    Marge's pregnancy is probably about how far along?I.Emma Movielover's 'Fargo' Quiz!

    Just before Carl smashes the window to kidnap Jean, the morning show hosts on TV are discussing what?I.Emma Movielover's 'Fargo' Quiz!

      Empty chicken eggs.

    According to the film's final lines of dialogue, how much longer will it be before Marge Gunderson gives birth?"Fargo": You're Darn Tootin'!

      two months. Both Marge and her husband Norm wistfully say "Two more months" at the very end of the film.

    All told, how many people are killed in this film?"Fargo": You're Darn Tootin'!

      7 . Carl's partner, Gaeor Grimsrud, kills the state trooper, and then the two innocent spectators in Brainerd. That's three. Carl kills Wade, and then the parking lot attendant on his way out. That makes five. When Carl gets back to the hideout, he learns that Grimsrud has killed Jeanie Lundegaard. That's six. Finally, Grimsrud kills Carl, dismembers him, and grinds up as much of him as he can in the wood chipper. That's a total of seven murders.

    One of the paintings submitted by Marge's husband Norm wins a contest. Norm's painting of what animal will be appearing on the three-cent stamp in the near future, according to Norm's own dialogue?"Fargo": You're Darn Tootin'!

      a duck. Specifically, it's Norm's painting of a mallard duck that wins the honor.

    Jerry originally tells Carl Showalter that he and his partner will receive $40,000 for their part in the kidnapping. How much money is Carl actually handed at the pick-up that results in his being shot in the face?"Fargo": You're Darn Tootin'!

      $1,000,000. Wade Gustafson, Jerry's father-in-law, brings one million dollars to the drop-off. After killing Wade and grabbing the bag of money, Carl extracts $80,000 to show his partner, but buries the rest in the snow along a desolate highway, ostensibly so he can go back later and grab the remaining $920,000 for himself. I think it's pretty clear that no one will ever find that money...and not just because the guy who buried it is dead by the end of the film.

    At which hotel chain does Marge Gunderson stay during the bulk of her investigation?"Fargo": You're Darn Tootin'!

      Radisson. Marge seems pleased with the Radisson, as does her creepy friend Mike from high school, who praises the hotel bar by saying, "Well, it's a Radisson, so you know it's gonna be good."

    At one point in the film, Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) brings a hired escort to see a live concert. Who is the featured performer?"Fargo": You're Darn Tootin'!

      Jose Feliciano. Carl seems to be a fan of Feliciano, who appears as himself in this scene. The hired escort doesn't look too impressed.

    A very pregnant Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) is shown eating quite a few hearty meals in this film. Which fast food chain's cuisine do we NOT see her sampling?"Fargo": You're Darn Tootin'!

      McDonald's. Scotty Lundegaard runs off to McDonald's at one point, but we never see Marge eat anything from the Golden Arches. Her husband Norm brings her an Arby's lunch early on, and later in the film, we see her ordering food at the Hardee's drive-through.
