No Country For Old Men - Call It, Friend-O

[Cha0sLord93]

Philosophy mixed with murderous intent is just genious

[JakeandElwoodBlues]

I didn't know Jimmy Carter ran a gas station in West Texas.

[HookedOnSonics518]

This is why I don't work in a gas station.

[MsKurosaki101]

Well I was scared.

[koobi180]

Javier Bardem and Heath Ledger are two ultimate movie badasses. No one gets better.

[TLDaGreat100]

he didnt even kno his life is on the line!

[eddievenegas]

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE PRINCE VALIENT HAIRCUT ?

[maiwork6666666]

It will get mixed in with the others and become just a coin........which it is.

Gets me urry time

[mmob911]

yea they live in a desert and its not a snowplow its a bulldozer how can u possibly mix those two up



[afterapplepicking]

I love the look on his face as he looks up from his notepad.

He's like....awwwwwwwwwwwwww shit.

[KissThisAce]

ok i dont know about anyone else but if he goes down in weight he would make a great joker. on part 3, cuz they came out with a part two dark knight

[Moooo53]

great acting

[UnderCoverPope]

why the fuck is there a snow plow in the background? do they not live in a desert?

[Arch777Angel]

that dude is FREAKED!

[ihateuutube]

You don't know what you're talking about

[cisforcat]

I just finished the book. If you have the chance read it. It is far more intriguing. This is not to say that the movie isn't brilliant, it is, but sometimes the book can give a fuller picture.

[floppykid]

@cisforcat

Books always give a fuller picture.

They're better.

[ranger1843]

According to Anton, the coin toss determined the clerk's fate. Since the clerk called it correctly, Anton couldn't kill him - even defending himself. Thus, Anton was completely vulnerable.

[DragonAce9]

this guy meets 2 face

[PopeOfTheUniverse]

there needs to be a Triple Dog Oscar

[ranger1843]

Two things...

1) Anton asks "Do you live in that house out back?" He actually, says "out back". Colloquialisms are out of character for him, aren't they?

2) Think about it...the clerk could've whipped Anton's butt after the coin toss.

[RoughCraftVideos]

@ranger1843 Can you explain the second one?

[fmansantos]

And THAT, my friends, is how you get free gas.

[xTheCRiMiNaLx]

Anton mind fucks you.

[evilwillhunting]

This scene is masterful. Anton's chilling mix of fatalism, foreboding and philosophy tinged with the air of a viper that will strike any instant. Anton never utters a threat yet it is apparent the clerks life is at stake. Why? For simply existing. ::shudders::

[boliboy2299]

3:00 is the best second of the movie

[ebrown2112]

Did he even pay for the gas?

[areposo]

@ebrown2112 who cares? that lucky son of a bitch made it out alive

[ryancouture]

@ebrown2112 or the nuts

[chomy07]

"you've been putting it up your whole life you just didn't know it"

[Memorex1942]

4:13 EPIC FACE O_O

[funtcucker1]

fucking brilliant

[MrByte92]

god, this is tense.

[MrCoolguy86]

favorite scene in this movie. by far. ctfu

[john6666steele]

We raised a family there...in Temple

[apewillrise]

Such a haunting performance. I LOVE IT!

[Judgingmusic]

What a badass

[hornedfrog5]

Chuck Norris just met his match.

[JevastusSelvius]

@Neverstop302

Isn't it about time that attention fools like you get on here and use scientific terms to sound smart?

[roush26]

@JevastusSelvius he's not being scientific, he's copying wikipedia

[JevastusSelvius]

@roush26

I know he's not. He's just using terms. And perhaps copying wikipedia like you said.

[Joefonzgoldenarms]

3 people are asking if there's something wrong with anything

[radreader01]

The clerk is also an excellent actor. Very natural and believable

[ralfietv]

These are the best scenes in my opinion. Anton's interactions with "normal people" are so well put together, they are actually kind of funny.

[heyimJoeK]

anton walks out

old guy: what the fuck just happened?!

[DANNexMACHINA]

"Honey, where moving right now! Fuck your father's store!" -the clerk when he got home

[MrShipmon]

@DANNexMACHINA I think you meant "we're"

[DANNexMACHINA]

@MrShipmon I think your wright...

[MrShipmon]

@DANNexMACHINA I think you mean "I think you're right".

[DANNexMACHINA]

@MrShipmon You don't no what your talking about do you?...friend oh

[theshellshock30]

you know what i dont get is whats with the smile faces in the back?

