Do they speak English in what? There are few evil characters more iconic than Jules Winnfield who featured in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 hit Pulp Fiction. His “say what again” scene with a low-level drug dealer and his Biblical soliloquy before murder made Samuel L. Jackson’s portrayal a standout part of the film. His partner, Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta, played the relatively quiet straight man to Winnfield’s over the top, dramatic enforcer persona. The character’s use of humor in totally inappropriate situations is always worth a rewatch of the film.
