- I do not own anything in this video, it is merely for entertainment purposes.
I recently watched this movie and thought it was quite amazing and suspenseful. I really enjoyed this scene (among many others) but wasn't able to find an HD version with subtitles on UA-cam, so I thought it would be nice to share it with the community. - Розваги
This is what introverts think will happen if they make conversation with a random.
this is how it feels
Actually the opposite.... If anyone tries to socialize with me with any form of basic-ness I want them to choose either heads or tails.
You don't know what you're talking about, do you?
Yes
help me
Moral of the story: don't make conversations with strangers who have a weird haircut
Both haircuts look fine
It's not like he had much of a choice.
Like your smile bro 😀

this scene is so good. it shows how psychotic Antoine is. The way he gets intensely serious and puts the guys life in to a coin toss, and then once the man wins he gets lighthearted. He goes from being willing to murder to being playful in an instant.
What's scary about Anton throughout the movie is he never quickens his pace. He takes his time and does everything in a slow and methodical manner.
The fact that he was taking his time to chat and then decide whether he plans to kill the old man is really what puts you on edge.
A series of forensic psychoanalysts watched movies to determine which movie killer was the most realistically a psychopath. Anton was who they chose as the most realistic.
@@moblinmajorgeneral dexter is the same
Psychopathic* There's a difference. Sorry for sounding like a nerd.
@@redfill68 dexter isn't psychopathic... he's sociopathic... he enjoys the killing that he inflicts on bad ppl because of a code that he leart by his father... he was broken since he was a child but he does share psychopathic traits but that doesn't mean he's a psychopath as he doesn't kill innocent ppl or civilians
His voice. The calmness. Death can't be personified any better.
he's not the personification of death
Anton Chigurgh is the personified of fate not death. He is ethical he have twisted moral code He serves the coin coin means probability Which is outcome is inevitable. He kills because the persons he kill must be/had to be dead cause unbiased coin chooses outcome.
@@e52n he is the angel of death
@@e52n I think that he wants to be recognised for others like a legend or death itself in the film
What about the his hair? That hair don't scares me
The most intense way to get out of paying for gas.
He did ask how much he owed for the gas tho
Dog & pony show, the man so relieved he didn’t get robbed and he ended up getting robbed lol
@@a2thek914 he did, after he asked how much the peanuts were.
That's it. I'm trying it now.
@@machomanforeverworldchampion you in jail fam ?
I don’t think the supporting actor gets enough credit in this scene. Such a small part but he played it perfectly.
He did
@Pulak Sinha his name is Gene Jones and he’s NOT playing normal. He’s a fine actor, with many credentials and has been actor for years.
Why? Chigurgh would make me crap my pants during this scene wether I knew it was a movie or not. Javier commands the scene, but yes, supporting actor nailed the demographic character.
Yes, he did. I felt so sorry for him..
should they hold a parade for him?
Maybe name a holiday after him ?
What's frightening about the scene is that Anton isn't even disappointed by the coin toss. Honestly, he seems more relieved and impressed by the guy's correct call. Truly exemplifies the idea that Chigurh sees himself as a force entirely dictated by fate.
Javier Bardem is amazing.👏👏
You'll never hear Anton Chigurh say "You know what, I like you. Let's do the coin toss again, maybe you'll get it right."
I thought this it's like he's relieved he won lol
The way the cashier stares at the unfolding wrapper is so real. It's those small, mundane things we tend to notice when we're overcome with anxiety and uncertainty. What a nice touch.
Yeah, Anton was death gripping that wrapper.
I wonder how many wrappers they went through before they found the one that would crinkle just right.
I love how the wrapper uncoils like a snake. It signifies the turn of the conversation as anton gets ready to kill the cashier.
@@bigdobiz7378Yeah, beautiful point. The creeping unraveling, representing the palpable tension in the room
@@bigdobiz7378how does it signifie that😂 I swear y’all are worse than teachers trying to find a meaning behind every poem
Javier steals the scene, but the cashier deserves just as much credit. He seems so much like every old timer I’ve seen working at gas stations in Texas, I forget he’s just an actor. He nailed it.
I agree. I felt so bad for the cashier, throughout the whole scene I was like "Oh god, please don't kill him".
@@OfficerRichardGrimes Totally agree. Just a normal man in an abnormal situation. He handled it better than most would have.
He was like a deer in the headlights. Looked like he was genuinely pissing himself with fear.
It’s team work. Bardem’s counterpart pulled off an incredible performance too. They complemented each other brilliantly. One in a million chance.
that's what happens when you have true master directors behind the actors, something 99% of the streaming shit we see today is completely devoid of
Michael Bay can spend 1 billion dollars on an explosives scene and it wouldn't be as nerve-wracking as the coin toss scene.

