So, I’m tendin’ bar there at Ecklund and Swedlin’s last Tuesday, and this little guy’s drinkin’ and he says, “So where can a guy find some action? I’m goin’ crazy out there at the lake.” And I says, “What kinda action?” and he says, “Woman action, what do I look like?” And I says, “Well, what do I look like, I don’t arrange that kinda thing,” and he says, “I’m goin’ crazy out there at the lake,” and I says, “Well, this ain’t that kinda place.” So he says, “So I get it, so you think I’m some kinda jerk for askin’,” only he doesn’t use the word “jerk.” And then he calls me a jerk, and says the last guy who thought he was a jerk was dead now. So I don’t say nothin’ and he says, “What do ya think about that?” So I says, “Well, that don’t sound like too good a deal for him, then.” ---

“Well, the little guy was kinda funny-lookin’.” “In what way?” “I dunno… just funny-lookin’.” “Can you be any more specific?” “I couldn’t really say… He wasn’t circumcised.” ---

And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little money, you know.

Sorry to get all serious, but… Marge seems like such a silly character, in “Fargo,” while Tommy Lee Jones seems like a tough, cool, competent lawman in “No Country For Old Men.” But when things get dangerous, and a cold, heartless, psycho killer is on the loose in a previously safe, idyllic small town… Marge comes through with flying colors and Tommy Lee turns out to be a weak, cowardly old man. I lay odds that if Anton Chigurh had shown his face in Minnesota, Marge would’ve shot it off. ---
