Fargo (1996) Edit

A fucking liar.

A good place for lunch in the downtown area?

A lot of money. Yeah, but the difference...

A what?

About that USFI search on Shep Proudfoot.

All right, don't worry. I'll take care of this.

All right, I'm not saying I didn't.

All right, it's just the tags.

All right, Jerry, I'm through fucking around.

All right, Jerry, you got the phone to yourself?

All right.

All right.

All right. Where were you?

All the more reason. I don't want you...

An empty chicken somewhere that lays empty eggs?

And a beer and a steak, maybe.

And for what?

And he looks like a nice enough guy.

And he says, "But I'm going crazy out there at the lake."

And he says, "Where can a guy find some action?

And he says, "Woman action. What do I look like?"

And here you are, and you're wasting my time and my wife's time,

And here you are.

And I can give it to you with a heck of a sealant.

And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper.

And I saw you on the news there.

And I says, "Well, that don't sound like too good a deal for him, then."

And I says, "Well, what do I look like?

And I says, "What kind of action?"

And I says, "Yeah, but this ain't that kind of place."

And I shoot all your little fucking children

And I shoot them all in the back of their little fucking heads. You got it?

And I shoot you and l shoot your fucking wife,

And I was just watching on TV about these shootings up in Brainerd.

And I was just wondering if you'd had any new vehicles

And I'll tell you what.

And I'm paying 19,500 for this vehicle here.

And if you see your friend, Shep Proudfoot,

And it's a beautiful day.

And it's gotta be delivered by me alone.

And keep your retirement

And second one's a private residence,

And step out of the car, please, sir.

And that's the truth.

And then he says, "Jeez, I'm going crazy out there at the lake."

And then I saw you on the TV and I remembered, you know?

And then I've been working for Honeywell for a few years now.

And then this execution type deal.

And then we'll get laid, all right?

And then... I've been so lonely.

And there's no doubt about it, I'm gonna have your baby.

And they called someone who works here,

And this guy was who?

And this little guy's drinking,

And those three people in Brainerd.

And thought I should call it in, so I called it in.

And went over this and over this.

And you can't say one fucking thing just in the way of conversation?

And you collect when it pays off.

And your so called social security

Animals!

Antilock brakes, alarm, radar,

Anyone else residing there?

Anyway, he's drinking at the bar,

Are we square?

Are we square?

Are you calling Stan?

Are you down here on that homicide,

Are you from around here?

Are you married?

Are you staying for supper?

Babe, the Blue Ox.

Back there a good piece, in the ditch next to his prowler.

Because, see, the crime I'm investigating,

Been here for days.

Before he could finish filling out the tag number.

Believe me.

Better times, huh?

Better times.

Big fucking man, huh?

Blood has been shed.

Blue Ox, that's that truckers' joint out there on I 35?

Bob Elcorona, line two.

Brainerd.

Bucky, please.

But how do you know that for sure without doing a...

But I can't read the serial numbers here, so if you could read me...

But I dropped out, though.

But I went to high school in White Bear Lake.

But maybe I'm saying that, you know,

But nothing in the nature of a homicide.

But seeing as it's special circumstances and all,

But something's come up.

But thanks for calling her in.

But the night before, two men checked into the Blue Ox,

But then Mrs. Mohra, she heard about the homicides down here

But there's not a heck of a lot to discuss.

But this here's a good deal.

But we never talked about your fee for bringing it to us.

But we still haven't found Gustafson?

But you think he's all right?

But... Well, I'm sorry, sir...

Calls made from the lobby pay phone at the Blue Ox.

Can I see your license and registration, please?

Can you be any more specific?

Can you crack a fucking window open, man?

Carl something.

Carrying a bit of a load here.

Certainly.

Certainly.

Chaska. Le Sueur.

Circumstances have changed, Jerry.

Come by at 2:30. We'll talk about it.

Come on, brother...

Come on, plug me into the ozone, baby! Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on.

Come on. What's the big deal? It's just an hour...

Congratulations, Jer.

Cop?

COPY

Copy. And Lundegaard, too?

Could you open the door, please?

Course I remember you.

Dad...

Dad's here.

Damn it, come on! Plug me in, man. Give me a fucking signal.

Damn it, I want to be a part of this thing.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Detective Sibert?

