Bill: "He'll accept you as his student."
The Bride: "Caught him in a good mood, aye?"
Bill: "More like a sadistic one. Just seeing those steps again makes me ache. You're gonna have plenty of fun carrying buckets of water up and down that fucker."
The Bride: "Why did he accept me?"
Bill: "Because he's a very very very old man. And like all rotten bastards, when they get old, they become lonely. Not that that has any effect on their disposition. But they do learn the value of company."
