Today is your triumph as much as his. Mother to the First Citizen, you should be happy.
[softly] Hooray.
All my life, I've watched you strive for this moment. Look at you... it's amusing, isn't it? I don't know what i shall do if you give up.

[softly] Hooray.
All my life, I've watched you strive for this moment. Look at you... it's amusing, isn't it? I don't know what i shall do if you give up.
[Atia moves to the head of the women's procession for Augustus' triumph]
Excuse me?
Yes?
Oh, I don't mind really, but it is really I who should go first. If you consult the priests, I'll think you'll find the wife takes precedence.
I don't give a fuck what the priests say. I'll not let a vicious little trollop like you walk ahead of me. I go first.
I take no offense, of course. You are not yourself.
I know who you are. I can see you. You're swearing now that, someday, you'll destroy me. Remember that far better women than you have sworn to do the same. Go look for them now.
[last lines of the series]
(to Caesarion) About your father...
Mister, we're not friends. I mean, maybe we will be someday. But I gotta say, if that were me in your position? I would have killed that man.
Well, now... Come on.
You said he bullied you in high school, right?
Four years. Gave me an ulcer. You know what, one time, he put me in an oil barrel and rolled me in the road.
Seriously? And now he tells you that he had relations with your wife. He bullies you again in front of his children. This is a man who doesn't deserve to draw breath.
Yeah, okay, but, uh - Here's the thing -
No. That is the thing.
Well, heck! I mean, oh, okay.
Okay.
But... What am I supposed to do? Heck, you're so sure about it, maybe you should just kill him for me.
You'll make a good chief one day.
Me? What about Bill? He's got seniority.
Bill cleans his gun with bubble bath. No, it'll be you.
Your problem is you spent your whole life thinking there are rules. There aren't. We used to be gorillas. All we had is what we could take and defend. The truth is, you're more of a man today than you were yesterday.
How do you figure?
It's a red tide, Lester, this life of ours. The shit they make us eat day after day, the boss, the wife, et cetera, wearing us down. If you don't stand up to it, let 'em know you're still an ape deep down where it counts, you're just gonna get washed away.
Evening, Officer.
Evening. License and registration, please.
We could do it that way. You ask me for my papers. I tell you it's not my car, that I borrowed it. See where things go from there. We could do that. Or you could go get in your car and drive away.
Now, why would I do that?
Because some roads you shouldn't go down. Because maps used to say, "there be dragons here." Now they don't. But that don't mean the dragons aren't there.
[tense pause]
[over the radio] Dad. Come in, Dad. Over.
[to Malvo] You step out of the car, please, sir.
How old's your kid?
I said step out of the car.
Dad, come in. Dad, over.
Let me tell you what's gonna happen, Officer Grimly. I'm going to roll my window up, then I'm going to drive away, and you're gonna go home to your daughter, and every few years, you're gonna look at her face and know that you're alive because you chose not to go down a certain road on a certain night. That you chose to walk into the light instead of into the darkness.
So I got two kinds of sandwiches, tuna and turkey. Tuna's for the fish. Unless you think they'd think that's cannibalism.
Well, I'll need to see some ID.
No.
What?
You heard me.
Well, uh--uh, I can't give you your mail, if you don't show ID.
Sure you can. All you gotta do is look through those packages over there, find the one addressed to Duluth, and then hand it to me.
Look, son--we're in Duluth, so technically all the mail is addressed to Duluth.
Am I gonna need to come back there and find it myself?
...sir?
[Malvo stares silently at the postal worker]
...o-okay.
[the postal worker turns and begins looking through the packages]
...
This is highly irregular.
No, highly irregular is the time I found a human foot in a toaster oven. This is just odd.
You're looking at the Supermarket King Of Minnesota, la mercado rey. And it all started right here in this office. Next quarter, we're expanding into Wisconsin and the Dakotas. By this time next year, rule the whole goddamn midwest. You see my mangos? Straight from Ecuador, kiwis too. That's what makes my stores so goddamn superior. I got mangos in goddamn January. And the back of a 90-year-old woman.
This is kind of embarrassing, but, uh, would you sign a copy of my book?
I'd be delighted. You--you want something personal?
Yeah, could you put "To Frank Peterson, thanks for nailing my blackmailer".
Well, you know, sometimes there's more than one right thing.
What does that mean?
It means I got you, and I am responsible for you, and sometimes I might be in a situation where-- and this hasn't happened, and it won't-- but a situation where if I try to stop a guy from doing a bad thing, I could get hurt. Or worse. And then who would take care of you?
But it's your job.
Well, I got two jobs, and the first, the most important, is being your dad.
Well, if I saw somebody doing something, I would stop 'em.
Not sure if you remember, but when you were five, they had to put you under anesthesia to fix your teeth. Gave you that mask.
Hmm. Gas that smelled like tutti frutti.
Yeah. My soft little girl in a hard world of drills and needles.
I'm 31, Dad. I carry a gun.
I know. But it's relative, you know? There's the kind of things a schoolteacher gets exposed to--truancy and the like-- and then there's the stuff a cop sees-- murder and violence and general scofflawery. And then there's the kind of deal you're looking at now.
Which is?
Which is, if I'm right...savagery, pure and simple. Slaughter, hatred. Devils with dead eyes and shark smiles. And one day, you're gonna get married and have kids, and when you look at them, their faces, you need to see what's good in the world, 'cause if you don't, how you gonna live?
You talk a lot, you know that?
It's always been a problem.
Now here I am, stuck in the Yukon with my two mongoloid sons.
Oh, they're not so bad.
I've taken shits I want to live with more than them.
A Zombie kit... shotgun, machete, some Bactine. It's a side business. I make up these knapsacks for the Zombie Apocalypse. You know... in case the dead come back to life and world gets all "dog-eat-dog."
It's already "dog-eat-dog," friend. Not sure what worse a bunch of zombies could do.