Did you fucking notice this?

Did you hear the one about the guy

Didn't monkey with his car there, did you?

Do you mind if I sit down?

Do you mind if I sit down?

Don't ever interrupt me, Jerry! Just shut the fuck up!

Don't worry about it, Jerry.

Don't you dare fucking hit me!

Don't you fucking but me, Jerry.

Don't you know that?

Drop that fucking money!

Easy there. Easy there. You do, too.

End of story.

Everything will be all right

Except that you were gonna be here at 7:30.

Fight the boredom of the road,

Find that work interesting, do you?

Finder's fee is, what, 10%?

First one's a trucking company

For a little bit of money.

For Pete's sake, he's fleeing the interview.

For Pete's sake.

For Pete's sake.

For you to loan me the money to put in.

Found out the Hautmans are entering a painting this year.

From his footprint, he looks like a big fella.

From Hollywood, The Tonight Show, starring...

Fuck it. Let's take a look at that Cierra.

Fuck you, man! Where's Jerry?

Fuck you, man. Stop it!

FUCK you!

Fuck you.

Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck!

Fucking asshole. Get the fuck out of here.

Fucking little weasel!

Fucking shitbox.

Gary says triple homicide?

Gary's loudmouth.

Get the fuck out of here.

Go ahead, ask them!

Go Bears.

God...

Goddamn it!

Goddamn it!

Goes like this.

Going to McDonald's instead of finishing here.

Good day, sir. Yeah.

Good to see you again, Jerry.

Gophers.

Got a call for you, Jerry.

Got it?

Gotta go to a place where I can get a shot

Granddad and I, we're, we're making sure this gets handled right.

Great, great.

Great.

Gustafson's accountant.

Hands up!

Hautman's blue winged teal got the 29 cent.

Have him...

Have you done any kind of inventory recently?

He didn't...

He just ate. He didn't finish.

He never done this before,

He never...

He passes on this stuff before it gets kicked up to me.

He says I can knock $100 off that TruCoat.

He says it's pretty sweet.

He says, "Oh, so I get it. So you think I'm some kind of jerk for asking."

He says, "What do you think about that?"

He stepped out.

He was a little older.

He was bothering Linda for about... For a good year.

He wasn't circumcised.

He... Then I don't vouch for him.

He's at North Star. He's at...

He's fleeing the interview!

He's living with his parents now.

He's not here right now.

He's peed three times already.

Heck, I'd go one over prime?

Heck, Norm, you know, we're doing pretty good.

Heck, that's not gonna do it for me.

Heck, yeah. You think is Dave open yet?

Heck, you don't know.

Hello!

Hello?

Hello?

Her dad, he's real well off.

Here are the keys.

Here it is, throwing off the larval envelope.

Here. There's your $4, you pathetic piece of shit.

Here's a song I dedicate to all the ladies out here tonight.

Here's the second one!

Here's your damn money.

Hey, I'll take care of this.

Hey, let's watch that language there.

Hey, look at that. Twin Cities.

Hey, Norm, l thought you was going ice fishing up at Mille Lacs.

Hey, smoke a fucking peace pipe!

Hey, you got Arby's all over me.

Hey, you're there in 30 minutes or I find you, Jerry,

Hi, hon! Welcome back!

Hi, Norm. How you doing, Margie?

Hi. Hey.

Hi. Hey.

Hi. How you doing?

Hi. How you doing?

Hi. It's Marge.

His wife? Linda.

His wife. This guy says she was kidnapped last Wednesday.

Hiya, hon.

Hiya, Lou.

Hiya, Norm. How's the painting going?

Hold on.

Hold on. No fucking way.

Home of Paul Bunyan, Babe, the Blue Ox.

Hon, you can sleep.

Hon, you're better than them.

Hon?

Hon?

Hon?

How are you doing? What time is it?

How are you, Stan? How you doing, Wade?

How can I help you, Officer?

How do I get an outside line here?

How long you work for the escort service?

How the fuck do you split a fucking car, you dummy?

How to make Holidazzle eggs ourselves, at home.

How was everything today?

How was Fargo?

How we doing on that vehicle?

How you doing there, Scotty?

How you doing there, Wade?

How you doing, Wade?

How you doing?

How you doing?

How you doing?

How's it look, Marge?

