Blockhead, you seemed to have gotten Mr. White and Mr. Pink confused. Come on, give some credit to Buscemi.
… when I was searching for the script. But all of the places I found the script listed the speaker as Mr. White, Harvey Keitel. Perhaps, as is the case in a lot of scripts, especially Pulp Fiction, the movie changed what was once written. Or perhaps the web sites I visited just had the wrong script. Either way, you understood what the point of the post was.
Peace!

and many other sites… one thing I noticed is that the other lines are the ones spoken by Harvey Keitel in the movie (i.e. “If you shoot me in your dreams you’d better wake up and apologize.”
Heres another part of the whole tipping thing that tends to just grate me the wrong way. And anyone out there that serves will know exactly what i am talking about. You drop of the bill, they pay you, you bring them back their change which is for imagination sake $4.62. You look at that change and see it makes a nice healthy 15% or real close and you just pray the people leave it. You come back to the table to find $3.12. Now that just KILLS me!!! I mean come on how imprtant are those quarters anyway you bastards, and what are you going to do with that $1 anyways??? Pay your rent? Make a car payment??? Well if everyone didn’t do that all the time it would make it that much easier on servers to do just that.
Actually Quisling, I might be able to answer this, seeing as I’ve been on both sides of your issue.
I live in an apartment. About forty units in all in the middle of Uptown Minneapolis. I typically will take quarters back from the bar and usually will end up leaving a bill instead. Better for them, I think.
Why? I need quarters to do my laundry. Quarters are sacred around here. I have a stack of quarters in my bedroom that I guard with my life. Go down to the pop machine? Take dimes and nickles, I don’t care. Touch a quarter? I’m all over it.
I actually got in a fight with my last girlfriend over this. Me, 'Why do you take quarters down there for pop? You know I save them for laundy? Take the dimes instead. There’s a ton of ‘em.’. My SO, ‘Geeze, I didn’t think it mattered.’. Me, ‘Well it does, how can I dry my wash now.’
It’s my belief that people in apartments that have machines that cost over two dollars to do a load from start to finish, actually plan ahead and hoard as many quarters as the can for this single purpose.
I’ve run into a few customers who said exactly what I said. They say. ‘Ohh, Shit. Laundry tommorrow. Here’s a buck for taking two quarters out of the bunch’.
I smile and understand.
It’s an apartment thing.
