b. Bob was implying that Jimmy was sluggish at work. He had no desire to leave New York in search of great money.

c. He did not appear to be criticising his friend.

Explanation:

Silky Bob gives the following description of Jimmy Wells to the police officer, whom he does not identify as an old friend: "But if Jimmy is still alive, I'm sure he'll meet me here, because he's always been the truest, toughest old man in the world. He'll remember this for the rest of his life.... But, wonderful person that he was, he was a bit of a plodder."
