MORE THAN SOMEWHATBreach of Promise. One day a certain party by the name of Judge Goldfobber, who is a lawyer by. Broadway, and while ordinarily I do not care for any part of lawyers, it. Judge Goldfobber is a friend of mine, so I go to see him. Of course Judge Goldfobber is not a judge, and never is a judge, and he is. I in my line against ever being a judge, but he is called Judge because. Judge Goldfobber, as he. He is a wonderful hand for keeping. Houdini when it comes. Personally, I never have any use for the professional services of Judge. Goldfobber, as I am a law- abiding citizen at all times, and am greatly opposed. I know the Judge from around and about for. I know him from around and about the night clubs, and other. Judge Goldfobber is such a guy as loves to mingle with the. Well, when I call on Judge Goldfobber, he takes me into his private office. I can think of a couple of deserving guys who are out of. Judge Goldfobber says. Of course,' Judge Goldfobber says, 'it is not steady employment, and in. This is out- of- town work that. Well, I am about to tell Judge Goldfobber that I am no employment agent, and. I can tell from the way he says the parties. I do not care to steer any friends of mine. But as I get up to go, I look out of Judge Goldfobber's window, and I can. Brooklyn in the distande beyond the river, and seeing Brooklyn I get to. I figure must be suffering terribly. I get to thinking of Harry the Horse, and. Spanish John and Little Isadore, and the reason I figure they must be suffering. Harry the Horse and Spanish John and Little Isadore are just naturally bound to. Anyway, I finally mention the names of these parties to Judge Goldfobber. I speak well of their reliability in a pinch, and of their. I cannot conscientiously recommend their tact, and Judge. Goldfobber is greatly delighted, as he often hears of Harry the Horse, and. Spanish John and Little Isadore. He asks me for their addresses, but of course nobody knows exactly where. Harry the Horse and Spanish John and Little Isadore live, because they do not. However, I tell him about a certain spot in. Clinton Street where he may be able to get track of them, and then I leave. Judge Goldfobber for fear he may wish me to take word to these parties, and if. I will not care to take word to, or to. Harry the Horse, and. Spanish John and Little Isadore. Well, I do not hear anything more of the matter for several weeks, but one. I am in Mindy's restaurant on Broadway enjoying a little cold. Harry the Horse, and Spanish John and Little. Isadore, and I am so surprised to see them that some of my cold borscht goes. I almost choke to death. However, they seem quite friendly, and in fact Harry the Horse pounds me on. I consider it a most courteous action, and when I am able to. I say to him as follows: 'Well, Harry,' I say, 'it is a privilege and a pleasure to see you again. I hope and trust you will all join me in some cold borscht, which you will. No,' Harry says, 'we do not care for any cold borscht. We are looking for. Judge Goldfobber. Do you see Judge Goldfobber round and about lately?'Well, the idea of Harry the Horse and Spanish John and Little Isadore. Judge Goldfobber sounds somewhat alarming to me, and I figure maybe. Judge Goldfobber gives them turns out bad and they wish to take Judge. Goldfobber apart, but the next minute Harry says to me like this: 'By the way,' he says, 'we wish to thank you for the job of work you throw. Maybe some day we will be able to do as much for you. It is a most. interesting job,' Harry says, 'and while you are snuffing your cold borscht I. Judge. Goldfobber.'It turns out [Harry the Horse says] that the job is not for Judge Goldfobber. Mr. Jabez. Tuesday, the rich millionaire, who owns the Tuesday string of one- arm joints. Judge Goldfobber comes. Brooklyn in person, and sends me to see Mr. Jabez Tuesday with a. Mr. Jabez Tuesday can explain what he wishes me to. Judge Goldfobber is too smart a guy to be explaining such matters. In fact, for all I know maybe Judge Goldfobber is not aware of what Mr. Jabez Tuesday wishes me to do, although I am willing to lay a little 6 to 5. Judge Goldfobber does not think Mr. Jabez Tuesday wishes to hire me as a. Anyway, I go to see Mr. Tuesday at a Fifth Avenue hotel where he makes his. I am by no means. Mr. Tuesday, as he hems and haws quite a bit before he tells me. He is a little guy. Well, it takes him some time to get down to cases, and tell me what is. I think Mr. Jabez Tuesday is a. G's for the job. What Mr. Tuesday wishes me to do is to get some letters that he personally. Miss Amelia Bodkin, who lives in a house just. Tarrytown, because it seems that Mr. Tuesday makes certain cracks in. Miss Amelia Bodkin, and he is afraid she is going. Such an idea will be very embarrassing to me,' Mr. Jabez Tuesday says, 'as. I am about to marry a party who is a member of one of the most high- toned. It is true,' Mr. Tuesday says, 'that the Scarwater. Miss Valerie Scarwater, is one. In fact,' he says, 'she is so high- toned that. Well, I ask Mr. Tuesday what a breach of promise is, and he explains to me. Brooklyn, and deal with it accordingly.'This is a very easy job for a person of your standing,' Mr. Tuesday says. 