[Jet124]

@theshellshock30 air freshener

[shonenjumpfan]

He didn't pay for his gas...

[HLecterPHD]

Hello may I take your order - Yes 1 Large pizza.

And how would you like that delivered - It will be brought to me and placed at my feet.

...They never did deliver it.

[TheGasimli]

@Neverstop302 what makes you think that? pessimism, nihilism, and fate have nothing to do with the views of the philosophers u just mentioned. Socrates believed in knowledge and self-discovery, Plato believed that what what we see are mere forms of an ideal, and Aristotle argued that everything should be balanced. So typing up some smart words, and famous names aint the best way to go, mate :)

[133742069]

@TheGasimli umad because you dont know any smart words

[Fido1488]

@Neverstop302 Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were not nihilists or pessimists, though.

[BlueReishiMan]

@Fido1488 Socrates especially was an optimist, WTF is with that guys comment.

[IDontUsePicks]

Scariest fucking scene ever.

[Zmann42087]

Javier Bardem is so damn spooky in this role! I love it! Makes me very anxious for the next Bond film (Skyfall).

[xmagneticx]

@Zmann42087 shut up

[1983BOWTIEBEATER]

This is one scene where we get an insight to the inside of Antons mind, he has a very very very very dry sense of humor

[ScMusicLoverBG]

Don't put it in your pogget it's your luggy guarter. Lol I like his accent in this scene.

[conzaradikal]

I love the way he repeats everything he says like its the first time he's saying it

[conzaradikal]

I thought they were mints

[WarRogers]

You need to call it. I can't call it for you

[dudemeister97]

Call it, Bond-O

[NooBWantSYoU]

omg!!!! this guy freakin rules!!!!

[IronManXXX]

Will there be something else? You already asked me that...

Now is not a time....what time do you close...around dark...you don't know what you are talking about.....

Gotta love it...methodical, to the point, sticks with it....

Call it...call it? yes...sigh....just call it.....you need to call it...

[IronManXXX]

Will there be something else? You already asked me that...

Now is not a time....what time do you close...around dark...you don't know what you are talking about.....

Gotta love it...methodical, to the point, sticks with it....

[freereg29]

Call it, friend-o

[UseeIsaw]

This is more haunting than the human centipede (both sequences) and Paranormal activity (the trilogy) could ever hope do be. Sensational acting.

[RickLowerboy84]

I feel for you, Anton.

Too many dumbass people in the world. Taking things that aren't theirs and asking nosey questions multiple times. I hate them all.

*thumps heart*

Kindred spirits, buddy.

[RenegadeRoller]

sooo basically... he's retarded?

[odiouspariah]

Why did Anton do that sneeze-like noise at 2:13?

[irishdoberman]

@odiouspariah Because who the fuck would want to get married into that gas station!! I make that sneeze-like noise a lot too ;)

[smokeordieganja]

With a little luck, his life was ruined forever.

[XMansv]

"Well I don't have some way to put it...that's the way it is"

[adamf34]

This scene encompasses everything I love about films by the Cohn brothers. They create tension without having to rely on a damn orchestra as background music to elicit emotion from the watcher.

[husayn1972]

SAY NOW AGAIN! SAY NOW AGAIN! I DARE YA, I DOUBLE DARE YA MOTHERFUCKER, SAY NOW ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME!

[StrongItalianGuy123]

turn on the close captioning funniest thing ever

[elijahw06]

I hated the ending of this movie :(

But my friendo Bardem here is just AAA acting all the way to the hall of fame.

[1bobo1]

Javier Bardem did a great job I didn't know he was Spanish

[VastHobbes]

4:22 *shop owner whispers under his breath* god damn kids these days with their mop top haircuts . . . .

[ErieBoy62]

Those Cohen Brothers come up with the best characters. If you like this movie, you should check out, "Miller's Crossing" it has great characters and quotes.

“I get you, smart guy, I know what you are. Straight as a corkscrew. Mr. Inside-Outsky. Like some goddamn Bolshevik, picking up your orders from Yegg Central.”

Shut up!! Or maybe you still got too many teeth.”

[TwoFacedScarecrow13]

anybody else see that there are no suggestions? u know y?

This guy scared the hell out off them, and too scared to come anywhere near this vid.

[BlackCountryPuddler]

Holy shit.....

[TheBlackbeltGorilla]

Mindfuck...? anyone......?

[Buenomars]

He's best friends with Harvey Dent...

[slickrickjohnson]

Old man man'ed up. You got to give him that.

