- Lester Nygaard: You know, I'm not sure what it is that you've had against me since day one. But I am not the person you think I am, this... this kind of monster.
- Molly Solverson: There was a fella once, running for a train. And he's carrying a pair of gloves, this man. He drops a glove on the platform, but he doesn't notice. And then later on, inside the train, he's sitting by the window and he realizes that he's just got this one glove left. But the train's already started pulling out of the station, right? So what does he do?
- [Lester shrugs, shakes his head]
- Molly Solverson: He opens the window and he drops the other glove onto the platform. That way, whoever finds the first glove can just have the pair.
- Lester Nygaard: [confused] So... what are you telling me?
- [pause]
- Molly Solverson: Goodbye, Mr. Nygaard.
- Lester Nygaard: ...Goodbye, Deputy.
- Gus Grimly: Hey there. What's going on?
- Lou Solverson: What do you mean?
- Gus Grimly: Well, I mean, it's 7:00 in the morning, and you're sitting on my front porch with a shotgun.
- [last lines]
- Gus Grimly: Hey, so I got a call today. They're gonna give me a citation for bravery.
- Greta Grimly: You? Come on, you're afraid of spiders.
- Gus Grimly: Buzz Aldrin was afraid of spiders and he went into space.
- Molly Solverson: Proud of you, hon.
- Gus Grimly: They really should be giving it to you.
- Molly Solverson: [shaking her head] No.
- [pauses]
- Molly Solverson: No, this is your deal. I get to be chief.
- Gus Grimly: I figured it out.
- Lorne Malvo: [without looking] Good for you.
- Gus Grimly: Your riddle - shades of green. I figured it out.
- [Malvo looks up, finally recognizing Gus; the two men stare each other down]
- Lorne Malvo: And?
- [Gus shoots Malvo]
- Lester Nygaard: MY WIFE IS DEAD! And there are arrangements to see to. So you can either lock me up or let me go.
- Molly Solverson: [on Lorne Malvo] He's not gonna stop. You know that. A man like that... maybe not even a man.
- Bill Oswalt: I never wanted to be the type to think big thoughts about the nature of things. All I ever wanted was a stack of pancakes and a V-8.
- FBI Agent Pepper: We're awake, right?
- FBI Agent Budge: Who?
- FBI Agent Pepper: Us.
- FBI Agent Budge: You're asking if we're awake? Me and you?
- FBI Agent Pepper: Yeah, I was just- You know sometimes you're in the middle of a dream...
- FBI Agent Budge: Do you say everything that comes to your head?
- FBI Agent Budge: You still think this is a dream?
- FBI Agent Pepper: What?
- FBI Agent Budge: This. Today.
- FBI Agent Pepper: No. What if my whole life has been a dream?
- FBI Agent Budge: Yeah, but whose dream is it?
