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?

[Wade and Stan laugh]

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 Midwest Federal. Talk to Bill Diehl.

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.
