Sample lyric: "Bein' good isn't always easy / no matter how hard I try." Come inside and make yourself a drink." "Son of a Preacher Man" is playing on the stereo. He arrives at Marsellus' house to find this note: "Hi, Vincent. Mia is gorgeous and sexy and seductive and funny and…a coke addict.ĭid we mention seductive? She's coming on to Vincent from the get-go. The outfit exudes confidence and strength, both of which she's got plenty of.
As Marcellus' wife, she is powerful.Īs one critic put it, "She's the most powerful woman in a male-dominated world-she can get a terrifying assassin to dance the twist at her command" ( source). We'd call it a power outfit, you know? It's not unlike the suits that Jules and Vincent wear, telling us that Mia can stand up to the toughest of them. She's wearing a long white shirt and black cropped pants-no frills, no colors (except those bright red lips). Say Yes to the…Suitįrom the moment we see her, Mia's clothes speak wonders. Vincent needs to get high on heroin in order to go through with it. She's the most dangerous character in the movie. So when Jules, and later the bartender, learn that Vincent has to "take her out" and "show her a good time," they think it's hilarious. We know she's the big man's new wife, a "don't touch" person if there ever was one.
Before we even see her, Mia Wallace is the most talked about character in the film.
