"Why would you leave your gun out there?" The question everyone asks, and which I always feel compelled to explain, because it is definitely confusing the first time you see this. The gun isn't Vincent's. The gun is Marcellus's. Marcellus and Vincent were at Butch's apartment waiting for him or searching the place. Marcellus went out to get them breakfast, which is why Butch runs across him moments later, crossing the street while holding donuts and drinks. Since Marcellus was going to the store, he couldn't very well carry a machine gun in with him, so he left his big gun at the apartment but kept his hand gun on him, hidden under his suit jacket. Vincent stayed behind, but since he's a heroine addict and has bowel problems as a result, he had to hit the bathroom yet again, leaving the apartment unguarded for a few minutes. When someone came in while he was in the bathroom, and he no doubt heard them moving around in the kitchen a few yards away, he figured it was just his boss returned from the store, not Butch returned and making himself some Pop Tarts. Should he have grabbed the gun and brought it with him into the bathroom? Probably, but let's be honest, Vincent wasn't exactly the brightest bulb in the batch.

[@dusterss6290]

I just think Vincent is messing up because he is taking heroine. And also by that point he has lost his partner but has forgotten that dangerous situations need two people.

[@basher5107]

Marcellus went to buy breakfast? He is the King of LA breakfast comes to him,your theory is baseless.

[@Elerad]

@@basher5107 Err, it's what Tarantino said. Plus, you can SEE he's carrying drinks and food when Butch hits him.

[@larindanomikos]

That's great. That never occurred to me.

[@wizardglick9609]

That's brilliant!

[@laudanum669]

TRIVIA: When Tarantino was still working on this script and thinking about who should play the parts he thought of Travolta for the part of Vincent. Tarantino really didn't have a lot of money at the time despite his prior success with selling the "True Romance" screen play and his film "Reservoir Dogs". So he was living in a small apartment in LA. He called Travolta and asked if he would come to his place and talk about possibly being in the movie. When Travolta got there he realized it was the exact same apartment he lived in back in the 70's when he first moved to LA. Weird.

[@yankeesfan3961]

Also, for the role of Vincent, Tarantino wanted the actor Micheal Madsen to do it. However, Michael Madsen was committed to be in the movie Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner at the same time so he couldn't do Pulp Fiction. So Tarantino went to Travolta which restarted his career to A List status again. Such a great movie!

[@kindbrute4640]

@@yankeesfan3961 Technically speaking Vince Vega is the brother of Madsen's character in Reservoir Dogs

[@MAGICCOFFEY]

Also Bruce Willis really wanted to play Travoltas character instead of butch. When he was declined he then asked to play Jackson's role.

[@jackal59]

The reason that Travolta's character was taking so long in the bathroom at the restaurant and the reason he was in the john at Butch's apartment was because he was a heroin addict. Opiates constipate you.

[@ninjavigilante5311]

I love that part in the movie, Vincent disrepected butch for no reason earlier on.. You don't do that to Bruce Willis in his hay day.

[@versetripn6631]

@@ninjavigilante5311 Vince dissed Butch because: A) He knew OF Butch and while on Wallace's turf, Vincent saw the "For Sale" sign around the mediocre boxer's neck. Contrary to the "Vega" arrogance of being a friend of the "Big Man". Like brother "Vic" and Joe Kappa. Vic's downfall as a former "Enforcer", was being more 'Psychotic' after Prison, then teaming with Heist men who play by different rules. Vince likely returned from Amsterdam LESS functional and prone to low awareness and time-slippage in key moments. Begins job 1 by rolling a smoke rather than securing all rooms with he and Jules' uncertain target #'s. 🤣 (BATHROOMS!). Regarding "the Diss"...I liken it to Burt Reynolds as 'Paul Crewe' in 'The Longest Yard'. His Sugar Mama dissed him, so he wrecked her car on purpose, (Butch/gf's Honda/Oops!). 2 Officers find him drunk at a bar 😉. The "miniature cop" (Inferiority Complex?) goads Crewe and they fight. t In prison, Guards and Convicts all know OF the Superstar who dissed the game for $$. So...they dissed him. A point-shaving pro QB "For Sale". A double-crossing 'end of line' boxer, acting "For Sale". When Butch stops at the Pawn Shop door to rethink the drama in the basement...that was HIS 'Longest Yard'. For his ancestors and the "Warrior Code"...Butch was redeemed. Unlike in 'No Country for Old Men', when Josh Brolin chose to take water to a thirsty man at the O.K. Corral hours after...., he F**KED UP!!

