‘Let’s keep still back there, lady, or we’re gonna have to– y’know, to shoot ya.’
‘No.’ First thing you’ve said in the last four hours. That’s a, that’s a fountain of conversation, man. That’s a geyser. I mean, whoa, daddy, stand back, man. Shit, I’m sittin’ here driving, man, doin’ all the driving, whole fuckin’ way from Brainerd, drivin’, tryin’ to, you know, tryin’ to chat, keep our spirits up, fight the boredom of the road, and you can’t say one fucking thing just in the way of conversation.

1)I thought you were gonna show it to Stan Grossman. He passes on this stuff before it gets kicked up to me. 2) Well, you know Stan’ll say no dice. That’s why you pay him. I’m asking you here, Wade. This
could work out real good for me and Jean and Scotty – 1)Jean and Scotty never have to worry.
1)I’m talkin’ about your potential. 2)Uh-huh. 1)You’re not a C student. 2)Uhn. 1)And yet you’re gettin’ C grades. It’s this disparity there that concerns your dad and me. 2) Uh-huh. 1)You know what a disparity is? 2)Yeah! 1)Okay. Well, that’s why we don’twant ya goin’ out fer hockey.
1)No kiddin’! I’d need the cash pretty quick there. In order to close the deal. 2)Come by at 2:30 and we’ll talk about it. If your numbers are right, Stan says its pretty sweet.
1)No, that’s not it, Jerry. 2)Huh? 1)The new vehicle, plus forty thousand dollars. 2)Yah, but the deal was, the car first, see, then the forty thousand, like as if it was the ransom. I thought Shep told you – 1)Shep didn’t tell us much, Jerry.

Now, her dad’s real wealthy – 2)So why don’t you just ask him for the money? 3)Or your fucking wife. 2)Or your fucking wife, Jerry. 1)Well, it’s all just part of this – they don’t know I need it, see. Okay, so there’s that. And even if they did, I wouldn’t get it. So there’s that on top, then.

But it’s not a whole pay-in- advance deal. I give you a brand-new vehicle in advance and – 1)I’m not gonna debate you, Jerry. 2)Okay. 1)I’m not gonna sit here and debate.

1)We sat here right in this room and went over this and over this! 2)Yah, but that TruCoat – 1)I sat right here and said I didn’t want no TruCoat! 2)Yah, but I’m sayin’, that TruCoat, you don’t get it and you get oxidization problems. It’ll cost you a heck of lot more’n five hundred – 1)You’re sittin’ here, you’re talkin’ in circles! You’re talkin’ like we didn’t go over this already! 2)Yah, but this TruCoat – 1)We had us a deal here for nineteen-five.

1)Yah, real good. How you doin’? 2)Pretty good, Mr. Lundegaard. You’re hard to get on the phone. 1)Yah, it’s pretty darned busy here, but that’s the way we like it. 2)That’s for sure. Now, I just need, on these last, these financing documents you sent us, I can’t read the serial numbers of the vehicles on here, so I – 1)But I already got the, it’s okay, the loans are in place, I already got the, the what, the – 2)Yeah, the three hundred and twenty thousand dollars, you got the money last month. 1)Yah, so we’re all set. 2)Yeah, but the vehicles you were borrowing on, I just can’t read the serial numbers on your application. Maybe if you could just read them to me –
1)But the deal’s already done, I already got the money – 2)Yeah, but we have an audit here, I just have to know that these vehicles you’re financing with this money, that they really exist. 1)Yah, well, they exist all right. 2)I’m sure they do.

So if you could read me – 1)Well, but see, I don’t have ’em in front a me – why don’t I just fax you over a copy – 2)No, fax is no good, that’s what I have and I can’t read the darn thing – 1)Yah, okay, I’ll have my girl send you over a copy, then. 2)Okay, because if I can’t correlate this note with the specific vehicles, then I gotta call back that money – 1)Yah, how much money was that? 2)Three hundred and twenty thousand. 1)Yah, no problem, I’ll just fax that over to ya, then. 2)No, no, fax is – 1)I mean send it over.
