analysis - Why didn't Vincent and Jules kill Marvin? - Movies & TV



In Pulp Fiction, Vincent and Jules killed all the guys at Brett's apartment for stealing the briefcase from Marsellus Wallace but not Marvin.




Why didn't Vincent and Jules kill Marvin in Pulp Fiction?


Answer



It's never explicitly said in the film, but if we listen closely the apartment scene we can understand Marvin was their informant within that group. Here is the script of the scene.




Jules - "We should have shotguns for this kinda deal."
Vincent -
"How many are up there?"
Jules - "Three or four."
Vincent -
"That's counting our guy?"
Jules - "Not sure."
Vincent - "So
that means there could be up to five guys up there?"

Jules - "It's
possible."





When Vincent says "That's counting our guy" Marvin was their guy who's the informant. After shooting Brett and the others, Vincent says to Jules, "Do you know this guy?" and Jules responds, "Yeah". This is why they didn't shoot him.
