[Jerry answers the phone]

Jerry Lundegaard.

Carl

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

Jerry

Well, yeah.

Carl

Know who this is?

Jerry

Well, yeah, I got an idea. How's that Ciera workin' out for ya?

Carl

Circumstances have changed, Jerry.

Jerry

Well, what do ya mean?

Carl

Things have changed. Circumstances, Jerry. Beyond the, uh, acts of God, force majeure--

Jerry

What the--how's Jean?

Carl

Who's Jean?

Jerry

My wife! What the--how's--

Carl

Oh, Jean's okay, but there's three people up in Brainerd who aren't so okay, I'll tell ya that.

Jerry

What the heck are you talkin' about? Let's just finish up this deal here--

Carl

Blood has been shed, Jerry.

Jerry

What the heck ya mean?

Carl

Three people. In Brainerd.

Jerry

Oh, geez.

Carl

That's right and we need more money.

Jerry

The heck do ya mean? What a you fellas get yourself mixed up in?

Carl

We need more--

Jerry

This was s'posed to be a no-rough-stuff-type deal--

Carl

Don't ever interrupt me Jerry, just shut the **** up!

Jerry

Well, I'm sorry, but I just--I--

Carl

Look, I'm not gonna debate you, Jerry. The price is now the whole amount. We want the entire eighty thousand.

Jerry

Oh, for Christ sakes here--

Carl

Blood has been shed. We've incurred risks, Jerry. I'm coming into town tomorrow. Have the money ready.

Jerry

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

Carl

Is it, Jerry? Why don't you ask those three poor souls in Brainerd if a deal's a deal. Go ahead, ask them!

Jerry

The heck do ya mean?

Carl Showalter

[mimicking]

"The heck ya mean?" I'll see you tomorrow.
