I’d have thought that was something Marcellus would have been careful to keep quiet.
Though perhaps Vince guessed what was being planned when he saw Butch talking to Marcellus.
I think he did it outside the bar when he left, as he was angry. And he probably wanted Vince to know it was him as Vince had insulted him. He presumably didn’t expect to see Vince ever again to confront him personally, so went ahead and keyed the car instead.
Agreed.
I don’t think they’d met before, as Butch doesn’t seem to recognise Vince. Vince recognised Butch presumably because Butch is a well-known boxer.
As for why Vince disliked Butch, I’ve asked about that in another thread.
I think Vince doesn’t tell Lance specifically who (he suspects) did it because that’s not really important to Vince’s story.
But Butch didn’t end up taking the fall like he was supposed to, and anyway that encounter happened before the bout took place.
Unless Vince knew about the plan in advance, but that seems unlikely.
I don’t think Butch had ever seen Vince before that encounter.
I think Butch knew which car it was just because the bartender’s car would presumably already have been there when Butch arrived, but Vince’s wouldn’t, so Butch could tell which was Vince’s.
I always assumed it was Butch who did it.
It looks like Butch is about to escalate the confrontation in the bar, but Marcellus calls Vince away, leaving Butch fuming; so unable to do anything to Vince, he opts for the next ‘best’ thing.
As for how Butch knew which car was Vince’s - there didn’t seem to be anyone else at the bar, so presumably Butch just keyed the car that hadn’t been outside when he arrived earlier, deducing that must be Vince’s.
No, I don’t think he did.
Before they go into the apartment, he says to Vince “let’s get in character”, suggesting he’s playing a role rather than telling the truth.
Also, he never mentions a girlfriend before or after, even when he announces his plan to leave and “walk the earth”.
Buddy Holly wasn’t overcharging, the restaurant he worked at was (arguably).
