Kill Bill: Volume 22004

Bill:
[coming down the stairs after talking to Pai Mei] He'll accept you as his student.

The Bride:
What happened to you?

Bill:
[who has a bruise] Nothing.

The Bride:
Get in a fight?

Bill:
Friendly contest.

The Bride:
Why did he accept me?

Bill:
Because he's a very, very, very old man, and like all rotten bastards, when they become old, they get lonely. Which has no effect on their dispositions, but it does teach them the value of company.

[He throws her the baggage]

Bill:
Well, just seeing those steps again makes me ache. You're gonna have a lot of fun carrying buckets of water up and down that f***er.

The Bride:
When will I see you again?

Bill:
That's the name of my favorite soul song of the seventies.

The Bride:
What?

Bill:
Nothing. When he tells me you're done.

The Bride:
When do you think that might be?

Bill:
That, my dearest, depends entirely on you. Now, remember: no sarcasm, no backtalk. At least not for the first year or so. You're gonna have to let him warm up to you. He hates Caucasians, despises Americans, and has nothing but contempt for women, so in your case … it might take a little while. Adiós.
