Kill Bill/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The ending, of course with The Bride united with her daughter at last.
  • This exchange, after The Bride performs the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique on Bill:

Bill: Pai Mei taught you...the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique?
The Bride: (tearfully) 'Course he did.
Bill: Why didn't you tell me?
The Bride: I don't know...because I'm a bad person.
Bill: (tenderly) 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 cunt. (The Bride laughs and cries; he wipes blood from his mouth and sits up straighter) How do I look?

The Bride: You look ready. (Bill stands up, takes five steps, collapses and dies)

  • The inscription on Budd's sword: "To My Brother Budd, The Only Man I Ever Loved - Bill"
    • Budd has two moments in this film which show that, even though he acts tough and indifferent to his big brother Bill, he still loved him. The first example being the sword that Bill gave him as a present; we see that he kept it all along, he just lied to Bill to make him cringe over the thought of hawking a priceless Hattori Hanzo sword for a mere $250. The second example is shown when he's about to bury the Bride alive via Texas Funeral. He didn't smirk, he didn't make any smartass remark...he just looked at her solemnly and said...

"This is for breaking my brother's heart."

    • That just made this troper feel warm all over. Budd could have said anything he wanted, and he thought of his brother first. Awww, he really did love him.
  • "Oh, and for the record, letting someone think that someone they love is dead when they're not is quite cruel."
  • When O-Ren begs The Bride for forgiveness for having ridiculed her swordsmanship. Forgiveness The Bride generously grants, before they resume their duel to death.
