Shep Proudfoot Quotes in Fargo (1996)

Marge Gunderson: So, do you remember getting a phone call late Wednesday night?

Shep Proudfoot: [after a short pause] No.

Marge Gunderson: You do reside there at 1425 Freemont Terrace?

Shep Proudfoot: Yes.

Marge Gunderson: Anyone else residing there?

Shep Proudfoot: No.

Marge Gunderson: Well, Mr. Proudfoot, this call came in past three in the morning. It's just hard for me to believe you don't remember anyone calling. Now, I know you've had some problems; struggling with the narcotics, some other entanglements, currently on parole.

Shep Proudfoot: So?

Marge Gunderson: Well, associating with criminals, if you're the one they talked to, that right there would be a violation of your parole; would end you up back in Stillwater. I saw some rough stuff on your priors, but nothing like a homicide. I know you don't wanna be an accessory to something like that.

[after another pause]

Marge Gunderson: So... you think you might remember who those folks were who called ya?

Shep Proudfoot: [to Carl after he inadvertently put a police chief on Shep's trail who's an ex-con] Fuckin' asshole!