@@joooanit0224 you stfu bruh this is an amazing scene
@@oilers_fan_77 indeed it is, but you stfu anyway

I think the reason he was saying stfu is because this comment is cringe. Yeah we get it, “this movie is good. Michael Bay is bad.” That’s why we are here. 🙄
This is one of the most calm, intense scenes I’ve seen in a while. You could feel the anticipation of the unknown building by the second.
Ur pepe got scared too
@@ujwalsharma5484 😐
@@ujwalsharma5484 shut
It's very calm on the surface, yet Anton's tone and series of probing questions gradually ramp up this undercurrent of menace and even impending doom. I wish more films had the skill, subtle handling and integrity of the directors' choices in this scene and most of "No Country".
Fun fact: Javier stated in an interview that the coin toss scene was entirely improvised and he would have actually killed the actor playing the clerk if he said tails over heads. Bravo, Javier!
method acting at its finest
This is the moment Javier became Anton.
He shouldn't be acting, he belongs in a criminally insane mental institution!
That's a really fun fact.
Funny fact indeed
After that moment, the old man was cured from small talk.

So underrated. Hahahah
Legitimately wheezed at this.
😂😂😂😂
This scene feels like death himself going to a gas station store and talking to a random mortal lol
Well, the guys who directed this movie like putting the grim reaper in some of their movies. Anton Chigurh fits that bill really well, since he chooses some of his targets randomly, is as silent as a ghost, leaves little to no traces
@@theburningman5047 Excellent observation!

@@balabanasireti I've made love to the shotgun he uses, it's pretty spot on.....
I love the fact that Javier Bardem in real life hates violence and is so peace loving but he plays this psychopath so well.
And the fact the Javier has a sense of humor while Anton doesn’t according to Carson in the movie.
@@spartyontopalmost as if he is a great actor huh?
Such an amazing performance. You can see how he is losing his patience with every word the old man says. He just kept his anger deep inside and gave the old lucky man his chance to live.
Love the way the old man realized something really bad was happening then when the peanut wrapper started unfolding.
Goofy aaahh emojis
But anyways, that's a good point
😂😂😂😂
Man, that emoji really ruins an otherwise decent comment
The old man's acting is really good. This scene makes me feel so bad for him.
And so is Javier Bardem's acting too
His back story is even more sad and it would of been more sad if his call was wrong I'm so glad he called it correctly
@@angelgomez1918 he came back and killed him. We see Javier's character open the vent later using a bloody coin
@@DrumCoversFromHell no, he didn't kill old man
@@DrumCoversFromHell I highly doubt Anton would break his own rules and go back and kill someone who called it the correct face in a coin toss
That unraveling peanut wrapper deserves an Oscar.
I was searching for this comment.
Well done man.
Too bad it was dumped in the dumpster after that scene. Damn the directors of this movie is cruel
Jose, you just made me laugh so hard. Funny!
No, I think it was over-acting.
@MUFC If soccer is so big then why the fuck do you feel the need to reiterate how important and massive it is???
This movie is meant to be watched at night. There's just something about it when everyone and everything is asleep and quiet.
I watched it in the evening. I intend to watch it again at night. There's just something so compelling about contemporary western movies like this one.
The acting in this scene is flawless, both of them speak in a calm monotone voice but you can sense the tension between them rise slowly but surely. One of the best movies of that time.
Even the coin deserves an oscar for this scene
For me it was the peanut wrapper.
Definitely wrapper
Definition anton hairs nailed it
What
Absolutely. The wrapper nailed it - method acting at its finest. He totally owned the part.
This scene felt like it lasted an hour
Damn near every speaking scene with Chigurh felt like it lasted an hour. What a presence that character had.
@@missbelled6700 honestly if I were the old man I would have done shit myself cause that dude was so serious on everything with that ominous over tone.
In all the best ways

Bcaz every bit of the whole scene matters a lot.
God the amount of tension this movie has is so impressive. Late 90s/early 00s thrillers like this are just gold.