[TheAlphaChurch]

All that mind fucking just for some free peanuts...

[redfaction011]

he did ALLL of that, JUST to haggle the dude for peanuts!?!

[directorbeau]

@redfaction011

you realize that if the man lost, he would have been shot in the head with the air gun right? just saying.

[redfaction011]

@directorbeau ah, nope. havent seen it yet.

[mrronman2015]

wow this movie suprise me.

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

nice one...xD



[07jackd07]

Best villian scene of all time with the Carson Wells elimination being an immediate second place.

[Lieblingsfachful]

Dammit........I called tales.

[thadea]

@Lieblingsfachful you soon found out you were calling stelio kontos

[missingnote]

Just to finish the story, before he called it, I told him he's worked all his life to get where he is now, with his wife and kids, an education, experiences, and all the little things he values in life, all riding on a coinflip. If you call it wrong, you won't be around to help anyone or anything. People who rely on you won't be able to anymore. A lot of people will be hurt. And it's either heads or tails, and it determines your entire fate, and whether it ends right here depends on the coin.

[missingnote]

I did this with my therapist as an argument for determinism, because he was arguing with me about my locus of control being external. I told him the age of the coin, pointed out that it's passed from hand to hand, and now it's here. Then I flipped it and slammed it down like here. Then I said it's heads or tails, and you either win everything or lose everything. I asked him, Can you influence whether it's heads or tails? Can you affect the outcome in any way? He called it right, though.

[holyX]

"why would you be back? we'd be closed"

I'd say 5:1 in Anton's favor altogether.

[kunningan]

THIS MAKES ME LAUGH SO MUCH!!!!

[Fldzpln11]

At 1:27 he makes the face I do everyday. Dealing with people in the service industry.

[kunningan]

@Fldzpln11

2:11 IS MY FACE WITH THE PUBLIC. " COUGH, YOU MARRIED INTO IT? "

[kovalevisgod]

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

[62cyoung]

haha its leo from leo and satan and hes all grown up

[bigbluntburnin22]

you stand to win everything...call it (the tension in anton's voice is priceless)

[gerry3x]

Imagine if Anton was your teacher or something at school!

[Greev84]

@gerry3x in that case every student would have straight As

[gerry3x]

I bet this guys wife runs all over him.

[gerry3x]

You deaf mother fucka.

[Varangian1915]

Anton should have shot this asshole, he married into all his wealth he deserves to fuckin die.

[jalfrezi365]

most uncomfortable scene ever!

[83shovel]

@jalfrezi365 have to agree.

[redfaction011]

does this man die later in the movie?? o.o

[LaggyRandomness]

@redfaction011 yes they saw him in half

[trevonoatis]

This is my shit!!

[Pinebushfootball]

@adnormalparadise

They were cashews, FRIENDO

[DesignYourLifeStyle]

Hey wait! You forgot to pay your bill.....

[southsidesman]

Best thing about this scene...

Great acting by BOTH actors.

Worst thing about this scene...

A reminder that no good, lousy, varmit, chump, punk, cowardly, heartless, foolish, low life, ugly, worthless, brainless, hell bound, creepy, chicken wing head, evil pieces of trash - LIKE THIS!!!! - exist on this planet!!!

[dcal008]

This scene reads WAY better in the book and they leave out the best part of the conversation. Chigurh mentions that the coin got there the same way he did, and that anything can be an "instrument," in this case the coin is an instrument of death. You can't separate the object from the act, as if the parts in some moment of history might be interchangeable with the parts of some other moment.

[TheKenfig]

An absolute maniac ; one of the most dangerous characters I've EVER seen

[joelombrdo]

@TheKenfig so true, and he didn't yell or use any salt language, and yet the tension and suspense is incredible.

[TheKenfig]

@joelombrdo Love the bit when he coughs / chokes. Also, he seems sincere about paying for the peanuts or whatever it is he's eating, and "and the gas ?" ; it appears that in all the insanity that follows, they both forget about the money and the poor old fellow cant wait to see the back of him !!. Hope Anton didnt do it all deliberately to not pay !, Lol. That old fellow will never forget HIM, that's for sure. Love how Anton still always politely calls him 'Sir' in spite of what he may do to him

[AbnormalParadox]

He didn't even pay for the peanuts

[DelightfulJackass]

@AbnormalParadox Anton has the most creative of ways when it comes to haggling over prices :P

[MrJuliusrapper]

what was he eating

[sawfan25]

Bardem reminds me of Brad Garrett if he (Garrett) was a good actor

[atlas88xx]

3 guys are just FRIENDOS

[ReconRaptor]

He destroyed that guy with his mind.

