What's really funny is that you have shít for brains. If you didn't, you would know that's what message boards are for: discussion. But you do have shít for brains, so the obvious has to be explained to you.

the point is for any user to be so against one idea, the briefcase containing a soul, but when a more erroneous comment, such as the contents are a dildo are met with no such reservations, it shows what twitwit is all about, its not about trying to figure out what it is, since with no such confirmation, speculation on a 22 year old movie is fun.
It appears to he an orange lightbulb. You win something. Sunce giving internets is such a trite thing, how bout an award for NOT being like the two angry dicks above. ?
I know there's a lot of wild theories, but I've always assumed it was just money. The light could be a symbolic thing rather than actual light emitting from the briefcase.

That wouldnt fit with a guy like ringo though. Would his response to a briefcase full of cash be "Is that what I think it is?" It seemed to me, based on his reaction and Vince's reaction in the apartment before that this is an unusual object. Unusual but known. Its also a singular item.
Hell, Vince probably wouldnt bat an eye at a million in cash in a briefcase. Seems like a normal thing for a guy like Marcellus.

I like to think it's Marcellus' soul. There is no other explanation that fits the dialogue. Until I hear a better explanation, this is the one I am going with. At the very least, it seems the most creative and fun answer to consider.

Ringo wouldnt know what a soul looks like though would he? Nor would Vince. I think Vince would be really confused about whats in there if is was a soul and not saying "We happy".
The real answer is it is a really valuable, rare but known object. With no name.

It doesn't fit the dialogue at all. The dialogue does not indicate that it's a soul at all, but is pretty generic, except to describe something beautiful, amazing, and instantly recognizable, which doesn't sound like a soul, especially one of a murderous gangster.
Until I hear a better explanation
The soul is not a good explanation. But an explanation is not needed, anyway, because the audience doesn't need to know what's in the briefcase, all we need to know is that it's important to the characters.

Well, whatever it was it was shiny and golden so as of now, think to stick with my original perspective. It had to be something extremely powerful to get Ringo to calm down and look at it in awe. He says, "Is that what I think it is?" or something so it had to be something incredibly famous and likely iconic that a random person like Ringo would recognize it and be in awe of it.
