Marge and Norm: Fargo Love Story (Supercut) 

I am soooooooooo grateful to you for posting this! I feel exactly the same way about Marge and Norm. I LOVE that first scene where they're having breakfast and Marge has to leave, and while we see her go out the door, we're also seeing Norm doing exactly what you'd expect him to be doing - sitting there finishing his breakfast in the cozy kitchen on a cold winter morning. It's just so true to life - I LOVE it! But that applies to all their scenes; they're such a natural, believable couple. THANKS SO MUCH!!

What I love most is how Norm is so completely unintimidated by her. His wife the police chief with all these guy’s running around answering to her and Norm never tries to steal her limelight; he’s just spending time with her, making sure she’s getting enough to eat with a busy case going on. So rare and beautiful to see

It's funny how every cop knows exactly what Norm is up to that day.

I always thought that this was the best representation of a loving marriage ever put to screen.

Their child must have been so lucky to have them as parents. Such lovely characters

I love that she just solved a case and she's praising him on his accomplishment with the 3 cent stamp. They support each other so well and their scenes are so peaceful compared to everything else. Relationship goals all the way.

I always tear up when she says "Heck Norm, ya know we're doing pretty good."

I love how the closest thing to conflict that they ever have is when they insist on being kind to the other. Norm insisting on making her breakfast even though she says he can keep sleeping, or Marge praising his skill/achievements as a painter when he tries to be modest. Heck, they're doing pretty good!

Fargo, a grizzly tale of murder, kidnapping… and the sweetest couple in film history.

“There’s more to life than just money” Norm and Marge are evidence of that

This is actually sweeter, more genuine and more moving than all the passionate-kissing scenes I've ever seen.

I love that their relationship has absolutely no character arc - their relationship is no different at the end as it was at the start - and that is just perfect.

I love them. They have a simple modest life yet are so full of love and kindness and happiness, compared to others in the film who are so obsessed with money...

normally when this type of couple is shown on screen, it's in a condescending way. people depict these type of couples as loveless and dull. but even though their romance is "ordinary", it's still so full of love that they enjoy every 'boring' minute with each other.

I already thought it was touching enough when Norm woke up to make sure Marge had breakfast. When I realized Marge was pregnant, I’m even more touched

My favorite scene is when the camera shows her going out to the patrol car and coming back while he is eating. It shows the warmth and coziness of home.

Through most of my childhood my parents didn’t have a great relationship (a lot of fighting, slamming doors, name-calling, bad-mouthing, grudges, etc). It was my only model for how a husband/wife behave. I saw this movie when I was about twelve, and I still remember how much Marge and Norm’s relationship impacted me. “That’s what I want someday” I decided. At 34 I’m happily married and it looks like this: loving, sensual, calm, reliable, cozy… ❤❤❤

I just love that first scene of them. Marge wanting to let Norm sleep, but Norm insisting that he'll get up and make her eggs, the back and forth of doing the other a kindness is just so heartwarming. "You GOTTA eat a breakfast Margie" meaning he wants both her AND their baby to be well fed and ready for the morning.

As a younger man I laughed at these two as a older man I envy them

"Whenever they raise the postage, people need the little stamps." "Yeah?" "When they're stuck with a bunch of the old ones!" "Yeah." Pure romance. :)

Love how he knew she wasn't gonna eat the eggs and he'd get to eat them haha. THIS is what relationships are all about lol. The gesture.

Frances McDormand was just so damn cute in this film. Darn tootin' she was.

Marge and Norm's relationship in Fargo reminds me so much of my own parents. Especially since my mom was pregnant with me and my brother in 1996, the year this film came out. The both of them saying "just two more months" at the very end of the film is pretty much how my parents felt as well.

This has equal yet opposite energy to Morticia and Gomez. Both are absolutely devoted couples who cherish each other and content to be cherished, Marge and Norm are just the quiet content types while Morticia and Gomez love to party. I feel like they'd be a fun crossover.

'Oh yah, looks pretty good!' shot of squirming earthworms.

I think this film is really about love and family. We see the destruction of Jerry’s family because he had very little love/care for his. Then, at the end of the film, we see the beginning of Marge’s family because they are filled with love.

They do everything together. Notice how they even walk side by side to the table in the buffet restaurant.

Is this the one truly happy couple in a Coen Brothers movie? Like not even a hint of problems.

It's a joy to even watch this lovely lady consume loads of food throughout the movie, ya?

I'm only 24 and just watched this movie for the 1st time the other day, and I hope someday I get to marry a lady like her. Such a wholesome couple!

