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.

I disagree. Jules is the brains of the pair and he knows that most situations can and shuold be solved with tact and not brute force. Marsellis has plenty of "Hard, Pipe Hittin' N1gg@s", Jules is like an officer, smart enough to be trusted to get stuff done with minimal collataral damage. Plus, Jimmy is his friend, and I get the impression that Jimmy is close to the gangster shite, but not part of it. He's just the closest safe place Jules could get to.

I watched the movie again last night for about the 30th time. It's perfect. It's brilliant. And it's timeless. This scene is goddamn awesome:

Jules: [Vincent and Jules are cleaning the inside of the car which is covered in blood] Oh, man, I will never forgive your arse for this shite. This is some fricked-up repugnant shite.

Vincent: Jules, did you ever hear the philosophy that once a man admits that he's wrong that he is immediately forgiven for all wrongdoings? Have you ever heard that?

Jules: Get the frick out my face with that shite! The motherfricker that said that shite never had to pick up itty-bitty pieces of skull on account of your dumb arse.

Vincent: I got a threshold, Jules. I got a threshold for the abuse that I will take. Now, right now, I'm a frickin' race car, right, and you got me the red. And I'm just sayin', I'm just sayin' that it's frickin' dangerous to have a race car in the frickin' red. That's all. I could blow.

Jules: Oh! Oh! You ready to blow?

Vincent: Yeah, I'm ready to blow.

Jules: Well, I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherfricker, motherfricker! Every time my fingers touch brain, I'm Superfly T.N.T., I'm the Guns of the Navarone! IN FACT, WHAT THE frick AM I DOIN' IN THE BACK? YOU'RE THE MOTHERfrickER WHO SHOULD BE ON BRAIN DETAIL! We're frickin' switchin'! I'm washin' the windows, and you're pickin' up this ****'s skull!

I love the way Jules reacts when he realizes he's "on brain detail". Kills me.

I also love the short exchange between Vincent and Butch at the bar. Right away Vincent starts getting up in Butch's shite, like somehow he just nkows they are going to go at it later. Vincent calls him "paluka", like he knows Butch is a boxer. I wonder if they had run ins before?
