I know you didn’t say that you didn’t think it was written by him. Obviously it was. But there is more to it than his words. Look at the situations in Kill Bill… a lot more emotional, a lot more fragile. Plus, the characters… I mean Jules and The Wolf are just 2 cool guys that are just smart asses as well… while Bill, still being cool, isn’t a smart ass, he’s just cool. Just look at how each character has his or her own personality, the way they talk, the words they use. No, there isn’t a Wolf or a Jules/Ordell (as Jules and Ordell are the same character… cos Samuel L. likes to be that character as much as humanly possible… fucking Shaft) But these are just different characters. Still great dialogue. It’s just not as realistic… at least it’s not like it’s set in our time, in our place. So dialogue is lessly based on real things, on fads, on our society. This is a whole different world. And how can you say that Esteban is not quotable? “If we would have met when I was back in business, you would have been MY number one lady” “tsk The Pussy Died… yah?” “I would have been much nicer; I would have just cut your face” “I must warn you, I am acceptable to flattery” dude, that guy’s great. The Sheriff too…“This tall drink o’ cock sucker ain’t dead” “If you was a moron you could almost admire it” I personally think those guys are more quotable that Pai Mei. What does Pai Mei say? “You bray like an ass” “Stand and let me see your ridiculous face” and “I told you to show me what you knew and you did… not a goddamn thing!” I like him, he is quotable, but Esteban and Earl McGraw rule. Hattori Hanzo, another quotable guy… however, I do admit he’s more quotable for how he says it. Except I do like “Funny… you like Samurai Swords. I Like Baseball.” The dialogue is a perfect love-child of Tarantino and classic, epic, Kung-fu dialogues.
