Elle Driver That's right, I killed your master. And now I'm going to kill you, with your own sword, no less, which, in the very immediate future, will become my sword.

Most scenes with: Bill (3), The Bride/Beatrix Kiddo (3), Budd (2)
Let me put it this way. If you ever start feeling sentimental, go to Barstow, California. When you get here, walk into a florist and buy a bunch of flowers. Then you take those flowers to Huntington cemetery on Fuller and Guadalupe, look for the headstone marked Paula Schultz, then lay them on the grave. Because you will be standing at the final resting place of Beatrix Kiddo.

3 quotes Elle Driver Elle Driver [lighting up a cigarette after Budd has collapsed from a black mamba bite]
I'm sorry, Budd. That was rude of me, wasn't it? Budd, I'd like you to meet my friend, the black mamba. Black mamba, this is Budd. You know, before I picked that little fella up, I looked it up on the internet. Fascinating creature, the black mamba. Listen to this. [reads from a notepad] "In Africa, the saying goes, 'In the bush an elephant can kill you, a leopard can kill you, and a black mamba can kill you. But only with the mamba' — and this is true in Africa since the dawn of time — 'is death sure. Hence its handle: Death Incarnate.'" Pretty cool, huh? "Its neurotoxic venom is one of nature's most effective poisons, acting on the nervous system, causing paralysis. The venom of a black mamba can kill a human in four hours if, say, bitten on the ankle or the thumb. However, a bite to the face or torso can bring death from paralysis within 20 minutes." Now, you should listen to this, 'cause this concerns you. "The amount of venom that can be delivered from a single bite can be gargantuan." You know, I've always liked that word "gargantuan," and I so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence. "If not treated quickly with anti-venom, 10 to 15 milligrams can be fatal to human beings. However, the black mamba can deliver as much as 100 to 400 milligrams of venom from a single bite." [puts out her cigarette and addresses Budd] Now in these last agonizing minutes of life you have left, let me answer the question you asked earlier more thoroughly. Right at this moment, the biggest "R" I feel is Regret. Regret that maybe the greatest warrior I have ever known met her end at the hands of a bushwhackin', scrub, alky piece of shit like you. That woman deserved better.

How did you find me?
I'm the man.
Mommy is still angry at Daddy.
B.B. Why?
Well, sweety, I love Mommy, but I did to Mommy what you did to Emilio.
B.B. You stomped on Mommy?
Worse. I shot Mommy. Not pretend shoot, like we were just doing. I shot her for real.
B.B. Why? Did you want to see what would happen?
No, I knew what would happen to Mommy if I shot her. What I didn't know is, when I shot Mommy, what would happen to me.
B.B. What happened?
I was very sad. And that was when I learned, some things, once you do, they can never be undone.
Elle Driver Bill.
Wrong brother, you hateful bitch.
Elle Driver Budd.
Bingo!
Elle Driver And to what do I owe this dubious pleasure?
I just caught me a cowgirl that ain't never been caught.
Elle Driver Did you kill her?
Well, not yet I ain't. I shot her full of rock salt. She's so gentle right now, I could perform a coup de grâce with a rock. Anyhow, guess what I'm holding in my hand right now.
Elle Driver What?
Brand spankin' new Hattori Hanzo sword. Let me tell you, Elle, that's what I call sharp.
Elle Driver How much?
Well, that's hard to say, being that it's priceless and all.
Elle Driver What's the terms?
Get your bony ass down here early in the morning, with a million dollars in cash, and I give you the greatest sword ever made by man. How do you like the sound of that?
Elle Driver Sounds like we got a deal. One condition.
What?
Elle Driver She must suffer to her last breath.
Well, that, little darlin', I can pretty much damn well guarantee.
Elle Driver Then I'll see you in the morning … millionaire.
I was wondering, just between us girls, what did you say to Pai Mei for him to snatch out your eye?
Elle Driver I called him a miserable old fool.
Ooh, bad idea.
Elle Driver You know what I did? I killed that miserable old fool. I poisoned his fishheads. And I told him, "To me the word of an old fool like you is worth less than nothing." That's right, I killed your master. And now I'm going to kill you, with your own sword, no less, which, in the very immediate future, will become my sword.
Bitch. You don't have a future.
Pai Mei taught you the five-point-palm-exploding-heart technique?
Of course he did.
Why didn't you tell me?
I don't know … because I'm a bad person.
No. You're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. You're my favorite person. But every once in a while, you can be a real ****.
So, which "R" you filled with?
Elle Driver What?
They say the number one killer of old people is retirement. People got a job to do, they tend to live a little bit longer so they can do it. I've always figured that warriors and their enemies share the same relationship. So, now that you're not gonna have to face your enemy no more on the battlefield, which "R" you filled with? Relief … or regret?
Elle Driver A little bit of both.
Horseshit. I'm sure you do feel a little bit of both. But I know damn well that you feel one more than you feel the other. And the question was, which one is it?
Elle Driver [pause]
Regret.