I always figured they were rookie drug dealers who got their drugs spotted to them. They pay Marcellus back when selling all the drugs. (That is how drug dealers operate in a pyramid type scheme and prevent people from moving up the line of supply) So they’ve been up doin lines all night and probably stopped just before dawn, got a lil nap, and then went about the day. Hamburgers at 7am is very much “up all night” activities

The gun in the kitchen wasn't Travolta's, it was the mob boss's gun, who left to get the donuts and coffee he was carrying later, when Butch runs him over. It was too big to carry around in the world.

[@boxcarhobo7017]

Thank you. That changes the whole dynamic. That means Travolta was armed, but assumed the casual toaster noise had to be Marcelis, never dreaming it was actually Bitch. And once he walked out, Bitch already got the drop on Vincent. Before he could even think about making a reach for his weapon on him, the smoke detector made that choice for the both of them. Amazing. That fits the situation band characters much more soundly. And why Mercelis only has the handgun on him when shooting at Bitch in public. Finally, 25 years later, yet another cool thing to discover about this MN masterpiece. The film is the gift that keeps on giving.

The least likely place for Butch to go after the fight was back to his apartment. But it couldn’t be entirely ruled out, so Marcellus took that assignment for himself, and also invited John Travolta’s character along so they could catch up (John Travolta’s character had just got back from four years in Amsterdam). John Travolta’s character had to take a shit, so Marcellus went to get pastries and coffee for them. He was so relaxed because there was basically no chance they’d see Butch, and he was looking forward to a nice relaxing morning of hanging out and talking. Unfortunately, Butch’s character was well named-“Butch” means strong and combative; it does not mean “smart.”

[@B-a-t-m-a-n]

[@isaackellogg3493]

@@B-a-t-m-a-n this only indicates that butch had never investigated the meaning of his own name, as it is a common word and its meaning would have immediately become obvious. Again, strong and combative, not smart. If he had been smart, he could have told the taxi driver his name’s meaning without having to look it up, even if other Americans’ names don’t have a meaning.

Not knowing what’s in the briefcase is such a fun storytelling device. Some theories say that it’s Marcellus’ soul (and the bandaid on the back of his head is when he got it extracted), but in the end, it doesn’t matter, all we know is that it’s super important.

[@dunhill1]

I read an interview a few years ago with Samuel Jackson, and he said that inside the briefcase was just an incandescent light bulb, some wire, and a battery pack. That's it. No gold, no soul, just that. Now we all know.

[@shoujahatsumetsu]

@@dunhill1 Well, the mess in the back of the car wasn't really brains and blood either you know. And they didn't actually do anything dirty to Marcellus in that backroom, they were just pretending for the audience.

[@laudanum669]

Another theory is that it was an Oscar award that Quentin hoped to win for the movie.

[@Moroklumpen]

Apparently, it was supposed to be diamonds, but Reservoir Dogs had been about a diamond heist so he wanted something else and then realized that it was just a MacGuffin anyway; the only important thing was the role it played in the story so he decided to keep it mysterious.

[@dunhill1]

22:33 Goes back to the old saying "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy". He knew he had a chance to leave, and you even see the Tennessee license plate on the wall behind him at the door, but he chose the honorable path, which is also why he ultimately chose the katana sword, the weapon wielded by the Samurai who lived by a code of honor. Though Butch was far from a Samurai, he was more akin to a thief, which goes back to another saying "Honor among thieves". As perverse as this scene is, it's also very deep and philosophical, as is the rest of the film.

