‘Quentin recommended the Twist,” remembers Travolta. “And I said, ‘Well, Little Johnny Travolta won the Twist contest when I was eight years old, so I know every version. But you may add other novelty dances that were very special in the day.’ He said, ‘What do you mean?’ I said, ‘There was the Batman, the Hitchhiker, the Swim, as well as the Twist.’ And I showed them to him, and he loved them. I said, ‘I’ll teach Uma the steps, and when you want to see a different step, call it out.’ ” Tarantino then filmed the scene right on the dance floor with a handheld camera, calling out, “Watusi! Hitchhiker! Batman!”

“Quentin called me and said that in the scene he was then writing Mia is overdosing,” remembers Hamann. “He asked me, ‘What would somebody do to revive her?’ I said, ‘When it happened to me, somebody hit me up with salt water.’ It worked. Quentin took it a step further: adrenaline to the heart.”

Travolta, after winning the dance contest, is talking to himself in the bathroom in Mia’s home, knowing he’s a dead man if he doesn’t extricate himself from the minx in the living room. Meanwhile, she’s trawling through his trench coat, where she discovers a bag of triple-Grade A heroin, which she immediately lines up and snorts. “Maybe it was brown sugar at that point,” says Thurman. “The idea was that the character was too stoned to notice the difference between heroin and cocaine.” By the time Travolta comes out of the bathroom, she’s comatose, bleeding from the nose and foaming at the mouth. “Campbell’s mushroom soup,” says Thurman about the spittle, adding that the glazed-eyes effect was hers alone. “I worked myself up, acting. I don’t think we put anything in my eyes. You’re paid for something.”
