Marsellus is last seen relaxing on his luxurious Los Angeles deck, telling Jules he will call Winston Wolfe to help clean up Marvin's body. Marsellus orders Butch to be killed after Butch reneges on a prearranged deal to throw a boxing match, but calls a truce after Butch saves him from the hands of Zed and Maynard. Intelligent and powerful, Marsellus is feared by everyone, especially Vincent, who must race to save Mia's life lest Marsellus order his execution. Marsellus's face is not shown until more than halfway through the movie, although early in the film, Jules describes him as a large, bald, black man. Marsellus Wallace is a drug dealer who is the central node connecting every character in the film, save Pumpkin and Honey Bunny. Butch survives the events of the plot, successfully riding away with his girlfriend Fabienne on a chopper named Grace. Butch's ill-fated attempt to retrieve his most prized possession, a gold wristwatch, forms the basis for his chapter of the story. Tarantino allegedly modeled Butch after the character Ralph Meeks in Robert Aldrich's 1955 film Kiss Me Deadly, and intended him to be a tough, "bully"-ish character. He first appears in the film taking a bribe from Marsellus Wallace to throw a boxing match, which he reneges on. Butch Coolidgeīutch is a late-career boxer whose father died in World War II, and he is the only character who the film shows as a child. Vincent is killed by Butch in Butch's apartment after going to the bathroom and leaving his weapon behind. Vincent can also be prickly and defensive, such as when he spars with Butch at the bar, or chafes at Winston Wolfe's workmanlike demeanor. Despite being an addict and a murderer, Vincent can also be likable and sensitive, such as when he explains to Jules the finer qualities of a foot massage, or when he mobilizes to save Mia's life. He is the brother of Vic Vega, also known as Mr. Vincent Vega is a heroin addict who, like Jules, is an associate of Marsellus Wallace's. After Jules is miraculously spared by a hail of bullets, an act he considers "divine intervention," he reconsiders his life of crime, and decides not to execute Pumpkin in the final scene of the film, instead working out a diplomatic solution. Jules's cool disposition is occasionally ruffled by his partner Vincent Vega, with whom he quarrels about issues both small and large. Jules never eats pork, and invokes the Bible before performing executions. Jules Winnfield is a remorseless killer, a hitman for the crime-lord Marsellus Wallace.
