Been a while since I did any good speeches or monologues from works of fiction I like, so it is time to change that! For my first, I present the wonderfully awkward monologue given by Christopher Walken in the film Pulp Fiction to a young Butch (later Bruce Willis), about the gold watch that is his family inheritance, and the strange (and occasionally unsavory) journey that leads it to our hapless protagonist, who will later apply the philosophy here to his own dealings with mob boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) in an equally sticky situation...
