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.
