T-shirt reading ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
"All your base are belong to us" (often shortened to "All Your Base", "AYBABTU", or simply "AYB") is a phrase that became an Internet meme. The text comes from the opening cutscene of the 1991 European Sega Mega Drive version of the video game Zero Wing by Toaplan, which was poorly translated from the original Japanese version.
The meme developed from this as the result of a GIF animation depicting the opening text which was initially popularized on the Something Awful message forums. more info

Love you in Pulp Fiction, baby. That Bible quote?
Samuel L. Jackson (see note above on page 384) played a hit man in the film Pulp Fiction and would often deliver a not-quite-biblical monologue before shooting someone. You can see it here.

The somewhat misquoted Ezekiel passage from the film: Ezekiel 25:17.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
King James version of Ezekiel 25.
