Line 11:
** Also worth noting that that the Bride and Bill are the only two characters who choose to kill in single combat. The Bride (who describes herself as "better than Annie Oakley") has a chance to gun down each of her targets from a distance, but never uses a gun except with Bill, who knew she was coming. She attacks each of them in person and fights to the death. By contrast, each of them tries to kill her by any means available (hidden guns, bodyguards, ambush, while she's in a coma). Bill has at least one chance to shoot her, but instead fights her to the death. Interesting, because they are all explicitly ''assassins'', but the two of them have enough of the warrior ethos to want to kill in combat, at least when it's personal.
* Bride's dialogue during the Green sequence, especially in the kitchen, seems remarkably formal, especially compared to Green's rather foul-mouthed drawl. In fact, it sounds a lot like she's being dubbed from Japanese-oh. ''Ohhh''. --[[Jonn]]
* (Partly cribbed from the movie's page) O-Ren's little speech to the Yakuza seems a little odd at first. She's in a room with almost-exclusively Japanese speaking people, yet she starts by saying, "This is important, so I'm going to say it in English." There's two bits of [[Fridge Brilliance]] here: First, she's saying it in English not so they understand it, but to show ''dominance'' over them. Second, she's not just talking to the Yakuza bosses. She's talking to ''[[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall|us]]''. This is her [[Establishing Character Moment]]. She wants to make sure we're listening and watching ''her'' instead of the subtitles. - [[User:Mr Death]]
** Not just that. For most people, English is the official business language. She was basically telling them this was [[Serious Business]].
* At the chapel, the Bride and her fiance, when asked, say they don't have a favorite song. It wasn't until the third time I watched ''Kill Bill vol. 2'' that it occurred to me how odd it was that a ''record store owner and his fiance (who also works at the store)'' don't have a favorite song. Then I realized that ties in to Bill's Clark Kent/Superman speech in the end--the Bride could pretend to be a record store employee, but in her heart she'd still be an assassin. - [[User:Devils Advocate]]
