"At this moment this is me at my most masochistic." "Bill... it's your ba" "(gunshot)" "(the bride) Looked dead, didn't I?" "Well, I wasn't." "But it wasn't from lack of trying, I can tell you that." "Actually, Bill's last bullet put me in a coma - a coma I was to lie in for four years." "When I woke up, I went on what the movie advertisements refer to as" ""a roaring rampage of revenge."" "I roared and I rampaged, and I got bloody satisfaction." "I've killed a hell of a lot of people to get to this point, but I have only one more." "The last one." "The one I'm driving to right now." "The only one left." "And when I arrive at my destination," "I am gonna kill Bill." "Kill Bill Vol 2 [2004] Blu-ray [HI]" "== sync, corrected by elderman ==" "(bride) Now, the incident that happened at the Two Pines Wedding Chapel that put this whole gory story into motion has since become legend." ""Massacre at Two Pines."" "That's what the newspapers called it." "The local TV news called it" ""The El Paso, Texas, Wedding Chapel Massacre."" "How it happened, who was there, how many got killed and who killed them changes depending on who's telling the story." "In actual fact, the massacre didn't happen during a wedding at all." "It was a wedding rehearsal." "Now, when we come to the part where I say," ""You may kiss the bride," you may kiss the bride, but don't stick your tongue in her mouth." "This might be funny to your friends, but it would be embarrassing to your parents." "We'll try to restrain ourselves, Reverend." "Y'all got a song?" "How 'bout "Love Me Tender"?" "I can play that." "Sure." "Yeah." ""Love Me Tender"'d be great." "Rufus - he's the man." "Rufus, who was that that you used to play for?" "Rufus Thomas." "Rufus Thomas." "Rufus Thomas." "I was a Drell." "I was a Drifter." "I was a Coaster." "I was part of the Gang." "I was a Bar-Kay." "If they come through Texas, I played with 'em." "Rufus - he's the man." "Have I forgotten anything?" "Um..." "Oh, yes." "You forgot, uh, the seating arrangements." "Thank you, Mother." "Yes." "Now, the way we normally do this, we have the bride's side, and then we have the groom's side." "But since the bride ain't got nobody comin', and the groom's got far too many people comin'..." "Well, yeah, they're comin' all the way from Oklahoma." "Right..." "Well, I don't see no problem with... the groom's side sharing the bride's side." "Do you, Mother?" "I don't have a problem with that." "But, uh..." "Honey, you know, it would be good if you had somebody come." "You know, as a sign of good faith?" "Well, I don't have anybody, except for Tommy and my friends." "You have no family?" "Well, I'm workin' on changing that." "Mrs. Harmony, we're all the family this little angel's ever gonna need." "I'm not feeling very well, and this bitch is starting to piss me off." "So while y'all blather on," "I'm gonna go outside and get some air." "OK." "Um, uh, Reverend, sorry, uh..." "She's gonna go out and get some air." "Yeah." "Given her delicate condition." "She just needs a few minutes to get it together." "She'll be OK." "(reverend) Right." "(♪ flute)" "Hello, Kiddo." "How did you find me?" "I'm the man." "What are you doin' here?" "What am I doin'?" "Well, a moment ago I was playing my flute." "At this moment" "I'm lookin' at the most beautiful bride these old eyes have ever seen." "Why are you here?" "Last look." "Are you gonna be nice?" "I've never been nice my whole life." "But I'll do my best to be sweet." "Hmm." "I always told you, your sweet side is your best side." "I guess that's why you're the only one who's ever seen it." "I see you got a bun in the oven." "Hmm." "I'm knocked up." "Jeez, Louise." "That young man of yours sure doesn't believe in wasting time, does he?" "Have you seen Tommy?" "Big guy in the tux?" "Yes." "Then I saw him." "I like his hair." "You promised you'd be nice." "No, I said I'd do my best." "That's hardly a promise." "But you're right." "What does your young man do for a living?" "He owns a used-record store here in El Paso." "Ah." "Music lover, eh?" "He's fond of music." "Aren't we all?" "And what are you doing for a J-O-B these days?" "I work in the record store." "Aso." "It all suddenly seems so clear." "Do you like it?" "Yeah." "I like it a lot, smartass." "I get to listen to music all day, talk about music all day." "It's really cool." "It's gonna be a great environment for my little girl to grow up in." "As opposed to jetting around the world, killing human beings and being paid vast sums of money?" "Precisely." "Well, my old friend, to each his own." "However, all cockblockery aside," "I am looking forward to meeting your young man." "I happen to be, more or less, particular whom my gal marries." "You want to come to the wedding?" "Only if I can sit on the bride's side." "You'll find it a bit lonely on my side." "Your side always was a bit lonely." "But I wouldn't sit anywhere else." "You know," "I had the loveliest dream about you..." "Oh, here's Tommy!" "Call me Arlene." "You must be Tommy!" "Uh-huh." "Arlene's told me so much about you." "Honey, you OK?" "Oh, I'm fine." "Tommy, I'd like you to meet my father." