Quotes 

• Jules : Tell him there's a deadly poisonous snake inside of the cage. Tell him.

  Joseph : [Joseph eaves the room. Re-enters a few seconds later] 

  Jules : You didn't tell him?

  Joseph : [after a pause]  He knows already.

• Jules : Christmas has always been a wonderful time for me. In fact, that's how I got into trouble. I came home and found my wife giving my friend a... present.

  Amelie Ducotel : What a shame.

  Jules : Oh, it was my fault entirely. I should have written and told her I was coming.

• Joseph : Jules, you rush in and tell him before it's too late. Tell him there's a snake in that box.

  Jules : He won't believe me. He doesn't like me.

  Joseph : Albert, maybe you ought to run in and warn him.

  Albert : Why don't we cut cards for it?

  Joseph : Good idea. I'll get the cards.

  [Long pause as he slowly saunters over to get a deck of cards and returns] 

  Joseph : Who cuts first?

• Jules : [after failing to get any of the Ducotels to discover a body]  Isn't that always the way? When you have a body you don't want found everybody falls all over it!

• Jules : [on opening the petty cash box]  You'll have to forgive me, it's been a while since I've done this

  [closes eyes] 

  Jules : and I'm used to doing it in the dark.

• Jules : [seeing Isabelle for the first time]  I have a daughter about her age. She looked like her mother. Lovely woman, her mother. Wish I'd married her.

• Albert : They shouldn't let crooks like that on Devil's Island.

  Jules : No, it'll give the place a bad name.

• Jules : The defense... rests. How's that for a defense?

  Joseph : It reminds me of my lawyer.

• Jules : That is a very handsome woman.

• Felix Ducotel : You look different.

  Jules : We are different.

• Jules : [Talking about Joseph]  That's his life - selling people things they don't want for more than they can afford to buy.

• Jules : [handsome young doctor enters the store, and is spotted by the three convicts]  It's predestiny, that's what it is.

  Albert : Nah, it's that fellow from the boat.

• Jules : It isn't fair. Here we are, three desperate criminals who'll stop at nothing to escape from Devil's Island, and we have to fall in with nice people.

  Joseph : You guys act like you don't wanna cut their throats.
