ahhh I love this movie. It is one of my all-time favorites! It is sooooo funny, I never stop laughing in this one. I think it's one of those kinda movies that you have to really pay attention to what is going on, there are so many main characters and so much going on with all of them, but the story somehow connects each character to each other.
I think my favorite character would have to be Mickey (Brad Pitt). He's so hilarious as the "pikey" who nobody really understands.. I also like Turkish and Bullet-Tooth Tony.

Bullet Tooth Tony: Boris the Blade? As in Boris the Bullet-Dodger?
Avi: Why do they call him the Bullet-Dodger?
Bullet Tooth Tony: 'Cause he dodges bullets, Avi.
Brick Top: In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary... come again.
[Tyrone just backed into Franky Four Fingers' van]
Tyrone: I didn't see it.
Vinny: It's a two f*cking ton van Tyrone. Its not as though its a bag of f*cking peanuts now is it?
Tyrone: It was at a funny angle.
[All three turn and look back at the truck]
Vinny: It's behind you Tyrone. When you reverse, things come at you from behind.
Bullet Tooth Tony: You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
Sol: You ain't from this planet are you, Vincent? Who is gonna mug two black fellas, holding pistols, sat in a car that is worth less than your shirt?
Bullet Tooth Tony: A bookie's got blagged last night.
Avi: Blagged? Do me a favor, Tony, speak English. I thought this country spawned the f*cking language, and so far nobody seems to speak it.
