Excuse me if this has been mentioned before. I just finished watching Fargo
again for the umpteenth time, great film, and always great to watch in the cold
months of winter. Anyway my buddy and I have been trying to figure out a line
of dialogue in the film since we first seen it. In the scene when the two
kidnappers break into Lundiguards home, the wife bites the big guy and runs
upstairs. The big guy then says something which probably is, 'Ointment, I need
ointment.' for his bitten hand. But it sounds more like 'Ungrin, I need
ungren'. What is he really saying? Am I missing something? Anyway thanks for
the answer in advance.

He's saying "unguent." I didn't even know that was a word, until I
watched "Fargo"...

>What is 'Ungrin'?

'Ungrin' is the ointment's brandname.

*Unguent* is an English word that means a soothing or healing salve. Look
it up in a dictionary:

It's "UNGUENT"...not a very esoteric word...Unguent...an ointment or salve.

Jeeez!

Jeeze yourself Johnny. I know what unguent is. I was just asking this guy
if he had managed to read the tube and figured out that it said "Ungrin".
Which would have been funny and have caused me to pop in the tape again.