😂
Do you eat 2 nuts at a time, Friendo?
I eat one nut at a time so I'm a psychopath.
The old man's acting here was super stellar!!🔥🔥 He stays reasonable, plain & composed... this was an epic scene!! Coin tosses have never looked so gripping!! Sheer brilliance!! 🔥🔥🔥🏆👑
overacting
I love the shot of the wrapper slowly expanding. To me it was a visual cue that things are quickly getting out of hand for this clerk.
You were thinking to much into this when you typed that comment
I only saw it as Anton was clutching on to the wrapper really hard. Like he was tensing up. That's about it.
@@Hussman493Anton is always calm. Slow and calculated. I think the wrapper is a good visualization of the growing tension between the two. You cant see it on him but you can feel it, so the wrapper is the visualization of Antons growing desire to kill the clerk. But neither of us are incorrect since its subjective. Either way it communicated the same feeling to both of us, we just read it differently
I love how the old man picks his words carefully enough not to trigger an outburst from him it’s like they’re both playing along on some tightrope yet both trying to keep their cool it’s so interesting

Underrated
I know everyone talks about the performance of Anton, the older fella, and even the coin but I think the tractor outside doesn’t get enough credit. Never seen such phenomenal performance from a vehicle, let alone a work one.
Personally, I thought the peanut wrapper stole the scene. The amount of control that it showed as it slowly unfurled itself was the pinnacle of the supporting actor role.
Cant believe it took me half my life to watch this movie, masterpiece definitely speaks the truth. this scene alone never stops me from feeling the fear and tension in this moment. might be my favorite scene in any movie ive seen. so simplistic but utterly fantastic.
It's interesting how the lack of music actually makes this scene even more terrifying.
Actually this is the only scene in the movie that you can actually hear some sort of music. In the rest of the movie, all you hear the nature and real world sounds. It is still a nice detail you put out there ;) By the way music starts at around 2:55
Which intensifies the surrounding sounds, each breath, each move, which makes some movie scenes so great but most of the people are unaware of that.
Wasnt terrifying. It was extremely awkward and uncomfortable lol
It's pretty commonplace to withdraw music in a scene to intensify the tension (if the director is at least mildly adequate). You can even go to the MCU in Spiderman Homecoming where Michael Keaton realizes Peter is Spider-man
@@anonymoushero9091 I really don't hear music at that point. Just a ring of the coin being flipped.
Anton choking on peanuts after hearing he married into a family just to run a gas station for his life is hilarious
🤣🤣
Makes an average of 60k a year. Besides that, he probably married his wife for other reasons, he said they lived elsewhere until they retired 4 years ago and took over her father's store
@@HomeschoolVouchers probably about 16-18k by 1980s inflation. Would be roughly 60k today
i doubt him choking on the peanuts had anything to do with the story. that man is in a world of his own. he doesnt rrally hear what other people say.
@UCf6kgUjkptbN8n8yUnpP1eQ prove it you degenerate
Every dad talking to his daughters first boyfriend😂
You'll love this one. I was in a bar near to an old school friend who was and still is renowned for his under-current aggression. He was with his wife and their daughter and their daughter's boyfriend. For half an hour I overheard the BF continually saying "Mr McShane". When the daughter and BF had left the bar, I leaned over and asked if he was a new BF. No, he said, she's been going out with him for five years!!!!!!!
His haircut will never stop making me laugh.
His voice alone would scare the shit out of me, let alone that hairdo.
Agreed friendo
That hairstyle would do for me
His pale like face also does it for me
When they decided what kind of haircut Anton should have, Javier Bardem said "Now I won't get laid for two months."
lmao
For those who don't live in Texas ,this is just a Monday morning

I've been through Texas, and that shit nothingness in west Texas for miles on end drove me insane. Miles and miles of flat land with nothing to look at. My prevailing thought every time I drive through there is "How the fuck can anyone live here, and what do they do for fun?".

