| 0:00.0 | Continuing, although Samuel L. Jackson, portraying the film's heartless black killer Jules, |
| 0:05.1 | delivered that speech with memorable aplomb, it was both sacrilegious and inauthentically racial. |
| 0:10.6 | He was posing as a profane preacher and Jules omits the Amen conclusion. |
| 0:14.5 | Yet hipster moviegoers embraced it, mistaking it for an actual biblical quote, which Hegsef did not, |
| 0:19.4 | because they believed in its vengeful |
| 0:21.4 | ethos, the violent sadism that became Tarantino's trademark. |
| 0:25.1 | Okay, I'm very interested following the train of logic here, because Armid White has not |
