Russian people have such a speech trait - quoting. Sometimes without noticing it, we repeat catchphrases from "quote films" such as "The Diamond Arm", "Irony of Fate", "DMB" and many others. As a rule, these films are of our production. But it happens that a film appears at the box office that is instantly parsed for quotes on both sides of the ocean, regardless of the original language. The cult Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino is such a film.

The secret of success

Many films shoot at the box office like a colorful fireworks - stellar cast, special effects, twisted plot ... They collect a large box office and are forgotten. And some, not distinguished by a spectacular picture, remain in memory for decades, and interest in them does not disappear. What is the reason? In successful phrases! Said aptly and witty, such quotes make any film akin to a literary work. from "Pulp Fiction":

"Don't tell me about foot massage, I'm a damn master!"

Vincent: "Well, if you play with matches, then be prepared to get burned."

Mia on the awkward silence:

"Why does everyone have to talk about nonsense in order to feel at ease?"

Mia on male gossip:

"You men, if you gossip, it's worse than housewives."

Marsellus on older boxers:

"If you think older is better, you're wrong."

Jules on favorite hamburgers found on the hostage table:

“If you’re talking about love for burgers, then you must try these. I usually don’t eat them - my girlfriend is a vegetarian, which means I’m partly a vegetarian. But I can’t deny myself the taste of a quality cutlet.”

Fabian on a small tummy:

"Not everything that is pleasing to the eye is pleasing to the touch."

"To go there half an hour, then wait in ten minutes."

"If my answers scare you, don't ask scary questions."

The power of dialogue

Many quotes from the movie "Pulp Fiction" are not separate phrases, but whole dialogues. Among the fans of the film, it is considered a special chic when someone says a single phrase, and the other picks it up - thus, a whole scene is played out. The following are the best quotes-dialogues from "Pulp Fiction" in Russian.

Mia and Vincent, outraged by the price of a milkshake:

Vincent: "A milkshake is just ice cream with milk?" Mia: "Something like that." Vincent: "Five bucks? Will they put bourbon in it?"

A little bit later:

Vincent: "Damn good milkshake! Not sure about five bucks, but still good."

Vincent: "Promise me you won't be offended."

Mia: "And how can I promise that, not knowing what you can ask me. Go ahead, ask what you want, but of course I can be offended and then reluctantly break my promise."

Fabian, Butch and Zed's motorcycle:

Fabian: Whose motorcycle is this?

Butch: It's not a motorcycle, it's a chopper, baby.

Fabian: Whose chopper is this?

Butch: Zeda.

Fabian: Who is Zed?

Butch: Zed is dead, baby, Zed is dead.

Jules and Jimmy, after an embarrassing incident in the car:

Jimmy: I want to ask you one question. As you drove up, did you see the sign that read "Dead Niggas Warehouse"?

Jules: No, I didn't.

Jimmy: Do you want to know why you didn't notice the "Dead Niger" sign? Jules: Why?

Jimmy: Because it's not there! I do not earn on dead nigers!

Fabian and Butch discuss blueberry pie:

Butch: Nobody eats pie for breakfast.

Fabian: Pie is good at any time of the day.

Le Big Mac

A separate theme of the dialogues between Vincent and Jules, which runs through most of their conversations, is Vincent's journey through Europe and his stories that:

They are a little different there. I mean, everything is exactly the same there as it is here, only a little different ...

Vincent and Jules on differences in the police system:

Vincent: Here they have a cop who slows you down - but he has no right to search. The cops don't have that right!

Jules: That's it, I'm moving there, and don't try to dissuade me.

Vincent: I knew you'd appreciate it.

Vincent and Jules on European differences in hamburgers:

Vincent: Do you want to know what the four with cheese is called in Paris?

Jules: Don't they call him Cheese Quarter?

Vincent: It's all about the metric system. A quarter of a pound for them is incomprehensible crap.

Jules: And what did they call him?

Vincent: They call it Cheese Royale.

Jules: "Royal with cheese"? What do they call "Big Mac" then?

Vincent: A Big Mac is still a Big Mac. Only they have it sounds "Le Big Mac".

And now about potatoes and mayonnaise:

Vincent: Do you know what they have there in Holland instead of ketchup for potatoes?

Jules: I'm afraid to find out.

Vincent: Damn mayonnaise!

