Quote #7
MR. MOHRA: Yah, right-o. Well, so, I'm tendin' bar down there at Ecklund & Swedlund's last Tuesday and this little guy's drinkin' and he says, "So where can a guy find some action? I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake." And I says, "What kinda action?" And he says, "Woman action, what do I look like?" And I says, "Well, what do I look like? I don't arrange that kinda thing." And he says, "But I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake," and I says, "Yah, but this ain't that kinda place."
Not only does Mr. Mohra have a strong Minnesotan accent, but he also expresses the hometown morals of the place. Carl's search for a prostitute shocks Mohra's sense of propriety. Another Minnesotan gem is when the cop and Mohra, bundled up and buried in parkas against the weather, comment that tomorrow, it's gonna get cold.
