Pink killed cops, no “real people.” Them asking each other if they killed cops is their way of playing detective to determine if they are a rat. Finally, at the end we begin to see that these two men are now questioning each other on there whereabouts because the other is potentially a rat, which propels us forward in the story. This is a brilliant way to get exposition across without it being rote. The characters in the story need to figure out what happened, it’s a mystery to them as much as to us so, they recount what they remember and by doing so they are able to give us the information we need. Tarantino is giving us bits of information in order for us to keep up with what’s happened, but he does it in a very particular way. What’s key to pay attention to in the scene is that we as the audience are receiving exposition as to what previously happened. Once they peg this down, they begin to question each other as to how they got out and back to the warehouse. Blonde starts shooting everyone and the cops show up. We learn that the alarm gets tripped, Mr. Orange to figure out what happened during the robbery. Pink comes in claiming that it must have been a setup because the cops were just there waiting for them, there was not enough time for them to respond. Orange to the hospital because they’ve committed a crime. They are waiting for Joe to come, and Mr. White is able to get him into a warehouse, and puts a gun in hand. Orange who’s been shot, lying in agony in the backseat of Mr. When you do the emotions that he wants you to experience will bubble up. Tarantino has the unique ability to bring an audience along for a ride, enjoyably, with his words and in my opinion it’s important to not be overly analytical of this, but rather allow it to work on you. We see who is in control, who rebels or is a free-thinker against the majority, who’s in control and within a few minutes specific relationships are created and we feel like we have a sense of who we are going to be journeying with for the next 90 minutes. We are able to understand the characters in a specific way. Who the characters are is revealed not simply by what they say, but why they say it. Though they are talking about everyday things, why they believe what they believe about them is what matters. What does this mean? Well, it makes more sense once you see the film, but I believe it’s important to understand that Tarantino’s use of dialogue isn’t simply to create a scene that will make you laugh (which it does brilliantly), his words reveal character. It’s a group of guys, the majority of which are wearing the same exact outfit, having breakfast and debating with great passion their views about pop-culture and tipping. This opening scene can seem off the path. “Nevermind what you normally would do, just cough in your goddamn buck like everyone else” Joe says to Mr. Pink he demands he put in the buck since he paid for the breakfast. When Joe gets back he sees someone hasn’t tipped.
Pink then goes on to tell everyone that he doesn’t tip when Joe pays for breakfast, but asks everyone to chip in a buck a piece for tip. Joe tells someone to shoot this guy for not giving the book back. White takes his book because he can’t stand it any more. The film starts out in a restaurant with the guys talking about what Madonna’s song "Like A Virgin" means, and Joe keeps speaking names out loud out of his book until Mr. Written by people who wish to remain anonymous
