Fargo_(TV_series) -- "Jew bus"

(Season 1)

Ari Ziskind: This is a community. People watch each other's backs. Someone gets sick, someone dies, you bring a casserole, help.

Lorne Malvo: Maybe I'm here to help.

Ari Ziskind: No, you have black eyes. You're trouble. I'm going inside, and I'm calling the cops.

Lorne Malvo: Which building? The one with the Jew bus outside? <-------

Ari Ziskind: There it is. Now the truth comes out.

Lorne Malvo: You know, some people think you don't need alarms on second-story windows. Think they can save a few bucks, you know, and still be safe. Another way they save money is they don't hook up the alarm to the phone line. So the bell rings, but the cops don't come. Or they come, but only after the neighbors call. Which, um, if this community's tight, as you say, you know just might be quick enough to save your life. Or your children's lives.



I didn't understand what a "Jew bus" was, or was supposed to mean. HH

Thanks. It was prob. a Volvo.

> Season 1 takes place in 2006 in Bemidji, Minnesota

but it sounds like 1960s and 1970s slang.

(What do you call a female Volvo?)

I'll watch the scene again -- The episode is on YouTube, but it's not free.


Searching turned up the unrelated [Jew-Bu], plural [Jew-Bus]


Ari Ziskind seems like a Jewish name. (which I think is a red herring) HH
