Pulp Fiction

BUTCH

Floyd retired too.

FABIENNE

(smiling)

Really?! He won't be fighting no more?!

BUTCH

Not no more.

FABIENNE

So it all worked out in the finish?

BUTCH

We ain't at the finish, baby.

Fabienne rolls over and Butch gets on top of her. They kiss.

FABIENNE

We're in a lot of danger, aren't we?

Butch nods his head: " Yes."

FABIENNE

If they find us, they'll kill us, won't they?

Butch nods his head: " Yes."

FABIENNE

But they won't find us, will they?

Butch nods his head: "No."

FABIENNE

Do you still want me to go with you?

Butch nods his head: " Yes."

FABIENNE

I don't want to be a burden or a nuisance –

Butch's hand goes out of frame and starts massaging her crotch.

Fabienne reacts.

FABIENNE

Say it!

BUTCH

Fabienne, I want you to be with me.

FABIENNE

Forever?

BUTCH

... and ever.

Fabienne lies her head back.

Butch continues to massage her crotch.

FABIENNE

Do you love me?

BUTCH

Oui.

FABIENNE

Butch? Will you give me oral pleasure?

Butch kisses her on the mouth.

BUTCH

Will you kiss it?

She nods her head: " Yes."

FABIENNE

But you first.

Butch's head goes down out of frame to carry out the oral pleasure. Fabienne's face is alone in the frame.

FABIENNE

(in French, with English subtitles)

Butch my love, the adventure begins.

FADE TO BLACK

FADE UP:

MOTEL ROOM

Same motel room, except empty. WE HEAR THE SHOWER RUNNING in the bathroom. The CAMERA MOVES to the bathroom doorway. We see Fabienne in a white terry cloth robe that seems to swallow her up. She's drying her head with a towel. Butch is inside the shower washing up. We see the outline of his naked body through the smoky glass of the shower door. Steam fills the bathroom. Butch turns the shower off and opens the door, popping his head out.

BUTCH

I think I cracked a rib.

FABIENNE

Giving me oral pleasure?

BUTCH

No retard, from the fight.

FABIENNE

Don't call me retard.

BUTCH

(in a Mongoloid voice)

My name is Fabby! My name is Fabby!

FABIENNE

Shut up fuck head! I hate that Mongoloid voice.

BUTCH

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, I take it back! Can I have a towel please, Miss Beautiful Tulip.

FABIENNE

Oh I like that, I like being called a tulip. Tulip is much better than Mongoloid.

She finishes drying her hair and wraps the towel like a turban on her head.

BUTCH

I didn't call you a Mongoloid, I called you a retard, but I took it back.

She hands him a towel.

BUTCH

Merci beaucoup.

FABIENNE

Butch?

BUTCH

(drying his head)

Yes, lemon pie.

FABIENNE

Where are we going to go?

BUTCH

I'm not sure yet. Wherever you want. We're gonna get a lot of money from this. But it ain't gonna be so much, we can live like hogs in the fat house forever. I was thinking we could go somewhere in the South Pacific. The kinda money we'll have'll carry us a long way down there.

FABIENNE

So if we wanted, we could live in Bora Bora?

BUTCH

You betcha. And if after awhile you don't dig Bora Bora, then we can move over to Tahiti or Mexico.

FABIENNE

But I do not speak Spanish.

BUTCH

You don't speak Bora Boran either. Besides, Mexican is easy: Donde esta el zapataria?

FABIENNE

What does that mean?

BUTCH

Where's the shoe store?

FABIENNE

Donde esta el zapataria?

BUTCH

Excellent pronunciation. You'll be my little mama ceta in no time.

Butch exits the bathroom. We stay on Fabienne as she brushes her teeth.

Butch keeps on from the other room.

BUTCH (O.S.)

Que hora es?

FABIENNE

Que hora es?

BUTCH (O.S.)

What time is it?

FABIENNE

What time is it?

BUTCH (O.S.)

Time for bed. Sweet dream, jellybean.

Fabienne brushes her teeth. We watch her for a moment or two, then she remember something.

FABIENNE

Butch.

She walks out of the bathroom to ask Butch a question, only to find him sound asleep in bed.

She looks at him for a moment.

FABIENNE

Forget it.

She exits frame, going back in the bathroom. WE STAY on the WIDE SHOT of the unconscious Butch in bed.

FADE TO BLACK

FADE UP:

MOTEL ROOM – MORNING

SAME SHOT AS BEFORE, the next morning. We find Butch still asleep in bed.

Fabienne brushes her teeth half in and half out of the bathroom so she can watch TV at the same time. She still wears the terry cloth robe from the night before.

ON TV: WILLIAM SMITH and a BUNCH OF HELL'S ANGELS are taking on the entire Vietnamese army in the film "The Losers".

Butch wakes from his sleep, as if a scary monster was chasing him. His start startles Fabienne.

FABIENNE

Merde! You startled me. Did you have a bad dream?

Butch squints down the front of the bed at her, trying to focus.

Butch, still trying to chase the cobwebs away, sees on TV Hell's Angels tear-assin' through a Vietnamese prison camp.

BUTCH

What are you watching?

FABIENNE

A motorcycle movie, I'm not sure the name.

BUTCH

Are you watchin' it?

Fabienne enters the room.

FABIENNE

In a way. Why? Would you like for me to switch it off?

BUTCH

Would you please?

She reaches over and turns off the TV.

BUTCH

It's a little too early in the morning for explosions and war.

FABIENNE

What was it about?

BUTCH

How should I know, you were the one watchin' it.

Fabienne laughs.

FABIENNE

No, imbecile, what was your dream about?

BUTCH

Oh, I... don't remember. It's really rare I remember a dream.

FABIENNE

You just woke up from it.

BUTCH

Fabienne, I'm not lying to you, I don't remember.

FABIENNE

Well, let's look at the grumpy man in the morning. I didn't say you were lying, it's just odd you don't remember your dreams. I always remember mine. Did you know you talk in your sleep?

BUTCH

I don't talk in my sleep, do I talk in my sleep?

FABIENNE

You did last night.

BUTCH

What did I say?

Laying on top of him.

FABIENNE

I don't know. I couldn't understand you.

She kisses Butch.

FABIENNE

Why don't you get up and we'll get some breakfast at that breakfast place with the pancakes.

BUTCH

One more kiss and I'll get up.

Fabienne gives Butch a sweet long kiss.

FABIENNE

Satisfied?

BUTCH

Yep.

FABIENNE

Then get up, lazy bones.

Butch climbs out of bed and starts pulling clothes out of the suitcase that Fabienne brought.

BUTCH

What time is it?

FABIENNE

Almost nine in the morning. What time does our train arrive?

BUTCH

Eleven.

FABIENNE

I'm gonna order a big plate of blueberry pancakes with maple syrup, eggs over easy, and five sausages.

BUTCH

(surprised at her potential appetite)

Anything to drink with that?

Butch is finished dressing.

FABIENNE

(referring to his clothes)

Oh yes, that looks nice. To drink, a tall glass or orange juice and a black cup of coffee. After that, I'm going to have a slice of pie.
