Jimmie Dimmick owns the house where Vincent Vega waits in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.
Quentin Tarantino plays Jimmie, a civilian whose home becomes the temporary location for Jules and Vincent after they encounter a serious problem. Jimmie objects to their presence because his wife is expected home, creating the comic tension in the sequence. The character is not one of the film’s professional criminals; he is an acquaintance whose house is being used in an emergency.
The scene also features Winston Wolfe, played by Harvey Keitel, who arrives to manage the cleanup. Jimmie’s ordinary domestic setting contrasts with the violent criminal world surrounding him, making the conversation especially memorable.
Jimmie is easy to confuse with other minor characters in the film. Lance is the drug dealer who sells Vincent heroin, Brett is one of the men confronting Jules and Vincent, and Ringo is the diner robber known as Pumpkin. None of them owns Jimmie’s house.
