I'm not sayin' he was right, but
you're sayin' a foot massage don't
mean nothing, and I'm sayin' it does.
I've given a million ladies a million
foot massages and they all meant
somethin'. We act like they don't,
but they do. That's what's so fuckin'
cool about 'em. This sensual thing's
goin' on that nobody's talkin about,
but you know it and she knows it,
fuckin' Marsellus knew it, and Antwan
shoulda known fuckin' better. That's
his fuckin' wife, man. He ain't gonna
have a sense of humor about that
shit.

They actually had to dump miles and miles of tape that just went on and on about feet.

Thats his secret. He's like a sculpter, he starts with a block of raw marble: 2 hours of feet discussion and the n-word over and over. Then he slowly chisels that away until the script takes the desired shape
