      Roger Ebert - Host: "Fargo" is the best movie the Coen Brothers have ever made: A quirky, infectious American masterpiece.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Well, you know, last year, back in January, I said I didn't expect to see a better film all year than "Crumb".

      Roger Ebert - Host: Yeah.

      Gene Siskel - Host: And I didn't. It was a real good call; even you put it second on your list.

      Roger Ebert - Host: Yeah.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Well, I'm gonna make the same call here now in March.

      Roger Ebert - Host: Okay.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Because there won't be a better film than this. I mean, you called it a masterpiece, I'll go out on a limb and say that, too. And I wanna go even further and say this: That the Coen Brothers now, if you look at "Blood Simple", "Raising Arizona", and "Barton Fink"... these guys are creating one fantastic, original piece of work every single time.

      Roger Ebert - Host: Mm-hmm.

      Gene Siskel - Host: These guys deserve to be known with some of the finest directors that have worked in motion pictures. And there isn't a, a dull moment here, there isn't an unoriginal moment. They have a very precise way of dialogue that is accurate. It IS the way people talk. As well as the speech pattern of "ey, ey, yeah, yeah." and all that. They've got the words right, too.

      Roger Ebert - Host: They have the words exactly right. You know what I liked, too, was the stylistic freedom they gave themselves. This is a very violent movie.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Yes.

      Roger Ebert - Host: It's a very funny movie. At the end, there's some poetry and some whimsy...

      Gene Siskel - Host: Oh, it's...

      Roger Ebert - Host: There's stuff in this movie about the minutia of the routine, of a long marriage.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Yes, yes.

      Roger Ebert - Host: There is stuff about two partners that don't get along.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Father and son- father-in-law and son-in-law!

      Roger Ebert - Host: Oh, that's fabulous.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Oh my gosh!

      Roger Ebert - Host: And what about the son, who goes off to McDonald's, gets up from the dinner table?

      Gene Siskel - Host: Oh, but listen...

      Roger Ebert - Host: There's just one detail after another. Yeah.

      Gene Siskel - Host: They even have the accountant assistant to the big boss, I mean, that's very clever writing there. Y'know, a family business and there's the loyal helper there...

      Roger Ebert - Host: Yeah.

      Gene Siskel - Host: ...Who hates the son-in-law.

      Roger Ebert - Host: This movie has one...

      Gene Siskel - Host: It's a great...

      Roger Ebert - Host: ...Treasure in it after another!

      Gene Siskel - Host: ...A great American movie.
