DIALOGUE FROM: PULP FICTION
VINCENT
Thanks a bunch.
(to Jules, who's nursing
his coffee)
Want a sausage?
JULES
Naw, I don't eat pork.
VINCENT
Are you Jewish?
JULES
I ain't Jewish man, I just don't
dig on swine.
VINCENT
Why not?
JULES
They're filthy animals. I don't eat
filthy animals.
VINCENT
Sausages taste good. Pork chops
taste good.
JULES
A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin
pie. I'll never know 'cause even
if it did, I wouldn't eat the
filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and
root in shit. That's a filthy
animal. I don't wanna eat nothin'
that ain't got enough sense to
disregard its own feces.
126.
VINCENT
How about dogs? Dogs eat their own
feces.
JULES
I don't eat dog either.
VINCENT
Yes, but do you consider a dog to
be a filthy animal?
JULES
I wouldn't go so far as to call a
dog filthy, but they're definitely
dirty. But a dog's got personality.
And personality goes a long way.
VINCENT
So by that rationale, if a pig had
a better personality, he's cease to
be a filthy animal?
JULES
We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one
motherfuckin' charmin' pig. It'd
have to be the Cary Grant of pigs.
The two men laugh.
This particular scene comes towards the end of the film, during the final act. I feel that this particular piece of dialogue is so effective as it takes place just after all of the large events of the film have taken place and it is such a calm piece of conversation, like two men discussing things after a large storm has it. It also helps to further build characterisation of two of the central protaginists, even when we as audience members think we have learnt everything about them during the bulk of the film before this scene.
