Wade and Stan are reasonably smart. Didn't they think it was a little suspicious that the day after they decline loaning Jerry $750,000 (after all, they're not a bank), that Jerry's wife is kidnapped for a $1million ransom?

[@grugonk]

Though he's the only one who express any concern for how the kidnapping affects Scotty, while Jerry and Wade are only concerned about the money.

[@mynameisrandy]

I see him as more the ultimate right hand man than just a toady. I think he likes to serve another person, and he's found a person he likes serving in Wade. He also comes to care about Wade's family, and we can see that in how concerned he is about the kidnapping. I don't think he's so bad, really, even if the man he serves is a jerk.

Except this was his attempt at controlling the situation by trying to be badass.

[@sick0spherean]

I don’t. He’s a selfish geezer that got what he deserved. If he really cared about getting his daughter back he would’ve sent Jerry to the payoff. Instead he cared more about his own greed and having his way. Guess he had to learn about that the hard way.

[@ryanh4775]

​@@sick0sphereanHe didn't trust Jerry (rightly so) The only thing Wade did wrong was go and meet the bad guys alone without getting help from professionals.

[@alanbrooks2237]

Wade’s big mistake was not considering that Showalter might have a gun. The way Carl was yelling at him should have put him on guard. But Wade was sure that he could reason with the ‘Punk’, as he thought of him in advance, that he didn’t expect that Showalter would draw first and shoot him. Think of the names, btw: SHOWalter and GRIMSrud. Showy and Grim.

[@atiashaunbaker3792]

[@28098610w]

The interaction between Wade and Jerry tells you everything you need to know about their relationship. He doesn't like him or even hate him - infact even worse Wade has no regard for Jerry as a person , he tolerates him purely for his daughter's sake . Truth is this mirrors how most people in the film - with the exception of his wife and son see Jerry as ( a meek and somewhat incompetent man , who's neither likeable or destable). They initially listen to what he's about to say , but when he stumbles over himself they react with either confusion at best , annoyance or even anger at his bumbling incompetence. Harvey Presnell was brilliant as Wade Gusterson . Wade's an arrogant hardass and a bit of a jerk - which is actually what makes him such an enjoyable character.

[@seantriplesevyn8152]

Jerry brings Wade a deal and he humiliates Jerry over financing. Then Jerry tells Wade Jeannie has been kidnapped and he has to come up with a million dollars to give to Jerry to secure her safety. This doesn’t pass the smell test.

[@sirbalsac]

Not it at all. Jerry asked Wade to give him 3/4 of a million with no real ability to pay it back, nor security should the deal fail. Jerry is a pathetic schlub, so of course Wade wouldn't trust him with that kind of money. Wade views Jerry as some kind of bum.

The best part about this movie is the whole reason behind Jerry needing the money is never revealed. Classic.

[@hoarder1919]

it *is* revealed though, they just dont shove it in our throats. Jerry was involved in some kind of fraud and stole some money. In a bit more detail, he seems to get money for selling non-existent cars. The company he sold the cars to is now wanting the money back because they can't find the cars' serial numbers. So Jerry needs the money to return them to those he conned. the real question is that why doesnt he have the money he stole, where did they go? He doesnt seem to be a money waster, he doesnt do drugs or hookers or expensive cars so where did it all go?

[@kh_qft762]

@@hoarder1919 You just went full circle bro. In the end, we still don't know what he needed money for. The fake car deals are a way to finance something that is unknown to us.

@@kh_qft762 no, we just dont know what he needed money for initially, before the crime (and before the movie - thats important). But we do know what we needed the money for IN the movie.

And the answer to that is: to cover up his initial money fraud.
