You... you okay?

Here.

I'm sorry you're so upset.

I'm trying to think what to tell you.

I think if we didn't have

this cultural barrier between us

that we could understand

each other clearly

and this would all make

a lot more sense.

Hey, hey.

Believe me,

I know how important this is to you.

I've never been

to another country before.

I can only imagine how strange

and confusing everything must be.

Kumiko, I want you to know

that I'm going to help you, okay?

I wanna help you get what you need

and where you need to go.

You're not in this alone,

you understand?

I am here to help.

I understand.

I'm not alone.

You help me.

Let me know if there's

a particular style you're going for.

Because to be honest,

I really don't know

what's fashionable or not.

So let me know what you see.

If you find something you like,

I'm sure they'll let you

leave the blanket here.

Let's try this one.

It looks good.

Okay.

Seems it's not too tight.

Okay.

Where's your... right there?

That's where your toe is.

It should be fine.

What'd you do that for?

You said you help me.

Well, yeah, but not like that.

I'm just trying to do my job

and that's all.

You said you'd help me get treasure...

together.

Well, no, you got me all wrong.

I mean, I have a wife and two kids,

I mean, I'm just trying to help you.

And the treasure's not real.

It's just a regular, normal movie,

and that's it.

It's fake, totally fake.

It's not fake!

Wait. Just... will you listen to me?

Let me help you here!

Sh*t.

Oh, come on.

Fargo!

Fargo!

Fargo.

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!
