Where'd you get the pistol?
At the gettin' place. Did you buy that gun? Nope. Found it. Llewelyn! What? Quit hollerin'. What'd you give for that thing? You don't need to know everything, Carla Jean. I need to know that. You keep runnin' that mouth I'm gonna' take you in the back and screw ya'. Big talk. Keep it up. Fine. I don't wanna' know. I don't even wanna' know where you been all day. That'll work. |

What do you think he would have done?
I know what he would have done. Yeah. I guess I do, too. He’d of set there till hell froze over and then stayed a while on the ice. Do you think that makes him a better man than you? Yessir. I do. |

Yeah...I'm just not sure how they'd have gotten it into the movie without making it seem like some Rambo-esqe PTSD thing. It really wasn't PTSD, it was a moment of fear during combat that defined Bell's life. He seem to spend his entire life as a sheriff trying to atone for that moment. But, at the same time, always scared he'd fold again if things got bad. That is why he had to go into the hotel room. It was his one moment. It didn't matter that Anton wasn't in there. What mattered was that he pulled his 1911 and went in there. And once he had faced that moment, he knew that he was done with being a lawman. Things were "getting" bad in his mind and he was afraid he'd have to do it again. He'd done it, but he didn't want to have to face the possibility he couldn't do (or wouldn't) do it the next time. Maybe he even knew he wouldn't. He'd done it once and now, even though he could never go back to Europe, he could go out knowing that he had faced that type of fear once and not backed down. |

Especially in the book, I got the feeling that the Sheriff was constantly wrestling with whether or not he was a coward. The movie kind of showed how he always showed up just after the danger had left. But the ending of both showed him finally confronting that danger. |

Having not read the book, I always assumed that Chigur was in the room, then slipped out after the Sherriff went into the bathroom. Chigur was just in his imagination for that moment?? |

I knew immediately that the movie was really about the Sheriff and the plot between Moss and Chigurh was the vehicle to tell it. I just didn't know why. He wasn't needed for the Moss storyline so why include him?

I haven't read the book in awhile, but I don't think it mattered. The point wasn't a showdown between Bell and Chigurh, the point was that Bell was willing to face Chigurh, who was the representation of death. |

Aggravates me, especially in a film where they've obviously paid such attention to detail in other areas. |
