gratuitous FARGO dialogue

                        CARL
             ...  Look at that.  Twin Cities.
             IDS Building, the big glass one.
             Tallest skyscraper in the Midwest.
             After the Sears, uh, Chicago...
             You never been to Minneapolis?

                       GRIMSRUD
             No.

                       CARL
             ...  Would it kill you to say
             something?

                       GRIMSRUD
             I did.

                       CARL
             "No." First thing you've said
             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.

Grimsurd smokes, gazing out the window.

                       CARL
             ...  Well, fuck it, I don't have
             to talk either, man.  See how
             you like it...

He drives.

                       CARL
             ...  Total silence...
