　　Marge drives， gazing out at the road.
　　
　　MARGE AT A DRIVE-THROUGH
　　
　　She leans out of her open window and yells at the order
　　panel:
　　
　　MARGE
　　Hello？
　　
　　MARGE AT THE GUSTAFSON OLDS GARAGE
　　
　　She sits in the lot， eating a breakfast sandwich.
　　
　　JERRY LUNDEGAARD’’S OFFICE
　　
　　Jerry is at his desk using a blunt pencil to enter numbers
　　onto a form. Beneath the form is a piece of carbon paper
　　and beneath that another form copy， which Jerry periodically
　　checks. The carbon-copy form shows thick smudgy， illegible
　　entries.
　　
　　Jerry hums nervously.
　　
　　Glass rattles as someone taps at his door.
　　
　　Jerry looks up and freezes， mouth hanging open， brow knit
　　with worry.
　　
　　Marge sticks her head in the door.
　　
　　MARGE
　　Mr. Lundegaard？ Sorry to bother
　　you again. Can I come in？
　　
　　She starts to enter.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Yah， no， I’’m kinda - I’’m kinda
　　busy -
　　
　　MARGE
　　I unnerstand. 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 -
　　
　　But she is already sitting into the chair opposite with a
　　sigh of relieved weight.
　　
　　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 know， but - well， how do you
　　establish that， sir？ Are the
　　cars， uh， counted daily or what
　　kind of -
　　
　　JERRY
　　Ma’’am， I answered your question.
　　
　　There is a silent beat.
　　
　　MARGE
　　…… I’’m sorry， sir？
　　
　　JERRY
　　Ma’’am， I answered your question.
　　I answered the darn - I’’m
　　cooperating here， and I……
　　
　　MARGE
　　Sir， you have no call to get
　　snippy with me. I’’m just doin’’
　　my job here.
　　
　　JERRY
　　I’’m not， uh， I’’m not arguin’’ here.
　　I’’m cooperating…… There’’s no， uh
　　- we’’re doin’’ all we can……
　　
　　He trails off into silence.
　　
　　MARGE
　　Sir， could I talk to Mr. Gustafson？
　　
　　Jerry stares at her.
　　
　　MARGE
　　…… Mr. Lundegaard？
　　
　　Jerry explodes:
　　
　　JERRY
　　Well， heck， if you wanna， if you
　　wanna play games here! I’’m
　　workin’’ with ya on this thing， but
　　I……
　　
　　He is getting angrily off his feet.
　　
　　JERRY
　　Okay， I’’ll do a damned lot count!
　　
　　MARGE
