Fargo

Lou: This is a true story.

The events depicted took place in Minnesota,

North and South Dakota in 1979.

At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed.

Out of respect for the dead...

the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.

Noreen: Feeling better, then?

Mm.

Doc says you had a reaction to those pills they gave ya.

Told them they were supposed to kill the cancer,

but he says the pills may kill you first.

Hmm.

Is Lou back?

No.

And no word, either.

Something to eat?

Oh, god, no.

My dad?

Same... no word.

And Molly?

Tried to put her in her own bed,

but she wouldn't go... Stubborn.

Yeah.

She gets that from her dad.

Ohh!

If you're not gonna eat, doc says sleep.

Get your strength back.

Mm.

So, you stay lyin' down, you,

and it's okay.

I'll be right here.

Betsy: That night, I had a dream.

Next week, we'll discuss economic concepts...

Betsy: It felt so real... And about critical-thinking skills.

Even though i knew it couldn't be

or wasn't yet.

Teacher: Yes, Molly.

I dreamt of a magical future filled with wondrous devices

where everything you could ever want

would be available in one amazing place.

Oh.

All right.

Okay. Here we go.

Ready? Mm-hmm.

Just one more.

Betsy: And there was happiness there.

But then, i saw farther still...

Years, decades into the future.

All right.

- I saw a handsome older man... - Lou:

his back still straight,

Molly: Blow.

Visited by his children

and grandchildren... There you go!

People of accomplishment...

Man: Yay!

Of contentment.

But then...

I saw... Chaos...

The fracture of peace

and enlightenment.

And I worried...

that the future I'd seen...

magical and filled with light...

Yeah.

Might never come to pass.

Hank: Go.

I can make it.

Dinner Sunday?

I'll be there... In a suit of armor.

Ed: Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Mister.

What's the trouble, young fella?

Hey, mister, we need a ride.

Ed!

Peggy: Come on!

People of earth...

I'm home.

Peggy: Come on, now.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. You're gonna be okay.

Just a little further. Look.

Come on.

Get out of here. Sweet Christmas.

Get out of here! Go on. Get out of here!

There's a bad man coming!

Okay, I'm gonna... I'm gonna use the phone,

and I'm gonna call...

Hon, come on. Let's go. Come on.

Come on.

Ohh! don't! Don't!

You were supposed to watch 'em... Ed and Peggy.

Come on.

Yeah, it'll work in here.

I don't know, Ed.

We can lock it from the inside,

hide out till we're... Till we're rescued.

World war III out there, in case you didn't notice.

You okay there?

Don't start.

She blindsided me, okay?

Pack of wolves at the door.

I didn't think the bitch...

Didn't think she'd be dumb enough to sucker me.

Only one way he coulda gone... hanzee.

Huh? And your feeling is we go the same way

instead of home to bed.

Yeah. In a hurry.

Fubar, yeah?

Fubar.

We got to lock it.

Here.

Come on. Come on.

Sit down.

You can do it. Come on.

Just sit here.

Come here.

Sorry.

I gotta...

It's bad.

Hold on.

Let me just see how bad it is.

Okay.

You're gonna be okay.

Peg, I don't think we're gonna make it.

Ohh.

Don't you say that, Ed blumquist.

We come this far.

We're gonna go all the way. No, I'm saying...

Even if we get out of this,

I don't think we're gonna make it...

You and me.

What are you saying? We're just too different.

Don't say that.

This... wh-what we've been through... adversity.

That's what... that's what seals the bond,

makes us stronger.

Peg. Like... like... like how a bone heals.

Peg. No, no.

I-i know i had my doubts.

I know, but I'm... I'm sure now. Peg.

I'm sure. Will you just let me talk?

You're always trying to fix everything,

but sometimes nothing's broken.

Everything's working just fine.

If you can't see that, if you don't know that...

Ed. I love ya.

I do.

All I'm ever gonna want is to get back to what we had.

Hello.

Gale...

Be reasonable.

From this moment forward,

I decree no more schnitzel or strudel.

Let's get some American food up in this.

Everyone's dead.

Unh-unh.

Forget something?

Ricky:

Well... You caught me.

I thought nobody was home.

We're here.

Remind me which one you are again.

The kid Otto had with the maid?

You see the shotgun, right?

You couldn't afford a real one?

Times are tough, friend-o.

Hey, why do you think I'm stealing the silver?

Hey, maybe...

In the spirit of, uh...

Human struggle...

We say bygones...

You let me get back in my car and drive away.

Do you know what the definition of the word "sovereignty" is?

What am I?

The professor from "gilligan's island"?

Sovereignty is absolute power and authority.

Like a king?

Exactly.

Which is who I am...

Your king.

Uh...

It's America, brother.

We don't do kings.

Oh, we do.
