Budd Wrong brother, you hateful bitch.
Budd Bingo!
And to what do I owe this dubious pleasure?
Budd I just caught me a cowgirl that ain't never been caught.
Budd 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.
Budd Brand spankin' new Hattori Hanzo sword. Let me tell you, Elle, that's what I call sharp.
Budd Well, that's hard to say, being that it's priceless and all.
Budd 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?
Sounds like we got a deal. One condition.
Budd What?
She must suffer to her last breath.
Budd Well, that, little darlin', I can pretty much damn well guarantee.
Then I'll see you in the morning … millionaire.
Budd You're telling me she cut her way through eighty-eight bodyguards before she got to O-Ren?
Nah, there weren't really eighty-eight of them. They just called themselves "The Crazy 88".
Budd How come?
I don't know, I guess they thought it sounded cool. Anyhow, they all fell under her Hanzo sword.
Budd She's got a Hanzo sword?
Budd Didn't he swear a blood oath to never make another sword?
It would appear he has broken it.
Budd Them Japs sure know how to hold a grudge, don't they? [laughs] Or maybe … you just tend to bring that out in people. […]
I know this is a ridiculous question before I ask it, but you haven't by chance kept up with your sword play?
Budd [shakes his head]
I...umm... I pawned that years ago.
You hocked a Hattori Hanzo sword!
Budd Yeah.
Budd [chuckles]
Well not in El Paso, it ain't. In El Paso, I got me $250 for it. I'm a bouncer in a titty bar, Bill. If she wants to fight with me, all she has to do is come down to the club and start some shit and we'll be in a fight.
I know we haven't spoken in some time, and the last time we spoke wasn't the most pleasant. But you've got to get over being mad at me and start becoming afraid of Beatrix, because she is coming, and she's coming to kill you. And unless you accept my assistance, I have no doubt she will succeed.
Budd [stares hard at Bill]
I don't dodge guilt, and I don't jew out of paying my comeuppance.
Can't we just forget the past?
Budd That woman deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die. [considers] But then again, so does she. So I guess we'll just see … won't we?
Budd So, which "R" you filled with?
Budd 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?
Budd 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?