[cr0nicmunchies123]

@ReconRaptor I agree with you 100% percent. 

[dragline13]

@ReconRaptor

That's telekinesis, holmes.

[XMansv]

it is entirely possible that this is the single greatest scene ever done...just fantastic

[adamf34]

@XMansv Couldn't agree with you more. It's certainly #1 for me.

[XMansv]

@adamf34 Just fantastic movie all the way around.

[gammacurve]

2:12 no-one chokes on a nut like Javier Bardem

[tcgilson1]

Why did they leave him choking on a peanut in the scene?

[Krokh]

@tcgilson1 This whole scene is like watching a sleeping bear. At any moment you know the bear could wake up and he won't be in a good mood when he does. That choke was that moment.

[irishdoberman]

@tcgilson1 He's laughing at him being married into it. It's a joke. He's sneering/snickering/laughing.

[TDproductions7]

I see that some people or scared or intimidated by the coin toss an this scene, but to me, it's one of the most relaxing and calm performances ever to me, and it's acted superbly!

[A1r93]

Can someone please explain the point of the scene? (I personally really like it and the acting is fantastic) but what is the point? It is there a hidden message or something? Is it hinting at something?

[billy1212ist]

@A1r93 Heads or tails,he calla his own life or death,Javier,the sicko gives them a 50 50 chance,in his mind they are calling their own fate.

[charleze12]

@A1r93 no the he is a psychopath and he is bored the coin toss is to determine whether he kills him or not 

[ForceRcnMarine]

@A1r93 Well Javier Bardem was just prying about. The point is that Anton KNEW that this old man knew he didn't like his life or something like that, it had something to do with the dissatisfaction of his life being married into it. And so of course he puts that old mans life on the line with that one coin, If he called it wrong he would of got what he wanted which was a way out, but he didn't really know he wanted it. Anston told him to keep that coin for memory of his life basically.

[mdervish15]

Javier Bardem would make an awesome soccer referee: He'd totally freak everyone out every time he had to do a coin toss!

[TheMementoman]

@mdervish15 You made this exact comment on another video...

[MightBiteYa]

Someone with better video editing skills than I needs to mash this up with the gas station clerk scene from Raising Arizona.

[norcaltke857]

he ask too many fucking questions

[steviebrochdale]

This guy would would scare the shit out of me!

[goblineyes]

the old guy. is that the old dude from into the wild? he looks very very familiar. truly one of the best scenes ever

[martinchinelli]

NUT BAR



[Theryougo1]

Who would win Chigrugh or Dirty Harry?

Old Clint would have kicked his ass....

[MonstersNightmare]

@TheSlaytanicTom Nor do I man, nor do I.. Anyone who knows the answer, let us know! =-) THANKZ!

[willburr]

The brilliance of this scene is also in giving a revelation of the whole underlying theme of the movie; people get into deep trouble getting in over their heads, pretending they know more than they do when faced with something they don't understand. This guy just goes along with it and he gets lucky. The sheriff admits he's in over his head. Everybody who tries anything else gets killed.

[MonstersNightmare]

@willburr ....Huh?

[avonbarksdalejr]

I love this scene because I felt like dat plenty of times. " What business is it our your, where I'm from, Friend-o ". In other words, LEVEAVE me da hell alone.

[subpink]

The way Chigurgh says "You stand to win everything" reminds me of the scene in "Fight Club" when Brad Pitt's character is threatening to kill the gas station attendant unless he doesn't make a life change to pursue his dreams... we all stand to win everything with our lives.

[meghan9mac]

@subpink Great. Now I want to watch Fight Club, and I don't own it. I hope you know that you've ruined my night! hahah

[BOZ11]

@TheSlaytanicTom He's physically repulsed, since the shopkeeper hadn't earned the shop, but rather had married into it.

[ohjoe2010]

this scene still gives me the chills. epic scene!!

[videotitan1]

Some people are born without certain natural cells in their brains, when those cells are missing and not in order then as a result we have a lot of characters like this guy. Be careful when on the road, cuz remember many people are born without those necesary cells required to be mentally sane, without those cells we call them Psychopaths.

[eli4s]

@TheSlaytanicTom probably because he cant believe to hear that he "married into it" ... :D...

[revxxxxxxx]

He never paid for the gas.
