Pulp Fiction, Jules, the memories
Everybody who's watched Pulp Fiction remembers Ezekiel 25:17-that verse made famous by Jules ( Samuel L. Jackson)
He could do no wrong in that film! His role got him his only Oscar nomination to date. Watch how he messes with Ringo's( the restaurant robber) and the audience's brains and minds with his choice of pontificating words
'' “Normally, both your asses would be dead as f*cking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you.”

The last scene in the film is one of the best you'll ever see.

''...There's
this passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous
man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of
evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds
the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper
and the finder of lost children. 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 I am The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon
thee."
I been saying that shit for years. And if you heard it, that meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this morning made me think twice.
See, now I'm thinking, maybe it means you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man, and Mr. 9 millimeter here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is, you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.....''
