Green is a homemaker in Pasadena, California, living under the alias of Jeannie Bell and pursuing a quiet suburban life as the wife of Dr. Lawrence Bell and the mother of Nikki Bell. However, four years before the film's main timeline, Green had been a member of an elite group of bounty hunters, the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, led by the enigmatic Bill (played by David Carradine). Green, along with the other three members of the squad, attempted to kill Beatrix Kiddo (played by Uma Thurman) at a Texas wedding chapel. However, Kiddo survived in a coma for four years, and awoke suddenly to take revenge on her would-be murderers. After Kiddo killed O-Ren Ishii, Bill warned Green that she was next.

Sure enough, Kiddo showed up at her doorstep one morning and engaged her in brutal hand to hand combat. Just as the battle was getting truly nasty, however, Nikki came home from school, and Kiddo backed away, unwilling to kill her target in front of a child. Green sent Nikki to her room and apologized to Kiddo for what she had done, entreating her former comrade-in-arms to have mercy in light of the way she had turned her life around. Kiddo was unmoved, however, and insisted on settling the score in a duel later that night. Thinking quickly, Green shot at Kiddo with a handgun she kept concealed in a cereal box, but Kiddo ducked and quickly dispatched her with a throwing knife.

Nikki heard the commotion and went to the kitchen just in time to see Kiddo kill her mother. Kiddo smiled resignedly at the child and said she would be waiting for her in case she wanted revenge when she grew up. Some fans believe will be the focus for a potential third film.
