Can we have a discussion about the use of "rambling" to describe Tarrantino's scripts? I absolutely understand where OP is coming from, but I'd argue that there isn't a wasted word in his dialogue. Every inch of it is deliberate, and direct, and building to a point whilst (stylistically) sounding like a naturalistic conversation. Yes, it's a bit - on the nose - at times, but it's deliberate and not rambling.

He rolled over on his mommy’s, daddy’s, two-panty granny and the fucking King of Siami.

You can bring in the state militia, LA Thunderbirds, ghost of Steve-fucking-McQueen and ten Roman gladiators…

I love these lines dearly, but yeah, there are “wasted words” in this movie.

Not a dig at you at all, OP, genuinely - I absolutely get your point, but would like to discuss it is all.
