The following is a list of characters from the film Kill Bill. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, the film was released in two separate parts, Kill Bill: Volume 1 in 2003 and Kill Bill: Volume 2 in 2004. The film takes place after a massacre that killed the fiancé and friends of the main character, The Bride, at the chapel in which she was to be married; she was also thought to have been killed by being shot in the head. However, The Bride survived, but was put into a coma for four years as a result of the attack. Upon finally awakening she plots her vengeance against the killers.
Beatrix Kiddo, a.k.a. The Bride (portrayed by Uma Thurman), is the protagonist of the film. She abandons her life as a hired assassin for the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (DVAS) upon realizing she is pregnant with Bill's child, denying him the right of fatherhood to preserve her unborn's future. This action provokes the attacks on her and her loved ones and its ensuing revenge, which is the entire basis of the film. Her code name while working for DVAS was Black Mamba.
The bill is a polearm weapon used by infantry in medieval Europe. The bill is similar in size, function and appearance to the halberd, differing mainly in the hooked blade form. Other terms for the bill include English bill, bill hook or bill-guisarme.
Derived originally from the agricultural billhook, the bill consisted of a hooked chopping blade with several pointed projections mounted on a staff. The end of the cutting blade curves forward to form a hook, which is the bill's distinguishing characteristic. In addition, the blade almost universally had one pronounced spike straight off the top like a spear head, and also a hook or spike mounted on the 'reverse' side of the blade. There were many types of bill. English bills tended to be relatively short, with broad chopping heads, while Italian bills (ronche) often had very long thrusting points. The English distinguished between several varieties of bill, including the black, brown and forest bills, but the differences between them are currently not fully understood.
Be like Bill is a social media meme that began around late 2015, with its popularity greatly increasing in early 2016.
The Be like Bill meme typically features an image of a simple stick figure, who may be wearing a knitted hat, together with text such as "Bill is on Facebook. Bill is a vegan. Bill doesn't tell everybody about it. Bill is smart. Be like Bill." The meme has been described as "a way for people to passive-aggressively call out social media behaviours that annoy them." The meme also attracted a large number of detractors who criticized the meme's tone and lack of self-awareness.
Be like Bill has a Facebook page, created by Eugeniu Croitoru and Debabrata Nath; as of 25 January 2016 the page had over 1.5 million "likes".
Boston officials used the meme to discourage the use of space savers in parking spots. The Queensland Police Service wrote a joke Facebook update stating that they were pursuing Bill for "repeatedly disturbing people’s timelines".
The meme has spawned foreign versions, including Bilal in Arabic, Rashid in Malaysia, and Jose in Spanish. A culturally-specific Afghani version is called Be like Qodos, written in Dari and Pashto.

* This elaborate, lavish production of the famed Rogers & Hammerstein musical is widely considered to be one of the best South Pacific incarnations to date! All one need do is listen to Ron Raines croon 'Some Enchanted Evening' to understand why. It was rumored when he would sing it, both cast & audience members alike would actually become 'hypnotized,' incapable of moving until he finished. His voice is absolutely mesmerizing, enjoy!
