She walks away. Lester opens a soda, tries to drink, but it
hurts too much. He puts the soda down.
MALVO:
Could I have a sip?
Lester turns. Malvo is looking at him.
LESTER NYGAARD:
Heck, take the whole can. I can’t
drink the darn thing without a
straw.
He hands Malvo the soda. Malvo tips it back and drains it.
Lester tries not to stare at Malvo’s head injury.
MALVO:

LESTER NYGAARD:
Oh, well. That was just -- a
misunderstanding.
MALVO:
Is that you misunderstanding the
other fella, or him
misunderstanding you?
LESTER NYGAARD:
Pardon?
MALVO:
Who misunderstood whom?
LESTER NYGAARD:
No. What I’m saying is -- it’s not
good to dwell on these things.
MALVO:
Why?
LESTER NYGAARD:
Pardon?
MALVO:
Why is not good to dwell on things?

the hospital.

LESTER NYGAARD:

of his children. To send them a
message.
LESTER NYGAARD:

Heck. Just -- heck.
MALVO:
In my experience, you let a man
break your nose, next time he’ll
try to break your spine.
LESTER NYGAARD:
Sam? No way. I mean, I don’t think.
