Chigurh:
What's the most you've ever lost on a coin toss?
Proprietor:
Sir?
Chigurh:
The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.
Proprietor:
I don't know. I couldn't say.
[Chigurh tosses a quarter in the air, catches it, then places it on the counter with his hand over it]
Chigurh:
Call it.
Proprietor:
Call it?
Chigurh:
[sighs] Yes.
Proprietor:
For what?
Chigurh:
Just call it.
Proprietor:
Well, we need to know what we're callin' for here.
Chigurh:
You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.
Proprietor:
I didn't put nothin' up.
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?
Proprietor:
No.
Chigurh:
1958. It's been traveling 22 years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails, and you have to say. Call it.
Proprietor:
Well, look...I need to know what I stand to win.
Chigurh:
Everything.
Proprietor:
...How's that?
Chigurh:
You stand to win everything. Call it.
Proprietor:
All right. Heads, then.
[Chigurh removes his hand, revealing the proprietor made the correct call]
Chigurh:
[suddenly] Well done! [flicks the quarter to the proprietor] Don't put it in your pocket.
Proprietor:
Sir....?
Chigurh:
Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.
Proprietor:
Well, where do you want me to put it?
Chigurh:
Anywhere, not in your pocket. Where it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin...which it is.