How's Jean?

How's that Cierra working out for you?

How's the fricassee?

How's the painting going?

Huh?

Huh?

I already got the money.

I already got the... What? The...

I always liked you so much.

I always liked you.

I am talking about your potential.

I am through fucking around!

I answered the darn...

I assume, if you're not interested,

I brought you some lunch, Margie.

I can't believe it.

I can't read the serial numbers of the vehicles.

I couldn't really say.

I decided not to take the trip, as it turns out, so...

I did.

I didn't mean to...

I don't have them in front of me.

I don't know. A few months.

I don't need a finder's fee. I need...

I don't see nothing like that here.

I don't think so.

I figure they stopped him or shot him

I gave simple fucking instructions.

I got every confidence here in you fellas.

I got fucking shot in the face!

I got fucking shot!

I got shot fucking picking it up!

I got the groceries!

I gotta tell you, Wade, I'm leaning to Jerry's viewpoint here.

I guarantee you your money back.

I guarantee, this was an honest to goodness...

I guess that's a defensive wound.

I guess that's it, then.

I guess the little guy sat in there

I guess you think you're, you know, like an authority figure.

I guess.

I had a couple lots, late 50s. Lost a lot of money.

I had to do a few things in the Twin Cities,

I had to do a few things in the Twin Cities,

I hope I didn't wake you.

I just can't read the serial numbers on your application.

I just don't understand it.

I just fucking pulled in here.

I just have to know that these vehicles

I just pulled in here.

I know it's a lot.

I know you don't want to be an accessory to something like that.

I know, but...

I love you, Margie.

I love you, Norm.

I mean a parking lot.

I mean, are the cars counted daily,

I mean, send it over. I'll shoot it right over to you, then.

I mean, whoa, daddy. Stand back, man.

I mean, you give us half the ransom, 40,000, you keep half.

I need the principal.

I need unguent.

I never put my tags on the car.

I put you in touch with Grimsrud.

I read that letter that she wrote.

I sat right here and said I didn't want any TruCoat.

I saw him last night and...

I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't.

I think I understand all there is...

I think that vehicle there probably had dealer plates.

I thought Shep told you.

I thought you were gonna show it to Stan Grossman.

I thought, "Jeez, is that Margie Olmstead?"

I told you it was over, and I thought I made myself very clear.

I understand. I'll keep it real short, then.

I understand. It's a lot of money.

I vouch for Grimsrud. Who's his buddy?

I want complete security. Heck, FDIC.

I want you to put this money in the Dayton Radisson parking ramp, top level,

I was just thinking we could take care of it right here,

I was just wondering...

I was married. I was married to...

I went to Normandale for about a year and a half.

I will have to refer this matter to our legal department.

I will say this, though.

I'd be very surprised if our suspect was from Brainerd.

I'd pay you back the principal and interest.

I'll be back in a minute.

I'll fix you some eggs.

I'll fix you some eggs.

I'll fix you some eggs.

I'll handle the call if you want, Jerry.

I'll talk to my boss.

I'm asking you here, Wade.

I'm Carl Showalter.

I'm coming into town tomorrow.

I'm cooperating here, and there's no...

I'm cooperating, and there's no...

I'm doing all the driving, man,

I'm doing really super there. Thanks.

I'm expecting now.

I'm fucking hungry now, you know.

I'm going to bed now.

I'm Jerry Lundegaard.

I'm just doing my job here.

I'm Mrs. Gunderson. I have a reservation.

I'm not gonna debate you, Jerry.

I'm not gonna debate you, Jerry. I'm not gonna debate!

I'm not gonna sit here and debate.

I'm not sure that I agree with you 100%

I'm not talking about your damn word, Jerry.

I'm not... I'm not arguing here.

I'm on my way out of town, but I was wondering...

I'm pregnant.

I'm saying call a professional.

I'm saying the cops, they can advise us on this.

I'm sitting here driving.

I'm sorry, sir?

I'm sorry. It's...

I'm supposed to have the money ready tomorrow.

I'm sure sorry. Shep told me 8:30.

I'm sure they do,

I'm taking a drive around Moose Lake.

I'm taking that fucking car!

I'm telling you.

I'm the Executive Sales Manager.

I'm turning in, Norm.

I'm working with you on this thing here, but...

