Pulp Fiction: The Bonnie Situation

My wife and I buy different coffee so I thought about this scene. 
Quentin Tarantino was dead on in this. The suburban husband who is still a guy that wants to help out his friend but really pissed off that he has to because he feels it's in violation of guy/friend code not to do so.
At the same time you can see he's missing one of his balls from his wife Bonnie and being married so I think this is what makes this scene relatable and great. Jimmy comes off as a bitch initially and at first glance but until you put yourself in that situation he is an awesome friend to say the least.
Also, Travolta doesn't say a word in the kitchen while drinking coffee but might be the funniest bit of the entire movie. Re-watching just his character is hilarious. The look on Travolta's face as he keeps drinking his coffee as Tarantino is going off on SLJ is priceless.
Obviously NSFW at all

Obviously she would be none to pleased if she saw a couple of gangsters doing some gangster shite in her kitchen.

the wolf crossed the line asking for those quality linens.

Weakest scene in a great movie.
What heft does Jimmy have to talk shite like that to Jules, who is otherwise a bad MF? Jimmy's repetitive use of the N word feels forced and awkward. But Tarantino always does that.
And the Wolf gets way too much credit for knowing how to use a water hose and wipe blood out of a car. He really brings nothing to the table except having a connection at the junkyard.

my favorite scene is after he talks the about gourmet coffee is when Wolf shows up and then takes a sip of his coffee and turns back to QT and gives him that nod like, "Damn, that's some good coffee."

one thing I just noticed by rewatching that scene...
Jules was afraid of QT's char, he definitely went Beta in that kitchen....makes me wonder what badass shite QT's char did that caused Jules some concern because normally Jules would kill someone for talking to him like that.

Is it possible that Jules is Bonnie's brother? Jimmy and Jules could have a personal history way beyond the underworld or just being old friends. They could be family and that is why he allows Jimmy to freak out the way that he does. He knows that Bonnie will divorce Jimmy because he has known Bonnie her whole life.
Take out the middle segment of Jules' "verse" that he speaks and it does give some credence that this could be the case.

Is the scene where Tarantino is married to a sister yet says nword every 5 seconds? Don't care for it and it's a big part of why I can't stand him.
