The same thing that was in the car trunk in "Repo Man".

Re: Pulp Fiction Briefcase
I saw the American premiere of Pulp Fiction in Austin. Tarantino was there and was asked the same thing. He said that he originally wrote it w/ money in the case. Then he said he replaced w/ diamonds. Then he just figured it was better for each individual person to put whatever they thought was most desired in the briefcase.
I'm sure he's been asked this a zillion times so I'm sure most people even fairly interested in movies have read or heard some response from him. Years later I read an interview and someone asked him about Wallace's soul. He thought that was indicated that he had no intention of trying to imply that thought people were reading into the "signs" way too much.

I understand what a MacGuffin is. And obviously the briefcase is a MacGuffin. But who cares? It's fun to argue about what's inside.
