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]
Greta Grimly[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.
Greta GrimlyDad, 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.
