No Country for Old Men Scene 31 Summary

  • Sheriff Bell sits with his deputy in a diner. The deputy tells him that three Mexican drug guys were killed in a motel near Del Rio. These are the guys that Anton Chigurh killed when he was following Llewellyn with the transponder.
  • Sheriff Bell wants to know what kind of people live the lives that Chigurh does. He reads the paper and finds a story about a nice couple that rented out rooms to old people, then tortured and killed them before cashing their social security checks. Nobody noticed anything strange until an old man wearing nothing but a dog collar escaped from the property.
  • Sheriff Bell finds it crazy that that's what it takes to draw people's attention nowadays. What can you do but laugh?
