Quentin Tarantino meets Shakespeare
Apr 19th, 2008 by lavonardo
In the long series of implausible “what if”-sentences:
what if Pulp Fiction had been written by William Shakespeare.
Kevin Pease gives us a teaser, from the very beginning of the film:
ACT I SCENE 2. A road, morning. Enter a carriage, with JULES and VINCENT, murderers.
J: And know’st thou what the French name cottage pie?
V: Say they not cottage pie, in their own tongue?
J: But nay, their tongues, for speech and taste alike
Are strange to ours, with their own history:
Gaul knoweth not a cottage from a house.
V: What say they then, pray?
J: Hachis Parmentier.
Righteous!
