Bill: Once upon a time in China, some believe, around the year one double-aught three, head priest of the White Lotus Clan, Pai Mei, was walking down the road, contemplating whatever it is that a man of Pai Mei’s infinite power contemplates – which is another way of saying \u00abwho knows?\u00bb – when a Shaolin monk appeared, traveling in the opposite direction. As the monk and the priest crossed paths, Pai Mei, in a practically unfathomable display of generosity, gave the monk the slightest of nods. The nod was not returned. Now was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei? Or did he just fail to see the generous social gesture? The motives of the monk remain unknown. What is known, are the consequences. The next morning Pai Mei appeared at the Shaolin Temple and demanded of the Temple’s head abbot that he offer Pai Mei his neck to repay the insult. The Abbot at first tried to console Pai Mei, only to find Pai Mei was inconsolable. So began the massacre of the Shaolin Temple and all sixty of the monks inside at the fists of the White Lotus. And so began the legend of Pai Mei’s five-point-palm-exploding-heart technique.<\/p>\n
The Bride: And what, pray tell, is the five-point-palm-exploding-heart technique?<\/p>\n
Bill: Quite simply, the deadliest blow in all of martial arts. He hits you with his fingertips at five different pressure points on your body. And then he lets you walk away. But after you’ve taken five steps, your heart explodes inside your body, and you fall to the floor, dead. <\/p>\n
Bill: 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 going to 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.
\nThe Bride: How do you suppose we solve this dilemma?
\nBill: Well, it just so happens I have a solution.
\n[he shoots The Bride leg]
\nBill: Gotcha! <\/p>\n
Bill: As you know, l’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. But the mythology… The mythology is not only great, it’s unique. 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 \u00abS\u00bb, 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 Plimpton.
\nThe Bride: Aso. The point Emerges.
\nBill: You would’ve worn the costume of Arlene Plimpton. 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. <\/p>\n

Hattori Hanzo: I’m done doing what I swore an oath to God 28 years ago to never do again. I’ve created, \u00absomething that kills people.\u00bb And in that purpose I was a success. I’ve done this, because philosophically I’m sympathetic to your aim. I can tell you with no ego, this is my finest sword. If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut. <\/p>\n
Hattori Hanzo: Revenge is never a straight line. It’s a forest, And like a forest it’s easy to lose your way… To get lost… To forget where you came in. <\/p>\n
Title Card: \u00abRevenge is a dish best served cold\u00bb – Old Klingon proverb. <\/p>\n
**Kill Bill Volume 1**<\/p>\n
Matt Farrell: Have you done that kind of stuff before?<\/p>\n
John McClane: Stuff like what?
\nMatt Farrell: Like killing people?
\nJohn McClane: Yeah. But not for a long time.
\nMatt Farrell: [upset] Who were those guys? Huh? Why were they trying to kill you? Why did they blow up my goddamn apartment?
\nJohn McClane: They were there to kill you.
\nMatt Farrell: Why would they want to kill me?
\nJohn McClane: You tell me, kid. You’re the criminal. <\/p>\n

Businessman: You don’t like flying, do you?
\nJohn McClane: What gives you that idea?
\nBusinessman: You want to know the secret to surviving air travel? After you get where you’re going, take off your shoes and your socks then walk around on the rug bare foot and make fists with your toes.
\nJohn McClane: Fists with your toes?
\nBusinessman: I know, it sounds crazy. Trust me, I’ve been doing it for nine years. Yessir, better than a shower and a hot cup of coffee.
\nJohn McClane: OK.
\n[the businessman sees a gun in McClane’s pocket]
\nJohn McClane: It’s okay. I’m a cop. Trust me, I’ve been doing this for eleven years. <\/p>\n