I'm working with you on this thing here, but...

I'm...

I've been up for 36 fucking hours!

I've had a doctor's test, I've got the certificate,

If I give these sons of bitches $1 million,

If I wanted bank interest on 750,000,

If I'm only getting bank interest,

If it's so damned important to you.

If Stan calls, you just tell him I went to Embers.

If these numbers are right, this looks pretty sweet.

If you're allowed, you know, to discuss that?

If you're the one they talked to,

If your numbers are right, Stan says it's pretty sweet.

In Brainerd.

In order to close the deal.

In the spring, the larvae hatch, and the cycle begins again.

In what way?

In what way?

Investigating some malfeasance.

Is everything okay?

Is he staying for supper, then?

Is Jerry around?

Is there a phone down here, you think?

Is there anything else you can tell me about him?

Is this a fucking joke here?

It certainly is, Officer. Still got that smell.

It doesn't make any sense.

It just seemed like it all hit him really hard, his wife dying.

It must have slipped my mind.

It was a mix up, I guess.

It was long...

It was tough.

It was tough.

It'll cost you a heck of a lot more than $500.

It's a heck of a lot. What did you say you were gonna put there?

It's a real shame.

It's a terrific time. I know you've heard about it.

It's actually Eden Prairie.

It's all part of this...

It's always the same. It's always more.

It's been such a long time, Mike.

It's Dad. Okay.

It's everywhere. They'll find them.

It's great to hear from you.

It's in the head and the hand there.

It's just a three cent.

It's just hard for me to believe you don't remember anyone calling.

It's just morning sickness.

It's like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

It's my deal here, see.

It's my money, I'll deliver it.

It's my show here. That's that!

It's nice.

It's not that things didn't work out. It's...

It's okay, Dad.

It's okay, hon. I gotta run.

It's okay, McDonald's?

It's okay, Mike.

It's okay, Mike.

It's okay, Scotty.

It's okay, Scotty.

It's okay. The loans are in place.

It's out in the lot there, brand new, burnt umber Sierra.

It's pretty darn busy here, but that's the way we like it.

It's really super.

It's something... Jeez. It's terrible.

It's terrific.

It's that disparity there that concerns your dad and me.

It's the way we'd prefer to handle it, Jerry.

Janie, two more of those Skin So Soft, please.

Janie, two more of those Skin So Soft, please.

Jean and Scotty never have to worry.

Jean is my wife here.

Jeez, that's a good lead.

Jeez!

Jeez! Oh, you look great!

Jeez! What the heck are you...

Jeez.

Jeez.

Jeez.

Jeez. So“.

Jeez. Well...

Jerome Lundegaard?

Jerry Lundegaard.

Jerry, we thought you were bringing us an investment.

Jesus Christ! You fucking shitbag motherfucker!

Jesus Christ.

Jesus, that's more than I've heard you say all week.

Just a Diet Coke, please.

Just a little of the old in and out.

Just a sec.

Just a sec.

Just clear him off the road.

Just in a general kind of way.

Just in and out.

Just in town on business.

Just McDonald's.

Just total fucking silence.

Just trying to chat.

Katie and I, along with Twin City Travel,

King clip on tie there.

Let's find each other tonight

Let's find each other tonight

Let's go take a look at that trooper.

Let's just finish this deal up here.

Linda had leukemia, you know.

Little guy, kind of funny looking.

Long term parking charges by the day.

Look, all's I know is, you got a problem, you call a professional.

Look, Dad, there's no fucking way...

Look, Jerry, you're not selling me a damn car!

Looking...

Looks like she's gonna turn cold tomorrow.

Lou Diamond, line one.

Love you, hon.

Love you, Margie.

Lunchtime.

Lundegaard's father in law's accountant.

Ma'am, I answered your question.

Margie Olmstead?

Margie, thought you might need a little warm up.

May I be excused?

May I have your ticket, please?

Maybe if you could just read...

Might be interested.

Mike Yanagita?

Mike?

Mike's had psychiatric problems.

Mmm hmm.

More than most people, even.

My father in law, he's the owner.

My fee?

My patience is at an end. Yeah.

My point is,

Never heard of him. Don't vouch for him.

No Jean, no money!

No Jean, no money.

No kidding?

