I'm Winston Wolf. I solve problems.
— Pulp Fiction · 1994
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
It is a self-introduction as a job description: no boasting, just a fact. The Wolf's calm competence is the film's answer to the panic of Jules, Vincent and Jimmie, and fans love how much dry authority fits in five words. It has become the standard line for anyone who is the person you call when it goes wrong.
