I never said that Budd didn't want to die. His actions, when it came down to it, showed that he didn't want to die, I guess, but before that, while he was talking to his brother--yeah, actually, it did sound like he wanted to die!
I realize that Elle made sure with Budd to give her a slow, painful death, but I suppose Elle wanted her to at least have a chance to fight back, hence a warrior's death. Being buried alive isn't "honorable." Maybe Elle is angry over Beatrix not having a chance to fight for her life, not over the fact that she suffered.

I don't think Budd sounded like he wanted to die. He sure as hell convinced the audience that he deserved to die, but I didn't get any impression that he wanted to. That was easily the best speech in the movie (Budd talking to Bill about Beatrix), and I didn't get any sense of him wanting to die from it. Of course, it can be taken differently, so maybe it gives that effect if ya look at it that way. I just took it as, "She's coming for us, and we're probably going to die. We deserve it."