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God, this is great!" "I'm so glad to meet you, sir... oh, Dad." "The name's Bill." "Well, it's great to meet you..." "Bill." "Arlene told me you couldn't make it." "Surprise." "That's my pop for ya." "Always full of surprises." "Well, in the surprise department, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." "When did you get in?" "Just now." "Did you come straight from Australia?" "Of course." "Daddy, I told Tommy that you were in Perth mining for silver, and no one could reach you." "Lucky for us all, that's not the case." "So..." "What's this all about?" "I've heard of wedding rehearsals, but I don't believe I've ever heard of a wedding dress rehearsal before." "We thought, "Why pay so much money for a dress you're only gonna wear once?"" "Especially when Arlene looks so goddamn beautiful in it." "So I think we're gonna try to get all the mileage we can out of it." "Isn't it supposed to be bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the ceremony?" "Well..." "I guess I just believe in living dangerously." "I know just what you mean." "(reverend) Son." "Some of us have places to be." "(Rufus) Sure do." "Look, we gotta go through this one more time, so why don't you have a s..." "Oh, my God." "What am I thinking?" "You should give her away!" "Tommy, that's not exactly Daddy's cup of tea." "I think Father would be much more comfortable sitting with the rest of the guests." "Hmm." "Really?" "That's asking a lot." "Oh." "OK." "Well, forget it." "But how about we go out to dinner tonight to celebrate?" "Only on the condition that I pay for everything." "Deal." "We got to do this now." "Can I watch?" "Absolutely." "Have a seat." "Which is the bride's side?" "Right over here." "(reverend) Mother, here we go!" "Now, son, about them vows... (♪ guitar)" "Bill..." "I just want..." "You don't owe me a damn thing." "If he's the man you want, then go stand by him." "Do I look pretty?" "Oh, yes." "Thank you." "(reverend) What the hell?" "(screaming)" "(bride) No!" "Bill!" "(machine-gun fire)" "(barking)" "(bell tolls)" "(bird chirps)" "You tellin' me she cut her way through 88 bodyguards 'fore she got to O-Ren?" "Nah, there wasn't really 88 of 'em." "They just call themselves "The Crazy 88."" "How come?" "I don't know." "I guess they thought it sounded cool." "Anyhow, they all fell under her Hanzo sword." "She got a Hanzo sword?" "He made one for her." "Didn't he swear a blood oath to never make another sword?" "It would appear he has broken it." "Them Japs sure know how to hold a grudge, don't they?" "Or maybe... you just tend to bring that out in people." "I know this is a ridiculous question before I ask it, but you haven't, by any chance, kept up with your... swordplay?" "I, um... (belches) I pawned that years ago." "You hocked a Hattori Hanzo sword?" "Yep." "It was priceless." "Well, not in El Paso, it ain't." "In El Paso, I got me $250 for it." "I'm a bouncer in a titty bar, Bill." "(sniffs)" "If she wants to fight with me, all she's gotta do is come down to the club and start some shit, and we'll be in a fight."

"That woman deserves her revenge." "And we deserve to die." "But, then again, so does she." "So I guess we'll just see." "Won't we?" "(♪ distant music)" "(♪ woman singing in Spanish)" "Late again."

"Take a hit." "Be somebody, baby." "You looking for me?" "I don't know what car wash you worked before you came here that let you stroll in 20 minutes late, but it wasn't owned by me and I own a fuckin' car wash." "Do you want me to leave?" "No, I don't want you to leave." "I want you to sit and wait." "Larry, there ain't nobody out there, so... (slurring) "There's nobody out there, Larry."" "What's your point?" "That you're not needed here?" "My point is I'm the bouncer, and there ain't nobody out there to bounce." "You saying that the reason that you're not doing the job that I'm paying you to do is that you don't have a job to do?" "No..." "Is that what you're saying?" "What are you trying to convince me of, exactly?" "That you're as useless as an asshole right here?" "Well, guess what, buddy." "I think you just fucking convinced me." "Let's go to the calendar." "It's calendar time." "Calendar time for Buddy." "OK." "You working tomorrow?" "Yeah." "Mm." "No, you're n..." "You don't even know what fucking day you work." "Here." "You're not working tomorrow."

