The Crew Hunts the Rat, Explained：call it quits
After the botched job, the survivors turn on each other, asking who tipped off the police. One is accused, another points back, and the argument only stops when someone defends the wounded man: 'that kid in there is dying from a bullet I saw him take.'
あらすじ
The heist has fallen apart, and the men begin accusing each other of being the informer. One recalls a past job where an undercover cop was found in the team. Suspicion lands on several of them, including Joe, until someone defends the badly wounded man in the other room. Talk then drifts to directions and old partners.

What's really going on
The argument is really about trust, or the lack of it. The men can clear themselves and no one else: 'I can say I didn't do it cause I know what I did or didn't do, but I cannot say that about anybody else.' That single sentence turns every man in the room into a suspect, and it is why the accusations move so fast, from Mr Blue to Mr Brown to Joe. White's defence of the wounded man — 'that kid in there is dying from a bullet I saw him take' — is the only loyalty on display, and it is exactly the loyalty that will cost him later. The scene then slides into directions and small talk about an ex-partner, which is how Tarantino lets the room breathe before the violence returns.
Theme
TrustEach man can vouch for himself but not for anyone else, so suspicion spreads to the whole crew.
BetrayalThe hunt for the informer turns friends into suspects and exposes how thin their loyalty is.

このシーンについての質問
Why do the men suspect each other?
The robbery was clearly betrayed, and nobody can prove anyone else is innocent. Each man can only vouch for himself, so everyone becomes a suspect.
Who do they accuse first?
They run through the names — Mr Blue, Mr Brown, and even Joe. Joe is rejected because a friend says they go back a long time.
Why does White defend Mr. Orange?
He saw Orange take a bullet and believes he is dying, so he refuses to let the others call him an informer.
What does 'call it quits' mean?
It means to stop working together, to end a partnership. It is used here about an old pair of robbers who went their separate ways.
What do they talk about after the argument?
The tone shifts to ordinary things: directions to the bathroom, and small talk about an ex-partner named Alabama and what she is doing now.
