Quotes 

• Man who hires Wells : [about Chigurh]  Just how dangerous is he?

  Carson Wells : Compared to what? The bubonic plague?

• 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.

• Carson Wells : Call me when you've had enough. I can even let you keep a little of the money.

  Llewelyn Moss : If I was cuttin' deals, why wouldn't I go deal with this guy Sugar?

  Carson Wells : Oh, no, no. You don't understand. You can't make a deal with him. Even if you gave him the money he'd still kill you just for - inconveniencin' him. He's a peculiar man. You might even say that he has principles. Principles that transcend money or drugs or anything like that. He's not like you. He's not even like me.

  Llewelyn Moss : He don't talk as much as you, I give him points for that.

• Man who hires Wells : Did I say you could sit?

  Carson Wells : No, but you strike me as a man who wouldn't want to waste his chair.

• Carson Wells : I was wondering...

  Man who hires Wells : Yes?

  Carson Wells : Could you validate my parking ticket?

  Man who hires Wells : An attempt at humor, I suppose.

  Carson Wells : I'm sorry... You know, I counted the floors to this building from the street.

  Man who hires Wells : [sighs]  And?

  Carson Wells : There's one missing.

  Man who hires Wells : [sarcastically]  We'll look into it.

• Carson Wells : [sitting by bed]  Buenos Dias. I'm guessing this isn't the future you had planned for yourself when you first clapped eyes on that money. Don't worry, I'm not the man who's after you.

  Llewelyn Moss : [in bed]  I know that. I've seen him.

  Carson Wells : You've seen him, and you're not dead?

  Llewelyn Moss : What's this guy supposed to be, the ultimate badass?

  Carson Wells : No, I wouldn't describe him as that.

  Llewelyn Moss : How would you describe him?

  Carson Wells : I guess I would say he doesn't have a sense of humor. His name is Chigurh.

  Llewelyn Moss : Sugar?

  Carson Wells : Chigurh, Anton Chigurh. Do you know how he found you?

  Llewelyn Moss : Yeah, I know how he found me.

  Carson Wells : Called a transponder.

  Llewelyn Moss : Yeah, I know what it's called. He won't find me again.

  Carson Wells : Not that way.

  Llewelyn Moss : Not any way.

  Carson Wells : Took me about three hours.

  Llewelyn Moss : Yeah, well, I been immobile.

  Carson Wells : No, you don't understand.

• Carson Wells : [Wells sits back and studies Moss]  What do you do?

  Llewelyn Moss : I'm retired.

  Carson Wells : What did you do?

  Llewelyn Moss : Welder.

  Carson Wells : Acetylene? Mig? Tig?

  Llewelyn Moss : Any of it. If it can be welded I can weld it.

  Carson Wells : Cast iron?

  Llewelyn Moss : Yeah.

  Carson Wells : I don't mean braze.

  Llewelyn Moss : I didn't say braze.

  Carson Wells : Pot metal?

  Llewelyn Moss : [annoyed]  What did I say?

• 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.

• Carson Wells : Were you in 'Nam?

  Llewelyn Moss : Yeah, I was 'Nam.

  Carson Wells : So was I.

  Llewelyn Moss : So, what does that make me, your buddy?

• Carson Wells : He's a psychopathic killer, but so what? There's plenty of them around.

  Man who hires Wells : He killed three men in a Del Rio motel yesterday and two others in that colossal goat-fuck out in the desert.

• Man who hires Wells : You've led something of a charmed life, haven't you, Mr. Wells?

  Carson Wells : In all honesty, I can't say that charm has had a whole lot to do with it.

• Carson Wells : How do you know he's not on his way to Odessa?

  Llewelyn Moss : Why would he go to Odessa?

  Carson Wells : Kill your wife.

  Llewelyn Moss : Maybe he's the one that needs to be worried -- about me.

  Carson Wells : Well, he isn't. Yeah. You're not cut out for this. You're just a guy who happened to find those vehicles.
