Part 4/8:
The entire scene can be divided into three acts, each initiated by questions that draw the audience in and create suspense. In the first act, a series of inquiries from Jules, such as “You remember your business partner Marcellus Wallace don't you, Brett?” establishes authority and suspense.
Jules occupies a central position in the frame, visually demonstrating his dominance over the frightened Brett. The conversations about seemingly trivial things—a discussion about burgers, for instance—simultaneously intimidate and mock Brett, making the build-up to violence even more potent.
