7 quotes
O-Ren Ishii As your leader, I encourage you, from time to time and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so! But allow me to convince you. And I promise you, right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo … except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is – I collect your **** head. [Holds up Tanaka's head] Just like this ****er here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the **** time! [Pause] I didn't think so.
O-Ren Ishii Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with samurai swords.
O-Ren Ishii Tear the bitch apart!
O-Ren Ishii You might not be able to fight like a samurai, but you can at least die like a samurai.
O-Ren Ishii Silly rabbit, trix are for kids.
O-Ren Ishii You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did you?
O-Ren Ishii [in Japanese]
Swords, however, never get tired. I hope you saved your energy. If you haven't... You may not last five minutes. But as last looks go, you could do worse.

Your instrument is quite impressive. [in Japanese] Where was it made?
O-Ren [in Japanese]
Whom in Okinawa made you this steel?
[in English]
This is Hattori Hanzo steel.
O-Ren [in Japanese]
YOU LIE! [the Bride shakes her head and turns her sword, showing Hattori Hanzo's stamp] Mmm-hmm. Swords, however, never get tired. I hope you saved your energy. If you haven't... You might not last five minutes. But as last looks go, you could do worse.
