What is McArthur Park? Why is it melting in the rain? And why won’t he have that reciepe again?
“I’m HIV-positive.”
“It’s Marcellus Wallace’s soul.”
What did Jack whisper to Nina in season 2 of 24?
I’ve never bought the soul theory, frankly. I mean, it’s fun to read the explanation, but I was always surprised anyone took it seriously. Kind of like believing Paul was dead and the Beatles put a bunch of clues on their albums – fun game, but people took it seriously? Okey-doke…
Another theory I’ve heard and like (though of course it’s just a theory) is that the briefcase contains the jewels stolen in Reservoir Dogs.

That would give her a good reason to cry all the time, at least.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Hermie and Rudolph want to know…
Who decides the test of what is really best?
Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s chowder?
And who put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy’s Ovaltine?
Briefly, yes. I’m not an expert, but there are several interpretations involving other characters in the play.
Mrs. Murphy. She had them in the wash that day and forgot to take them out.
I have never seen a reference to this song before. I thought I might be the only living human who knew it.
