Yeah, it’s legal, but it ain’t a hundred per cent legal. I mean, you can’t walk into a restaurant, roll a joint, and start puffin’ away. They want you to smoke in your home or certain designated places ... Breaks down like this, okay: it’s legal to buy it, it’s legal to own it, and if you’re the proprietor of a hash bar, it’s legal to sell it. It’s illegal to carry it, but that doesn’t really matter ’cause, get a load of this, all right; if you get stopped by the cops in Amsterdam, it’s illegal for them to search you. I mean, that’s a right the cops in Amsterdam don’t have. ibid. Vincent to Jules

The world famous Jack Rabbit Slim’s twist contest. ibid. announcement
This watch I have was first purchased by your great grandfather during the First World War. It was bought in a little general store in Oxford, Tennessee ... This watch was on your daddy’s wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew that if the gooks ever saw the watch they’d confiscate it and take it away. The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright ... So he hid it. The one place he knew he could hide something was his ass. Five long years he wore this watch up his ass. He died of dysentery. He gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable lump of watch up my ass two years ... Young man, I give the watch to you. ibid. soldier Koons to little boy Butch
