Ezekiel 25:17 - Pulp Fiction (3/12) Movie CLIP (1994) HD

A violent interrogation scene from *Pulp Fiction* where Jules Winfield forces Brett to describe Marsellus Wallace before killing him.

  • Jules intimidates Brett by demanding he speak English and stop saying "what," escalating to a gunshot to the shoulder.
  • Jules reveals Brett tried to have sex with Marsellus Wallace's wife, which he frames as "fucking him like a bitch," a capital offense.
  • Jules recites his memorized Ezekiel 25:17 passage, blending biblical vengeance with personal threat, before firing the fatal shot.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the transcript of a YouTube video?

Paste the video link into the field on this page. AudioCap reads the video captions and shows the full transcript with timestamps in a few seconds, free and without an account. It works for normal videos and Shorts.

Is the YouTube transcript generator really free?

Yes. Reading and downloading transcripts of YouTube captions costs nothing and needs no signup. Transcribing your own uploaded audio and video files runs on professional speech recognition and stays free within a fair usage limit.

What is an SRT file and what do I need it for?

SRT is the standard subtitle format: numbered blocks with a start time, an end time and the spoken text. Video editors such as CapCut, Premiere Pro and Final Cut import it directly as a subtitle track, and YouTube Studio accepts it for clean captions on your own videos.

How accurate are the transcripts?

YouTube transcripts are exactly as good as the captions of the video: uploader-written captions are usually excellent, auto-generated ones can contain recognition errors. Uploaded files are transcribed with professional AI speech recognition including automatic speaker detection; clear audio without background noise gives the best results.

Why does a YouTube video have no transcript?

A transcript only exists when the video has captions. They can be missing because the creator disabled them, because YouTube has not finished auto-generating them yet (new videos can take a few hours), or because the video is private. In that case you can still download the audio or video yourself and upload the file here.

Can I download the transcript as a text or subtitle file?

Every transcript can be downloaded as a plain text file (TXT) or as a subtitle file (SRT). You can also select several transcripts and download them together as one ZIP.

How do I add subtitles to a video?

Upload your video, let AudioCap transcribe it, then click "Video with captions". The subtitles are burned permanently into the picture and you download a ready-to-post MP4, ideal for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

Is it legal to transcribe YouTube videos?

Reading a transcript for personal use, study or research is generally fine, and the captions are public on YouTube itself. The content still belongs to the video creator, so republishing or selling whole transcripts needs the rights holder's permission. This is general information, not legal advice.
