Have you observed? Quentin Tarantino has shown a special liking for rhyming dialogs in his movies. Here are some instances I have come across in his films to make you appreciate this aspect of probably the most verbose writer in modern cinema (outside of Woody Allen).
My name's Paul,
and this is between y'all (Paul, the bartender in Pulp Fiction)
My name's Pitt,
and you ain't talkin' your ass outta this shit. (Jules in Pulp Fiction)
My name is Buck,
and I'm here to fuck. (Buck in Kill Bill)
Zed’s dead baby, Zed’s dead. (Butch in Pulp Fiction)
Kill Bill (The title of the movie rhymes)
Have I overlooked any other instances? Show them to me.

Well, I did seem to have overlooked at least one more rhyme. Just watched the movie last night for the zillionth time and here's another rhyme I caught.
If your hand ain't off that case,
I'm gonna unload right in your fuckin' face.(Pumpkin in Pulp Fiction)

Somebody with a grudge blew Beaumont's brains out. Oh shit, that shit rhymes! "Blew Beau-mont's, brains out!" (Ordell in Jackie Brown)
A few more thoughts on QT's Pulp Fiction are here.
I think our desi movies are far ahead in this regard. May be fail to notice, but I hope you can remember Mithun's Gunda-- Naam hai mera Bulla, rakhta hoon main khula. Infact, that movie was dedicated to such rhyming. :P

yeah!! Gunda probably employed a lyricist to write the dialogues. Smiles
