Pulp Fiction celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, which should make some of us feel really old. Last week, Samuel L. Jackson stopped by The Graham Norton Show for a chat.

Jackson was asked to recite it to the theoretical man who might pick up his daughter for a date, which somehow makes it more terrifying.