"OK?" "Saturday." "There used to be your name." "Oh." "Uh, Monday..." "Here, how about that?" "Fuckin' with your cash is the only thing you kids seem to understand." "OK?" "Now, I want you to go home till I call you." "Till I call you." "Before you leave, talk to Rocket." "She's got a job for you to do." "And... the hat." "That fuckin' hat." "That fucking hat." "How many times have I told you, don't wear that fucking hat here?" "How many?" "Customers wear hats." "Well, I'm not the boss of the customers." "I'm the boss of you."

"And she asked me, "If Mommy's been asleep since I was born, then how will she know what I look like?"" "To which I replied, "Because Mommy's been dreaming of you."" "That's what I said." "Did you dream of me?" "I dreamed of you." "Every single night, baby." "Every single night." "I waited a long time for you to wake up, Mommy." "Now, let me look at you." "Oh." "My, my, my, what a pretty little girl you are." "You're pretty too, Mommy." "Tell Mommy what you said when I showed you her picture." "Mm-mm." "Come on, shy girl." "Mm-mm." "Come on." "You know what you said." "Come on." "Tell Mommy." "It'll make her feel good." "Come on." "Mm-mm." "Yeah." "Come on." "I said..." "I said" ""You're the most beautifulest woman" "I ever saw in the whole wide world."" "That's the truth." "That's what she said." "B.B., don't you think Mommy has the prettiest hair in the whole wide world?" "Yes, I do." "Matter of fact, it's better than pretty." "What's better than pretty?" "Mmm..." "Gorgeous." "Very good." "Gorgeous." "Mommy is gorgeous." "Hmm." "You know, sweetie, Mommy's kinda mad at Daddy." "Why, Daddy?" "Were you being a bad daddy?" "I'm afraid I was." "I was a real bad daddy." "Our little girl learned about life and death the other day." "Wanna tell Mommy about what happened to Emilio?" "I killed him." "Emilio was her goldfish." "Emilio was my goldfiss." "She came running into my room, holding the fish in her hand and crying," ""Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Emilio's dead."" "And I said, "Really?" "That's so sad."" ""How did he die?"" "And what did you say?" "I stepped on him." "Actually, young lady, the words you so strategically used were" ""I accidentally stepped on him."" "To which I queried," ""And just how did your foot accidentally find its way into Emilio's fishbowl?"" "And she said, "No, no, no." "Emilio was on the carpet when I stepped on him."" "Mmm." "The plot thickens." ""And just how did Emilio get on the carpet?"" "And, Mommy, you would've been so proud of her." "She didn't lie." "She said she took Emilio out of his bowl and put him on the carpet." "And what was Emilio doing on the carpet?" "Flapping." "And then you stomped on him." "Uh-huh." "And when you lifted up your foot, what was Emilio doing then?" "Nothing." "He stopped flapping, didn't he?" "She told me later that the second she lifted up her foot and saw Emilio not flapping, she knew what she had done." "Is that not the perfect visual image of life and death?" "A fish flapping on the carpet, and a fish not flapping on the carpet." "So powerful, even a four-year-old with no concept of life or death knew what it meant." "You loved Emilio, didn't you?" "Uh-huh." "Well, I love Mommy, too." "But I did to Mommy what you did to Emilio." "You stomped on Mommy?" "Worse." "I shot Mommy." "Not pretend shooting like we were just doing." "I shot her for real." "Why?" "Did you want to see what would happen?" "No, I knew what would happen to Mommy if I shot her." "What I didn't know was, when I shot Mommy, what would happen to me." "What happened?" "I was very sad." "And that's when I learned some things, once you do, they can never be undone." "What happened to Mommy?" "Why don't you ask Mommy?" "You OK, Mommy?" "Did it hurt?" "No, sweetie." "Doesn't hurt anymore." "Did it make you sick?" "No." "It made me sleep." "That's why I haven't been with you, B.B. I've been asleep." "But you're awake now, Mommy." "Right?" "I'm wide awake, pretty girl." "B.B., would you like Mommy to watch a video with you before sleepy time?" "Uh-huh." "Mommy, do you wanna watch a video with me before sleepy time?" "Oh, yeah!" "I would love to." "Which one do you wanna watch?" "Shogun Assassin." "No, B.B. Shogun Assassin is too long." "Mm-mm." "No, it's not." "Well, then," "I'll leave you ladies to it." "(boy) When I was little, my father was famous." "He was the greatest samurai in the empire." "And he was the shogun's decapitator." "He cut off the heads of 131 lords." "My father would come home to Mother, and when he would see her he would forget about the killings." "He wasn't scared of the shogun, but the shogun was scared of him." "Maybe that was the problem." "One night, the shogun sent...

