I think what's so crushing about that scene is they are both right. She's in it for the thrill, and he's always aw shucks poor me it happened again. I don't know if anyone is really right or wrong in the situation. I mean, yeah, Jimmy should grow up and stop scamming and Kim should be happy with what's she got (an excellent job with room to grow.) But for whatever reason, to give these things up for each of them is like giving up a fundamental part of themselves. I think Chuck is sort of the n or unknown in the situation, especially now that he's dead - and it's pretty obvious that Kim doesn't understand the extent of hurt that he put Jimmy through, or maybe she thinks Slipping' Jimmy should use it to his advantage, idk. Jimmy obviously sees it as a hard no, he doesn't need or want Chuck's legacy to linger over his. Again, I can see this both ways. Jimmy should use his asshole brother to get himself ahead and get his license reinstated, but fuck chuck. But, Chuck said some of the most hurtful, brutal, nasty shit to him, and why should he even invoke the memory of such a vile shithead? So...I get it.
