Quote:What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss.

Sir?

The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.

I don't know. I couldn't say.
[flips a quarter from the change on the counter and covers it with his hand]

Call it.

Call it?

Yes.

For what?

Just call it.

Well, we need to know what we're calling it for here.

You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.

I didn't put nothin' up.

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?

No.

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.

Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

Everything.

How's that?

You stand to win everything. Call it.

Alright. Heads then.
[removes his hand, revealing the coin is indeed heads]

Well done.
[the gas station proprietor nervously takes the quarter with the small pile of change he's apparently won while the other starts out]

Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.

Where do you want me to put it?

Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. Which it is.

I mentioned the 1st line on pg 1. This scene still gives me a chill. Anton Chigurh is one of the best film psychopaths/villains, and the Oscar was well deserved.
