===''Pulp Fiction''===
''[[w:Pulp Fiction|Pulp Fiction]]'' is an American 1994 independent crime film directed by [[w:Quentin Tarantino|Quentin Tarantino]]. In the Poccasin Archipelago, ''Pulp Fiction'' constitutes a large part of the modern Poccasin cultural zeitgeist; the film is endlessly referenced everywhere, from film, literature, video games, advertisements and even haircuts; the "Binsencha" haircut, popular during the 90s and early 00s in the Poccasin Archipelago, is based on the haircut worn by [[w:Pulp Fiction#Cast|Vincent Vega]] ([[w:John Travolta|John Travolta]]) in the film.
In particular, two sequences in the film are especially popular for homage; the [[Literature:Ezekiel 25:17|Ezekiel 25:17]] monologue, and the "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA_Tl1kvlQU Pigs are filthy animals]" conversation.
====Ezekiel 25:17====
This extract is adapted from the Bemé translated subtitles of the original scene in ''[[w:Pulp Fiction|Pulp Fiction]]''. Due to the importance of the scene in the Poccasin cultural zeitgeist, the extract starts from where the passage most quoted; namely, where Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) asks Brett (Frank Whaley) if he reads [[w:Bible|the Bible]]. This extract is presented in screenplay format.
