Javier BardemQuotes

Hector P. Valenti: Nothing could be of less importance than what other people think. Let people stare! For once in their dreary lives, they have something wonderful to look at; Look! Look!

Hector P. Valenti: Who wants to be safe? No-no-no safe is a repellent little word, exponge it from your mind! We are here to live, yes? And living is a dangerous business, my friend!

Hector P. Valenti: [as Lyle is licking him] I miss you, too!

Hector P. Valenti: You must be the new tenants. I see that you've met my crocodile. He's an extraordinary talent. His name is Lyle.

Liz Gilbert: I'm sick of people telling me that I need a man.

Felipe: You don't need a man, Liz. You need a champion.

Carla Jean Moss: I knew this wasn't done with.

Anton Chigurh: No.

Carla Jean: I ain't got the money. What little I had is long gone and there's bills a-plenty to pay yet. I buried my mother today. I ain't paid for that neither.

Chigurh: I wouldn't worry about it.

Carla Jean: I need to sit down. You got no cause to hurt me.

Chigurh: No, but I gave my word.

Carla Jean: You gave your word?

Chigurh: To your husband.

Carla Jean: That don't make sense. You gave your word to my husband to kill me?

Chigurh: Your husband had the opportunity to save you. Instead, he used you to try to save himself.

Carla Jean: Not like that. Not like you say. You don't have to do this.

Chigurh: People always say the same thing.

Carla Jean: What do they say?

Chigurh: They say, "You don't have to do this.

Carla Jean: You don't.

Chigurh: [sighs; tosses a coin] Okay. This is the best I can do. Call it.

Carla Jean: I knowed you was crazy when I saw you sittin there. I knowed exactly what was in store for me.

Chigurh: Call it.

Carla Jean: No, I ain't gonna call it.

Chigurh: Call it.

Carla Jean: The coin don't have no say. It's just you.

Chigurh: Well, I got here the same way the coin did.

Carson Wells: You don't have to do this. I'm a day trader. I could just go home.

Anton Chigurh: You could?

Wells: I could make it worth your while. I could take you to an ATM with 14 grand in it, and everyone just walks away.

Chigurh: [amused] An ATM.

Wells: I know where the satchel is.

Chigurh: If you knew, you would have it with you.

Wells: I can find it from the riverbank. I know where it is.

Chigurh: I know something better. I know where it's going to be.

Wells: Where's that?

Chigurh: It will be brought to me and placed at my feet.

Wells: You don't know to a certainty. Twenty minutes, it could be here.

Chigurh: I do know to a certainty, and you know what's going to happen now, Carson. You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it.

Wells: You go to hell.

Chigurh: All right. Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?

Wells: Do you have any idea how crazy you are?

Chigurh: You mean the nature of this conversation?

Wells: [The phone rings. Wells looks at it briefly before looking back to Chigurh, who shoots him dead. He picks up the phone.] I mean the nature of you. You...You can have the money, Anton.

Llewelyn Moss: Hello?

Anton Chigurh: Yes?

Moss: Is, uh, Carson Wells there?

Chigurh: [glances at Wells' corpse] Not in the sense that you mean. You need to come and see me.

Moss: Who is this?

Chigurh: You know who it is.

Moss: [sighs] Yeah, I know who it is.

Chigurh: You need to talk to me.

Moss: I don't need to talk to you.

Chigurh: I think you do. Do you know where I'm going?

Moss: Why would I care where you're going?

Chigurh: I know where you are.

Moss: Yeah? Where am I?

Chigurh: You're in the hospital across the river. But that's not where I'm going. Do you know where I'm going?

Moss: [quietly] Yeah, I know where you're going. She's not gonna be there.

Chigurh: It won't make a difference if she's there.

Moss: So what are you going up there for?

Chigurh: You know how this is going to turn out, don't you?

Moss: No. Do you?

Chigurh: I think you do, so this is what I'll offer: you bring me the money and I'll let her go. Otherwise she's accountable, the same as you. That's the best deal you're going to get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't.

Moss: Yeah, I'm goin to bring you somethin', all right. I've decided to make you a special project of mine. You ain't goin to have to look for me at all.

Anton Chigurh: How much?