The Coen brothers were so genius to place a perfect couple in the middle of this mess. Perhaps that's the main message of the movie. One screwed up marriage, full of greed, and driven by money which provoked a real bloodshed; on the other hand you have a simple couple, full of simplicity, hard work, and pure love.

Little did margie know she was married to the zodiac killer.

I'm off today but my hun has to go to work. Fixed her some eggs and I thought of this clip. Thanks for posting.

her face when he kisses her cheek.

Loved the portrayal of this couple's marriage in this movie, one of the best ever.

"Ya gotta eat a breakfast"- proceeds to make an appetite ruining noise- "I'll fix you some eggs" In all seriousness, I love this, the love between these two....it's what holds this movie together among the grim atmosphere and the violence.

I love the morning scene most. It’s so wholesome and feels real, like a cold Winter morning when I was a kid and my mother would make me breakfast before I went to wait for the bus in the freezing cold, dark morning. Just comforting. Additionally, love Marge and Norm’s relationship!!

The scenes between Marge and Norm are so relaxing and comforting. The ultimate relationship goal.

The cut scene of them walking to their table to eat together has sentimental value to me. Not sure if it strikes you but it’s a nice thing to see among a happy married couple like that.

There will never be anything as romantic as “ahh you’re getting Arby’s all over me” and I’m not even kidding.

When someone asks me what I'm looking for in a relationship, I show them this.

I was working as a security guard while I was expecting my older daughter, and they didn’t have maternity uniforms in those days, so I used to tell people that I looked like Margie in “Fargo” during my pregnancy. They FINALLY came out with maternity uniform shirts when I was expecting my younger daughter (I’d already hung up the gun belt after our older daughter was born) and my immediate reaction was, “Where the hell were those when I needed them five years ago?!?!”

What I love about the scenes with Norm and Marge that with all the craziness and violence that goes on the with in the film, Norm and Marge offer a safe haven and warmth.

What a lucky couple.I'd love to find a relationship as naturally beautiful as these two have.What a down to Earth loving & caring thing they have.Norm is a great guy & Margie is a lovely woman.They're just so warm & cosy together.Bless 'em!

Marriage goals for real ❤❤. Definitely one of my favorite movie couples.

1:54 I love the little smile she gives him after their little back-and-forth. She's just thinking "Ah, Norm, ya love me too much."

Last scene has me fucking sobbing at the way she reassured him. Easily the most pure and honest expression of love I’ve ever seen; I won’t lie it physically hurt, but in a good way

The small details such as the honey bear on the table shows how far they went to be "very Minnesotan".

Norm rules.

To me, this was the real story. They’re simple and decent and that’s what separates them from the miserable criminals.

I just watched this movie for the first time a week ago and enjoyed the simplicity of their relationship.

Is there any sound more jarring and unnerving than an old fashioned phone ringing in the middle of the night?

These two aren't exactly loaded, but they have a good home and a loving relationship. All the other main characters are miserable and greedy.

Norm's 'Yeah after lunch' line at 6:55 must be one of the best delivered lines in cinema history X'D

Norm is a real man. Totally secure in himself. Totally trustworthy. I love the scenes of these two.

It's so hard getting up in a cold climate, I haven't been in one for almost 5 years I wake up no problem and rock and roll all day.

So comfortable in their Fargo world; they talk about open case investigations at the local buffet.

got so hungry watching this

One of the sweetest onscreen couples ever.

I love how these enjoy their quality time together especially during her lunch time

Love the genius single camera angle of the breakfast table & door. The photography and editing in this film is master-level. Newer generation of attention-deficit editors would have spliced 100 split-second images of the breakfast food, closeup of the mouth eating, switching from face to face, shoveling food into mouth, which will make anyone dizzy from watching. I really hate the MTV video type of film editing.

I think the opening music has a traditional Norwegian folk music sound to it. Very fitting. Despite my screen name I have Norwegian blood and the music brought tears to my eyes.

I love the love between she and her husband. It's adorable.

One of the great films. A masterpiece.

How can you not love these two?

So simple & ineffable square -- yet so endearing! Luv it!

This is one of my favorite movie marriages ever depicted. Ya, you betcha

The two of them just being stubborn and refusing to be anything but supportive, even at each other's protests is so wholesome. The throat clearing thing was kinda gross but realistic. And it shows love really is bigger than all the glitz and glam stuff. And the way he's always feeding her stuff and she pushes him to pursue his passion, despite his confidence issues. Just...really sweet. Their love languages are on full display and it's both really obvious they love each other, but also mundane and understated. Like, this is just a healthy marriage. Not even dramatic at all. Bc it doesn't need to be, to be meaningful. It's the lack of drama that makes it so special. She has a tough job, and there's a sense of danger and chaos. But, she always comes home to her Norm. And he's so unbothered and even proud of her getting all this recognition, he even sidelines his own achievements. But, then she won't let it go unnoticed because she is equally proud of him. 🥺💖 Edit: the one thing i found problematic was the whole mike thing. Like, she got all dressed up, like she was going on a date. And never told Norm. I'm glad she shut the guy down, when he tried seducing her, essentially. But, still...