Gerry Buckets a college professor shot a guy couple days ago for a driving incident that happen between the two.
🤣
3:58: This scene built tension so well you can practically hear music that isn’t actually audible go quiet in relief when Anton finally congratulates him. Like a big exhale of resolve.
because there is...music there 😂

But you just couldn’t stand not explaining it, could you?
I like how, despite being a complete sociopath, Anton adheres to this strict observance of the "coin toss". He seems genuinely happy for the man when he correctly guesses heads, almost as if he doesn't believe himself to be responsible for his own actions, and is simply carrying out the will of the universe.
Anton really gives off this body language that’s like “well, time for the coin toss. I’ve gotta do it. Let’s get this over with.”
@@dinglepringle1380 He's like this Hannibal Lecter kind of person who sees a perceived indignity he'll go about seeing it corrected his own way.
@@blessedamerican3541 Thats not true at all you should look up the definitions smh.
I know right, but we see that in real life people who commit crimes in the name of religion, not only murders but crimes which have no constitutional adherence.
@@sfs8730 where did religion come from? Also atheists are responsible for some of the worst massacres in human history.
I like how the tension is immediately evaporated once he wins the coin toss. Like the shop owner knows he deserves what he has now, and Chigurh knows it took everything for him to make that call. Guy went from a passive life drifter to a man with purpose
To be honest I think this scene shows also how incredibly slick and sneaky Anton is by Manipulating a social situation to cause distraction such as with this store clerk because in the end I'm sure he only paid a quarter for whatever he was eating and the gas 🤣🤣🤣
The way he says “well done” is so genuine. He was actually happy the coin was in the old mans favor. His ideals make him neutral in his own head. Incredible character development.
Best scene in the movie
I love this whole scene too, but why do you think that the way he says it is genuine ?
Yeh, he didn't want to have to kill him but he's controlled by his psychopathy.
Brilliant summation
It's like the coin confirmed what he thought, that the old man didn't deserve to be killed
the fact that he took the time to learn about the cashier’s life then put that life into a coin toss. also i love how he creeped the cashier out so much that he doesn’t even realize he just got away with paying for gas and a 69 cent candy bar for just a quarter.
Would you ask for it after that?
He may be old but he ain't no fool.
Do you not realize that a U.S. 1958 quarter is silver, or 90% silver…. So that makes it worth roughly $4.00 or so…. By today’s standards.

Is it weird i watch this every now and again just to be entrenched in this amazing acting and chemistry?
I find it interesting how that "well done" doesn't sound angry or disappointed (like being upset that he didn't get to kill him). He sounds genuinely impressed that he made the lucky call that saved his life.
Ikr, like "Damn GG brother"
Since he is allowing fate to determine whether one deserves to live or not. The man picking the right side relinquishes the idea that he perhaps should die. The universe has told Anton that the man deserves the life he has chosen to live. In some way he may enjoy the idea of being proven wrong, a learning experience for an insane man. Also Anton himself would prefer not to succumb to death. He is sharing a strange kind of sympathy in knowing that the man has won his life. even if the old man is completely unaware of what he was about to lose.
He’s a sociopathic psycho.
Wow you nailed it with this comment! Good observation. I thought the same thing.. he was like MAN put that quarter somewhere where you'll never lose it!, you crazy? Haha
he sounds relieved
The most accurate portrayal of a psychopath in movie history.
Kopiovastaava its your lucky quarter.DON'T put it In your pocket.or it will get mixed UP with the other money and become just a nother coin.,witch it is....then turned and walked away.so fucking cool was Antoine surger
TDK's Joker was noice too
I think the most realistic portrayal of a psychopath was by Casey Affleck in 'The Killer Inside Me.'
@nick m. Lou was more of a sociopath
@nick m. I may be wrong, but I always saw Lou as someone who was definitely capable of certain emotions and fitting in to an extent, and while we see him going to extreme lengths for the sake of his job, he doesn't particulaly seem to enjoy the pain people are in. He is however, almost completely indifferent to it; he just doesn't care, which I think aligns more with a sociopath.
Nineteen fifty-eight. It’s been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it’s here. And it’s either heads or tails, and you have to say.
This one scene gives me a whole life introductions.
It might be a single coin but it is the coin with you this place over 22 years.
By just a random cause and reallity
The old guy is an awesome actor. I could feel he was terrified as hell. During the whole scene I could hear his inner voice saying: "oh god, please don't kill me, please don't kill me!".
funny i saw it more like a deer in headlights, he was more or less in shock because it was an unusual social encounter but i dont think he ever understood he was being threatened.
@@Frostiedkdk no his body language says fear he even made up a closing time by saying now thats because the peculiar he was talking to was giving off eery and ominous vibes...listen to his tone of voice its all seriousness

