Quotes from the Movie
|
| : |
"Yah?" "Yah."--just about every character in the film, at one time or another
"Oh--I just, I think I'm gonna barf."--Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand)
"Geez, you okay, Margie?"--Lou (Bruce Bohne)
"I'm fine--it's just morning sickness....Well, that passed."--Marge
"Yah?"--Lou
"Yah. Now I'm hungry again."--Marge
"Say, Lou, ya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford personalized license plates so he went and changed his name to J2L 4685?"--Marge
"Yah, that's a good one."--Lou
"Okay, so we got a trooper pulls someone over, we got a shooting, these folks drive

"Just keep it still back there, lady, or we're going to have to, you know, shoot you."--Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) |
