Steve Buscemi somehow managed to talk his way out of getting a ticket, but the two actors found the whole experience so bizarre that they suspected Creator/TheCoenBrothers of staging the whole thing.

They decided that Norm and Marge met while working on the police force, and when they were married, they had to choose which one had to quit. Since Marge was a better officer, Norm quit and took up painting.

When the Coens didn't get back to him, he flew to New York (where they were starting production) and said, "I'm very, very worried that you are going to screw up this movie by giving this role to somebody else. It's my role, and I'll shoot your dogs if you don't give it to me." He was joking, of course.