Anyone notice how his mood seemed to brighten up once he found out that the merchant guessed correctly?
It's like the "Well done" was legitimate and he de-activated his psycho-mode.
I absolutely agree, that is exactly what happened. He relaxed the tone in his voice, facial expression and body language. Most of all he relaxed the intense energy/vibe he was oozing. Brilliant actor and amazing scene.
he was proud of him.
Even the sound of the coin kind of giving off a sound of release like the tension was just broken
His psycho-mode came back for a brief moment when the owner was about to put the coin in his pocket though
Yeah, that was interesting, what was that all about?
Imagine that in an interview, the hiring manager asks the candidate: "call it!" after tossing a coin on the desk.
Such an amazingly acted scene from both actors!!! I love the makeshift hanging noose references in the background of the shopkeepers window signifying how close he came to death right here (50/50)…
I love how Anton becomes almost playful after the coin toss.
He really lightened up on the guy once fate decided he should live.
4:22 of Anton Chigurh
5 seconds of Javier Bardem
I like how he subtly let's the old man know that a quarter just about took his Life..
"It's your lucky quarter.."(This quarter just saved your life)
"Or it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin... Which it is.."(You about lost your life over a quarter)
It added to the feeling of intense relief for the viewer. The opposite to extreme tension of the moment right before. A masterpiece of screenwriting.
I also enjoyed the "well done!"
@@AnxiouslyGaming LMAO
What a con. He convinced that poor old man to take
25 cents for his food and gas.
+Develan He was willing to pay for the gas but the old man was being nosy (friendly) which pissed him off. He is a HIT MAN not a cheap skate. Remember how he paid the kid to help him with this broken arm.
He came back and killed him too. When he opens the vent you see the change he paid with and the quarter has red stains on it.

Without a drop of blood, can any scene ever give this chill? OMG
This is the most terrifying scene I've ever witnessed. The psychological manipulation of the store owner is so much you feel like you're the one standing behind the counter.
Watching this i felt like i was right in the store hiding in the back crapping my pants.
But crazy thing is someone pointed out that throughout this film. There is no drama music. Which makes everything more intense.

@@mightguy123456, well, a coin toss where each day you have 99,99% chance to guess right, slowly decreasing the more you age or the situation you're in.
Anton’s entire point was that this dude’s life and all of our lives are determined by random happenstance. The coin toss it just a metaphor and Anton believes he himself has been deemed the arbiter of life or death.
@@ShadyRonin Random has always been my favorite kind of happenstance.
Every day… it more or less does.

No one ever talks about how the acting of the old man is incredible! He did an amazing job, on par with Javier Bardem.
"If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it.".
Definitely not on par with Javier Bardem, but still a great job
The moment he realizes this guy is both crazy and serious. . and he'd better call it and stop asking questions. He knows. The actor shows it on his face -- Phenomenal.
@@errwhattheflip In the scene itself? Definitely on par with Bardem. We're not comparing their whole careers lol
@@kyrrodi9498 I'm not talking about their whole careers. Just the scene itself
And this is why we don't do small talk in Germany.
Hatun
Finanzamt!
The last time someone did small talk Poland was invaded.
@@Anonymous-pm7jf i can't consider 6 years of propaganda as a small talk.
Germany is beautiful
Amazing scene in a fantastic movie. 'You've been putting it up your whole life. ' What a line!
Also think, having watched this a half dozen times, that it seems obvious Chigur is just playing with the guy for fun. The guy inquiring about where he's from is the trigger for Anton to just play his game, get his twisted thrill out of it and then almost chuckle to himself as he casually strolls out.
Brilliant.
No. Anton's character is (To himself) Neutral. He believes himself to be an "agent of fate".
Thats what the coin toss was for. to see if fate was to kill the poor dude or let him live. He (then again, to his own deranged mind) really just acts out what he deems natural, it the coin and therefore fate didnt want the old fella dead, then why would he? lucky guy.
Its so crazy to think a Spanish actor achieved this level of acting in a language he didnt dominate, props to Javier.
His hair wig is more terrifying than the whole scene.
Not even a wig, it’s his real hair
@@scarfxze121 wtf now I am even more scared.

