Anton Chigurh
- Anton Chigurh: What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?
- Gas Station Proprietor: Sir?
- Anton Chigurh: The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.
- Gas Station Proprietor: I don't know. I couldn't say.
- [Chigurh flips a quarter from the change on the counter and covers it with his hand]
- Anton Chigurh: Call it.
- Gas Station Proprietor: Call it?
- Anton Chigurh: Yes.
- Gas Station Proprietor: For what?
- Anton Chigurh: Just call it.
- Gas Station Proprietor: Well, we need to know what we're calling it for here.
- Anton Chigurh: You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.
- Gas Station Proprietor: I didn't put nothin' up.
- Anton Chigurh: Yes, you did. You've been putting it up your whole life, you just didn't know it. You know what date is on this coin?
- Gas Station Proprietor: No.
- Anton Chigurh: 1958. It's been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.
- Gas Station Proprietor: Look, I need to know what I stand to win.
- Anton Chigurh: Everything.
- Gas Station Proprietor: How's that?
- Anton Chigurh: You stand to win everything. Call it.
- Gas Station Proprietor: Alright. Heads then.
- [Chigurh removes his hand, revealing the coin is indeed heads]
- Anton Chigurh: Well done.
- [the gas station proprietor nervously takes the quarter with the small pile of change he's apparently won while Chigurh starts out]
- Anton Chigurh: Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.
- Gas Station Proprietor: Where do you want me to put it?
- Anton Chigurh: Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. Which it is.
- [Chigurh leaves and the gas station proprietor stares at him as he walks out]
- Carla Jean Moss: You don't have to do this.
- Anton Chigurh: [smiles] People always say the same thing.
- Carla Jean Moss: What do they say?
- Anton Chigurh: They say, "You don't have to do this."
- Carla Jean Moss: You don't.
- Anton Chigurh: Okay.
- [Chigurh flips a coin and covers it with his hand]
- Anton Chigurh: This is the best I can do. Call it.
- Carla Jean Moss: I knowed you was crazy when I saw you sitting there. I knowed exactly what was in store for me.
- Anton Chigurh: Call it.
- Carla Jean Moss: No. I ain't gonna call it.
- Anton Chigurh: Call it.
- Carla Jean Moss: The coin don't have no say. It's just you.
- Anton Chigurh: Well, I got here the same way the coin did.
- Anton Chigurh: [indicating bag of cashews] How much?
- Gas Station Proprietor: Sixty-nine cent.
- Anton Chigurh: This. And the gas.
- Gas Station Proprietor: Y'all gettin' any rain up your way?
- Anton Chigurh: What way would that be?
- Gas Station Proprietor: I seen you was from Dallas.
- Anton Chigurh: What business is it of yours where I'm from, friendo?
- Gas Station Proprietor: I didn't mean nothin' by it.
- Anton Chigurh: Didn't mean nothin'.
- Gas Station Proprietor: I was just passin' the time. If you don't wanna accept that I don't know what else to do for you. Will there be something else?
- Anton Chigurh: I don't know. Will there?
- Gas Station Proprietor: Is somethin' wrong?
- Anton Chigurh: With what?
- Gas Station Proprietor: With anything?
- Anton Chigurh: Is that what you're asking me? Is there something wrong with anything?
- Gas Station Proprietor: Will there be anything else?
- Anton Chigurh: You already asked me that.
- Gas Station Proprietor: Well... I need to see about closin'.
- Anton Chigurh: See about closing.
- Gas Station Proprietor: Yessir.
- Anton Chigurh: What time do you close?
- Gas Station Proprietor: Now. We close now.
- Anton Chigurh: Now is not a time. What time do you close?
- Anton Chigurh: And you know what's going to happen now. You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it.
- Carson Wells: You go to hell.
- Anton Chigurh: [Chuckles] Alright. Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
- Carson Wells: Do you have any idea how crazy you are?
- Anton Chigurh: You mean the nature of this conversation?
- Carson Wells: I mean the nature of you.
- Llewelyn Moss: [talking over phone] Hello?
- Anton Chigurh: Yes?
- Llewelyn Moss: Is, uh, Carson Wells there?
- Anton Chigurh: Not in the sense that you mean. You need to come see me.
- Llewelyn Moss: Who is this?
- Anton Chigurh: You know who it is. You need to talk to me.
- Llewelyn Moss: I don't need to talk to you.
- Anton Chigurh: I think you do. Do you know where I'm going?
- Llewelyn Moss: Why would I care where you're going?
- Anton Chigurh: I know where you are.
- Llewelyn Moss: Yeah? Where am I?
- Anton Chigurh: You're in the hospital across the river, but that's not where I'm going. Do you know where I'm going?
- Llewelyn Moss: [blood flows on the floor, and so Chigurh lifts his feet and rests them on the bed] Yeah, I know where you're going.
- Anton Chigurh: Alright.
- Llewelyn Moss: You know she won't be there.
- Anton Chigurh: It doesn't make any difference where she is.
- Llewelyn Moss: So what are you going up there for?
- Anton Chigurh: You know how this is going to turn out, don't you?
- Llewelyn Moss: Nope.
- Anton Chigurh: I think you do. So this is what I'll offer - you bring me the money and I'll let her go. Otherwise she's accountable, same as you. That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't.
- [Anton has just shot the Man who hires Wells in the throat, and is standing over his body]
- [to Nervous Accountant]
- Anton Chigurh: Who are you?
- Nervous Accountant: Me?
- Anton Chigurh: Yes.
- Nervous Accountant: Nobody... accounting.
- Anton Chigurh: He gave the Mexicans a receiver.
- [Anton sighs]
- Nervous Accountant: He feels... he felt that the more people looking... .
- [cut-off by Anton]
- Anton Chigurh: That's foolish. You pick the one right tool.
- Nervous Accountant: I see. Are you going to shoot me?
- Anton Chigurh: That depends. Do you see me?
- Anton Chigurh: I'm looking for Llewelyn Moss.
- Desert Aire Manager: Did you go up to his trailer?
- Anton Chigurh: Yes, I did.
- Desert Aire Manager: Well, I'd say he's at work. Do you want to leave a message?
- Anton Chigurh: Where does he work?
- Desert Aire Manager: I can't say.
- Anton Chigurh: Where does he work?
- Desert Aire Manager: Sir, I ain't at liberty to give out no information about our residents.
- Anton Chigurh: Where does he work?
- Desert Aire Manager: Did you not hear me? We can't give out no information.
- Carla Jean Moss: I ain't got the money. What little I had is long gone, and there's bills aplenty to pay yet. I buried my mother today. Ain't pay for that neither.
- Anton Chigurh: I wouldn't worry about it.
- Carla Jean Moss: I need to sit down.
- Boy on Bike #2: Mister? You got a bone stickin' out of your arm.
- Anton Chigurh: Let me just sit here a minute.
- Mexican in Bathtub: [after Anton Chigurh has killed his comrades; in Spanish] No me mate.
- Anton Chigurh: How did you find that?
- Mexican in Bathtub: No me mate.
- [Chigurh closes the shower curtains and shoots him dead]
- Carson Wells: I know where the - satchel is.
- Anton Chigurh: If you knew, you would have it with you.
- Carson Wells: I can find it from the river bank. I know where it is.
- Anton Chigurh: I know something better.
- Carson Wells: What's that?
- Anton Chigurh: I know where it's going to be.
