As you know, l'm quite keen on comic books. Especially the ones about superheroes. I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating. Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn. But the mythology... The mythology is not only great, it's unique.
The Bride:

How long does this shit take to go into effect?
Bill:
About two minutes, just long enough for me to finish my point. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race. Sorta like Beatrix Kiddo and Mrs. Tommy Plimpton.
The Bride:
Ah-so. The point emerges.
Bill:
You would've worn the costume of Arlene Plimpton. But you were born Beatrix Kiddo. And every morning when you woke up, you'd still be Beatrix Kiddo. Oh, you can take the needle out.
The Bride:
[does so]
Are you calling me a superhero?
Bill:
I'm calling you a killer. A natural born killer. You always have been, and you always will be. Moving to El Paso, working in a used record store, goin' to the movies with Tommy, clipping coupons. That's you, trying to disguise yourself as a worker bee. That's you tryin' to blend in with the hive. But you're not a worker bee. You're a renegade killer bee. And no matter how much beer you drank or barbecue you ate or how fat your ass got, nothing in the world would ever change that.

As you know,
I'm quite keen on comic books.
Especially the ones
about superheroes.
I find the whole mythology
surrounding superheroes
fascinating.
Take my favorite superhero,
Superman.
Not a great comic book.
Not particularly well drawn.
Mmm.
But the mythology...
The mythology is not only
great, it's unique.
How long does this shit take
to go into effect?
About two minutes.
Just long enough for me
to finish my point.
Now, a staple of
the superhero mythology is,
there's the superhero
and there's the alter ego.
Batman is actually Bruce Wayne,
Spider-Man is actually
Peter Parker.
When that character
wakes up in the morning,
he's Peter Parker.
He has to put on a costume
to become Spider-Man.
And it is in that characteristic
Superman stands alone.
Superman didn't become Superman.
Superman was born Superman.
When Superman wakes up
in the morning, he's Superman.
His alter ego is Clark Kent.
His outfit with the big red "S,"
that's the blanket
he was wrapped in as a baby
when the Kents found him.
Those are his clothes.
What Kent wears - the glasses,
the business suit -
that's the costume.
That's the costume Superman
wears to blend in with us.
Clark Kent is how Superman
views us.
And what are the characteristics
of Clark Kent?
He's weak,
he's unsure of himself,
he's a coward.
Clark Kent is
Superman's critique
on the whole human race.
Sorta like Beatrix Kiddo
and Mrs. Tommy Plympton.
Aso.
The point emerges.
You would've worn the costume
of Arlene Plympton.
But you were born Beatrix Kiddo.
And every morning
when you woke up,
you'd still be Beatrix Kiddo.
Oh, you can take
the needle out.
Are you calling me a superhero?
I'm calling you a killer.
A natural-born killer.
You always have been,
and you always will be.
Moving to El Paso,
working in
a used-record store,
goin' to the movies with Tommy,
clipping coupons.
That's you
trying to disguise yourself
as a worker bee.
That's you tryin'
to blend in with the hive.
But you're not a worker bee.
You're a renegade killer bee.
And no matter how much beer
you drank or barbecue you ate
or how fat your ass got,
nothing in the world
would ever change that.
First question:
did you really think your life
in El Paso was gonna work?
No!
But I would've had B.B.!
Don't get me wrong.
I think you would have been
a wonderful mother.
But you are a killer.
All those people you killed
to get to me
felt damn good, didn't they?
Yes.
Every single one of them?
Yes.
That was the warmup round.
Now comes the $64,000 question.
Why did you run away from me
with my baby?
Do you remember the last
assignment you sent me on?
Of course.
Lisa Wong.
The morning I left, I was sick.
On the plane, I threw up.
So I started thinking
maybe I was pregnant.
"Easy to use.
Remove cap and urinate
on the absorbent end
for five seconds."
"Accurate results
in only 90 seconds."
"You can read the results
as soon as the line appears
in the window."
Fuck.
What I didn't know
was that somewhere
on my journey
I had been spotted.
With me in L.A.,
it didn't take Lisa Wong long
to send an assassin of her own.
Hello,
can I help you?
Hello, I'm Karen Kim.
I'm the hospitality manager
of the hotel.
I have a welcome gift
from the management.
Oh, that's nice. Um...
Can you just leave it
by the door?
