Pumpkin: The way it is now, you're taking the same risk as when you rob a bank. You take more of a risk, banks are easier. You don't even need a gun in a federal bank. I mean, they're insured, why should they give a fuck? I heard of this one guy, walks into a bank with a portable phone. He gives the phone to the teller, a guy on the other end of the line says, we've got this guy's little girl, if you don't give him all your money, we're gonna kill her.::Yolanda: Did it work?::Pumpkin: Fucking-A right, it worked. That's what I'm saying. Knucklehead walks into a bank with a telephone! Not a pistol, not a shotgun, but a fucking phone. Cleans the place out, doesn't even lift a fucking finger.::Yolanda: Did they hurt the little girl?::Pumpkin: I don't know, there probably never was a little girl in the first place. The point of the story isn't the little girl, the point of the story is, they robbed a bank with a telephone.

How are they?::Brett: They're good.::Jules: Mind if I try one of yours? This is yours here, right? [Picks up burger and takes a bite] Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger. Vincent, ever have a Big Kahuna Burger? [Vincent shakes his head] Wanna bite? They're real tasty.::Vincent: Ain't hungry.::Jules: Well, if you like burgers give 'em a try sometime. I can't usually get 'em myself because my girlfriend's a vegitarian which pretty much makes me a vegitarian. But I do love the taste of a good burger. Mm-mm-mm. You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?::Brett: No.::Jules: Tell 'em, Vincent.::Vincent: A Royale with cheese.::Jules: A Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that?::Brett: Because of the metric system?::Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett! You're a smart motherfucker. That's right. The metric system. What's in this?::Brett: Sprite.::Jules: Sprite, good. You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?::Brett: Go right ahead.::Jules: Ah, hit the spot.

[Jules, Vincent and Jimmie are drinking coffee in Jimmie's kitchen]::Jules: Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?::Jimmie: Knock it off, Julie.::Jules: [pause] What?::Jimmie: I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage.::Jules: Oh, Jimmie, don't even worry about that...::Jimmie: [interupting] No, No, No, No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?::Jules: Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no...::Jimmie: [cutting him off again; getting angry] Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?::Jules: [pause] No. I didn't.::Jimmie: You know WHY you didn't see that sign?::Jules: Why?::Jimmie: 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead niggers ain't my fucking business, that's why!
