunting him to pick up the gun. And then Marsellus tells Butch to step aside, just before ''[[GroinAttack blowing Zed's balls off]]''. And then..
