Fargo

Am I, uh...

What are we waiting for?

What?

The arrows.

Gayle's putting in the arrows on Reagan.

Yeah, I know, it's... But they said...

Jenny came by the trailer. She said five minutes, so...

Well, there's a lot of arrows.

So...

Should I just go back to my. . . No.

No, it's, uh... Jenny said...

What did Jenny say?

They're... They're putting in the arrows.

Yeah, I know, but how long?

Doll! Just find out, will you?

'Cause the chief is wearing moccasins here.

It's goddamn February.

So, what's he like, anyway? Who?

Dutch, Reagan.

Ronnie? Ah! He's a prince. He's a real class act.

Yeah.

Can I get a blanket?

This is the actual field, they tell me.

What? It's the actual battlefield.

Massacre at Sioux Falls?

I think 300 of your people, braves, died here, what, 100 years ago?

I'm from New Jersey.

Sure, but...

Yeah, you're...

You're an Indian, right?

So that's gotta be, uh...

Gotta be what?

No, I'm just saying.

This battle, you know, was the last big battle before the end of...

And what came after...

Whew, look, I'm a Jew, so believe me, I know tribulation.

Yeah. Smoke?

Any minute, he'll be out.

Right. Nobody moves. Everybody is still dead.

It is a crisis of confidence.

It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul

and spirit of our national will.

We can see this crisis

in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives.

And in the loss of a unity of purpose.

Is he kidding me?

...has been taken out of the home

of John Wayne Gacy and...

The erosion of our confidence in the future...

...is threatening to destroy the social

and the political fabric of America.

That's what I'm trying to engage with here,

is this untapped potential of yours

to sort of think a little bit.

Confidence in the future has supported everything else.

Hey there.

Sorry.

Are you kidding me?

You said noon, yeah?

Are you kidding me?

Now, hold on now...

I said 11:00, not noon. What?

Say that again. Okay.

Say it again.

Okay, okay.

Where's the goddamn money?

Gave it to Ollie, like, yesterday.

Don't lie.

I mean, I'm getting it. It's just a little late.

The hell you say, I did the rounds.

Everybody paid.

Of course they're gonna say that.

So you got the money?

Well, you know, maybe I needed it for me, for something I...

No, you earn for the family, not for yourself.

Yeah.

But you're the oldest and then there's Bear, and that's the throne.

What am I ever gonna be except the kid you send out for milk?

You're a Gerhardt.

That's like Jupiter telling Pluto, "Hey, you're a planet, too."

What?

If I'm this royalty,

how come you got me doing bullshit collections like some nobody chump?

Everybody earns. That's the law.

Yeah, but what if I got ambitions, you know?

You wear short pants till you prove you're a man.

I'm a man.

You're the comic in a piece of bubble gum!

Well, I mean, says you.

You got till tomorrow to bring the collection money you owe.

Or what?

You make me wait for you again, I'll cleave your skull.

This is the month's cash, all in.

You'll see the problem right away.

Light?

Mmm.

About time.

Give me a break.

Soon as you ladies are done dancing...

You're right. We're light.

Even though the transport dollars went up.

It's the local business.

Gambling and drugs. And whores.

Aren't any good at this, huh?

Don't pin this on me.

Or me.

We earned.

- But not Rye. - No.

But even without his nut, we shouldn't be this short.

It's like we're a balloon leaking air all over.

Spit it out.

What are we talking about here?

Tell me, God damn it.

Another outfit.

I'm taking care of it.

From the south. Don't know where.

- I said I'd handle it. - They're coming hard.

Son, I am the iron fist of God.

There's not a sane man in three states who would dare to...

Some pissant crew from south no-place?

You bring me these hirnlose Mutterfotzen

and I'll grind their bones to make my...

Otto?

Otto.

All right? Hear me.

I'm saying tomorrow has never been closer than it is right now.

It's 11:00 in the morning.

Metaphorically, I mean.

Hi, friend.

Be with you in a... Check never came is my point.

I'm owed for work I done. Me and the boys, we're owed.

Giddy-up there, cowboy.

Wait your turn, short round.

What'd you say?

You heard me.

Jesus! Just, uh...

It's in the mail, okay? The check.

Just... If it hasn't come by Tuesday, I'll write you another.

Yeah, that's right. You better run.

Come on now!

He could call a cop!

He's not calling anybody.

Guys like that, they're just big on the outside.

So, where's this miracle contraption?

Behold the future. I'm talking money, hand over fist.

A typewriter.

A self-correcting IBM Selectric Two electric typewriter

with patented high-speed typeball.

They're not just for women anymore.

And you're sure we're the only...

Sole distributor, Midwest region.

Assuming you're willing to forget certain debts owed to your family

from the, uh... Gambling.

Yeah, which, you know, I'm not proud.

So soon as you talk to the judge

and she unfreezes the accounts,

well, then, we can turn on the money spigot.

The what?

The spigot? It's like where you hook up a hose?

Like a fire hose?

Any hose.

I'm saying once we get those typewriters, the money, there'll be no stopping it.

Ah, which judge again?

People of the Earth, can you hear me?

Came a voice from the sky on that magical night

And in the colors of a thousand sunsets

They traveled through the world on a silvery light

You're the comic in a piece of bubble gum!

The people of the Earth stood waiting

Watching as the ships came one by one

Setting fire to the sky as they landed

Carrying to the world children of the sun

Welcome to Waffle Hut!

Shit, lady. Table or booth?

Just, uh, the counter.

Special's tuna melt and fries. Pie's humbleberry.

Just coffee.

Everything's taken care of, I see.

Sugar?

Uh, ma'am, you're freaking me out a little.

So, now he squeezes and the mustard goes all over his shirt.

He didn't have another shirt to wear, so...

I'm gonna pay up now. I'll meet you at the counter.

How was everything?

Real good. Oh, good.

I'll get your change.

There you are. Thank you.

Hi. No.

What do you mean, "No"?

Whatever you're selling, I ain't buying.

First of all, I'm not selling anything.

And second... You need to make me another burger.

This one's a coaster. Yes, ma'am.

Hey. Your Majesty.

You're gonna change your mind about something. A case.

Or what?

Or you'll find out is what.

This isn't one of those optional "check A or B" scenarios.

I'm gonna change your mind.

One day the Devil came to God and said,
