Introduction of Jerry Lundegaard's Character

Jerry I'm, uh, Jerry Lundegaard.

Carl You're Jerry Lundegaard?

Jerry Yah. Shep Proudfoot said--

Carl Shep said you'd be here at 7:30. What gives now?

Jerry Shep said 8:30.

[''confused'']

Carl We've been sitting here an hour. He’s peed three times already.

Jerry Ah, I'm terribly sorry. Shep told me 8:30. It was a mix-up, I guess.

Carl You got the car?

Jerry Yah, you bet! It's in the lot there. Brand-new burnt umber ].

[[w:Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera|Ciera]

Carl Yeah, okay, well, sit down then. I'm Carl Showalter and this is my associate Gaear Grimsrud.

[''Jerry takes a seat'']

Jerry Yah, how ya doin'. So, we all set on this thing, then?

Carl 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. So, I guess that's it, then. Here are the keys...

[''smiles at Grimsrud'']

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 ya?

Carl Shep didn't tell us much, Jerry.

Jerry Well, okay...

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 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 pay Paul, it doesn't make any sense.

Jerry Okay, 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--

[''laughs'']

Carl What kinda 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 well off.

Carl So? Why don't you just ask him for the money?

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.

Jerry Lundegaard How ya doin there, Stan? How are ya, Wade?

Stan Grossman Good to see ya again, Jerr'. If these numbers are right, this looks pretty sweet.

Jerry Lundegaard Oh, those numbers are right, all right. Believe me.

Wade Gustafson This is doable.

Stan Grossman Congratulations, Jerry.

Jerry Lundegaard Yah, thanks, Stan, it's a pretty--

Wade Gustafson What kind of finder's fee were you looking for?

Jerry Lundegaard Huh?

Stan Grossman The financials are pretty thorough, so the only thing we don't know is your fee.

Jerry Lundegaard My fee? Wade, what the heck're you talkin about?

Wade Gustafson Stan and I're okay.

Jerry Lundegaard Yah.

Wade Gustafson We're good to loan in.

Jerry Lundegaard Yah.

Wade Gustafson But we never talked about your fee for bringin it to us.

Jerry Lundegaard No, but, Wade, see, I was bringin you this deal for you to loan me the money to put in. It's my deal here, see?

Stan Grossman Jerry, we thought you were bringin us an investment.

Jerry Lundegaard Yah, right.

Stan Grossman You're sayin'... What're you sayin'?

Wade Gustafson You're sayin that we put in all the money and you collect when it pays off?

Jerry Lundegaard No, no. I- I d, pay you back the principal, and interest. Heck, I'd go one over prime?

Stan Grossman We're not a bank, Jerry.

Wade Gustafson What the heck, Jerry, if I wanted bank interest on seven hundred fifty thousand I'd go to ]. Talk to Bill Diehl.

[[w:Midwest Federal Savings & Loan|Midwest Federal]

Stan Grossman He's at Norstar.

Wade Gustafson He's at--

Jerry Lundegaard No, see, I don't need a finder's fee, I need a... finder's fee's, what, ten percent? Heck, that's not gonna do it for me. I need the principal!

Stan Grossman Jerry, we're not just going to give you seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars!

Wade Gustafson What the heck were you thinkin'? Heck, if I'm only gettin bank interest, I'd look for complete security. Heck, FDIC. I don't see nothin like that here.

Jerry Lundegaard Yah, but I... Okay, I would, I'd guarantee ya your money back.

Wade Gustafson I'm not talkin about your damn word, Jerry! Geez, what the heck're you--

Stan Grossman We’re not a bank, Jerry.

Wade Gustafson Well, look, I don't want to cut you out of the loop, but this here's a good deal. I assume, if you're not interested, you won't mind if we move on it. Independently.

Jerry Yah, well...

Wade I thought you were gonna show it to Stan Grossman. He passes on this stuff before it gets kicked up to me.

Jerry Well, you know Stan'll say no dice. That's why you pay him. I'm askin you here, Wade. This could work out real good for me and Jean and Scotty.