Jules: Your mother!

Vincent: I saw it myself! And it's not in a separate dipping bowl, they're just drowning the potatoes in the damn mayonnaise!

A little later, the same question about the fourth with cheese is asked to the hostage - Brad:

Jules: Do you know why?

Brad: Because of the metric system?

Jules: Look, our Brad is brainy! Smart son of a bitch, that's for sure - all clearings.

Quote without words

One of the highlights of the movie is Mia and Vincent dancing to the music of Chuck Berry. He is so famous that even those who have not watched the film themselves will recognize the cool "twist" movements from him. Mia's outstretched fingers, which she passes past her eyes, splashes with her hands and the "twist" on her toes are also quotes from Pulp Fiction. The twist is a popular American dance that originated in the United States at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s. In our country, the twist became widely known in the late 60s, after the release of the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus, or Shurik's New Adventures" - in it the hero of Evgeny Morgunov - Experienced - teaches "to crush a cigarette butt with your toe like this - op-op-op." By the end of the 20th century, this dance, of course, managed to go out of fashion, but after the release of "Pulp Fiction" in 1994, it became popular again - both in the USA and in Russia. In this video, you can watch (and even memorize) the famous "quotes" from "Pulp Fiction" in the original.

It is believed that this dance Quentin Tarantino "peeped" from another - Fellini, in his film "Eight and a Half". Even so, it's not surprising, Quentin himself is a big fan of quotes and a connoisseur of good cinema, so real cinephiles can find references to other films in all his films.

Fuckin good milkshake!

Some quotes are so capacious and sonorous in the original that even Russian-speaking viewers are quoted without translation. Best quotes from the movie "Pulp Fiction" in English:

"Fuckin good milkshake!" - "Damn good milkshake!" Vincent Vega exclaimed this after tasting a cocktail that, in his opinion, did not attract the price of five dollars. You can often hear how this phrase is pronounced in English after tasting anything - any drink or even just some unexpectedly delicious food. If the father of the family is a fan of this film, he will definitely quote this when he takes a sip of a milkshake from his offspring.

"Say "what" agayn!" - "Say "what" again!" In the hostage interrogation scene, a guy named Brad, out of fright, answers all Jules' questions with only "what?". Jules loses his temper: "Say 'what' one more time and I'll shoot your head off!" From the picture "Pulp Fiction" quotes in English can be heard as often as in Russian, but if someone asks and repeats the word "what" too often, there is no doubt that a fan of the film will answer him in English, and even imitating the intonation of Samuel L. Jackson.

Keep up, Ketchup!

One of the film's effervescent jokes is Mia's "not funny" anecdote about the Tomato family. Despite the untranslatable pun, this anecdote still became a quote from "Pulp Fiction" in Russian.

Mia: There are three tomatoes coming: Papa Pomodoro, Mama Pomodoro and Son Pomodoro. Son Tomato always lags behind, and Papa Tomato starts to get angry. He comes up to his son, steps on him and says: "Keep up, Ketchup!"

In the original, the last phrase sounds like a play on words - "ketchup" - ketchup and "catch up" - catch up, catch up.

The path of the righteous

Throughout the film, Jules quotes a passage from the Bible several times, which he really likes, but his interpretation is rather unusual. In fact, the book of the prophet Ezekiel says neither about the path of the righteous nor about the shepherd. The verse about the wrath of the Lord goes like this:

I will execute great vengeance on them with furious punishments; and they will know that I am the LORD when I execute my vengeance on them.

Here is a quote from Jules:

The path of the righteous is difficult, because selfish and tyrants from evil people hinder him. Blessed is that shepherd who, in the name of mercy and kindness, leads the weak through the valley of darkness. For it is he who truly cares for his neighbor and brings back the children of the lost. And I will execute great vengeance on them with fierce punishments, on those who plot to poison and harm my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord, when my vengeance falls on you.

What are the quotes

Quotes from "Pulp Fiction" are a cultural code that distinguishes not only fans of a particular film, but also fans of Quentin Tarantino, and fans of art-house cinema in general. They can be put in a status on a social network, you can make an inscription on a T-shirt, you can tell it as an original anecdote. But some Pulp Fiction fans don't stop there.

For example, Australian musician and blogger Christopher Bertke, better known online as Pogo, made an entire music video based on quotes from this film.
