* [[Asian Store Owner]]: The opening conversation includes a lament about how this trope has made knocking over convenience stores nearly impossible; as Pumpkin explains, the small business owners are all either Jewish or Asian, and either way the business has been in the family for "fifteen fucking generations," so naturally they're going to be rather defensive when some jerk with a gun comes in. |

And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee," appear in the aforementioned passage) before executing someone, and as he explains to one character, he always thought it was some "cold blooded shit" that one said to "a motherfucker" before "I popped a cap in his ass." |

* [[The Atoner]]: While Butch claims not to care about killing his opponent, he mutters, "Sorry, Floyd," to the air when he hears the news. His compulsion to save Marsellus may be connected. |
