INT. GAS STATION - DAY
CHIGURH stands at the counter. The PROPRIETOR bags some cashews. Outside, the empty West Texas landscape stretches in every direction.
PROPRIETOR
Is there something wrong?
CHIGURH
I didn't say there was anything wrong.
PROPRIETOR
Will there be anything else?
CHIGURH
I don't know. Will there?
The Proprietor looks at him. Something is off but he can't place it.
CHIGURH
What's the most you 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 takes a quarter from his pocket and flips it. He catches it and slaps it on the counter, covering it with his hand.
CHIGURH
Call it.
PROPRIETOR
Call it?
2
CHIGURH
Yes.
PROPRIETOR
For what?
CHIGURH
Just call it.
PROPRIETOR
Well — we need to know what we're calling it for here.
CHIGURH
You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.