Proprietor: $0.69.

Chigurh: And the gas.

Proprietor: [trying to make conversation] Y'all gettin any rain up your way?

Chigurh: [starts eating the peanuts] ...what way would that be?

Proprietor: I seen you was from Dallas.

Chigurh: What business is it of yours, where I'm from... "friendo"?

Proprietor: [confused] I didn't mean nothing by it.

Chigurh: Didn't mean nothing.

Proprietor: Just passing the time. If you don't wanna accept that, I don't know what else I can do for you. Will there be something else?

Chigurh: I don't know, will there?

Proprietor: [minor pause. He clears his throat] Is something wrong?

Chigurh: [confused] With what?

Proprietor: With anything.

Chigurh: [mildly amused, though hardly showing it] Is that what you're asking me? "Is there something wrong with anything"?

Proprietor: Will there be anything else?

Chigurh: You already asked me that.

Proprietor: [pause] Well, I need to see about closing now.

Chigurh: See about closing?

Proprietor: Yes, sir.

Chigurh: What time do you close?

Proprietor: Now, we close now.

Chigurh: Now" is not a time, what time do you close?

Proprietor: [gestures vaguely outside, which is still mildly daytime] Generally around dark. At dark.

Chigurh: [deep inhale, short exhale] You don't know what you're talking about, do you?

Proprietor: Sir?

Chigurh: [pause] I said, you don't know what you're talking about. What time do you go to bed?

Proprietor: [getting more uncomfortable] Sir?

Chigurh: You're a bit deaf, aren't ya? I said "What time do you go to bed"?

Proprietor: Um... usually somewhere around 9:30? I-I'd say around 9:30.

Chigurh: [ominously] I could come back then.

Proprietor: [confused] Why would you be coming back? We'd be closed.

Chigurh: Yeah, you said that.

Proprietor: Well, I got to close now.

Chigurh: [noticing the house in the back] You live in that house out back?

Proprietor: [a bit disturbed] Yes, I do...

Chigurh: You lived here all your life?

Proprietor: This is my wife's father's place, uh, originally.

Chigurh: [stifles a cough in disgust before resuming] ...you married into it?

Proprietor: We lived in Temple, Texas, for many years. Raised a family there, in Temple. We come out here about four years ago.

Chigurh: [still focused on the man's last statement] You married into it.

Proprietor: [slight chuckle] If that's the way you wanna put it.

Chigurh: [he exhales before placing the crumpled peanut wrapper on the counter top and pulling out a quarter] I don't have some way to put it. That's the way it is. 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: 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: [annoyed] You stand to win everything. Call it.

Proprietor: All right. Heads, then.

Chigurh: [deadpan; flicks the quarter to the proprietor] Well done. 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: [gives a glance] Anywhere not in your pocket. Or it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin... which it is.

mother: What are you?

Him: [[w:I Am that I Am|I, am I] Me? ]. You? You were home.

mother: Where are you taking me?

Him: [pause] The Beginning. You won't hurt much longer.

mother: What hurts me the most is that I wasn't enough.

Him: It's not your fault. Nothing is ever enough. I couldn't create if it was. And I have to. That's what I do. That's... what I am. Now I must try it all again.

mother: No... just let me go.

Him: I need one last thing.

mother: I have nothing left to give.

Him: Your love. It's still there, isn't it?

mother: Go ahead. Take it.

Him: Stop, stop, don't, don't, don't, please don't. I love you.

mother: You never loved me. You just loved how much I loved you. I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING. You gave it all away.

Him: I'm his father.

mother: And I'm his mother!

mother: Stop, they're ruining everything!

Him: These are just things. They can be replaced.

Him: My wife loves having company.

Him: They've come to see me.

King Triton: You shouldn't have had to give up your voice to be heard, but now I am listening.

King Triton: You gave your life for me. And you fought to get my life back.

King Triton: What have I done?

King Triton: [to Sebastian] Was I too hard on her?

King Triton: As long as you live in my ocean, you'll obey my rules.

King Triton: This obsession with humans has to stop.

Ruben Cervantes: I'm offering you an open seat in Formula One. The only place you could say if you win, you are the absolute best in the world.
