they're not discussing literature in the scene, but history.
the only contact the medieval europeans had with blacks was through moors (had contact with west africans) and arabs (contact with east africans), so they referred to them as moors or saracens too.
nort africa is morocco, algeria, tunisia, check out how they look - are they black?
walken is amazing, but in this scene, this particular juxtoposition where Hopper, in the face of a brutal mob boss and the pride that can only come from someone who lives a less-than favorable life...this scene is brilliant. Love the dual.
[double take] Come again...?
Bwahahahahahaaaaaaa!

@Tusc9969 they're more similar to the europeans on the other side of the mediterranean than to africans on the other side of sahara

This is a fantastic scene. I think it's probably one of the more underrated scenes in all-time cinema history, probably due to it's content.

best 10 minute scene ever, shame the rest of the film wasnt as good as this! not that it was bad.

@tom1980uk The Oldman/Slater scene is just as good. It was written by Quentin, I just wonder what the movie would be like had he directed it.

Walken epitomizes the caricature of a villain in this movie, and with it, gained my respect many years back when this was released.
