Yer Darn Tootin': The "Fargo" Thread

Shut the fuck up! Or I’ll throw you back in the trunk, you know?

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

Smoke a fuckin’ peace pipe, man!

This one will fare better in Café Society, I doth think.

“I got shot in the fuckin’ FACE!”

I just spoke with my manager, and we’re going to throw in the clear coat.

[From memory:] Well, he’s never done this before.

And that’s one of the things that makes this movie what it is; the Cohens treat Marge with humor, affection, and respect. Ebert, I think, called Fargo “a little masterpiece.” As time goes by, I think we can remove the qualifier.

I can’t think of another movie in which a major, pregnant character did not give birth by the end of the film. Marge is still pregnant at the end of Fargo, right?

“I always liked you, Margie.”

“Well, I always-”

“I LIKE YOU SO MUCH!”

I don’t know if I’d call Tommy Lee Jones’ character “weak” or “cowardly;” I simply think he realized he’d reached the limit of his capabilities. He was dealing with a criminal that was beyond his comprehension and thought it best to get out of the game.

I’d love to see how Margie would’ve handled Anton, though.

Tru-Coat! And they put that on at the factory…:smiley:

Ah, hon… Ya got Arby’s all over me.

You should see the other guy.

Yes she was. My favorite Margie quote:

Ooh, I think I’m gonna barf! Well, that passed. And now I’m hungry again.

There’s more to life than a little evil, you know. Don’tcha know that? And here ya are, and it’s a beautiful day.

I always wondered the point of that whole scene with Mike the weirdo. It seemed so random and unrelated to the story.

“Mind if I sit down? I’m carrying quite a load here.”

Paraphrasing:

You think you’re important, standing there in your little uniform with that stupid fucking grin on your face? Well, that’s the limits of your life, man.

I prefer “What have we got here? Arby’s?” A very useful phrase.

Yer not a ‘C’ student. Yet yer gettin’ ‘C’ grades. It’s that disparity that concerns yer Dad and me. You know what ‘disparity’ means?

There was quite a bit of debate about that scene when it came out. From what I remember, two of the conclusions were:
[ol]
[li]It was just a cool scene. Why is there a cowboy narrator in the Big Lebowski, for instance?[/li][li]This scene gives the rationale for Marge going back to interview Jerry again. She was fooled once, she could have been fooled again, by Jerry this time.[/li][/ol]

Go Bears!

Ahhh, what the Christ.

I’ll fax that right over to ya. I mean I’ll send it over, I’ll shoot it right over to ya.

I’m not talkin’ 'bout your damn word, Jerry.

Mac-donald’s, hm. What do ya think they do there? They don’t drink milkshakes, I assure ya.
