Pulp Fiction #1 : Butch

Butch is played by Bruce Willis. Butch is a pro boxer who does a big NO-NO. He accepts a large monetary donation for him to take a dive in his next boxing match. Who paid him? Marcellus Wallace, that's who. Does Butch take that dive? Nope. Instead he kills the other boxer. Not on purpose, but still the same. He now knows he must flee the country before Marcellus or his thugs find and kill him. His story heats up when him and his woman vacate their home and SHE left something very important to Butch behind. His fathers watch, which leads to possibly the best narrative story of all time, spoken in flashback mode by the great Christopher Walken. "He wore the uncomfortable hunk of metal..." Butch must go back to his apartment, where he is certain he will be killed, but none of that matters. He needs that watch. He would rather die with the watch, than live without it. Although it happens in the middle of the film, it actually is the end of the film, if it were shown in order. I like Butch's story, because he is a badass. He is a little afraid of his future with Marcellus, but at the same time, he is unafraid. The end of Butchs story gets a little Gimpish. It didn't slack off, I'm just saying, "It's a chopper baby," and "Zed's dead baby."
