PULP FICTION S P O I L E R!!!!!!!!!! To the person who was looking for motivation for Butch to go back into the basement and save Marcallus (Denis I think?)... I thought Butch was simply a person of honour (twisted sense of it but honour notherless). Now I realize this sounds quite trite but bear with me on this. There was a lot of care taken to show Butch's reaction to his wife (?) forgetting his Father's watch. He explodes violently but instead of taking it out on her he collects himself and forgives her, "I guess I didn't make it clear enough how important it was to me." For me, it is this scene that sets Butch up as, basically, a good person. Being a good person, he couldn't just leave Marcallus in the basement...no matter what their past. This is not to say that he might not have killed MArcallus anyway if the answer to the question "what now?" was not the favorable one Butch received.
