Because Jules lets them go, and the Rolling loud bear inglewood 22 shirt in contrast I will get this film ends with Vincent and Jules still together, walking warily out of the diner, with all the shit that will happen to one of them still in the hopeful and uncertain future. I think that Samuel L Jackson’s performance of Jules’s speech to Pumpkin is truly a great moment in American film. The stoic, pitying way in which he informs Pumpkin ‘The truth is, you’re the weak. And I’m the tyranny of evil men’ is up there with Robert Ryan’s more angry and agitated moment in Ray’s On Dangerous Ground, when he loses his temper at a perp for making him give in to his own rage: ‘You punks! Why do you make me do it?’ Ryan’s character is a white cop, and Jackson’s character is a black criminal, but the impulse is very similar, and it figures that Ryan’s character is about to harm someone, whereas Jackson’s is about to refrain from harming anyone.
This is hardly new to Pulp Fiction fans. My point is that Tarantino used the Rolling loud bear inglewood 22 shirt in contrast I will get this tropes of crime fiction—a loser criminal couple, a couple of badass hitmen, a terrifying boss, his vampy mistress, a past-it boxer—and by cunningly arranging them, and foregrounding how he was arranging them, taught a lot of us about how stories work. Butch does the right thing because people did the right thing by him, in delivering him his dad’s watch; but in Vincent’s only moment of self-reflection, when he’s talking to himself in the mirror in Marsellus’s bathroom while Mia dances to Urge Overkill in the next room, he says ‘You see, this is a moral test of oneself, whether or not you…you can maintain loyalty. Because loyalty is very important.’ (Throughout the film, Vincent is associated with mirrors; most of his conversation with Lance when he’s buying drugs is conducted with Vincent looking off-camera at Lance, who is reflected in the mirror.)
