A scene from Fargo 1996
Marge

Mr. Lundegaard? Sorry to bother you again. Can I come in?

Jerry

Yah, no, I'm kinda--I'm kinda busy here.

Marge

I understand. I'll keep it real short, then. I'm on my way out of town, but I was just--Do you mind if I sit down? I'm carrying a bit of a load here.

Jerry

No, I--

Marge

Yah, it's this vehicle I asked you about yesterday. I was just wondering--

Jerry

Yah, like I told ya, we haven't had any vehicles go missing.

Marge

Okay, are you sure, cause, I mean, how do you know? Because, see, the crime I'm investigating, the perpetrators were driving a car with dealer plates. And they called someone who works here, so it'd be quite a coincidence if they weren't, ya know, 'connected'.

Jerry

Yah, I see.

Marge

So how do you--have you done any kind of inventory recently?

Jerry

The car's not from our lot, ma'am.

Marge

But do you know that for sure without--

Jerry

Well, I would know. I'm the Executive Sales Manager!

Marge

Yah, but--

Jerry

We run a pretty tight ship here.

Marge

I understand. Do you do a count, or what kind of a routine do you have here?

Jerry

Ma'am, I answered your question!

Marge

[Pause]

I'm sorry, sir?

Jerry

Ma'am, I answered your question. I answered the darned--I'm cooperatin' here! And, I--

Marge

Sir, you have no call to get snippy with me, I'm just doing my job here.

Jerry

I'm... I'm not arguing here! I'm cooperating. So there's no need to--we're doin' all we can here.

Marge

Sir, could I talk to Mr. Gustafson?

Marge

[Jerry stares at her]

Mr. Lundegaard?

Jerry

Well, heck, if you wanna--if you wanna play games here! I'm workin' with ya on this thing, but I--Okay, I'll do a damned lot count!

Marge

Sir? Right now?

Jerry

[Jerry puts on his coat and hat]

Yeah, right now, you're darned tootin'! If it's so damned imporant to ya!

Marge

Well, I'm sorry sir.

Jerry

Ah, what the Christ!

Marge

[Jerry leaves, then is seen driving away]

Oh for Pete's sake, he's fleeing the interview! He's fleeing the interview!