"♪ Why should I care?" "♪ Please don't bother trying to find her" "♪ She's not there ♪" "I was just admiring your sword." "Quite a piece of work." "Speaking of which, how is Hanzo-san?" "He's good." "Has his sushi gotten any better?" "You know, I couldn't believe it." "You got him to make you a sword." "It was easy." "I just dropped your name, Bill." "That'd do it." "♪ Well, no one told me about her" "♪ Well, no one told me about her" "I suppose the idea is we cross Hanzo swords." "Am I right?" "Well, it just so happens this hacienda has its own private beach." "And that private beach just so happens to look particularly beautiful bathed in moonlight." "And there just so happens to be a full moon out tonight." "So, sword fighter, if you want a sword fight, that's where I suggest." "But if you wanna be old school about it" " and you know I'm all about old school - then we could wait until dawn and slice each other up at sunrise like a couple of real-life, honest..." "Now, if you don't settle down," "I'm gonna have to put one in your kneecap." "And I hear tell that's a very painful place to get shot in." "(laughs)" "I'm just fuckin' with you." "Now, when it comes to you and us" "I have a few unanswered questions." "So, before this tale of bloody revenge reaches its climax," "I'm gonna ask you some questions, and I want you to tell me the truth." "However, therein lies a dilemma." "Because when it comes to the subject of me," "I believe you are truly and utterly incapable of telling the truth." "Especially to me." "And least of all, to yourself." "And when it comes to the subject of me," "I am truly and utterly incapable of believing anything you say." "How do you suppose we solve this dilemma?" "Well, it just so happens," "I have a solution." "Agh!" "Gotcha!" "(grunting) God damn!" "(laughs)" "What the fuck did you just shoot me with?" "My greatest invention." "Or at least my favorite." "Don't touch it, or I'll stick another one right in your cheek." "What lies within that dart, just begging to course its way through your veins is an incredibly potent and quite infallible truth serum." "I call it "The Undisputed Truth."" "Twice as strong as sodium pentothal, with no druggie aftereffects." "Except for a slight wave of euphoria." "You feel it?" "Euphoria?" "Yeah." "No." "Too bad." "As you know," "I'm quite keen on comic books." "Especially the ones about superheroes." "I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating." "Take my favorite superhero, Superman." "Not a great comic book." "Not particularly well drawn." "Mmm." "But the mythology..." "The mythology is not only great, it's unique." "How long does this shit take to go into effect?" "About two minutes." "Just long enough for me to finish my point." "Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego." "Batman is actually Bruce Wayne," "Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker." "When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker." "He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man." "And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone." "Superman didn't become Superman." "Superman was born Superman." "When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman." "His alter ego is Clark Kent." "His outfit with the big red "S,"" "that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him." "Those are his clothes." "What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume." "That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us." "Clark Kent is how Superman views us." "And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent?" "He's weak, he's unsure of himself, he's a coward." "Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race." "Sorta like Beatrix Kiddo and Mrs. Tommy Plympton." "Aso." "The point emerges." "You would've worn the costume of Arlene Plympton." "But you were born Beatrix Kiddo." "And every morning when you woke up, you'd still be Beatrix Kiddo." "Oh, you can take the needle out." "Are you calling me a superhero?" "I'm calling you a killer." "A natural-born killer." "You always have been, and you always will be." "Moving to El Paso, working in a used-record store, goin' to the movies with Tommy, clipping coupons." "That's you trying to disguise yourself as a worker bee." "That's you tryin' to blend in with the hive." "But you're not a worker bee." "You're a renegade killer bee." "And no matter how much beer you drank or barbecue you ate or how fat your ass got, nothing in the world would ever change that." "First question:" "did you really think your life in El Paso was gonna work?" "No!" "But I would've had B.B.!" "Don't get me wrong." "I think you would have been a wonderful mother." "But you are a killer." "All those people you killed to get to me felt damn good, didn't