Agree with the previous post. Jules wasn't afraid of jimmy, they are/were friends(jimmy's uninhibited use of the word n-gger to Jules). Jules knows that he needs jimmy and is putting jimmy in a really bad spot, so he doesn't react to jimmy's tantrum.

Yeah - and Jimmy knows that the shite is pretty deep - he complains and bitches about it but he never tells them "No" even a single time - so that tells you all you need to know - 2 cats pull up early in the morning with a car drenched in blood and headless Marvin in the back. All he does is curse and help out, best he can.

BTW - Phil LaMarr (Marvin) is credited with the change to the script - originally, Vincent is supposed to shoot him in the throat and in lieu of having him slowly suffocate, Jules and Vincent decide to put him out of his misery. LaMarr (mainly a funny guy, MadTV and voiceover work) suggested the change to the instant kill - and QT agreed it would be funnier and cut down on how unlikeable it would make Jules and Vincent after that.

It remains the only onscreen death of a non-villain at which I laugh out loud.