No...your photo is more scary...lol
- How much?
- Sixty-nine cents.
- And the gas?
- Twelve dollars.
* Chigurh puts money on the table *
- Good bye.
- Good bye sir.
* Chigurh departs; gas station owner watches him driving away; scene fades *
If it was actually realistic:
"How much?"
"Sixty-nine cents"
"Nice"
"Nice"
Chigurh leaves
- How much?
- Sixty-nine cents.
- And the gas?
- Twelve dollars
* Intense scene of Chigurh selling the quarter to the gas station's owner *
- Good bye.
- Good bye sir.
* Chigurh departs; gas station's owner watches their quarter, slowly realizing he never got payment for the gas *
If you pay twelve dollars for a full gas tank you get to bring me gas every day and I'll pay you 24 dollars for a full tank if you do that for me
If Steven Spielberg directed No Country for Old Men
@@grigorirasputin1101 Yes. No country for old stormtroopers.
Javier did a great job. It's fascinating how excellent an actor can be. Standing ovation!
Top 5 scenes in cinema history
Sometimes being too calm could be million times more intimidating than being too loud and angry !!!
The Calm before the storm.....!!
Yes.
Hans Landa approves
Of course..but you need to make the eye contact.
Thanos was calm
“Will there be something else?”
“I dont know, will there?”
Bone chilling
Exactly. He's overall super calm in this scene but so intimidating and terrifying. Absolutely genius acting.
Translation: “I’m very capable of killing you right here and now, and I am thinking about it, but I haven’t made up my mind yet”
"You're the customer, you tell me! You peanut-munching DORK!"
@@robharris4646 Okay, now I want a parody of this where the clerk isn’t scared of him and is just like “the hell are you talking about?”
This scene had me holding my breath.
I like how the coin means everything up until the clerk wins his life. Then it becomes "just another coin"
No, he stated that IF he got it mixed with the other, THEN it will become just another coin. For now, it is his lucky quarter, the one that bought him his life.
@@juanlaise1059 Then he said which it is.
Nice analysis....
@Juan Laise now that you word it like that I see the scene differently
@@juanlaise1059 even the killer stated it was just another coin. Even though he stated it was the clerk's lucky quarter. Cause if he gave YOU that quarter, it would be what? Just another coin. IMO.
The only man who is intimidating in a bowl cut.

This is one of my favorite movies of all times👍 its so good I could watch this scenes again and again and again😁👍👍👍
you could watch this with absolutely no context and still be on the edge of your seat from the palpable tension
I was sure old man was gonna get murdered when I watched this movie.
That shit was anxiety inducing intense dagger.
@albert fish I had no idea about the coin toss and kinda scared shitless.
It's more scary to think what could've happened than what actually happened
@G E T R E K T 905 I meant nothing by it
He's so intimidated he even asked where he should put the coin after he won it lol.
I wonder if he can do anything to him if he refused to call the coin toss.....he can't kill him because he unknowingly hasn't accepted the wage of the outcome.
I tried this with my parents
I'm homeless now
Thanks
I tried this with my ex and I am asexual now!
I tried this with my Pittbull, I'm mauled to death now.

This guy doesn’t get enough roles. He’s a brilliant actor and especially in villain roles.
What other movies was he in? Where he played the villain?

@@djharto4917 loving pablo
Lol Salazar's revenge lol ...
Reminds of star trek with KHAN
Lol
This was such an intense scene. The clerk is such a genuine old country man and was the perfect casting choice here.
no country for old men
It was amazing
I went to do with a gentleman the same as hitman did, I got a slap in the face that is hurting me so far