John Travolta's breaking role was in "Saturday Night Fever" wich is a movie about Disco, made at the point of the disco era. Beegees super hit "Stayin' alive" is from that movie. Travolta plays this young working class guy who lives for the weekend, when he is king of the dance floor. It is as silly as it sounds, and it made him forever associated with that cheesy role... Until Tarantino made him a star again, fifteen years later, with "Pulp Fiction". It is almost as an ironic joke that he's in this movie, but Tarantino has this thing where he's trolling his audience with actors that are supposedly "out of date", only to throw it back at us with their best performance ever. This was sort of his schtick in his early films, now the stars are lining up to be in his films, but he can still squeese a performance of a lifetime out of someone like DiCaprio, wich is nothing short of amazing. The guy has an eye for talent.

Vincent shoots Marvin in the face, he disrespects Wolf who is trying to save him and Jules from deep trouble, almost gets the boss's wife OD'd and finally gets killed because he left the gun for Butch to use.

I normally don't like TV edits, but this movie has a brilliant tie-up for one particularly graphic scene. SPOILER ALERT When Marvin gets shot, the TV version cuts to black and is silent for a moment, then the dialogue begins again with the screen black until the commercial break.

"Saturday Night Fever", 1976 - that's the big dancing movie he did (though because of that, more came later). This was Travolta's big comeback, and Quentin wanted to see him dance. Not sure how John felt about it - being the "disco king" was probably hard - but it all worked out in the end. One thing about his character - heroin gives you constipation, which explains why he's always in the bathroom.

[@Chimponaut]

That's not quite right tho, Tarantino himself stated that the dance scene was in the script long before he had decided on Travolta. (On Charlie Rose)

[@classiclife7204]

@@Chimponaut Who said that the dance scene wasn't in the script before Travolta was cast?

Hey! Love your reaction. In case you don’t know it or someone didn’t tell you, the pawn shop scene was inspired by a disturbing thriller in the 70s called “Deliverance”, about a group of friends who are victims of a group of hillbillies in the woods. One scene is hard to watch but I don’t want to tell you what it is.

Travolta has a dancer background, and his breakthrough role was in Saturday Night Fever, which also featured major scenes of him showing his skills as a dancer. He choreocraphed his own dance sequence in this film.

[@midwaygamer-ou3my]

the case is what what they call a MacGuffin in the movie business. it's basically an object or a place or a thing or a person that we never get to actually see. but the only purpose that it truly serves is to bring the story along. the identity of the object or thing or person is not important. it can also be whatever you want it to be. there have been a lot of theories and Tarantino has said it's all of the things that you say it is.

[@NoelMcGinnis]

I believe the rumor on the grapevine is that the ‘gold’ color from the briefcase is from Marcellus Wallace’s soul. He apparently sold his soul. Hence the bandaid on the back of his neck. That’s where is was removed. The movie doesn’t discuss it, but that’s the rumor. His soul is in the briefcase.

[@Buttsley1]

I like this theory but the final scene in the diner when Tim Roth says “is that what I think it is?” Kind of shoots it down. Makes me think that it’s most likely just gold

[@woodedlane]

I have read that it's Marceles' soul in the briefcase. Did you notice the band aid on the back of Marceles' neck - that's apparently where it escaped from. No one ever says why that happened.

[@justmeeagainn]

Fan theory. No proof for it. The bandaid was from a shaving cut.

[@oaf-77]

I always thought it was whatever people imagined. Like everyone saw something different. It reminded me of ‘the stuff that dreams are made of’ from Maltese Falcon.

[@woodedlane]

@@oaf-77 You are right. I looked something up yesterday. Said they originally was going to say it was gold, but ended up leaving it up to us the viewer as to what we wanted it to be. Makes me curious about that band aid. lol
