#13. Divine Intervention
JULES: You read the Bible, Brett?
BRETT: Yes!
JULES: Well,there's this passage I got memorized, sorta fits the occasion: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men..."
JULES: "...blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherded the weak through the valley of darkness. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
MARVIN: Oh. fuck! Fuck! I'm fucked!
VINCENT: Is he a friend of yours?
JULES: Yeah, Marvin-Vincent-Vincent-Marvin.
VINCENT: Better tell him to shut up. He's getting my nerves.
MARVIN: Fuck.
JULES: Marvin! Marvin! I'd knock that shit off if I was you.
FOURTH MAN: Die, you motherfuckers! Die!
VINCENT: Why the fuck didn't you tell us about that guy in the bathroom? Slip your mind? Did you forget he was in there with a goddamn hand cannon?
JULES: You see that gun he fired at us? It was bigger than him. We shoulld be fuckin' dead, man.
VINCENT: Yeah, we was lucky.
JULES: No. No, that shit wasn't luck.
VINCENT: Yeah, maybe.
JULES: This was divine intervention. You know what divine intervention is?
VINCENT: Yeah, I think so. That means that God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.
JULES: Yeah, man, that's it. That's exactly what it means! God came down from Heaven and stopped these motherfuckin' bullets.
VINCENT: I think it's time for us to leave, Jules.
JULES: Don't do that! Don't fuckin' blow this shit off! What just happened was a fuckin' miracle!
VINCENT: Chill, this shit happens.
JULES: Wrong, wrong, this shit doesn't just happen.
VINCENT: Do you wanna continue this theological discussion in the car, or at the jailhouse with the cops?
JULES: We should be fuckin' dead, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to fuckin' acknowledge it!
VINCENT: All right, it was a miracle, can we go now?
JULES: Let's go, nigger! Come on! Shit.
VINCENT: ...Ever seen that show "COPS?" I was watchin' it once and this cop was on it who was talkin' about this time he got into this gun fight with a guy in a hallway. He unloads on this guy and he doesn't hit nothing. Okay? It was just him and this guy. I mean, you, know, it's freaky, but it happens.
JULES: If you wanna play blind man, go walk with the shepherd. But me, my eyes are wide fuckin' open.
VINCENT: What the fuck does that mean?
JULES: That's it for me. For here on in, you can consider my ass retired.
VINCENT: Jesus Christ!
JULES: Don't blaspheme!
VINCENT: Goddammit, Jules...
JULES: I said don't do that...
VINCENT: You're fuckin' freakin' out on us!
JULES: I'm tellin' Marsellus today I'm through.
VINCENT: Why don't to tell him at the same time why?
JULES: Don't worry, I will.
VINCENT: I'll bet ya ten thousand dollars, he laughs his ass off.
JULES: I don't give a damn if he does.
VINCENT: Marvin, what do you make all of this?
MARVIN: I don't even have an opinion.
VINCENT: You gotta have an opinion. You think God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets?
JULES: What the fuck's happening?
VINCENT: Oh, man, I shot Marvin in the face.
JULES: Why the fuck did you do that?
VINCENT: I didn't mean it. It was an accident.
JULES: Man, I've seen a lot of crazy-ass shit in my time, but this...
VINCENT: Chill out, man, I told you it was an accident, okay? We probably went over a bump or something.
JULES: The car didn't hit no motherfucking bump!
VINCENT: Look! I didn't mean to shoot this son of a bitch, the gun just went off, I don't know why!
JULES: Look at this fucking mess! We're on a city street in broad daylight here –
VINCENT: – I don't believe it!
JULES: Well, believe it now. motherfucker! We gotta get this car off the road. Cops tend to notice shit like a car drenched in fuckin' blood.
VINCENT: Just take it to a friendly place, that's all!
JULES: This is the Valley, Vincent. Marsellus ain't got no friendly places in the Valley.
VINCENT: Well, Jules, this ain;t my fuckin' town, man!
JULES: Shit!
VINCENT: What you doing?
JULES: I'm calling my partner in Toluca Lake.
VINCENT: Where's Toluca Lake.
JULES: Over the hill, by Burbank Studios. If Jimmie's ass ain't home, I don't know what the fuck we're gonna do, 'cause I ain't got any other partners in 818. Jimmie! How you doin' man, it's Jules. Just listen up man, me an' my homeboy are in a car, and we going to get it off the road, pronto! I need to use your garage for a couple hours.
JULES: We gotta be real fuckin' delicate with this Jimmie's situation. He's one remark away from kickin' our asses out the door.
VINCENT: If he kicks us out, what do we do?
JULES: Well, we ain't leavin' 'til we made a couple phone calls. But I never want it to reach that pitch. Jimmie's a friend and you don't come into your friend's house and start tellin' 'im what's what.
VINCENT: Just tell 'im not to be abusive. He kinda freaked out back there when he saw Marvin.
JULES: Put yourself in his position. It's eight o'clock in the morning. He just woke up, he wasn't prepared for this shit. We gotta remember who's doing who a favor.
VINCENT: If that favor means I gotta take shit, he can stick that favor straight up his ass.
JULES: Fuck, nigger, what the fuck did you just do to his towel, man?
VINCENT: I was dryin' my hands.
JULES: You're supposed to wash 'em first.
VINCENT: You watched me wash 'em.
JULES: I watched you get 'em wet.
VINCENT: I was washin' 'em. This shit's hard to get off. Maybe if he had Lava, I coulda done a better job.
JULES: I used the same fuckin' soap you did and when I dried my hands, the towel didn't look like no goddamn Maxi- pad. Look, fuck it, alright. What if he was to come in here and see that towel like this, Vincent? It's shit like this that's gonna bring this situation to a head, man! Look, I ain't threatenin' you or nothin', all right? I respect you and all. But just don't put me in that position, all right?
VINCENT: All right. Fine. Fine. Ask me nice like that, no problem. Just go handle your friend. Go ahead. I don't care.
