Kill Bill Page #14

The Bride brings the table leg, which has a couple of nasty

looking nails in it, hard against the Japanese girl's thigh.

The nails cut through the plaid school uniform skirt into her

flesh...the Bride rips out the nails, taking some leg meat

with them.

Go Go lets out a horrific scream.

The Bride brings the table leg down on the toe of the young

girl's white tennis shoe. The nails stick in, the white shoe

becomes stained with red.

Go Go SCREAMS letting loose of the chain...falling on the

floor.

The Bride unwraps the chain around her neck, and begins

breathing air into her lungs.

Go Go tries to escape, dragging her f***ed-up leg with her...

The Bride rises from the floor and begins, twirling Go Go's

weapon above her head.

Go Go, fast as she can, climbs up the stairs to the second

floor...

The Bride stands at the bottom of the stairs, twirling the

ball and chain over her head.

Go Go frantically, and in great pain, climbs the stairs...

She gets to the top.

The Bride lets loose with the ball and chain...

It HITS the female bodyguard and one half of the Yubari

sisters, smack DAB in the back of the head.

CU GO GO:

We see her face as she's delivered a death blow right behind

it. We see behind her eyes and features, her life and spirit

shatter like a teapot.

Like a discarded rag doll, Go Go Yubari TUMBLES down the

staircase landing in a pile at the Bride's feet. Dead before

the tumble began.

The Bride throws the ball and chain to the floor. Her eyes go

to the last two remaining combatants...

...Mr. Barrel and O-Ren Ishii.

THE BRIDE(JAPANESE)

Any more subordinates for me to

kill, O-Ren?

Mr. Barrel says;

MR. BARREL

One last one.

THE BRIDE:

You're Mr. Barrel, right?

MR. BARREL

And you're Black Mamba.

THE BRIDE:

Our reputations precede us.

MR. BARREL

Apparently.

THE BRIDE:

Tell me Mr. Barrel, why don't you

wear your Kato mask? Are you and

iconoclast?

Mr. Barrel takes out a kato mask on a stick, like from a 17th

Century costume ball, and holds it over his eyes.

MR. BARREL

I don't like that rubber band. It

fucks up my hair.

THE BRIDE:

You shouldn't work for her.

MR. BARREL

Too late.

THE BRIDE:

It's not too late to quit.

MR. BARREL

Do you have choices?

THE BRIDE:

No.

MR. BARREL

I know exactly how you feel.

THE BRIDE:

This has nothing to do with You and

I, and everything to do with me

taking satisfaction from that b*tch

behind you. And there's absolutely

positively no way I'M going to

leave here without taking that

satisfaction. So Mr. Barrel, you

have to stand aside. And that means

you must quit, right now.

MR. BARREL

I can't.

THE BRIDE:

Yes you can.

MR. BARREL

No I can't.

THE BRIDE:

Don't say "Can't", there are no

"Cant's." Yes - You - Can.....

O-REN ISHII

Screams at her "...last line of defense;"

O-REN(ENGLISH)

What are you waiting for? Are you

on a date? Attack her you fool!

THE BRIDE:

Oh my God...

(pause)

...She just called you a fool. She

just called you a fool in front of

me. Not only am I your opponent.

I'm a female fellow countryman.

And you're going to risk your life -

to say nothing of harming me - for

a woman who refers to you as a

fool?

O-REN

is furious, and slaps Mr. Barrel on the shoulder.

O-REN(JAPANESE)

Attack, Goddamn you!

The Bride acts like she's embarrassed to witness what she

just saw.

Mr. Barrel spins in O-Ren's direction shooting her a look

she's never seen from him before.

He then looks back to the Bride.

Her eyes are waiting for his. She says with just the

slightest hint of plea in her voice;

THE BRIDE:

I'll owe ya one.

He looks at her a BEAT longer...then says as he resheaths his

sword;

MR. BARREL

The things I do for a pretty face.

INSERT:
The Blade sliding back down into the Sheath, The

Handle locks into place with a Click.

He looks back over his shoulder at his former Mistress, and

says;

MR. BARREL(JAPANESE)

I quit.

O-Ren fries and egg on her head.

Then with his sheathed Sword in his right hand, and his left

hand in his pants pocket, he walks across the carnage-strewn

room and out the front door. As he walks, when he's parallel

with the Bride, He stops and says;

MR. BARREL

About that one you owe me.

THE BRIDE:

Yes?

MR. BARREL

I'm gonna collect someday, you

know?

THE BRIDE:

I'll be disappointed if you don't.

He continues walking without a look back. Before he Exits the

restaurant, he throws a look in Sofie's direction, Who's

lying minus her arm in a pool of her own blood, and says;

MR. BARREL

Tough luck bout that arm Sofe.

He exits the Movie.

O-REN and The BRIDE

match eyes. The Japanese gal says;

O-REN(ENGLISH)

Very funny.

(pause)

Your instrument is quite

impressive.

THE BRIDE(JAPANESE)

Domo.

O-REN(JAPANESE)

Where was it made?

THE BRIDE:

Okinawa.

O-REN(JAPANESE)

Whom in Okinawa made you this

steel?

THE BRIDE:

This is Hattori Hanzo steel.

O-REN(JAPANESE)

YOU LIE!!

The Bride just smiles at her rival's response.

O-Ren's composure returns.

O-REN(JAPANESE)

Swords however never get tired. I

hope you've saved your energy. If

you haven't, you might not last

five minutes.

(pause)

Have you seen the garden in this

establishment?

THE BRIDE(JAPANESE)

No.

O-REN(JAPANESE)

Oh, you really should. It's quite

beautiful. Allow me.

O-Ren moves out of the position she's stood in for the entire

battle. She steps on the doormat of a corpse, that serves the

same purpose of a bottom step, and moves over to the white

paper wall and slides it open....REVEALING....

.....A WHITE WINTER WONDERLAND, set against a Jet Black sky.

A Snow-covered Japanese Garden awaits right outside. Snow

falls from the sky(Slightly artificial, not phony - but

Operatic/Theatrical). O-Ren stands next to the Bride in the

doorway looking out into the white night.

O-REN(JAPANESE)

As last looks go, you could do

worse.

The Queen of the Tokyo Underworld steps outside...

The Bride follows her...

INT. SNOW-COVERED JAPANESE GARDEN - NIGHT

As snow falls around them, they stand the correct distance

from one another.

COMBAT MUSIC BEGINS PLAYING, but not Japanese drums - Spanish

Flamenco Guitar.......

The Bride Unsheaths her Sword Quickly...Holding it out in

front of her...Tip of Blade pointed at O-Ren...Sword's Handle

and her Fingers wrapped around that handle, up by her

cheek...Her eyes are Reflected on the Blade...Snow falls

around her.

O-Ren begins walking forward towards the Bride...She raises

up her Sword, still in its sheath, in front of her face

vertically...then begins slowly unsheathing it...Snow falls

around her.

O-REN'S FEET

White socks in wooden clogs, walk forward, Crunching Snow

underneath them...

The BRIDE

Holding Sword...Eyes reflected in Blade...her Yellow Sneakers

Crunching snow underneath them...

O-REN

when her Sword is fully unsheathed, the Japanese combat

artist holds both arms straight out at her sides, Sword in

one hand - Wood sheath in the other, like a bird....

....The Two Women circle each other....

They SWING - CLASH - DANCE - SEPARATE...CIRCLE...SWING -

CLASH - DANCE - SEPARATE...