As an artist I always liked how he stayed home and painted and she went out and investigated crimes. Whatta flick

I saw this movie with my Dad... such a great memory... I remember him busting out with a laugh when Marge plants that large scoop of food onto her plate at the buffet...

I was just thinking today Marge and Norm may be my fave cinematic couple ever....their last scene is probably the most warm and human thing the Coen's have ever shot...kudos to you Pezrohi!!!

also wonderful in this movie is the music. it's an old irish song adapted to string instruments. beautiful

I actually think the quiet tenderness of Norm and Marge's relationship glimpsed throughout the film serves a great deal in reinforcing the film's existentialist themes of 'good's inability to comprehend evil'. In marge's quiet, loving home life with her sweet husband, it's easy to forget just how selfish, manipulative and corrupt human beings can be, and it's only her bizarre interaction with Mike Yamagita that reminds her of this and allows her to solve the kidnapping. After coming face to face with self-serving human depravity at it's worst during the climax of the film, she's none the less able to return peacefully to her quiet life with her husband and his stamp painting and embrace it for what it is: a beautiful island of meaningful love and peace within an otherwise cold and selfish universe, and that's what ultimatley makes her a good person, and the Hero of the story.

Those pleated lamp shades are so in style again!

It feels so real. The final scene is touching. They are not young, but they will be good parents.

What I love about this film is that they didn't try to shy away from the fact that Marge might be a little uncertain if this is how she wants to spend her life. It's clear that she has a crush on Mike yanagita and you can see her fussing over her hair and dressing nicely when going to meet him. I don't think she'd ever cheat on Norm, but I think a part of her in that moment was interested in seeing what she could have had. When she learns the truth about him, it solidifies that she made the right decision.

just watched this for the first time and i’m obsessed with them

Mika Yanagitahh? Well.. Jaa.!! Cours I remember you!

I absolutely love them

Their relationship is so important for this movie. Not just because it's sweet and we see that there's genuinely a good force at work, but also as a contrast to how shitty the other characters are, especially Jerry.

In the last scene when Marge climbs into bed wearing a sweater over her nightgown, I thought for sure that's the upper Middle West on a cold winter's night.

That was delightful to watch. A real homey, sweet, domesticated bliss. Under that smooth clock of domesticity ticking away punctually, is a deep respect for each other and warmth of affection. Very lovely to see that. It's so real.

i keep comign back to this, hope God puts in my path to have this.

The order of the clips in this video makes it look like the breakfast scene transitions to her immediately having lunch at the station @2:45 haha.

that Arby's looks good, Norm. Cut to closeup of worms. Savage.

Who else wants to go to a buffet after watching those two???😂

Food at the buffet looks good. Lots of protein for Marge...and Jello for dessert.

Marriage goals right here. They're supportive and loving to each other without being sappy. 💗

Cutesies and gentle. Lovely.

I love the Fargo theme. It's so pretty.

Everyone needs a Norm in their lives!

I always wondered if Norm used to be a cop and that's how he met Marge, maybe he had an injury or quit after a traumatic event and decided to become an artist.

I love the fact that he is making food for her. This is what I call a healthy relationship.

Aw shit this is adorable. I wish i could find a Margie

That man is going to be a kick ass Dad.

That's the love I always wanted. It's a good love story.

I love these two. "The Dream"

I've also noticed that this Movie has a Sopranos Vibe to it since so many memorable scenes involved Food. There's The Breakfast, Arby's and then The Buffet Restaurant. I love Buffet Restaurant Scene. I also had no idea that Minneapolis had such an Artistic Legacy. Charles M. Schultz was born there who created Charlie Brown. In the 1980's there were so many Musical Icons from Prince, The Time, Jesse Johnson, Ta Mara & The Seen. Then alot of folks of Norwegian and Scandanavian background live there and Norway is the Location For The Nobel Peace Prize Ceremonies and Anni-Fryd Lyngstad aka "Frida" from Abba is also Norwegian as was A-Ha (Take On Me).

Simple & complex. That’s the theme of the movie.

Marge and Norm were an excellent contrast to all of the hostility we’ve seen throughout the movie
