Straight Quotes

• "Do you find me sadistic? You know, I'll bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to. No, Kiddo, I'd like to believe you're aware enough that, even now, to know there's nothing sadistic in my actions... Maybe towards those other jokers, but not you. No, Kiddo, this moment, this is me at my most... masochistic."
  • Bill; played by David Carradine

• "As I said before, I've allowed you to keep your wicked life for two reasons. And the second reason is so you can tell [Bill] in person everything that happened here tonight. I want him to witness the extent of my mercy by witnessing your deformed body. I want you to tell him all the information you just told me. I want him to know what I know. I want him to know I want him to know. And I want them all to know they'll all soon be as dead as O-Ren."

  • The Bride; played by Uma Thurman

• "Just because I have no wish to murder you before the eyes of your daughter does not mean parading her around in front of me is going to inspire sympathy. You and I have unfinished business.

• "For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat, the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion.

  • Hattori Hanzo; played by Sonny Chiba

• "I'm done doing what I swore an oath to God twenty-eight years ago to never do again. I've created "something that kills people." 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." (Requires Japanese translation.)
  • Hattori Hanzo; played by Sonny Chiba

• "As your leader, I encourage you, from time to time and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you. And I promise you, right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo, except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is: I collect your fucking head. Just like this fucker here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the fucking time! ... I didn't think so."
