Lou: There's a look a boy gets when he's been shot or a landmine takes off his legs. And he's laying there in the mud, trying to get up. 'Cuz he doesn't feel it yet. His brain hasn't caught up with the reality which is, he's already dead
Peggy: Ed... he's scaring me.
Lou: But we see it. The rest of us. And we lie. We say, "Lay still. You're gonna be fine." If you'd been to war, you'd know the look. See, you and Peggy... you got the look. You still think it's Tuesday. You have no idea what's coming.

Joe Bulo says hi.

Mike Milligan [to Otto]

Floyd: Maybe when you look at me, you see an old woman. And I am sixty-one. I've borne six children, had three miscarriages. Two of my sons are here today. Two were stillborn. My firstborn, Ellron, killed in Korea. Gook sniper took off half his head. The point is: don't assume just because I'm an old woman that my back is weak and my stomach's not strong. I make this counter because a deal is always better than war. But no mistake. We'll fight to keep what's ours till the last man.

Simone: Y'know what depresses me? I missed the sixties. Free love. Drop acid. Woodstock. Wake up one day, decide you wanna call yourself Flower Rainblossom, you just call yourself Flower Rainblossom.
Mike: Yeah but the seventies were always coming like a... hangover. And you know what happened to Flower Rainblossom? She's on methadone in Bismarck. Turning tricks for breakfast meat.
Simone: I know, but at least I would've had fun. Be free. Like how you get to dream before you wake up.

Sonny: Listen I was in 'Nam, ya? Up there they called me Mad-dog. So you just-- you, uh, watch your--
Hanzee: Do you miss it?
Sonny: What?
Hanzee: The country. Y'know, the wet, the heat, the bugs. Do you miss it?
Sonny: God, no.
Hanzee: It's this quiet I can't get used to. This... frozen winter.
Sonny: Yeah, well... can't argue with you.
Hanzee: Did you work the tunnels? "Send the inyun," they'd say. "Who cares about booby traps? Give Hanzee a flashlight and a knife and send him down into the black echo." Moving through the earth like a rat. Killin' off Charlie, takin' his ears.
Sonny: Ears?
Hanzee: You gotta push their faces down in the earth so they don't scream and wake the others.

Betsy: Am I getting the real drug or the fake drug?
Doctor: That I can't say. Shall I sign ya up?

Dodd: Gimme a chocolate glaze and--
Charlie: And an old-fashioned.
Dodd: An old--? An old-fashioned. [to injured man] C'mon, get some zip in ya. [cattle prods the man; to donut shop worker] It's on them.

We own all the judges, what'd be the point of killin' one?

Dodd

Lou: Visitors?
Stranger: From above. Some say they take you to their ship and probe you in places you don't want to mention. I believe their purposes are more benevolent. As the caretaker to the zoo. When strange happenings occur, they are near.
Lou: Strange happenings, huh? I wondered what was causing that.

Mike: So, where'd you say you saw old Skip?
Lou: At your mother's house. I think going in the back door.
Mike: [to the Kitchen brothers] I like him. [to Lou] I like you.

Lou: Say, you wouldn't by any chance be Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers, would ya?
Mike: You make us sound like a prog-rock band. "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers."

Am I the only one here who's clear on the concept of law enforcement?

Lou

Fargo Season 2 Quotes

Rye: Well, you know, maybe I needed it for me. For something I--
Dodd: No, you earn for the family, not for yourself.
Rye: Yeah but you're the oldest, and then there's Bear, and that's the throne. What am I ever gonna be except the kid you send out for milk?
Dodd: You're a Gerhardt.
Rye: That's like Jupiter telling Pluto, "Hey, you're a planet, too."

Crew member: This is the actual field, they tell me.
Native American extra: What?
Crew member: This is the actual battlefield. Massacre at Sioux Falls. I think three hundred of your people -- braves -- died here, what, a hundred years ago?
Native American: I'm from New Jersey.
Crew member: Sure but... yeah, you're an Indian, right? So... that's gotta be, uh...
Native American: Gotta be what?
Crew member: No, I'm just saying, this battle... was the last big battle before the end of the-- Then what came after... Look, I'm a Jew so believe me I know tribulation.
