Man Who Hires Wells You know Anton Chigurh by sight. Is that correct?
Yes, sir. I know him every which way.
Man Who Hires Wells When did you last see him?
Wells Uh, November 28th of last year.
Man Who Hires Wells [Wells moves to sit down in a nearby chair]
You seem pretty sure of the date. Did I ask you to sit?
Wells [sitting down]
No sir, but you struck me as a man who wouldn't want to waste a chair.
Man Who Hires Wells How well do you know Chigurh?
Man Who Hires Wells That's not an answer.
Wells What do you want to know?
Man Who Hires Wells I'd just like to know your opinion of him in general. Just how dangerous is he?
Wells Compared to what, bubonic plague? He's bad enough you called me. He's a psychopathic killer, but so what? There's plenty of 'em around.
Man Who Hires Wells He killed three men in a motel in Del Rio yesterday, and two others at that colossal goat**** out in the desert.
Wells We can stop that.
Man Who Hires Wells You seem pretty sure of yourself. You've led something of a charmed life, haven't you, Mr. Wells?
Wells In all honesty, I can't say that charm has had a whole lot to do with it.
You know, I, uh, counted the floors of this building from the street.
Man Who Hires Wells And?
Wells Well, there's one missing.
Man Who Hires Wells We'll look into it.