they?" "Yes." "Every single one of them?" "Yes." "That was the warmup round." "Now comes the $64,000 question." "Why did you run away from me with my baby?" "Do you remember the last assignment you sent me on?" "Of course." "Lisa Wong." "The morning I left, I was sick." "On the plane, I threw up." "So I started thinking maybe I was pregnant." ""Easy to use." "Remove cap and urinate on the absorbent end for five seconds."" ""Accurate results in only 90 seconds."" ""You can read the results as soon as the line appears in the window."" "(sighs)" "(clock ticking)" "Fuck." "(Beatrix) What I didn't know was that somewhere on my journey" "I had been spotted." "With me in L.A., it didn't take Lisa Wong long to send an assassin of her own." "(doorbell) (Beatrix) Hello, can I help you?" "Hello, I'm Karen Kim." "I'm the hospitality manager of the hotel." "I have a welcome gift from the management." "Oh, that's nice." "Um..." "Can you just leave it by the door?" "You pretty good with that shotgun?" "Not that I have to be at this range, but I'm a fuckin' surgeon with this shotgun." "Well, guess what, bitch." "I'm better than Annie Oakley, and I got you right in my sight." "I could blow your fuckin' head off." "Not before I put one right between your eyes, so let's talk." "Karen..." "I just found out right now not a moment before you blew a hole through the door that I'm pregnant." "What is this?" "On the floor by the door is a strip that says I'm pregnant." "Bullshit." "Any other time you'd be 100 percent right." "This time you're 100 percent wrong." "I'm the deadliest woman in the world." "But right now" "I'm just scared shitless for my baby." "Please." "Just look at the strip." "Please!" "Stay where you are and don't move." "I don't know what this fuckin' shit means." "The box with the directions - it's right there." ""Easy to use."" ""Remove the cap and urinate on the absorbent end."" "Blue means pregnant." "I'll read it myself, thank you." "Oh, OK." "Say I were to believe you." "What then?" "Just go home." "I'll do the same." "(opens door)" "Congratulations." "Before that strip turned blue" "I was a woman." "I was your woman." "I was a killer who killed for you." "Before that strip turned blue," "I would've jumped a motorcycle onto a speeding train." "For you." "But once that strip turned blue" "I could no longer do any of those things." "Not anymore." "Because I was gonna be a mother." "Can you understand that?" "Yes." "But why didn't you tell me then, instead of now?" "Once you knew, you'd claim her." "And I didn't want that." "Not your decision to make." "Yes." "But it's the right decision, and I made it for my daughter." "She deserved to be born with a clean slate." "But with you she would've been born into a world she shouldn't have." "I had to choose." "I chose her." "You know, five years ago, if I had to make a list of impossible things that could never happen, you performing a coup de grâce on me by bustin' a cap in my crown" "would've been right at the top of the list." "I'd have been wrong, wouldn't I?" "I'm sorry." "Was that a question?" "Of impossible things that could never happen, yes, in this instance, you would've been wrong." "Well?" "When you never came back," "I naturally assumed Lisa Wong, or somebody else, had killed you." "Oh!" "And for the record, letting somebody think somebody they love is dead when they're not is quite cruel." "I mourned you for three months." "And in the third month of mourning you" "I tracked you down." "I wasn't tryin' to track you down." "I was tryin' to track down the fucking assholes I thought killed you." "So I find you." "And what do I find?" "Not only are you not dead, you're getting married to some fucking jerk." "And you're pregnant." "I... overreacted." "You overreacted?" "Is that your explanation?" "I didn't say I was gonna explain myself." "I said I was gonna tell you the truth." "But if that's too cryptic, let's get literal." "I'm a killer." "I'm a murdering bastard." "You know that." "And there are consequences to breaking the heart of a murdering bastard." "You experienced some of them." "Was my reaction really that surprising?" "Yes." "It was." "Could you do what you did?" "Of course you could." "But I never thought you would, or could, do that to me." "I'm really sorry, Kiddo, but you thought wrong." "You and I have unfinished business." "Baby... you ain't kiddin'." "(gasps)" "(groans)" "Pai Mei taught you the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique?" "'Course he did." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I don't know." "Because I'm a bad person." "No." "You're not a bad person." "You're a terrific person." "You're my favorite person." "But every once in a while you can be a real cunt." "How do I look?" "You look ready." "Well, well, well."
