Cenas de Cinema #20: Pulp Fiction - Pigs


 
 
 
INT. COFFEE SHOP - MORNING                                      91.

        Jules and Vincent sit at a booth.  In front of Vincent is a
        big stack of pancakes and sausages, which he eats with gusto.
        Jules, on the other hand, just has a cup of coffee and a
        muffin.  He seems far away in thought.  The Waitress pours a
        refill for both men,

                                  VINCENT
                       Thanks a bunch.
                            (to Jules, who's
                              nursing his coffee)
                       Want a sausage?

                                  JULES
                       Naw, I don't eat pork.

                                  VINCENT
                       Are you Jewish?

                                  JULES
                       I ain't Jewish man, I just don't
                       dig on swine.

                                  VINCENT
                       Why not?

                                  JULES
                       They're filthy animals.  I don't
                       eat filthy animals.

                                  VINCENT
                       Sausages taste good.  Pork chops
                       taste good.

                                  JULES
                       A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin
                       pie.  I'll never know 'cause even
                       if it did, I wouldn't eat the
                       filthy motherfucker.  Pigs sleep
                       and root in shit.  That's a filthy
                       animal.  I don't wanna eat nothin'
                       that ain't got enough sense to
                       disregard its own feces.

                                  VINCENT
                       How about dogs?  Dogs eat their own
                       feces.

                                  JULES
                       I don't eat dog either.

                                  VINCENT
                       Yes, but do you consider a dog to
                       be a filthy animal?

                                  JULES
                       I wouldn't go so far as to call a
                       dog filthy, but they're definitely
                       dirty.  But a dog's got
                       personality.  And personality goes
                       a long way.

                                  VINCENT
                       So by that rationale, if a pig had
                       a better personality, he's cease to
                       be a filthy animal?

                                  JULES
                       We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one
                       motherfuckin' charmin' pig.  It'd
                       have to be the Cary Grant of pigs.

        The two men laugh.
