No Country for Old Men Quote

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.
