It was shortly there after when one of Marcellus' gangsters called him in a panic because the gangster in their car shot a man and had no means of cleaning it up. Being relaxed and cool Marcellus responds to the call sending one of his best men to take care of the problem. The way Marcellus reacts to the situation also helps to calm the nerves of Jules, the gangster. It seems his leadership springs from his confidence, like Debra Tannin describes in the articles "You Just Don't Understand." Her research proves that poor questions, comments, or commands are not as likely to be executed as well as those that are firm and confident. Through his power Marcellus is able to gain followers that are loyal and true, weather be the fact that they also are scared. It seems almost ironic the way the main gangsters act throughout this movie. Vincent and Joules are the two main gangsters and they both possess split personalities. Even in the crime world, there seems to be a change of command; the gangsters are under the kingpin. Jules and Vincent do the dirty work that is passed down to them by Marcellus. One would be surprised in the way these two men react to truly difficult problems. It was Vincent who almost had a heart attack on the night he took Mia out on the town, as orders from the boss. She overdosed on heroin and came near death. Panicked, he rushed her to Chiastic, the drug dealer's, house in order to give her an adrenaline shot straight to her heart.
That was not the time only that Vincent and Jules had to call on the help of Marcellus. It was a mistake when Vincent shot a kid that was taken hostage. For fear of their safety and discovery the two men had to call on the assistance of Marcellus, who in his typical manner got on top of it and took care of the problem. I believe that Deborah Tannen's description of men fits the role that these men play. It seems that these men act truly as Marcellus puppets. Everything they do he is in control of and runs. When the men venture off the course they fall in a state of insecure ness and have to fall back on the knowledge and help of their boss. This also reflects the studies Deborah has organized on how when certain people lose control in a situation they seem also to lose their self-confidence and must rely on the help of another. The way Joules and Vincent must rely on Marcellus in order to perform his orders the way instructed. In another light, there is Mia. However minor her role is, it is still interesting. This attractive lady possesses some mystery, and is very hard to figure out. Only the audience realizes her true side of being a drug user. When Vincent takes Mia out on The date as mentioned earlier, he seems to carry that nervousness typical of someone on their first date with a member from the opposite sex. Therefore, Mia controls the night. She chooses where and what they eat, and what they talked about.
