　　all set on this thing， then？
　　
　　YOUNGER MAN
　　Sure， Jerry， we’’re all set. Why
　　wouldn’’t we be？
　　
　　JERRY
　　Yah， no， I’’m sure you are. Shep
　　vouched for you and all. I got
　　every confidence in you fellas.
　　
　　They stare at him. An awkward beat.
　　
　　JERRY
　　…… So I guess that’’s it， then.
　　Here’’s the keys -
　　
　　CARL
　　No， that’’s not it， Jerry.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Huh？
　　
　　CARL
　　The new vehicle， plus forty
　　thousand dollars.
　　
　　JERRY
　　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 -
　　
　　CARL
　　Shep didn’’t tell us much， Jerry.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Well， okay， it’’s -
　　
　　CARL
　　Except that you were gonna be
　　here at 7:30.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Yah， well， that was a mix-up， then.
　　
　　CARL
　　Yeah， you already said that.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Yah. But it’’s not a whole pay-
　　in-advance deal. I give you a
　　brand-new vehicle in advance and -
　　
　　CARL
　　I’’m not gonna debate you， Jerry.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Okay.
　　
　　CARL
　　I’’m not gonna sit here and debate.
　　I will say this though: what Shep
　　told us didn’’t make a whole lot
　　of sense.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Oh， no， it’’s real sound. It’’s
　　all worked out.
　　
　　CARL
　　You want your own wife kidnapped？
　　
　　JERRY
　　Yah.
　　
　　Carl Stares. Jerry looks blankly back.
　　
　　CARL
　　…… You - my point is， you pay
　　the ransom - what eighty thousand
　　bucks？ - I mean， you give us
　　half the ransom， forty thousand，
　　you keep half. It’’s like robbing
　　Peter to play Paul， it doesn’’t
　　make any -
　　
　　JERRY
　　Okay， it’’s - see， it’’s not me
　　payin’’ the ransom. The thing is，
　　my wife， she’’s wealthy - her dad，
　　he’’s real well off. Now， I’’m in
　　a bit of trouble -
　　
　　CARL
　　What kind of trouble are you in，
　　Jerry？
　　
　　JERRY
　　Well， that’’s， that’’s， I’’m not go
　　inta， inta - see， I just need
　　money. Now， her dad’’s real
　　wealthy -
　　
　　CARL
　　So why don’’t you just ask him
　　for the money？
　　
　　Grimsrud， the dour man who has not yet spoken， now softly
　　puts in with a Swedish-accented voice:
　　
　　GRIMSRUD
　　Or your fucking wife， you know.
　　
　　CARL
　　Or your fucking wife， Jerry.
　　
　　JERRY
　　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. See，
　　these’’re personal matters.
　　
　　CARL
　　Personal matters.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Yah. Personal matters that
　　needn’’t， uh -
　　
　　CARL
　　Okay， Jerry. You’’re tasking us
　　to perform this mission， but you，
　　you won’’t， uh， you won’’t - aw，
　　fuck it， let’’s take a look at
　　that Ciera.
　　
　　MINNEAPOLIS SUBURBAN HOUSE
　　
　　Jerry enters through the kitchen door， in a parka and a red
　　plaid Elmer Fudd hat. He stamps snow off his feet. He is
　　carrying a bag of groceries which he deposits on the kitchen
　　counter.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Hon？ Got the growshries.
