There's no real 'dad' in 'Pulp Fiction' so we can't define a traditional role. However, if we look at the power structure in the movie as a form of family - like structure, the characters who have more power could be seen as having a father - like role in terms of controlling resources and dictating actions. For example, Marsellus controls the money and the jobs, much like a father might control the family finances and the family's activities in a normal family setting.
As there's no clear 'dad' character in 'Pulp Fiction', it's hard to define a role. But if we think of father - like roles in general, a character like Marsellus Wallace, if considered as a 'father' figure, plays a role of maintaining order in the criminal world. He is feared and respected, and his decisions impact the other characters' actions.

Lance plays a significant role in Pulp Fiction. He is a drug dealer and a friend of Vincent. His character is used to show the darker side of the movie's world. For instance, when Vincent needs help with the drug - related issues or when they need a place to hide out after the incident in the car. Lance's apartment becomes a crucial location. His reactions and actions in these situations contribute to the overall atmosphere of the movie, which is a mix of black humor, violence, and chaos.
The briefcase plays a central role. It's what the characters are after. It's like a magnet that draws them all together.
