Did You Do This? No, You Did It!

Fargo 2×7

& Hank: Sorry to hear about Otto.
    Floyd: They shot him in his own home. These Kansas City hosenscheisser. Children sleepin' upstairs-- savages.
    Hank: My wife passed last summer... Last thing she said to me-- "Do you smell toast?"
    Floyd: Different roads, same destination.
    Hank: I suppose.

& Floyd: Old-timers had it worse. Used to be 10 born, 2 survived-- consumption, scalpings, smallpox, wolves.

& Floyd: ...Snitch.
    Hank: Well, uh... you said yourself-- hard to be simple in times of complication.

& Milligan: And I appreciate the opportunity... sir, believin', as I do, like the good Dr. King said, "A man should be judged on the content of his character, not the color of his skin."
    Kansas: Yeah, he's dead. You're gonna need a different quote.

& Milligan: "Freedom, that terrible word inscribed upon the chariot of the storm."
    Simone: What?

& Milligan: Now, ironically, in astronomy, the word "revolution" means "a celestial object that comes full circle." Did you know that?.. Which, if you think about it, is pretty funny, considering here on earth it means change.
    Simone: You're nuts.

& Milligan: So... is this a conversation about how it's time for me to pack up and go home?
    Lou: No. Don't have to go home. It's a big country. Just maybe don't be here.

& Milligan: Are you familiar with the phrase "manifest destiny"?
    Lou: Yeah, but see, here's the thing. I own two pairs of shoes-- a summer pair and one for winter. We're not meant to have more than we can handle, is what I mean. So, this need for conquest, you know, tryin' to own things that aren't meant to be owned--
    Milligan: Like people?
    Lou: That's an example. But also places-- believin' we can tame things. That's a problem, right? Not a solution.
    Milligan: You're saying capitalism is a problem?
    Lou: No. Greed. Makin' this thing all or nothin'.

& Milligan: My point is sometimes the answer is so obvious you can't see it because you're looking too hard. See, we can't leave because we're the future, and they're the past. The past can no more become the future than the future can become the past.
    Lou: Okay. We said our piece. Just don't be offended next time if I don't say hello before I shoot.
Ω Epic.

& Bear: It doesn't matter what you mean. It's what you do.

& Lou: Ask Karl about John McCain's thumb screws.
    Betsy: What?
    Lou: Oh, he said to tell you that if John McCain could survive five years in Viet Cong thumb screws, you could beat cancer.

& Floyd: Don't you look at me with those eyes. None of you are mothers.

& Betsy: Tell him, if he needs to get married again, it's okay. Just not Rhonda Knutson. Her eyes are too small. They're too close together or somethin'. It's weird.
    Karl: ....Listen, if John McCain could--
    Betsy: Karl Weathers... don't you be silly now. John McCain was a fighter pilot. I live in a starter house in Minnesota and dream of havin' chickens one day. Just make sure he feeds her more than jerky.
