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.

CARL
…… Well, fuck it, I don’’t have
to talk either, man. See how
you like it……
He drives.
CARL
…… Total silence……
JERRY’’S CUBICLE
He is on the phone.
JERRY
Yah, real good. How you doin’’?
VOICE
Pretty good, Mr. Lundegaard.
You’’re damned hard to get on the
phone.
JERRY
Yah, it’’s pretty darned busy here,
but that’’s the way we like it.
VOICE
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 -
JERRY
But I already got the, it’’s okay,
the loans are in place, I already
got the, the what, the -
VOICE
Yeah, the three hundred and twenty
thousand dollars, you got the money
last month.
JERRY
Yah, so we’’re all set.
VOICE
Yeah, but the vehicles you were
borrowing on, I just can’’t read
the serial numbers on your
applicaton. Maybe if you could
just read them to me -
JERRY
But the deal’’s already done, I
already got the money -
VOICE
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.
JERRY
Yah, well, they exist all right.
VOICE
I’’m sure they do - ha ha! But
I can’’t read their serial numbers
here. So if you could read me -
JERRY
Well, but see, I don’’t have ’’em
in front a me - why don’’t I just
fax you over a copy -
VOICE
No, fax is no good, that’’s what
I have and I can’’t read the darn
thing -
JERRY
Yah, okay, I’’ll have my girl
send you over a copy, then.
VOICE
Okay, because if I can’’t correlate
this note with the specific vehicles,
then I gotta call back that money -
JERRY
Yah, how much money was that?
VOICE
Three hundred and twenty thousand
dollars. See, I gotta correlate
that money with the cars it’’s being
lent on.
JERRY
Yah, no problem, I’’ll just fax
that over to ya, then.
VOICE
No, no, fax is -
JERRY
I mean send it over. I’’ll shoot
it right over to ya.
VOICE
Okay.
JERRY
Okay, real good, then.
