In the beginning scene you see the beaten bride and someone wiping her face with a handkerchief. We know it's Bill because right before he shoots her, he asks her if she finds him sadistic. He shoots the Bride on the left side of her head.

From Quiz The Beautiful and Deadly O-Ren Ishii

Answer: Lady Snowblood

'Kill Bill' is heavily influenced by Japanese pop culture and O-Ren shares multiple similarities with Oyuki, the heroine of 'Lady Snowblood'. Both women are assassins who wear white kimonos when they fight, and they both have a backstory involving revenge; O-Ren witnessed the murder of her parents when she was a child, while Oyuki was born in prison, and her mother raised her to get revenge on the men who raped her and killed her family. They also both know their way around a sword, and have their hair cut short when they work as assassins (in the Bride's flashback, O-Ren has her hair in a bob, though she grows it back later).

From Quiz Kill Bill Vol. 1

Answer: pink and yellow

Buck is a nurse at the hospital. Random gentlemen pay him to come have a good time with the comatose patients. When the Bride wakes up from her coma, she steals Buck's truck. It can be seen when she is leaving the hospital parking garage and when she reaches Vernita Green's house.

From Quiz "Kill Bill Vol.1" For Experts

Answer: Huntsville, Texas

Buck is from of course "Huntsville, Texas". Micheal Bowen played a cop in "Jackie Browne", and is not the sort of nurse you would want to have in "Kill Bill".

From Quiz "Kill Bill" Vol. 1: Go-Go Mania

Answer: A spiked ball on a chain

The most vicious "schoolgirl" in the 21st century loves the spiked ball on a chain. Not only is the weapon spiked, but it also contains retractable knife edges. Nasty girl, but not tough enough for "The Bride".

From Quiz The Beautiful and Deadly O-Ren Ishii

Answer: Cottonmouth

Vernita Green is Copperhead, Budd is Sidewinder and Elle Driver is California Mountain Snake. Bill, as the Squad's leader, is the Snake Charmer. The Bride was given the code name of Black Mamba due to being the deadliest assassin in the group and Bill's favourite (and Elle uses an actual black mamba to kill Budd in 'Kill Bill Vol. 2'), and Vernita is jealous because she thinks she should have been Black Mamba. When we see the Bride's kill list with the Squad's code names, 'Cottonmouth' is crossed out, showing that O-Ren is already dead, and her encounter with the Bride is shown as a flashback. The cottonmouth, also known as the water or swamp moccasin, is a poisonous pit viper that is native to the US. Ironically, the California mountain snake is a non-venomous snake and is relatively harmless, but Elle Driver is easily the nastiest and most unhinged member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

From Quiz Kill Bill Vol. 1

Answer: Vernita's daughter

Vernita Green, played by Vivica A. Fox, is fixing her daughter, Nikki, played by Ambrosia Kelley, some cereal. The Bride is sitting at the counter having coffee. When Vernita thought the Bride wasn't paying attention, she shoots at her with a gun hidden in the box of cereal. The Bride stabs Vernita and leaves her in the kitchen. However, when she turns to leave, she is startled by Nikki, who saw the killing. Then, she tells Nikki to come and find her if she wants revenge when she is older.

From Quiz The Beautiful and Deadly O-Ren Ishii

Answer: Under their bed

Boss Matsumoto and his goons invade O-Ren's house and hold her mum at knifepoint. Her dad fights off a couple of goons and successfully defeats two of them, but a third kills him. Boss Matsumoto then grabs O-Ren's mum and throws her onto the bed, before killing her too as she screams in terror. O-Ren, still hiding under the bed, cries for her parents. After Boss Matsumoto leaves, the goon who killed O-Ren's dad smashes a bottle of alcohol with a bullet and kicks Boss Matsumoto's smouldering cigar into the puddle, setting the house on fire.

From Quiz The Beautiful and Deadly O-Ren Ishii

Answer: His own katana

As the Bride says in the narration, "She swore revenge. Luckily for her, Boss Matsumoto was a paedophile. At eleven, she got her revenge." O-Ren kills Boss Matsumoto with the same sword he used to kill her mum, and she tells him to take a good look at her face, asking if she reminds him of someone he murdered. A pair of goons run into the room, see the little girl covered in blood and shoot at her, but she uses Boss Matsumoto's corpse as a shield and hides under the bed, and shoots them both. Nine years later, at the age of twenty, she becomes one of the world's greatest female assassins, demonstrating her sniping skills by shooting her target from a great distance while standing on a rooftop, while he is in a car with a couple of beauty queens.

Answer: "When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting."

Vernita Green is upset that "The Bride" was named "The Black Mamba" by Bill. She thought that she should be called by that name. We don't get to see too much of Vernita because she is killed at the start of the movie.
