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
小南瓜:现在的问题是,你正在铤而走险,就像是你在抢劫一家银行。你面临着更多的危险,银行要更容易。打劫一家联邦银行,你甚至不需要一把枪。我是说,他们已经保了险,他们为什么要找死?我曾听过这么一个家伙,拿着一个手机走进银行。他把手机给出纳员,电话另一头的家伙说,我们已经抓住了这个家伙的女儿,如果你不把所有的钱给他,我们就要杀死她。
Honey Bunny: Did it work
小兔子:这有用吗?
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
小南瓜:他妈的好啊,有用。那就像我说的一样。傻瓜拿着一部电话走进银行!没有一把手枪,没有一把猎枪,就是一个他妈的电话。把场子清理出去,甚至不需要动他妈的一根手指。

Honey Bunny: No more liquor stores

小南瓜:我们正在谈论什么?是啊,没有更多的酒店。除此之外,它不再是过去傻乎乎大笑的它。现在有太多外国人有酒店。越南人,韩国人,他们甚至不说他妈的英语。你告诉他们,把冰箱倒空,他们甚至不知道你他妈的在说什么。他们把它视为个人的私事,有些东南亚的傻瓜们逼着要我们杀死他。
Honey Bunny: I'm not gonna kill anybody
小兔子:我不想杀死任何人。
Pumpkin: I don't want to kill anybody either But they'll probably put us in a situation where it's us or them And if it's not the gooks, it's these old fucking Jews who've owned the store for fifteen fucking generations, you've got Grampa Irving sitting behind the counter with a fucking Magnum in his hand Try walking into one of those places with nothing but a phone, see how far you get
小南瓜:我也不想杀死任何人。但是他们会把我们逼到那种境地,不是我们就是他们。并且要是不是这些东南亚仔,而是这些老不死的犹太人他妈的十五代人拥有一家商店,你就会让老爷爷欧文坐在收银台后面手里拿着一个他妈的大酒瓶。为了拿一个电话而不是别的东西试图走进这些地方,你都会发现困难重重。

JULES:There's a passage I got memorized Ezekiel 25:17 "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children 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 I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you" I been sayin' that shit for years And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass I never really questioned what it meant I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker 'fore you popped a cap in his ass But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice Now I'm thinkin', it could mean you're the evil man And I'm the righteous man And Mr 45 here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish I'd like that But that shit ain't the truth The truth is you're the weak And I'm the tyranny of evil men But I'm tryin' I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd
朱尔斯:我记得其中有一段。以西结书第25章第17节。“正义者的道路被暴虐之恶人包围。以慈悲和善意带领弱者走出黑暗的山谷,他是同伴的守护者,寻回迷途的羔羊。倘若企图毒害和消灭我兄弟的人,我会怀着巨大的愤怒和无比的仇恨去杀死他们。当我复仇的时候,他们将知道我的名字是耶和华。”很多年来我一直说这段话,听过的人都挂了。我从没有想过其中的涵义,我仅仅把它当作一段对将要被我杀的混蛋的冷血宣言。但今天早上的一些事让我思考了又思考。现在我想到了,也许它意味着你是邪恶的人,而我是正义的人,这把9毫米手枪是在黑暗的山谷中的我的守护者;或者它意味着,你是正义的人而我是守护者,这个世界是充满了自私和暴虐的。我比较喜欢后者。但这些都不是事实。事实是,你是弱者,我是邪恶的人。但我在努力着,努力着要成为守护者。
