Fargo, North Dakota, yes?

Well, but it needs to have some connection, you know, whether there's a character.

I mean, the fourth season took place in Kansas City, but Jesse Buckley's character was from North Dakota, you know?

Gotcha.

And...

You know, this last season with Jon Hamm, you know, he was in North Dakota.

Fifth season.

Yeah.

That's your back end.

Fifth season was Chris Rock.

And anyway, so yeah, so they came to me.

But then, of course, I realized, look, you know, it's great.

I wrote a script that the Coen brothers, you know, when I spoke to them finally, and they said, it's, you know, we hate imitation.

But it was eerie reading this because it felt like you were channeling us, right?

That's a great thing to hear.

That makes my millennia, right?

But then you've got to film it.

And we know that the Coens, they write or rewrite a lot of movies that they don't direct, and those movies never feel like Coen Brothers movies.

So there's something in the cinema, right, that turns those words into that thing.

And I had to figure out what that was.
