The "locals" in that movie spoke to each other in the tone level of "disinterested." Clipped answers in a montonous sort of way. For me, that's what made that movie so very funny. And I believe that's what sent Steve Buscemi's character around the bend: Carl Showalter: You ever been to Minneapolis? Gaear Grimsrud: Nope. Carl Showalter: Would it... kill you to say something? Gaear Grimsrud: I did. Carl Showalter: "No." That's the first thing you've said in the last four hours. That's, a fountain of conversation there, buddy. That's a geyser.