'Miss Amelia Bodkin lives all alone in her house the other side of Tarrytown. Now the idea. is,' he says, 'you are not to go to her house as if you are looking for the. She keeps the letters in a big inlaid box in her room,' Mr. Tuesday says. 'and if you just pick up this box and carry it away along with the silverware. You bring the letters to me and get your. G's,' Mr. Tuesday says, 'and,' he says, 'you can keep the silverware, too. Be sure you get a Paul Revere teapot with the silverware,' he says. It is. worth plenty.''Well,' I say to Mr. Tuesday, 'every guy knows his own business best, and I. I say, 'it seems to. Personally,' I say, 'I do not believe there is. G's, especially in these times, and throw in a set of. Shakespeare with them.''No, no,' Mr. Tuesday says. 'Such a course will not do with Miss Amelia. Bodkin at all. You see,' he says, 'Miss Bodkin and I are very, very friendly. In fact, we are very friendly. She does not have any idea at this time that I wish to break off this. Now,' he says, 'if I try to buy the letters from her, she. The idea,' Mr. Tuesday says, 'is for me to get the. Do not get Miss Amelia Bodkin wrong,' Mr. Tuesday says. 'She is an. Hell hath no fury like. And maybe Miss Amelia Bodkin may figure I am scorning her if. I am going to marry Miss Valerie Scarwater, and furthermore,' he. But,' Mr. Tuesday says, 'this. Miss Valerie Scarwater may. Miss. Amelia Bodkin.'Well, I round up Spanish John and Little Isadore the next afternoon, and I. Little Isadore playing klob with a guy by the name of Educated Edmund, who. Educated Edmund because he once goes to Erasmus High school and is. I invite Educated Edmund to go along. The idea is, I know Educated Edmund makes a fair living playing klob. Little Isadore, and I figure as long as I am depriving Educated Edmund of. Furthermore, I figure as long as letters are involved in this proposition it. Educated Edmund handy in case any reading becomes. Spanish John and Little Isadore do not read at all, and I. We borrow a car off a friend of mine in Clinton Street, and with me driving. Tarrytown, which is a spot up the Hudson River, and it is a very. It is the first time. Educated Edmund and Spanish John and Little Isadore ever see the scenery along. Hudson although they all reside on the banks of this beautiful river for. Ossining. Personally, I am never in Ossining, although once I. Auburn, and once Comstock, but the scenery in these localities is nothing. We hit Tarrytown about dark, and follow the main drag through this burg, as. Mr. Tuesday tells me, until finally we come to the spot I am looking for, which. This little white cottage has quite a piece of ground around it, and a. I spot. the gate to the driveway I make a quick turn, and what happens but I run the. You see, the idea is we are figuring to make this a fast stick- up job. I am greatly opposed to. I do not consider them dignified. Furthermore. they take too much time, so I am going to run the car right up to the front. The next thing I know, I open my eyes to find myself in a strange bed, and. I wake up in many a strange bed in my. Pulp Fiction (1. 99. Quotes. [Jules and Vincent take Marvin with them in their car and Vincent's gun goes off and blows Marvin's head off]. What the fuck's happening, man? Ah, shit man! Vincent. Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face. Jules. Why the fuck did you do that! Vincent. Well, I didn't mean to do it, it was an accident! Jules. Oh man I've seen some crazy ass shit in my time.. Vincent. Chill out, man. I told you it was an accident. You probably went over a bump or something. Jules. Hey, the car didn't hit no motherfucking bump! Vincent. Hey, look man, I didn't mean to shoot the son of a bitch. The gun went off. I don't know why. Jules. Well look at this fucking mess, man. We're on a city street in broad daylight here! Vincent. I don't believe it. Jules. Well believe it now, motherfucker! We gotta get this car off the road! You know cops tend to notice shit like you're driving a car drenched in fucking blood. Vincent. Just take it to a friendly place, that's all. Jules. This is the Valley, Vincent. Marsellus ain't got no friendly places in the Valley. Vincent. Well Jules, this ain't my fucking town, man! Jules. [Jules dials a number on his cell phone]. What you doin'? Jules. I'm calling Jimmie, my old partner. He lives in Toluca Lake. Vincent. Where's Toluca Lake? Jules. It's just over the hill here over by Burbank Studios. If Jimmie's ass ain't home, I don't know what the fuck we're going to do, man. Cause I ain't got no other partners in 8- 1- 8. Hey Jimmie, yo! How you doin', man? It's Jules. Listen up man. Me and my homeboy are in serious fucking shit. We're in a car and we gotta get off the road, pronto. I need to use your garage for a couple of hours.
