“I dont give a fuck what you know or dont know, but Im gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. Its so amusing for me to torture a cop. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you aint gonna get.”
Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs, 1992
This guy was the most twisted and sickly perverted guy in the whole movie. He had no reservations about killing people. He was brutal. He loved torture and death. By his own admission he liked to see the peoples expressions when they died. He was totally ruthless. He had no conscience.
I cant really explain why I liked this character so much. I dont EVER want to be like him or do the things he did. There was just something attractive about all his negative personality traits. Before he really starts getting into torturing the cop, he casually turns on the radio as if he needed some music to accompany the grizzly acts he was about to commit.
He was a man who insisted on having total control. He liked controlling situations and people. When they were in the jewelry store he advised the employees not to hit the alarm. When they did, he started killing them. This was his way of regaining control of the situation. At the same time he was acting out this concept, he was actually totally out of control. He went fucking crazy in the store. He slaughtered the people lined up in the store like he was shooting clay ducks in a local carnival shooting gallery. I know this is a contradiction, but Mr. Blonde was a contradiction of himself.

His calm facade was a cover for the monstrous things he did to people.
