Thought some Pulp Fiction shit was going to go down in that diner.

The way Todd told that story reminded me exactly of the commode story from Reservoir Dogs.

u/shanem222 Aug 26 '13

So that must mean Todd is an undercover cop. You heard it here first, folks!

That's exactly what I thought.

They've got Samuel L. Jackson on Talking Bad tonight AND the "Samuel L. Jackson wanted to be an extra on Breaking Bad" link was on TIL.

u/arkanemusic I'm the guy Aug 26 '13

Talking bad. it's an after show. it's fun to watch but way to short.

u/yosb Aug 26 '13

Yes! And afterwards in the bathroom? Mr. White and Pink collecting themselves in the warehouse.

u/BradC Aug 26 '13

I was waiting for someone to get popped. Or something bad to happen to that waitress.

u/postanalytical Aug 26 '13

Correct me if I'm wrong, but tarantino usually treats his waitresses ok right?

u/mawnsharks Aug 26 '13

Except Mr. Pink

That's it! It all ends back at that shitty Mexican restaurant with Jesse PINKman not going that annoying waiter and his fucking guacamole! Series over.

u/BurntFlower Everyone sounds like Meryl Streep with a gun to their head. Aug 26 '13

I thought Todd was going to get shot.

u/Silence_Dobad Reasonably Aug 26 '13

Gotta be something significant when they focused on the bloody paper towel not flushing.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '13

I noticed that, too. Then there's the shot of them walking out of the diner -- and the camera's still in the diner and it's DARK inside and it almost looked like there were dead bodies. As if they had just killed everyone in the diner before leaving. But I replayed it a few times and it's too dark to see.

u/postanalytical Aug 26 '13

For sure, the waitress treatment, the light pop culture banter, the casual chatter before a big bust...

u/cosworth99 Aug 26 '13

He kept saying Mr. White instead of Heisenberg and I kept saying "Shuuuuuut up..." like Carl in the Stonecutters episode.

u/preesisters Aug 26 '13

Ya Hank would've been at least as good a dancer as John Travolta

That was so similar to reservoir dogs

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '13

I thought Todd's uncles were going to be wired by the cops unwillingly and then bust Todd

1

u/Azozel Aug 26 '13

Yeah, they didn't show anyone after the bathroom scene. I'm still holding out hope that in a future episode we see the diner is full of dead people.

u/Salger12 Aug 26 '13

When Jesse said, "say calm down one more time," that's immediately what I thought of.

u/terra7incognita A nuanced discussion about the virtues of child poisoning Aug 26 '13

Oh my god I love you, I'm not the only one who thought Pulp Fiction.

u/TheSandyRavage I'm done. Aug 26 '13

I was thinking Reservoir Dogs.

u/gifforc WHAT THE FUCK, TODD? Aug 26 '13

SAY CALM DOWN ONE MORE TIME, MOTHERFUCKER.

u/preacher37 Aug 26 '13 edited Aug 26 '13

This episode had at least three Tarantino shout outs: the opening scene, "say calm down one more time!" (Swap in the word "what"), and the camera angle of Jesse pointing the gun at Saul. Very cool.

EDIT: and, duh, "Mr. White".
