  Jerry Lundegaard : [into the phone]  Real good. How are you?

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  Pretty good, Mr. Lundegaard. I must say, you are damn hard to get a hold of over the phone.

  Jerry Lundegaard : Well, we're pretty darn busy here, but that's the way we like it.

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  Well, that's for sure. The reason why I've been trying to reach you is that these last financing documents that you sent over to us... I can't read the serial numbers of the vehicles...

  Jerry Lundegaard : [getting nervous]  Yah, well I already got the money. The loans are in place. I already got the...

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  Yah, the 320 thousand... you got the money last month from us.

  Jerry Lundegaard : So, we're all set then.

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  Yah, but the vehicles that you're borrowing on, I just can't read the serial numbers on your application. Maybe if you could just read...

  Jerry Lundegaard : Yah, but the deal's already done. I've already got the money.

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  Yah, but we have an audit here and I just have to know that these vehicles that your financing with this money that they really exist.

  Jerry Lundegaard : [getting more nervous]  Well... they exist all right.

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  Well, I'm pretty sure they do, but I can't read the serial numbers here. Maybe if you could read the numbers to me on the first...

  Jerry Lundegaard : Yah... well... see... I don't have them in front of me. Why don't I just fax you over a copy?

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  No, no, a fax is no good. That's what I have here and I can't read the darn thing.

  Jerry Lundegaard : Yah, I'll have my girl send you a copy then.

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  Okay, that's good. But I need to tell you that if I can't correlate these numbers with those specific vehicles, then I'm gonna have to call back all that money.

  Jerry Lundegaard : How much money did you say that was?

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  $320,000. I have to correlate that money with the cars that it's being lent on.

  Jerry Lundegaard : Okay, no problem. I'll just fax...

  Reilly Diefenbach : [voice]  No, no...

  Jerry Lundegaard : I mean send it right over. I'll shoot it right over. Good bye.