No kidding? I'd need the cash pretty quick there,

No way, Wade. No way.

No way.

No, but, Wade, see, I was bringing you this deal

No, I...

No, I... They don't...

No, no, no. Fax...

No, no. Just so I can see you. Don't have to turn my neck.

No, no. Nothing's going wrong here.

No, no. See, L“

No, no. See... But I'd...

No, no. That's fine.

No, see“. There's $1 million here.

No. No. No one can know about this thing.

No. See, they only deal with me.

No. See...

No. That's okay.

No. They said no cops.

No. Why don't you sit over there? I prefer that.

No...

Nope.

Nope.

Nope. No, ma'am.

Norm made some eggs.

Norm.

Not more fucking pancakes. Come on.

Not too bad. You know.

Nothing, Wade. How you doing there?

Now, I'm in a bit of trouble.

Now, is Scotty gonna be all right?

Now, Katie, I gotta admit... What?

Now, look here. I can explain this.

Now, we had a deal here. A deal's a deal.

Now, were you thinking of financing here?

Now, where's my daughter?

Of course they're gonna say that.

Officer Olson.

Oh, come on, man.

Oh, damn it.

Oh, for Christ's sake here.

Oh, for Pete's... Of course they do.

Oh, fuck it. I don't have to talk either, man.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Got a front coming in.

Oh, yeah. Long time ago.

Oh, you did. You made yourself perfectly clear.

Oh.

Okay, because if I can't correlate this note with the specific vehicles,

Okay, Jerry.

Okay, now, for those of you that just joined us,

Okay, now, you stay away from Scotty, now.

Okay, okay. Fine.

Okay, see, it's not me paying the ransom.

Okay, well, I don't... How do you... I mean, you don't have

Okay. Real good, then.

Okay. There in a jiff.

Okay. Well, thanks a bunch, Mr. Mohra.

Okay. Well...

Okay. Yeah.

Okay. You know.

Okey dokey. Thanks a bunch.

On your police work there, Lou.

On, daddy.

One of us pays the other for half.

Only he don't use the word "jerk."

Open the fucking gate!

Or else we're gonna have to, you know, to shoot you.

Or I'll throw you back into the trunk, you know.

Or John Hancock building, whatever.

Or what kind of a routine here?

Or your fucking wife, Jerry?

Or your fucking wife, you know?

Otherwise, I'm going to a professional.

People don't much use the three cent.

People need the little stamps.

Personal matters?

Police!

Police!

Pretty darn good. You want some?

Pretty good, Mr. Lundegaard.

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

Prowler needs a jump.

Put that back in your pocket, please,

Real good, then.

Real good. How are you doing today, ma'am?

Really pestering her, wouldn't leave her alone.

Right.

Right.

Ruler of your little fucking gate here.

Said she was a cop.

Said these two had company.

Say, Lou,

Say, say, would you happen to know

Say, Shep, how you doing there?

Says the last guy thought he's a jerk is dead now.

Scotty!

SCOTTY'. Dad.

SCOTTY'. Dad'?

See, I give you a brand new vehicle in advance, and then...

See, I just need the money.

See, Robin was... ls a student of mine.

See, there's a minimum charge of $4.

See, these are personal matters.

See, they install that TruCoat at the factory.

See, this deal I needed him for, I may not need it anymore.

She fought real hard, Marge.

She started shrieking, you know.

She was... She passed away.

She's all right, but there's three people up in Brainerd

Shep didn't tell us much, Jerry.

Shep Proudfoot said...

Shep Proudfoot. That's a name.

Shep said 8:30.

Shep said you'd be here at 7:30. What gives, man?

Shep vouched for you and all.

Shep, what the hell are you doing? I'm banging that girl.

Shit.

Shit.

Shut the fuck up,

Shut the fuck up.

Sir, could I talk to Mr. Gustafson?

Sir, I've not received those vehicle IDs you promised.

Sir, right now?

Sir, you have no call to get snippy with me.

So he went and changed his name to J3L 2404?

So I don't think a whole great deal of it,

So I made that assumption.

So I thought I'd check in with you

So I thought maybe you'd know an alternate number, or what have you.

So I'm not worried. I just...

So I'm tending bar down there at Ecklund and Swedlin's last Tuesday,

So maybe the best thing to do would be
