Strange Thoughts that Occur When Talking Fandom with Mom

[jetpack_monkey]

Mom and I were driving to pick up a prescription for me when we started in on the topic of Quentin Tarantino and why his films are just so darn clever. Both of us really like listening to the patter of Pulp Fiction's dialouge. Mom's opposed to the violence, but I pointed out that it's supposed to make you a little uneasy. In any case, we eventually came around to the character of Jules. Mom forgot exactly what happened with him, so I explained: he became a shepherd and walked the Earth.

And then the Fandom Thought struck me. What if Jules from Pulp Fiction was the inspiration for Book on "Firefly"?

Barker: You going on a trip, grandpa? Need safe passage? We're cheap. We're cheap. We're clean. (pointing) The BRUTUS, the best ship in the 'verse. What's your des, grandpa? We're hitting the outer rings.

Shepherd Jules: Mothafuckah, do you see a ring on my motherfuckin' finger?

Barker: What?

Shepherd Jules: Do you see a ring on my motherfuckin' finger?

Barker: Um, no.

Shepherd Jules: You know why that is, bitch? Cuz I ain't never been motherfuckin' married. I ain't nobody's grandpa.

Kaylee: I think Shepherd Jules has offered to help me prepare something.

Mal: (to Jules) You're a Shepherd?

Jules: Take a look at the outfit, bitch. Now, tell me this ain't gonna be a problem, mothafucka.

Kaylee: Of course not! (to Mal) It's no problem, 'cause it's not.

Jules: That dumb mothafucka Simon's got balls.

Mal: (sarcastic cute voice) Yeah. He's my hero.

Jules: That boy gave up everything down to the gold-plated tit-rings on his bitches to free his sister from the motherfuckin' Alliance. Goin' from being a doctor on the mothafuckin' Central Planets to hiding at the ass-end of the 'verse? Shit. Can't think of a mothafucka who'd do that.

Mal: Suppose not.

Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?

Jules: Mothafuckin' incontrovertible. (beat) It is somewhat fuzzier on
the subject of feet.

Mal: You'll have to tell me more about that some day.

Jules: Mothafucka, I don't got to tell you shit.
