Was anyone else disappointed by that guy? "Please clean up the mess" is basically what he said.

  I think he was mostly there to calm down the house owner.

  I think eliciting that kind of disappointment in the audience was part of the "point" of the character :) The Wolf also said the coffee was pretty good, by the way.

    I've never thought of him as disappointing before. My reaction to him was: "damn, that guy's effective".

    What dissapointment? That's a bizarro reading of the scene. The Wolf was put there to be impressive -- domineering, knowing how to handle this shit like he's done it 100 times, professional, etc. Not to mention the fact that Tarantino was a huge fan of Harvey.

      And of course Harvey was the reason that Reservoir Dogs got made and possibly the only reason Tarantino has a career.

      It's not a bizarro reading of the scene. The Wolf gets there, everyone assumes he'll be a big deal, a supercool "fixer", but he actually simply orders everyone to clean up, and comments on the coffee. So the audience's expectations get subverted. It's the whole point of the character -- and apparently user UweSchmidt above thought the same as me. My downvoter seems to think I didn't like the character, but I thought it was genius.

  The purpose of Mr. Wolf: Marcellus Wallace put him in charge, so they had to do what he said instead of fighting and wasting time. He paid off the guy whose garage they used to keep him friendly. He arranged and paid for the disposal of the corpse and the car. He drove the car with the body in the trunk so he was taking the risk of getting stopped by the police. He basically handled every aspect of the body disposal except for the manual labor.

  No: he calmed them all down, organized them, AND told them exactly how to clean the mess and what to avoid, and gave them the confidence they needed to carry that through. Plus, he knew were to dispose of the body/car.
