Ja-aa? Whenever I watch FARGO I'm astounded by how much of the old country is still there, even though they all speak American. Note: the only real Swede in the cast is Peter Stormare, whose character is named "Gaear Grimsrud" which is in fact about as Norwegian as it gets. I think that's what they call an in-joke. Kudos to the Coens. Note 2: There is no way you will pronounce "Stormare" correctly. Swedish prosody is extremely sophisticated.

"Thank" might not be the right word.
