The Wolf peers inside the car that, until he instructed accomplices in crime, Jules and Vincent, how best to clean up, looked like a mobile slaughterhouse. Blood, skull and brain had been splattered everywhere after a gun pointed at the head of a captive accidentally discharged.
Jules and Vincent appear pleased at their emergency detail work late in the movie "Pulp Fiction." So, too, does Jimmie, a character played by the film's maker, Quentin Tarantino.
But The Wolf offers a crude suggestion that it was too early to exchange congratulations because there was still the getaway to be accomplished.
The memorable scene came to mind Tuesday as so many observers awarded the Phillies next season's World Series title based on their surprise signing of ace Cliff Lee, the offseason's biggest free agent. For as The Wolf told Jules, Vincent and Jimmie, the job was yet to be completed.
For the Phillies, they still have to get back to and survive the postseason, where the Giants last October turned Lee into their series' bookends, beating him in the World Series' opener and in Game 5 to easily close out the best-of-seven championship over Lee's last employer, the Rangers.
There is no question that Lee turned an already daunting Phillies rotation into something that looks virtually unbeatable. Like his new teammate Roy Halladay, Lee is a Cy Young winner.
