What is your absolute favorite line/moment from Fargo?


There's so many great ones to choose from.

I'm not sure why, but mine is when Marge is interrogating Jerry the second time and he has a little outburst and voice crack. "I would know! I'm the executive sales manager!" followed by "We run a pretty tight ship here." Always has me in stitches.

A close second is during the savage beating by Shep when he tosses the buttnaked Buscemi across the room flipping over the couch.

This is probably my favorite too! After years of not seeing the film (watched it last night after a long hiatus), that's one of the scenes that stick with me.

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

And the long stare he gives her before he starts talking. Perfect Macy acting!

Inspired from another good line: Yesterday morning, I was walking in my house barefoot and ran into a hazard, pert'near ripping the nail off of a pinky. First thing I thought of was:

"I need unguent."

... which is spoken by Gaear after Jerry's wife bites his hand during the kidnapping.

I think it's kinda hilarious the way all these Midwesterners are constantly tucking into big fast-food, high-fat meals.

Carl being angry at gaear for not talking on the way into the twin cities. And the other scene with them in the car and gaear wants to go to "pancake house," along with most of the ones already said on here(and most of the movie also).

reply

Gaear doesn't talk which makes Carl's line "I've been listening to your bullshit all week!" all the funnier.

"'So you think I'm some kinda crazy jerk for askin'!' only he doesn't use the word 'jerk'. And then he calls me a jerk, and says that the last guy who thought he was a jerk is dead now."

"You were such a super lady... and I'm... I'm so lonely"

"I got shot... I got shot in the face-sch!"

We're not a bank Jerry!

When Jerry is rehearsing what he's going to say to his father-in-law about Jean's kidnapping. Too funny.

The irate customer in the dealership mimicking Macy's BS on the phone.."c'mon down and get it!.."
