About This Quote

This quote from the movie "Fargo" is a perfect example of how a simple, well-placed word can make all the difference. In this case, it's the word "scary," which is used to describe a man who is surrounded by poetry readings and doesn't even know it. Everyone else in the film could tell he was a bumbling idiot, but it turns out he was both a bumbling idiot and a genius. It all comes down to the power of a good word.
