Elle Driver Quotes:

  • Elle Driver: I might never have liked you. Point of fact, I despise you. But that doesn't suggest I don't respect you. Dying in our sleep is a luxury our kind is rarely afforded. My gift to you.

  • Elle Driver: Hello, Bill.

    Bill: What's her condition?

    Elle Driver: Comatose.

    Bill: Where is she?

    Elle Driver: I'm standing over her right now.

    Bill: That's my girl. Elle, you're gonna have to abort the mission.

    Elle Driver: WHAT?

    Bill: We owe her better than that.

    Elle Driver: NO YOU DON'T! YOU DON'T OWE HER SHIT!

    Bill: Will you keep your voice down?

    Elle Driver: [whispering] You don't owe her shit!

    Bill: May I say one thing?

    Elle Driver: Speak.

    Bill: Y'all beat the hell out of that woman, but you didn't kill her. And I put a bullet in her head, but her heart just kept on beatin'. Now, you saw that yourself with your own beautiful blue eye, did you not? We've done a lot of things to this lady. And if she ever wakes up, we'll do a whole lot more. But one thing we won't do is sneak into her room in the night like a filthy rat and kill her in her sleep. And the reason we won't do that thing is because... that thing would lower us. Don't you agree, Miss Driver?

    Elle Driver: I guess.

    Bill: Do you really have to guess?

    Elle Driver: [sighs] No. I don't really have to guess. I know.

    Bill: Come on home, honey.

    Elle Driver: Affirmative.

    Bill: I love you very much.

    Elle Driver: I love you, too. Bye-bye.

  • [after Bill tells her not to kill The Bride]

    Elle Driver: Thought that was pretty fuckin' funny, didn't you? Word of advice, shithead - don't you ever wake up.

  • Elle Driver: That's right. I killed your master. And now I'm gonna kill you too, with your own sword, no less, which in the very immediate future, will become... my sword.

    The Bride: Bitch, you don't have a future.

  • Elle Driver: [reading] "The venom of a black mamba can kill a human in four hours if, say, bitten on the ankle or the thumb. However, a bite to the face or torso can bring death from paralysis within 20 minutes." Now, you should listen to this, 'cause this concerns you. "The amount of venom that can be delivered from a single bite can be gargantuan." You know, I've always liked that word... 'gargantuan'... so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence. "If not treated quickly with antivenom, 10 to 15 milligrams can be fatal to human beings. However, the black mamba can deliver as much as 100 to 400 milligrams of venom from a single bite."

  • The Bride: I was wondering, just between us girls, what did you say to Pai Mei for him to snatch out your eye?

    Elle Driver: [flashback showing Pai Mei snatching out Elle's eye] I called him a miserable old fool.

    The Bride: Ooh, bad idea.

    Elle Driver: You know what I did? I killed that miserable old fool.

    [the Bride gasps as they show a flashback of Pai Mei gagging from the poison Elle put in his food]

    Elle Driver: [flashback] How do you like the fishheads you miserable old fool?

    [Present]

    Elle Driver: I poisoned his fishheads.

    Pai Mei: Elle, you treacherous dog. I give you my word...

    Elle Driver: And I told him, "To me the word of an old fool like you is worth less than nothing."

    [Pai Mei keels over and dies, as Elle starts laughing]

  • Elle Driver: [to Budd, as he is dying] Now in these last agonizing minutes of life you have left, let me answer the question you asked earlier more thoroughly. Right at this moment, the biggest "R" I feel is Regret. Regret that maybe the greatest warrior I have ever known, met her end at the hands of a bushwhackin, scrub, alky piece of shit like you. That woman deserved better.

  • Elle Driver: [into a phone] Bill?

    Budd: [into a phone] Wrong brother, you hateful bitch.

    Elle Driver: Budd?

    Budd: Bingo!

    Elle Driver: And to what do I owe this dubious pleasure?

    Budd: I just caught me a cowgirl that ain't never been caught.

    Elle Driver: Did you kill her?

    Budd: Well, not yet I ain't. I shot her full of rock salt. She's so gentle right now, I could perform her coup-de-grace with a rock. Anyhoo, guess what I'm holding in my hand right now.

    Elle Driver: What?

    Budd: A brand spankin' new Hattori Hanzo sword. And I'm here to tell you, Elle... that's what I call sharp.

    Elle Driver: How much?

    Budd: Well, that's hard to say, being that it's priceless and all.

    Elle Driver: What's the terms?

    Budd: Get your bony ass down here in the morning, with a million dollars in folding cash, and I'll give you the greatest sword ever made by man. How do you like the sound of that?

    Elle Driver: Sounds like we got a deal. One condition.

    Budd: What?

    Elle Driver: She must suffer to her last breath.

    Budd: Well, that little darlin', I can pretty much damn well guarantee.

    Elle Driver: Then I'll see you in the morning... millionaire.

  • Elle Driver: [reading] "In Africa, the saying goes 'In the bush, an elephant can kill you, a leopard can kill you, and a black mamba can kill you. But only with the mamba is death sure.' Hence its handle, 'Death Incarnate.'" Pretty cool, huh?

  • [after getting covered with tobacco juice during her fight with the Bride]

    Elle Driver: Gross.

  • [Elle and The Bride each have a sword in hand]

    Elle Driver: What's that?

    The Bride: Budd's Hanzo sword.

    Elle Driver: He said he pawned it.

    The Bride: Guess that makes him a liar, don't it?

  • Elle Driver: Bill tells me you had a Hanzo sword once.

    Budd: Yeah.

    Elle Driver: [examining the Bride's sword] How does this one compare to that one?

    Budd: If you're gonna compare a Hanzo sword, you compare it to every other sword ever made... that wasn't made by Hattori Hanzo.

  • Elle Driver: She put a Black Mamba in his camper.

    [pause]

    Elle Driver: I got her, sweety.

    [pause]

    Elle Driver: She's dead.

    [pause]

    Elle Driver: Let me put it this way. If you ever start feeling sentimental, go to Barstow, California. When you get here, walk into a florist and buy a bunch of flowers. Then you take those flowers to Huntington cemetery on Fuller and Guadalupe, look for the headstone marked Paula Schultz, then lay them on the grave. Because you will be standing at the final resting place of BEATRIX KIDDO.

  • Elle Driver: Okay, I'm leaving now, go smoke some pot or something. I'll be there soon.

  • Elle Driver: Hmm, I'm sorry, Budd. That was rude of me, wasn't it? Budd, I'd like to introduce my friend, the black mamba. Black mamba, this is Budd.

  • Budd: So, which "R" you filled with?

    Elle Driver: What?

    Budd: They say the number one killer of old people is retirement. People got 'em a job to do, they tend to live a little longer so they can do it. I've always figured warriors and their enemies share the same relationship. So, now you ain't gonna hafta face your enemy on the battlefield no more, which "R" are you filled with: Relief or Regret?

    Elle Driver: A little bit of both.

    Budd: Bullshit. I'm sure you do feel a little bit of both. But I know damn well you feel one more than you feel the other. The question was, which one?

    Elle Driver: Regret.
