Wells: Do you have any notion of how goddamned crazy you are? Chigurh: The nature of this conversation? Wells: The nature of you. (Chigurh leaned back. He studied Wells. Tell me something, he said.) Wells: What? Chigurh: If the rule you followed led you to this, of what use was the rule? Wells: I dont know what you're talking about. Chigurh: I'm talking about your life. In which now everything can be seen at once. Wells: I'm not interested in your bullshit, Anton. Chigurh: I thought you might want to explain yourself. Wells: I dont have to explain myself to you. Chigurh: Not to me. To yourself. I thought you might have something to say. Wells: You go to hell. Chigurh: You surprise me, that's all. I expected something different. It calls past events into question. Dont you think so? Wells: You think I'd trade places with you? Chigurh: Yes. I do. I'm here and you are there. In a few minutes I will still be here. (Wells looked out the darkened window.) Wells: I know where the satchel is. Chigurh: If you knew where the satchel was, you would have it. Wells: I was going to have to wait until there was no one around. Till night. Two in the morning. Something like that. Chigurh: You know where the satchel is? Wells: Yes. Chigurh: I know something better. Wells: What's that? Chigurh: I know where it's going to be. Wells: And where is that? Chigurh: It will be brought to me, and placed at my feet. (Wells wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.) Chigurh: It wouldnt cost you anything. It's twenty minutes from here. Wells: You know that's not going to happen. Dont you? (Wells didnt answer.) Chigurh: Dont you? Wells: You go to hell. Chigurh: You think you can put it off with your eyes. Wells: What do you mean? Chigurh: You think that as long as you keep looking at me you can put it off. Wells: I dont think that. Chigurh: Yes you do. You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it. I'm trying to help you. Wells: You son of a bitch. Chigurh: You think you wont close your eyes. But you will. (Wells didnt answer. Chigurh watched him.) Chigurh: I know what else you think. Wells: You dont know what I think. Chigurh: You think I'm like you. That it's just greed. But I'm not like you. I live a simple life. Wells: Just do it. Chigurh: You wouldnt understand. A man like you. Wells: Just do it. Chigurh: Yes. They always say that. But they dont mean it, do they? Wells: You piece of shit. Chigurh: It's not good, Carson. You need to compose yourself. If you dont respect me what must you think of yourself? Wells: Look at where you are. You think you're outside of everything. But you're not. Chigurh: Not everything. No. You're not outside of death. It doesnt mean to me what it does to you. Wells: You think I'm afraid to die? Chigurh: Yes. Wells: Just do it. Do it and goddamn you. Chigurh: It's not the same. You've been giving up things for years to get here. Wells: I dont think I even understood that. Chigurh: How does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? We're in the same line of work. Up to a point. Did you hold me in such contempt? Why would you do that? How did you let yourself get in this situation? (Wells looked out at the street.) Wells: What time is it? (Chigurh raised his wrist and looked at his watch.) Chigurh: Eleven fifty-seven he said. (Wells nodded.) Wells: By the old woman's calendar I've got three more minutes. Well the hell with it. I think I saw all this coming a long time ago. Almost like a dream. Déjà vu. (He looked at Chigurh.) Wells: I'm not interested in your opinions. Just do it. You goddamned psychopath. Do it and goddamn you to hell.
